It's possible that Bitcoin itself is a pet project of the bankers. Its volatility, association with SR, and general shakiness is a good way to establish to the public that currencies only work in the hands of a centralized entity, to destroy the public's confidence in any sort of decentralized currency. It's also a very clever way to disclose the opinions of the public, sort of like detecting thought-crime. Just one theory. So who knows.

Not likely. The bankers don't support libertarian technology as pet projects and if it was one of theirs you'd see hints of their mindset in the design of the project itself. It would reek of centralization and centralized power.

There was a new Bitcoin video that popped up on Youtube recently. All computer graphics, much of which have a lot of Masonic symbolism in it. Just saying.

Masons aren't any more important than any other social club. I suppose you believe the toastmasters international are the elite? The elite don't need to join a club, they are born into their family. If you need to join a club then you aren't elite.

Yet there are Masons who are born into it. I don't buy into that idea that Freemasons are just the same as any other social club. They seem to have greater influence than say, Toastmasters, which is just a club to improve one's speech-giving abilities.

Do you know any of these masons? How many masons do you know? I've never met an elite mason or toastmaster or any other fraternity and if you think that just by joining a club that you'll become wealthy you'll rule the world good luck with that. Maybe you should join?

I suggest you actually interview someone who is a mason or visit a lodge. They don't have any power in the United States. They are no more elite than the typical country club, toastmasters, elks, etc. The only reason the masons take so much heat is because George Washington happened to be a Mason hundreds of years ago, and FDR happened to be a Mason. What about George Bush? Ronald Reagan? Barack Obama? Are you one of the people who believe they were all Masons? What about Mitt Romney? Donald Trump? or the Koch Brothers?

The way to track the elite is to follow the money. Those who are so wealthy that their children will inherit the wealth are the elite. The masons you see at the lodge aren't wealthy, most aren't even rich and are no different from anyone else. The same would apply to any other club or fraternity, the maojrity of the members of anything are just like you and me and maybe one or two might be wealthy out of thousands.

If Bitcoin were a club then I'm sure there are a few wealthy individuals involved with Bitcoin but that's not the majority and no I don't think Bitcoin is a cult but some people think it is.
