If their proposed one world currency is named "phoenix" after a mythical bird which rises from the ashes of destruction and chaos. It would be a very amazing coincidence if there is a major push for adoption of this "phoenix" currency, if it occurred after major economic crashes on a global scale.

It could resemble a scenario where someone might wonder if events had specifically been planned and engineered to occur that way. Maybe the world's pension plans had specifically been designed to fail while fiat was deliberately overprinted worldwide to foment devaluation and economic carnage.

Of course, they had to ban Alex Jones as he was the only one crazy enough to challenge this and perhaps if he was lucky: expose it. What a crazy world we live in, even if very little if any of this turns out to be true.

Phoenix sounds super fucking cool, but it won't take over Bit coin coin. Wink

Yup. I don't see why people keep focusing on Bitcoin to replace everything while banks, governments, fiat and Bitcoin can perfectly function alongside each other. We can use the best of all options offered. That's freedom.

Not everyone is interested in Bitcoin to dominate everything. If Bitcoin was to replace everything as some speculative noobs want it to do, all others would practically be forced to go with something they don't like.

Bitcoin can't handle the weight of the whole world, and for that reason we should be happy to have other options helping Bitcoin to evenly distribute the weight of the world population. Bitcoin even with LN isn't going to do it alone.

How can you not see why they are focusing on bitcoin to replace everything? Usually they are just doing it for the money or to shitpost here on this forum, they don't care about what the world needs. We can use bitcoin alongside, fiat, but we need to services to do so. It'd be freedom only when bitcoin users aren't forced to give KYC and it is not freedom if they get their accounts blocked. What we actually need is to live in a world, where banks don't do fuckall shit and there be some liberty amongst people and we live in a countryless world. But we don't live in a perfect world, so fuck everything I just said.
