The COVID19 SCAMdemic... WW3 Is 2 Days Away - Another Distraction From This Administration's Epic Fails

I don't agree with anything else gtifan said in that thread, but his discussion and definition of legal tender is correct.

That said, having the designation of legal tender is not a pre-requisite for being a currency.

The only reason we have legal tender is because we have a single currency created by the central government that has to be used for all things. If we had different currencies for different things then legal tender is only necessary for transfer between currencies. Crypto has a number of stable coins that track external values like the usd expressly for this purpose.

That thread is going to devolve into Scamdemic 2.0. It's sad. People have said it for a long ass time, but this thread has been the worst thing to happen to these forums in recent years. Creating animosity and driving a wedge between enthusiasts. Some people have been able to keep their differences to this thread, like @Keehs360 and @jimlloyd40 are perfectly civil to each other in other threads, while others aren't. It's a shame.

Talking about cars is enough to drive a wedge between some people.

This thread isn't the cause of any bad behavior elsewhere on the forum.

People who were jerks before the SCAMdemic started are still jerks now.

Why so serious?

This forum is one of the better ones for keeping beef's isolated. Even though there is minimal moderation and people can speak freely it is way better about letting stuff die.

In the tech forums I used to participate in the latent grudges would constantly pop up between members everywhere.

I (think) I do a pretty good job leaving stuff said in this thread in this thread. I try to.

Our 'legal tender' is monopoly money now, we are just like China at this point.
East coast out of gas because our government can't protect infrastructure from script kiddies.
What the hell are we paying them for?
You remember the shutdown a few years ago? Did you notice any change except parks were closed?

The vaccinated are getting sick with variants more than the unvaxxed. Real data, real science.

You only say that because you have a DSG.

I never said it was a requirement, but there is criteria for currency to meet to be considered a currency, and the current cryptocurrencies don't meet the requirements. I posted them in the other thread. Not only that, central banks are developing their own cryptocurrencies that will be more stable, will be legal tender, and backed be the assets and economic activity of that country, not just what people think it's worth.

And current cryptocurrencies are illegal in many countries already. Non-central bank backed crypto will more and more be made illegal or folded into central banks cryto.

The writing is on the wall. I'll all for people getting into cryptocurrency and making some money now, but don't think for a second central banks won't stop the music at some point and their will be people left without a seat. There is exactly zero chance in hell central banks and governments will let loose on the control of the monetary supply. That's not me supporting central banks and governments, that just the stark reality.

Exactly......the main banks have had power for quiet a while now...& its need as most big developed countries don't have "real" money as its all Fiat money anyway ...basically its not backed up by anything like gold sitting a vault...its all based on previous history, trust, reputation etc....

Assets and tax base, that's almost exactly like gold sitting in a vault.

And the reason we went away from the gold standard was they couldn't extract gold out of the ground fast enough to keep up with demand driven by rapid population growth, which was causing recessions every couple years.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, so fuck you too.

"We showed that vaccinees who tested positive at least a week after the second dose, were disproportionally infected with B.1.351, compared with controls. Those who tested positive between two weeks after the first dose and a week after the second dose, were disproportionally infected by B.1.1.7 "

Maybe you missed the TITLE of the study

Between Joe Biden and @cb1111 , I think we have definitive proof of brain damage from mask wearing.
