#monopolising

we of buddha dharma do not believe in your biological and mental bullying. such cruel monopolising is based solely upon a people following in the footsteps of a creator god theory. you who base your advantage over what we of the minority are upon this one god theory being of elitist acceptance choose to hold an illusion as greater than the reality of your living. a one creator god theory is based upon a caste system and a caste system is determined by birth right. those of a more advantageous birth right are said to have been given a more acceptable place with their god. buddha dharma does not follow a caste system and so does not create a society built upon social stratification. our belief is that all are equally entitled to a place within the heavenly realm. if such a place can ever be reached from what we here are forced to reflect our present lives through then it is only the learning and practice of buddha dharma that can provide this attainment for us.

can you of a covetous conflict making be for peace and equality if you knowingly choose to internally abduct the lives of those living for the encouragement of minority practices? if your popular processes create disadvantage then the answer is no... they cannot be for peace and equality.

Bit-part currency a bad bet

For all the regulatory crackdowns on Bitcoin in the United States in recent weeks, the cryptocurrency’s advocates remain unfailingly optimistic. Bitcoin is the future, they tell us. It heralds a future where private, stateless currencies will dethrone the dollar and other monetary dinosaurs.

Sorry, but Bitcoin isn’t the future.

If anything, it’s a throwback to an earlier era, when private currencies circulated alongside government-sponsored money. In fact, if you strip away its technological trappings – the encryption, the peer-to-peer networks – Bitcoin closely resembles these earlier private efforts.

This isn’t a comforting historical parallel. The alternative currencies of the past are long gone, thanks to a decades-long campaign by governments aimed at monopolising the money supply. The lesson of their rise and fall is one that Bitcoin’s boosters would be foolish not to heed.

Outside of libertarian circles, it has become conventional wisdom that it is both natural and desirable for governments to monopolise the production and quantity of currency. Rulers and regents throughout history certainly believed as much, claiming that they alone could issue – and just as often, debase – coins used by their citizens.
