We are closing out 2018 which was the Year of FUD in the cryptocurrency realm.
Most of us on here are aware of the lies that Bloomberg and CNBC spread. They paraded the likes of Jamie Dimon and Warren Buffett on with regularity, all bashing cryptocurrency with not only outlandish opinions, but ones without basis in fact.
Anyone on here with rudimentary intelligence knows this was an orchestrated attack. There was little truth in what they shared and certainly no "reporting" or "journalism". It was all part of an agenda, in my opinion, put together by the banks. Whoever was behind it, the result was a collapse in price which had a detrimental effect on development. This was the goal and the use of the media was a part of it.
These points should be clear to everyone.
What is not clear is that while the media was completely fabricating what they were saying about cryptocurrency, yet Steemians still believe what they say about other things. I see debates taking place on here and am baffled that anyone believes it.
Here is the truth: They are lying to you about Trump.
Everything you are told is not true. Whether you suckle from the teat of Donald or cannot stand him, no matter who you are listening to in the media, you are being misled.
In fact this is true for all political affairs. It holds for governmental practices also. The news? What a joke that is. Their scientific research? Fabrications for the most part.
Have you noticed there is a "company" line and anyone who steps outside of it is demonized. They are viciously attacks with headlines that seek to ruin an individual. Of course, this is backed up with money that allows for the "research" that supports their agenda.
As the old saying goes, follow the money.
I have followed Trump for 35 years. He was a sensation for decades in New York. I know people who did business with him. There are also a lot that I know who had to try and collect money from him.
Thus, I feel qualified when I say he is a crook. He is a first class, grade A thief. Do not let anyone in the media tell you otherwise.
However, do not believe the media when they blast Trump for calling Hillary a crook. They are misleading you with an agenda. Trump knows a crook from across the country. The biggest rat in the sewer knows the other rats.
Of course we all know that since Mueller is investigating. What the hell. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn. So now people trust a lawyer to be the beacon of truth? Yeah because they are not known to railroad people for the sake of their own careers.
What is next, we trust a guy who once ran the CIA? Oh wait....
Big tech is also making waves these days. They spent the better part of the last 20 years lying to everyone. They make like they are for progress and pushing humanity forward but they are no different. Look at Facebook. The FTC investigation is the latest of setbacks for that company. It is also the latest piece of evidence how corrupt they really are. This situation relates to a settlement they reaches 8 years ago with the FTC which they went back upon.
Just add it to the pile.
Of course, it gets even better. Big tech is all for digital currencies. Do you think they are for decentralized systems that promote freedom? Not by a long shot. Instead they want the Federal Reserve to establish a payment system for digital currencies.
Are you kidding me? Technology companies want a bunch of bankers to take establish the system? Do they realize that is what we have now? You bet they do.
These companies are about control just as much as the media, bankers, and politicians. Even the "outsiders" are part of the family. And divide and conquer is the main tactic used. There are not enough of them to fend off the populations in different areas so they have the people turn on each other.
It is sad when people do not see this.
Remember when media outlets that supported Trump were beating the drum that he was an "outsider"? What a joke that was.
We have a major challenge on our hands. There is the opportunity to upset the entire apple cart in the name of freedom and humanity. Satoshi Nakamoto handed the world a gift as a result of the financial collapse a decade ago. It is up to us to carry that vision forward while evolving the technology. We are seeing that taking place.
Here we are, a decade later, with more tools at our disposal than we had before. Things are progressing in such a way because of decentralization. This is something that the world cares little about because they are clueless. In all honesty, they are too busy blaming each other (or the other whoever is the demon) instead of focusing upon the real captors.
Fortunately, there are a ton of very smart people who do see the issue and are taking action. For those who are familiar with SingulairtyHub, you will understand this.
Today, it was reported that they released their developer portal.
https://www.ccn.com/decentralized-ai-network-singularitynet-launches-developer-portal/
If you never heard of this project, it is a blockchain for artificial intelligence. The goal is to democratize AI by putting it in the hands of everyone. Having a decentralized network that it runs on means that it is not under the control of big tech companies who will use it against the masses.
Instead, the masses are going to be handed the technology to use for their own purposes.
This project had an ICO that sold out in about 30 minutes and raised over $30M.
We also see movements starting to apply what we are involved in here. Anyone interested in some AmbaCoin?
Do not know what this is? It is the coin created by the separatist group in Cameroon. It is now the official currency of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia. They are having their ICO on Monday to raise funding for their march to independence. The token will sell for 25 cents with 100M issued. (No Alice this is not financial advice).

This is being done on the Ethereum blockchain.
So I guess we can add revolutions to the list things that cryptocurrency is used for alongside guns, hookers, and drugs.
Of course, I am sure the government of Cameroon does not like this idea one bit. Nevertheless, we could see 2M people instantly turned onto cryptocurrency.
Do you think this story is going to appear on one of the mainstream media channels? If it does happen to reach it, do you think it will be tilted from the perspective of freedom? The odds are no. If this received any coverage, which it most likely will not, it would be made into a joke and laughed at.
That is how they operate.
We need to keep the lessons of FUD about cryptocurrency in our minds when dealing with these entities. There is an agenda is it is not to help us.
This is why spreading the word about non-censorship and blockchain being immutable is crucial. This is something that mainstream cannot counter. Their FUD only works as long as they are the ones promoting it. When it is challenged, it tends to fall completely apart.
And that is good for all of us.
