"I am talking about the creation of money and value out of thin air," he continued. "Governments now look at [cryptocurrency] like it's a novelty but the bigger it gets the less of a novelty it becomes."
“And that is different than what the banks do?”

You merely fear this cryptocurrency movement because it threatens your power. You will no longer be the debt-slave master on top of the world...”

Stay tuned.
