Precious Metals and other rare/limited non-consumables >
Virtual (read: hackable/EMPable) symbols a (supposedly) decentralised group controls (if it's all truly anonymous who's to say one guy doesn't own more than half the bitcoins?) >
Bits of paper/plastic/base metals a central group controls

How did you learn about the dangers of central banking?

I agree mostly with your hypothesis. Moreover, I'm relieved anytime I find others coming to a similar conclusion regarding the central bank or One Bank. I disagree with your generalization that "crypto are a fucking scam." It is a move away from centralized fiat to decentralized fiat. A move in the right direction, a direction that forces these very discussions and the further education of the public. This is good right? Even if a crypto became a tulip, it would serve as a good lesson regarding fiat vs sound money.
Consider that Jesus Christ, Andrew Jackson and Adolph Hitler all shared similar concerns regarding The Bank. Three very different people sharing one commonality, one common enemy. Its poignant that we (the public at large) are not educated on these financial structures. And this is their, the Money Makers, intention.

Thank you
I would like to point out that the IRS will not allow crypto to flourish as a competing currency
They're letting it run as an investment asset but it will never be allowed to replace fiat
The only way to end fiat is to directly confront the bank itself by demanding that congress outlaw it again

it cannot be a fiat currency.
im still yet to work out what 'work' is performed to 'mine' this 'bitcoin'
was there a rare earth element built into all computer harddrives that we only realise the value of now that can be removed and transferred remotely somewhere else to be consolidated? We can send physical pieces of something over the internets now?
does it own a big ass piece of gold? diamond? real estate?
no, it doesnt. in reality (outside of a bunch of people all publically telling each other 'its worth this much today') it is worth *NO. THING. NOTHINGNOTHINGNOTHING. Nothing backs it up. Nothing of intrinsic value actually backs up any of this bitcoin shit.
The only people being scammed, are the ones shilling for it, because the scammers know damn fucking well how quickly you will regurgitate something youve been sucked into believing.

So you want congress to outlaw FRN's? You want the central planners to control what you can and can't use as fiat? Why is it any of their business if you and I decide to trade with fiat? Whether its FRNs or BTC, I don't want them controlling me.Fuck them.
Consider the root cause of the problem above.... the IRS. Taxation. It amazes me how quickly people forget that our country was born by murdering those who would tax us. Tax is slavery, same as imposed fiat currency. Its not a coincidence both income tax and The Fed were created within one year of each other 104 years ago.
Can we just cut to the chase and murder bankers and tax collectors? What would Jesus do? What would Jackson do? What would Hitler do?

False. They have intrinsic value. Perfect proof is that they are not used as money today, yet they still hold tremendous value. They have all sorts of other uses besides money
