Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Have you read his new book 'the death of money' by any chance?

pretty sure mtgox was fucked up by mark karpeles and all the dopes who trusted him -

true story.

He is talking about the confiscated money.

bitcoin doesn't really have anything of value backing it up.  you could kind of argue that against the dollar ... except, it does have something backing it.  a huge and lethal military ... and land

At risk of sounding nutty like whoever put up the astrological chart for bitcoin...I add this:

I'd read Mt. Gox as "Mount Gox" but watched a video yesterday where the vlogger was calling it "Em Tee Gox" by the letters.

In light of the above points about the gov involved, it could very well have been intended as "empty Gox"...

Just sayin 

The correct way to say that is Empty Box. 

The Death of Money promises to be another good read following on from Currency Wars, which has basically been a step by step of how things have played out over the last few years.

I think the basic DoM premise is that when the next crisis comes, the US Fed has no way to provide liquidity as they are basically tapped out having put 4Tr plus onto their balance sheet. The only institution with a 'clean sheet' is the IMF, and they'll print SDR's (baskets of selected currencies + gold). This should increase the gold price substantially and destroy the US dollar.

A few months ago Rickards was quite anti-bitcoin and he went between ponzi, pyramid scheme and electricity shutoff arguments. Now though he seems to have softened his stance in saying that he is not anti-bitcoin however he thinks the governments of the world will not allow it to prosper.

As you may have guessed, he is pro gold.

If Karpeles turns out to be the good guy in the end who got attacked, I'll eat my own hat.

I enjoy listening to the words of JR but they need to release the actual PDF officer's review text of the currency war he refers to.

I want to read all the details about the currency war, the executive digest mr. Rickards knows exists.  I want it doxxed and out now so we can all read the play by play of their theorywargame involving the world's money.  FUCKERS.
