Give or take a week later from the last blog article I wrote and as always, much has been happening, whether to the dismay of people or not, is another question, but nonetheless much has happened and will continue to do so whether I report on it or not. Even so, I am sure many of you out there would love to do the same and for that, I totally encourage you to do so, whether we as a community agree with each other or not.
So, in continuing news, Brexit has got probably many of us going bonkers, not least me and the 17.4 million people who voted leave as well as those who deep down support the idea of encouraging the UK to go and be bold in the global economy and ultimately become competitive in what we do as a people, as a nation and though I don't pretend the ongoing mechanics and upcoming news and thus,the implications and ramifications of what has gone on and is going as well as what will go on,perhaps some of you do and therefore, I and I am sure many would be fascinated in hearing you guys out whether here on Minds.com or elsewhere if need be.
Otherwise, concerning Brexit, after a few days of analyzing the news and getting a rough idea of what has been going on, the truth is, is if I wasn't ashamed to be called a British citizen, I am more or less definitely now ashamed to be called a British citizen of "The United Kingdom" because if it wasn't bad enough having David/ "Dodgy Dave" Cameron as previous prime minister before he spectacularly failed with the Brexit vote, having this terribly incompetent (to put it respectfully and politely) prime minister: Theresa May, one can only wonder why she is still in power despite the fact that recently she has fantastically failed ( not really what I might want to really say, but what can I say if not that?) at getting re-negotiations renegotiated with the EU nation members while delaying the inevitable in UK parliament knowing that even if good old Theresa might have different tastes in music to the Kaiser Chiefs, these chiefs are probably going to be right about predicting a riot. Come on, who doesn't like the idea of someone saying: I predict a riot? ;-)
I mean seriously woman?! What do you and the rest of those fat cat mafioso bureaucrats expect/not get about the British people voting in the interests of Britain? Now I appreciate there may be a few misguided bureaucrats out there who are in the position they're in because there is more at stake than the alternative media might care to reveal but hey,I am probably wrong or someone would have been "bold" enough to have stated that in some shape or form about that and hopefully, those in that position can make a more informed decision on what side of history to be on.
This is key because ultimately whether for example,the EU adopts blockchain technology for current and future purposes as it has been over the course of a few years as shown in the links towards the end of the article, even if the technology helps to bring efficiency and transparency in ways that centralised systems cannot, so far the EU laws of GDPR have conflicted with what the blockchain technology as a whole, is about and will be about unless the EU as a bureaucratic and technocratic conglomerate union of member states do drastic measures to not be what is today.
And at the rate things are going with their united response of no to Theresa May's "assurances and reassurances" of a "Dog's Brexit" deal ( a dog's brexit= a dog's dinner of a Brexit deal), men like Juncker being allegedly a real lady's man in summit meetings and the ongoing pursuit of a united European military force against major players of the world like Russia,China and the US as well as threatening and blackmailing countries like Italy,Hungary and Poland with sinister sanctions all because these countries have peoples and leaders realise the true nature of mass immigration and the use of a single currency like the Euro, which has had devastating effects across the countries involved directly with the Euro and if the Euro as a currency is going to end badly as between few and many have stated and continue to do so, surely one can agree to a certain extent and to high probability, that the EU as a whole will end.
And it will be crazier and more chaotic and felt far more than any recession or fall of empires/kingdoms felt before. Perhaps I am wrong on how catastrophic and wonderful it will be for some elite and many ordinary folks involved around the world because not least with the financial markets of all sorts (Forex, Commodities, Indices, CFDs, stocks, cryptocurrencies etc), there will be major and significant transfers of wealth from both institutional and retail investors to other institutional and retail investors of the opposite side (in the cases of selling or buying various assets; there will be those who gain and those who loose depending on several factors including greed and fear and lack of discipline, among other emotions) but at the same time, the power, influence and control of the single monetary policy of the Euro will be destroyed or at least severely reduced to one or a few nations depending on how merciful the future implications and ramifications are of economic laws and what not.
If so inclined and motivated, have a read of Nickolai Hubble's book: How the Euro dies online. The book in hard book form is yet to be sold on Amazon.
After all, continuing on in the yet to come news of the EU and the Euro, markets of all kinds online and offline, are cyclical, partly due to the ever-changing supply and demand levels and price elasticity involved when involving the free markets of course; please do not entirely take my word for it as I am not the one who created the laws of economics, politics, science and life itself among many other laws that can be created and implemented.
It is the Lord your God who has done so if you must truly know this and challenge us Christian believers all you like, unbelievers and those who reject Christ as their Lord and Saviour,(which is fine due to the potential choices of free will and thus, the consequences as such which are beyond any human being's control) but remember sincerely and wholeheartedly and mindfully that we will all be judged by a pure, holy and perfectly righteous king of a judge when it is destined/appointed for men and women to die once and thus,comes forth the judgement from and of God Almighty
Of course, putting aside the Christian perspective of this point on the laws created by a creator accepted or rejected by creation itself (mentioned briefly in The Exploratory Thoughts on Luke book by Jonathan Redden); what I can say is that whether you love it,hate it,like it or dislike it, the long-term and the bigger picture of past,current and future possibilities and events,suggests and reveals at the rate certain things are playing in to play, like any empire or kingdom or monetary and political union, it's bound to rise and fall. The one exception is the Kingdom of Heaven. Don't agree with this? Ok, tell you what, comment below in the comments, up/down vote it if you want and share with those and respond accordingly via the methods possible.
Plus, in regards to stories in the Bible ( of any version or translation), the Tower of Babel, shows that in the end there are and will be consequences for what we do as a community united behind certain motifs whether God is involved in the equation of matters or not. Now, in this case, I leave the interpretations of such matters up to you, the readers, the spectators and commentators as I could easily drag on etc, so I will continue on with breaking news or not so breaking news.
So continuing on. If what I have said about the EU and UK doing a so-called Brexit Deal is off the cards, then surely this should and will get your attention and make you start wondering how these bureaucratic players really play the game with other countries such as Japan and thus making deals mutually for both sides. How bonkers can Theresa May and her posse of government supporters get when Japan and other countries on WTO rules has it that good with the EU gangsters?
Apart from Brexit, there is more to come, so stay tuned!
In other breaking news, Santa in a yellow jacket is coming to a French town near you, Macron (and La Bourgeoisie bureauctratique) because he knows when you've been a naughty boy and are on his naughty list! So don't expect any goodies at this time of year or anytime soon "Monsieur President"! :p.
I appreciate the Mr President affair happened a while ago but still, can't help but giggle away at a teenager making the point that everyone regardless of age and status should be calling him by the standards he has brought on his not so beloved republic (wish it was a beloved Republic for people to work and live in, but let's be honest, ask the people and you shall receive quite an answer at the rate things have been going) as he can lecture all he likes at Donald Trump about Patriotism and Nationalism, but he is not a lover or respecter of his own country as I hope all of you can fully tell by now even if he is the youngest president in French history and has a cougar of a wife (perhaps he is a mature and sexy enough player of a politician for some, but not for any mature woman who wants a real president of a man, then again I am not a leader of a country as you can well tell and perhaps someone out there can tell me what men and women look for in each other. Or not. Can always just leave it at that and do the good old trial and error of figuring it out as Rocket Raccoon so ironically suggests and improvise.)
Furthermore, I'd be very reluctant to have him any longer as president; if I were authorised to do the following, I'd be getting the Donald and Marine Le Pen to say and implement the following phrase: "You're fired" and get Le Pen in power and bada bing bada boom, FREXIT would finally perhaps actually happen! If only it were that simple but hey where there's a way, there's a will.
Moreover, the Yellow Jacket Movement is growing around the world. That, for me and I, suppose many, would be the least unexpected thing to happen but unexpected in the way that a mere yellow jacket would be of such significance.
But where there's a way and a will, scrolling down the articles of Cointlegraph demonstrate that despite the scaremongering, the doubt and the questioning of the future use of crypto and blockchain technology much is brewing and that's just the tip of the iceberg as it were and I can only imagine how many people will be benefiting from such financial and technological advances as well as from the rise of nationalism once these things are well established. Or it could be a complete political, financial/economic and technological dystopia of a world we are yet to live in. How should I know? Though the Bible is a good indicator if that's the sort of news you're looking for and looking to apply and implement in everyday life.
In regards to Cointlegraph and its many ongoing articles on global crypto/blockchain affairs, much can be easily reported and in this case, the recent events of Coinbase finally partnering up with Paypal again and implement over 2019 certain measures beneficial for those involved with Paypal and also 3 major US companies getting themselves upgraded via the blockchain which comes to illustrate Blockchain is getting there bit by bit in the sense of real-world progress with Vitalik at it again on progress. In other news, Trump selects a real bitcoin supporter of a Chief of Staff: Mick Mulvaney. Shame you didn't get the job Piers Morgan but keep it real at Good Morning Britain while you conjure up new badass plans for the future! :)
What I can say from this kind of news is that perhaps it is becoming more and more clear and evident that the Donald and the gang at the White House are "all about that Bitcoin" as well as crypto and Blockchain (reference from the DOGE LORD/Peter Saddington). After all, I wouldn't be surprised if Donald and the US Congress and the Senate etc are capitalising on the opportunity of creating an iconic cryptocurrency though maybe, I and others are just whacked out conspiracy theorists but only stating an opinion, not advice or verified facts. As always, some have to do verified facts and advice in certain jobs or the Law is on their ass till kingdom come.
Of course, Obama could have and might be getting involved in the crypto/blockchain creation war ( eg. like the arms race of the cold war) secretly but perhaps that is a step too far but who knows. Speaking of Obama, what good has he done for his alleged country besides screwing/bending the US over in every way as well as letting the elite participate in this while doing it step by step so as not to get caught in the game of "hide and seek"? Though he is not the only one to try to destroy America from within the inside and I suspect now that Trump is a potential candidate to potentially change many socialist ways in the US as well as indirectly be allowed to change the world by God's Grace.
Sometimes, God does choose unbelievers over believers to do his wonders/bidding but from what I can tell, that might be happening more and more as Christians as a whole aren't "manning up" to the call of glorifying God on a colossally major scale unless God is full of surprises and will use those who are willing to step up.
So, until he starts taking on the Federal Reserve apart and lives without "disappearing unexpectedly from the scene" or getting fired at the very least, Trump will really have to up his game as President if he is to be granted his destiny as the President of the USA as well as his destiny as a humble husband, father and son to his family and countrymen and of course the international community.
Over the last few months, SIRIN LABS, with the help of advertising/promoting from the well-known football player (atm anyway, as is the way of the game) Leo Messi (https://medium.com/@sirinlabs/leo-messi-and-sirin-labs-what-it-means-to-be-a-brand-ambassador-a8995383ab30) has recently launched its new world famous $1,000 "blockchain phone". Which wouldn't be a surprise to a gentleman of a crypto HODLer Peter Saddington but have a listen and support the man if you feel led to. After all, a family effort in creating a blockchain social exchange of a network, or a MEX, might actually and hopefully challenge Minds.com and other companies/entrepreneurs to do the same as a whole etc.
Of course, Minds and Yen could collaborate with one another because competitiveness and innovation are key for many reasons as you guys can or don't have to comment below and further elaborate on this as I am by no means a Harvard Professor who can somehow predict where these worlds are going. ;-)
In competition with the recently launched SIRIN LABS smartphone, are the Exodus from HTC and the Sikur as well as Huawei getting a piece of the action among others, if they're not bought up or put out of business anytime soon.
Furthermore, as progress is being made in the hardware and software as well as firmware departments of the emerging technologies and digital/virtual currencies, a company I'd like to focus on briefly is Facebook and the recent news and alleged events happening because yes, most of us here on Minds and around the world may not give a rat's arse/ even care about Mark Zuckerberg's financial affairs being monitored closely by the media as there are plenty of fat cat billionaires and trillionaires out there, who have lost more than him and haven't had to report that to the media though where there's a way, there's a will yet again when it comes to the truth leaking out on the internet as we know it and I can only imagine what it'll be like when it's decentralised and on a distributed ledger.
Now, I am sure this guy isn't the only one who knows this information but the idea of a Facebook Dollar (if decentralised) might just help me put faith and respect into Facebook as a social network it was originally created for, unless some still believe that certain institutions were involved in creating this as a social experiment.
Then again, the truth does matter and I suspect the movie The Social Network isn't quite telling the truth about the now billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. However, it looks like the Winklevoss twins seem to have got in the crypto/blockchain world before their competitor Mark Zuckerberg, so haha to him :p and remember, what goes around, comes around.
But not to deviate from the point, Facebook has much to improve on due to its recent actions of censorship and hypocrisy which have not been overlooked etc and alternatives like Minds are challenging the big boys like Facebook to re-evaluate their strategies and perhaps make a potentially world-class product and maybe even take on Coinbase or at least with its other contenders.
Otherwise, that is it for this week past and please feel free to comment on what I could add or even subtract in the future from this series on Brexit and other news. Hopefully, many more series on other matters shall come up in the near future.
Otherwise, many thanks and God bless as well as Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year!
