97% Owned - Positive Money Cut
Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
To join the campaign to democratise money see http://www.positivemoney.org.uk/97percent Watch the sequel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Ac7ap_MAY When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked - questions like: where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance breaks down? 97% Owned is a new documentary that reveals how money is at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatised, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Fact-based and clearly explained, in just 60 minutes it shows how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis. Produced by Queuepolitely and featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor, the "HBOS Whistleblower" Paul Moore, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign, this is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective, and can be watched online now.

Everyone should watch this. Sadly only a few will.

There are many people who agree this system indirectly, I'm talking about a very big sector of poor people who think it's necessary rich people making business (with them) in order to get a misserable wage to survive. These people indirectly believe in social clases, they support this idea, and they think the world should be like it is. Information doesn't make any effect in their minds, and I think this is the biggest problem, the "zombies".

I do not think this video is 100% fair as it fails to mention, that private banks are not allowed to print money as they wish. They have to put up certain amount of real money in the central bank in order to issue electronic money.

I have explained in my blog, at this link
http://exiteconomics.blogspot.fr/2016/07/money-series-origins-of-inequality.html
the origins of raising inequality in the Western Countries, since the collapse of Bretton Woods system in 1971.
The point I want to stress is that in order to understand the crisis we are experiencing, and our fears about our pensions, the immigrants, the lost of jobs, the increasising gap between the richest and the poorest, we need to understand some basic facts about
1. how money is created
2. what happens to the trade balance when you can print money and buy stuff from emerging countries, like China.
I will try to explain, in each post following this one, the root causes of the stagnation of our salaries, the increase of our debt, the problems of getting the right education to cope with the new challenges in the labour market.
And to give clues and hints on how to defend ourselves from these changes: when it is time to buy a house, how to invest, what changes in your mind attitude you need not to be biased by the media when you need to take important economic decisions. -

People have to realise this is not a mistake,,Greedy mentally ill people are syphoning off all this human effort and doing nothing with it,the equivalent of putting it in a hole.

Money does not disappear..It always go,s somewhere.. -
Money is like oil in an engine,it is a social lubricant .It is is a Talisman in the true sense of the word.

Money =human energy/time..
The problem is when Corparations trade in and manipulate human work/energy/time. And Steal human/work/energy.
And do it without any energy/time themselves(well a very small amount)..Thats why they are fat Bastards..And they are protected by civil Law... -
The funny thing is that positive money doesn't believe in Bitcoin. So to know what is happening is not so difficult what is difficult is to find a solution.

+amdg+ perhaps, it's better said that people who create the notes that are the foundation of the Loan are the ones who actually create the money, the bank facilitates the transaction, turning around and extending credit, which means expected deposits, but in reality, the people create the money, because they created the note and are pledging their sweat equity, which is translated into future deposits, right? +pax Christi!+

watch the people lining up on the other side to tell you about how bad they are (and trust them)

This is a very well crafted video which skews the reality, to enforce a certain train of thought. There are so many misnomers and points missed in this video. Id just be careful in what believe when it comes to issues like this. People like to seem different and through arguing against the regime its exactly what they think they are doing

If the state exercises it's conceivably, sovereign right of seigneurage only 1 to 37,
why not increase the ratio; either taking a portion off public debt or
releasing funds for public investment? -
I like the documentary but what's it got to do with LGBT?? 2:33

We don't need to beg anybody to give us our freedom/rights back. We are free, just have to realize it and act on it. The tools are in our hands:
There are viable alternatives right now. Decentralized/peer-to-peer/worldwide distributed systems are the way to empower the people and bypass banks and all centralized financial institutions, the path to re-set the control from the few to the many, are the future for everything. The potential implications of the development of distributed consensus technologies is revolutionary.
We have now an open source peer to peer decentralized digital currency. It is very safe, since is cryptographically secured by a distributed global mathematical algorithm and public decentralized open source ledger, a revolutionary disruptive technology called 'Blockchain'.

This could be the future of money for everything, from donations, micropayments, money transfers, online shopping and bill payments, etc.
Empowering and welcoming to the game to billions of unbanked people. And the blockchain peer-to-peer open source decentralized secure technology will be used for many more applications, like escrow, contracts, voting, global ledger, etc.
We shouldn't be like the ones that were dismissing the internet not long ago as a "den of pedophiles, drug dealers and terrorists". The blockchain is the biggest thing since the internet and will benefit also the billions of under and unbanked people.

Be an early adopter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_adoption_lifecycle#mediaviewer/File:DiffusionOfInnovation.png
The labels on the Adoption Curve[1] say that Innovators are the first 2.5%, and Early Adopters are the next 13.5%.
There is no way bitcoin has reached 16% market penetration yet, so the people who say the early adopter phase is over are simply wrong. Assuming around 5 million consumer wallets represented 5 million users (they don't), and total internet users are 3 billion, we are optimistically at 1/6th of 1 percent penetration. More realistically it is 0.1%. Therefore we are still very early in the innovator phase.
Historically all fiat currency systems end up debased by inflation and drop to their natural intrinsic value of zero. There has never been a situation where this hasn't happened. The average time that a fiat currency system lasts has been around 24 years.
Ours, which is the mother of all fiat systems, when you factor in the fractional reserve banking money, has existed for 45 years - since Nixon took the US dollar off of the gold standard (temporarily) in 1971.
An inflationary collapse is well overdue, and the banking power elite know this. For the last 30 years they have exponentially expanded the digital currency supply and doled it out only to certain connected elite groups who have steadily used this imaginary digital currency to buy up most of the worlds resources and assets, and more importunely, to buy up the political classes.
They know this will end pretty soon, but by then they will have consolidated all their power over the rest of us.
The pitchforks need to come out!
