Is anyone aware grocery shopping is an extremely low margin business? the corporations in at least that business are not ripping us off.

this is not the answer to high prices IMHO

Some explanation here for what we have been seeing, but given the severity of the downturn, does it become self fulfilling when and if those in favor of federal and state BTC reserves get around to raising the issue?

Question:

Are Americans willing to put up with short term pain for long term gain?

Me: only for short time, if at all.

Dems pouncing 24/7 with their apparatchiks.

I am for the pain knowing the end goals are for our good.
Unlike Dem policies that simply continue to flush as down the drain.

I'm already out of the market. I wish someone could tell me when to get back in. Maybe when they're about to pass the Trump 2.0 tax plan.

I just re read my post from above

"Me: only for short time, if at all."

what I meant was I would be willing to sacrafice for the future of this country but I am sure most will not beyond a short time.

We have to continue the message that if we do not succeed now this country is toast.
I don't know how to drown out the LEFT machine .

I am thinking the Feds should buy quietly for say 6 months then announce they established a reserve. but low hold and sell when needed.

BTC reserve is here. the market did not like it, because they are not buying more. Its still a big thing, they wont be selling anything. Other countries will also set up similar. We have to wait for the Lummis bill.

A few years ago, people who held BTC were called drug dealers and criminals. Today the WH had its first BTC/Crupto conference. Michael Saylor (genius) presented this to the WH (read it slow and twice). https://www.michael.com/a-digital-assets-strategy

The Lummis bill has bipartisan support. Lets see. Its a way for the US to maintain dominance and pay off trillions in deficits.

He mentions "expanding criminal and civil forfeiture".

I am of the strong opinion that both of these are quite terrible and were they to be properly considered, unconstitutional.

The actual strategies to be used have not yet been disclosed, the above link was just someone's ideas of the possibilities. More importantly, the EU is going for the CBDC, ideally by Oct 2025, while the US goes for BTC and bans CBDC. see Christine Largard at 1:17 mark. https://x.com/efenigson/status/1898382481184993711

For years, I have pounded the table here on FHOF on the evils of forfeiture. Strengthening its hold by increasing it as a source of revenue for the government is a very, very bad idea.

"More importantly, the EU is going for the CBDC, ideally by Oct 2025, while the US goes for BTC and bans CBDC."

Freedom itself hinges on the outcome of this struggle!
