"In Hunan, an elderly woman in a wheelchair died outside a bank after being forced to appear in person to withdraw her own money for medical care. Too weak to pass mandatory facial recognition scans, she collapsed after repeated failed attempts."
~ FFR #75

Technology is moving at an incredible pace, but the question is which direction is it moving? I increasingly believe we are on two divergent paths at the same time and headed for a collision course between two very incompatible worlds. Today we dive into Financial Freedom Report #75, with news from China's monetary expansion, new potentially authoritarian measures from Bukele, demonstrations of technological oppression, and powerful new tools for technological freedom. We are in a race, and there still remains a critical question for which path wins in the end. Find out in today's episode with a long guy's take to follow.

"A year and a half ago, two years, bitcoin was still a joke. Bitcoin was still something that was very hard for someone legitimate to... you had to have balls to go speak of it like a legitimate thing, like a serious player. And today it is a legitimate safe haven asset. Even though it hasn't been adopted like that, in the sense that every institution is rushing out to buy - the conversation has completely changed. Like night and day." ~ Guy Swann

Catch up with me and the crew on this re-release episode from "Meme Factory™." Greg, Sean, Yellow, and Rusty bring their unique vibes to the table, making this chat as fun as it is insightful.

Bitcoin Custodial Multisig

"Only the Federal Reserve System was designed to survive and take over all assets and banking activities. Only the Federal Reserve Banks and those selected and controlled by the Federal Reserve were allowed to reopen. The Federal Reserve was also indemnified by the government, i.e. the public, for any losses. And so, large-scale closure of banks and taking of bank deposits is not unprecedented. Holders of cash in banks are unsecured creditors, with no enforceable claim to their money. [...] All deposits and assets will be taken by the "protected class" of secured creditors. This is where it is going." ~ David Rogers Webb

Its time for the conclusion of "The Great Taking," In Part 4 we explore how the 1933 Bank Holiday wasn't a rescue, but a carefully orchestrated wealth transfer that created the template for today's coming collapse. With derivatives worth more than the entire global economy "backed" by comically unfunded FDIC insurance, and central bank digital currencies ready to replace the old system with absolute control, are we witnessing the final phase of the greatest theft in human history?
