This meant you could redeem your dollar for gold & the government had to have enough gold to match the number of dollars they printed
“The Gold Standard” ended in 1971 b/c the US ran low on gold & needed more $ for war & welfare
With Philadelphia now up, the billboard photo thread that teaches those about #Bitcoin as an alternative to our broken financial system is complete
Those in the 12 Federal Reserve Bank cities who see them are directed to the thread below as copied from @BTCvsFED ⬇️
This meant you could redeem your dollar for gold & the government had to have enough gold to match the number of dollars they printed
“The Gold Standard” ended in 1971 b/c the US ran low on gold & needed more $ for war & welfare
When the Fed prints money, inflation occurs & prices go up b/c all dollars are worth less
Imagine the economy is a pizza & The Fed gives you a slice ($1)
When printing new money, they cut your🍕into more pieces to give out
Many Americans hold dollars b/c they can’t afford a home & w/ bills to pay they can’t risk the stock market
Meanwhile, the wealthy move $ into real estate & other assets that better hold value
The new money is given to select individuals and businesses. You wait for Congress to decide if you deserve a stimulus check
This process where money flows more easily to insiders is known as the Cantillon Effect and it makes the wealth gap grow even further
You have to trust those in power to print money for the right reasons
You have to trust they distribute it fairly
And…you're supposed to trust their updates on how the economy is doing
But some argue the type of goods chosen hides the true rate of inflation
We know inflation is happening but how bad is it?
They might shrink the portion size or use less healthy ingredients
There are so many ways this financial system can hurt you
What if you don’t want to be last to receive newly printed money?
What if you don’t trust the data the government provides on the health of our economy?
Bitcoin gives you an out
Lots of protesting lately yet not much change. A protest doesn’t have to be in the streets. BTC brings change via your wallet
I don’t want the average citizen to get left behind
You can buy or earn a small fraction of a bitcoin to start
You are part of a growing, global movement that brings about change by addressing the root cause of the problem
This project was inspired by many including @iamthecharacter @aiww @gladstein @stacyherbert @bitcoinzay @aantonop @maxkeiser @matt_odell @RealRossU @MartyBent @RussellOkung...
It was funded by selling prints of the artwork seen on the billboards
Appreciate any help in getting the word out. DMs open!

Ok, so what is the significance of the @lagarde statement on bitcoin?
We were offered a very open insight (but slightly flawed analysis) into top level policy perspective behind the crack down on selfhosted wallets.
https://t.co/1LTzrxHbgs 1/32
'It is a speculative asset, by any account. If you look at the price movements... '
It starts with an economic price perspective and we can learn that ECB is closely monitoring this price movement as one of the many indicators.
So we are in the classic central bank frame 2/32
'Those who thought it would turn into a currency. Sorry, it is an asset not a currency.'
Here she summarises a classic debate on what is currency and what is needed for that. Based on the holy three: unit of account, means of payment, store of value. 3/32
The summary is classic, but too narrow and does not incorporate the wider financial history viewpoints on money, currencies and the way we pay. 4/32
ECB overlooks the de facto unit of account role of bitcoin, having been used to 200 years of having cash around whic is both the unit of account and a means of payment. 5/32

I will be a buyer under 13800 levels, but depending upon the reversal on smaller timeframe.

Pending RSI divergence on monthly chart which requires a dip under 13805 to get resolved.
But monthly RSI divergences can go on for years before the resolution.
Best case scenario will be panic dump over next few months. pic.twitter.com/hi67hMg9sZ
$BTC views
Price needs to let volatility wear off before its next big move. Thinking 30K-40K range for the next 1-2 weeks. Then either 50K straight or after piercing 30K and bouncing back above 30K within 1-2 days.
$27500-$27000 is the key area. If price heads back down to 30K, expect 30K to be breached, fall to that area, and bounce back. FAST. All very fast.
What do I do with this information?
Simple.
I'm trading the range against a core position. Buying when price pushes lower, selling when higher. It's like playing the achordeon. There's always air left inside.
Where exactly?
Nowhere.
I don't use limits for that. $BTC is liquid enough to trade at market without issues.
I'm watching PA, volume and rates for buying and euphoria as reflected in rates for reducing.
Decision making is dynamic. Nothing is set in stone. But most likely if price heads back down to 30K 'll be holding off next time. The gameplan is to have ammo to buy the dip (to redeploy). If 30K breaks absolutely no buying until down to 27Ks or back above 30K.

My $BTC short-term view after long deliberation and some flip flopping is rangebound in 30K-40K until the curve and vols come off a further. Then, 50K. I wouldn't be surprised if 30K is briefly breached but the risk is to the upside. Those calling for 20K missing the big picture.
