At this point why should I count on something that takes electricity to even exist? One major difference between the Great Depression and now is that the generation of the Great Depression knew which end of the broom points to the ground.
Get out of major metro areas and get serious about food and water storage.
Do you know why/how South Africa added to the BRICS monogram? What did they have to offer so early on before other countries, say, Argentina?
Can bitcoin be gamed if governments decide to buy up all the current supply (maybe by manipulating the markets) on the cheap, driving the value up and leaving the citizenry to fight over Satoshis or has that boat already sailed? Or because not all the supply has been mined, so that is an impossible scenario? I’m missing lots of lessons on basic economics so this might not be applicable, in which case, forget I said anything.
This is so far over my head all I can say is I look forward to reading and learning more. Thank-you!
I do wonder how China's shutting down bitcoin/mining fits in. They are obviously a leading BRICS participant. Did they anticipate a competition between Bitcoin and Tina-D? Is that why they did it? If so, where does Russia fit into the equation, if they are using Bitcoin to bypass sanctions?
The Roosevelt admin stripped citizens of gold. By making it illegal, it was risky to hold it, and what could you do with it anyway? How will Bitcoin holders fare any differently if the U.S. chooses to follow in China's footsteps? If they make holding or trading Bitcoin or converting it to/from dollars illegal, what could the average American, rooted to place and family here, do?
I started an umbrel server last week. Lord have mercy the blockchain has grown since I last had a full node running, my little raspi is barely picking up 2% of the blockchain per day trying to download the full chain.
I did get into Bitcoin early, but stopped paying attention to it after a while. Getting back into it now, at what truly feels like a major world turn, feels like starting a new life. Anyone have any links to educate myself on getting into being part of the lightning networks and making money that way?
Move forward how? What does the average citizen with average investments do in this situation? Or are we helpless, to follow your 12-step analogy?

This is pretty heavy reading. I'll need another full pass at this one.
But you worked in "yellow BRICS road" here, I think that deserves a shout out.
