This is where BTC makes sense, jmho


Why not gold? It's interesting that people keep talking about BTC as a safe haven when that boring old yellow metal just sits there holding its value for thousands of years. Literally nothing has been a more stable store of value than gold. Crypto may be the future. But it sure as hell isn't a good place to store wealth for the long term. We've seen it drop 70% in just the last few months. Gold may be boring but it's safe and it can't be inflated.
i was thinking more along the lines that Sri Lanka should adopt BTC as its currency. They literally have nothing to lose.


If you cannot afford power how does Bitcoin help?
why cant they afford power?? stop being obtuse.


The country is bankrupt, has no fuel, and must import all fuel sources. How exactly will Bitcoin help when you need power and an internet connection to actually use it?

This is a real **** hit the fan scenario, Bitcoin is utterly worthless here.

They devastated their agriculture industry with government mandates to go completely organic. There are 22 million people there in danger of starving. Unfortunately the world is in chaos and won't be in any position to mount a relief effort of that magnitude.

World governments are creating these situations with green initiatives. Look what's transpiring in the Netherlands right now with the Dutch farmers. Why is the government wanting to reduce farming 30% at a time when food shortages and the possibility of famine is being talked about as a real possibility?

You have to ask yourself if this is gross negligence or is it intentional.


this is INTENTIONAL they/ the elite have said it. people are not paying attention. by 2030 you will not own a house or a car and like it. we will not have guns unless we fight with and for them. we will have no freedom and we will eat bugs. they are telling us their intentions but no one believes them. it is crazy

if we don't wake up, before the end of brandon's presidency we will be in the exact same position. they will starve us out and force us to trade guns for food.
If bold is true what is wrong with the reaction of the Sri Lankans? Looks logical and warranted.
Agreed.

But while I can't base this on anything it's just maddening knowing (assuming, really) that probably 2/3 of the people storming the palace have been voting for this end. Most people are hopelessly selfish and short sighted and dumb.
People want their cake and to eat it too.

I don't know about Sri Lankans, but here in the U.S. it is a life without responsibilities and living "freely," meaning a life without effort, work, or any constraint for that matter and the pursuit of every indulgence and sensual pleasure with impunity. Government failure in providing this higher order and more progressive lifestyle is only because they, the government, applied the incorrect theory.

Sri Lanka declared bankruptcy yesterday.

There have been riots for the past few months because they have no fuel, inflation is out of control, foor prices are skyrocketing, blackouts for over 12 hours a day, and medicines are hard to come by.

The police/military was ordered to shoot rioters.

And now, the Sri Lankan people have over run the presidential palace.



This is where BTC makes sense, jmho


In a country with no electricity? Or, very little electrical certainty?

That's why the dems want to take away guns from citizens. They know their policies will cause this.
Yeah, but this isn't the same America that kicked the British out of our country. I don't care how many guns the population has, we're a paper tiger.

The Elites need to be put back in their place. It starts peacefully at the ballot box and they better get the message. This green agenda will need to violence. That's why Jan 6 is so big in their world. It scared them to death. And that was a pebble being thrown in the pond. Next time it won't be so innocuous.

You don't respond to a stolen election with another business as usual vote 2 years later.

True. The overreaction is because it visually previewed what they provoke. It wasn't actually that thing--its their guilty consciousnesses projecting.

You know on further thought, if that is true, it sounds like a true case of where some `Cloward-Piven' types have met the outcome they earned. That is all too karmic.

#2 Port in Sri Lanka
Quote:

Hambantota port is also known as the Magampura Mahinda Rajapaksha port and is situated in the southern part of Sri Lanka. It is close to the Asian and European maritime trade routes, the Suez Canal and Malacca Strait. More than 39,000 ships and 5000 oil tankers pass through these routes which saves freight costs and reduces sailing time by three days. It is also the country's most diverse deepwater facility, constructed in 2008 with Chinese financial aid and given to China on a 99-year lease.

The growing congestion at Colombo port was the primary reason for constructing Hambantota. It was also envisaged to solve the country's logistical problems and offer quick access to the international shipping lanes. The port is being developed in phases but it has led to the emergence of conflict between the Asian powers, India and China since the latter seeks to establish its paramountcy in the Indian Ocean while the former strives to maintain a natural defence area.

THAT is a big damn deal.

It might make more sense if the knowing among you recall that Sri Lanka = Ceylon, and how important it was to the Royal Navy and British Empire. For China to have a big hold there is indeed a menace to who controls the Indian Ocean, currently India.

For clueless Cheney and the press that is what an insurrection looks like. The govt actually is run out of the capital city, and the uprising starts to just frolic among all their fancy holdings. With no thought of what lies ahead the next week, let alone month or year.

This is China's MO. China enters unstable nations by building, financing, management/operations, or something to do with a port system and port system loans(obviously benefits China in the process). Once the country defaults on loan payments, China goes through the legal process to file liens against the port. Ports usually go bankrupt and China takes over or there will be an armed conflict between the nation militants and the Chinese at the port. Pretty regular occurrence in both West and East Africa.

Seems like people like you already tried to do just that by doing something very similar to what that crowd in Sri Lanka did. If you want Democrats out of office, try steering your party back to the center.
