The “War on Cash” is Fake News

After the Indian government “surprise withdrew” some of its banknotes people are getting worked up about the “War on Cash”, claiming that this is the beginning of a nightmare totalitarian phase of society coined, “The Cashless Society”. This is absolutely ridiculous, and betrays a profound ignorance of the nature of the cash in use today.

The paper “money” people imagine is real money, that they, their parents, and their parents, and their parents have been using is not money. For generations, these people have been the victims of a fraudulent system of “fiat currency” that is backed by nothing and which has been stealing from citizens for generations.

Now that computers are powerful enough and are all connected all the time, the people who control this fraudulent paper money system have decided that they want to switch to an all electronic version of their fraud. This switch to electronic fiat is far less of a big deal than the generational paper fiat fraud.

The money people are so worked up about losing is already worthless. It is backed by nothing, and its supply is infinitely expanding by design. It is deliberately made to steal the wealth you've earned by a system called “inflation” which is an increase in the supply of money.

What is Inflation?

The nature of inflation can be boiled down to the following illustration. Here are 100 apples:

100 Apples

Lets say dollars (with all that implies) are money, there are 100 $100 dollar bills on Earth and only 100 apples, and one apple costs one dollar.

A stack of 100 $100 bills. All the money in the world!

You have 5 dollars in your bank account. You're rich! If you want to buy an apple, you take one dollar and buy an apple. But what if the government can make more dollars? Lets say that the government doubles the supply of dollars in one day.

Where did those extra dollars come from? What the….!

Now there are $200 dollars in circulation. That means there are twice as many dollars chasing the same 100 apples. That means that each apple costs 2 dollars, because the amount of money chasing them has doubled. If you want to buy an apple, you now need to withdraw and spend 2 dollars instead of one.

Do you see what just happened? All of a sudden, your savings can buy half as much as they used to; half of your spending power has been stolen from you, without anyone touching your money. The amount of money in circulation has doubled, but your bank balance remains the same. This process, which is called inflation, is at the very heart of the system of money you use. The target rate of inflation that the government thinks is acceptable is 2%; that means if you store $100 this year, next year it will have $98 worth of spending power.

This is theft, pure and simple, and the only reason why people don’t get up in arms about it, is because its invisible to them. If their actual balances went down by that much by government diktat, they would burn the Statists alive at the stake.

Inflation has been going on for generations with the government created money systems populations are forced to use through “Legal Tender” laws. Every single currency ever created by government has died due to inflation, the most recent examples being the Zimbabwe dollar.

The Zimbabwe Dollar. Rotten to the core!

The fact that governments are removing the paper token element to their fraudulent system is completely irrelevant. The bigger, “meta problem” is the nature of the money itself, not the physical form of the token.

Imagine the glee of the Statists who laugh out loud at the hapless and utterly stupid public who are braying like donkeys for the fraudulent cash they are inured to being kept in circulation. These poor unfortunate men have no idea of the true nature of the fraud being committed on them, and are so blinded, so deep in the subterranean Platonic fiat delusion that it never occurs to them that they are utterly lost.

Even if cash is never removed from society, the fraudulent fiat and legal tender system will remain intact, forcing people to use bad money and ready for the shears; just like sheep.

This is the true story behind the “War on Cash”. You shouldn't be at all worried about the elimination of cash; it’s a non problem in today’s world with ready, robust and complete solutions, and anyone who tries to stoke up your fear about it, at a minimum, does not understand the problem**.**

The Solution to this Problem Exists

Luckily for you, there is a total solution to the fake “War on Cash”, that is complete, convenient and irrevocable. This solution also solves the meta problem of the nature of money, forever destroying the fiat fraud that has plagued mankind, facilitated war and stolen for generations.

I am of course, talking about Bitcoin.

In the past, people who wanted to stay away from the fiat system and its built in theft could stack silver and store gold coins. This protected them from inflation, but gold and silver are not convenient for every day use; these refuseniks still had to use government fiat and its licensed money multiplying fractional reserve banks to live on a daily basis. On top of that, the silver and gold markets are hopelessly corrupted, gamed and do not in any way reflect the true value of precious metals.

Now with Bitcoin, you can spend your money globally and locally without ever having to touch government fiat, or have your money locked in a bank, using the very same devices the State is going to try to employ to force its fiat fraud onto the public.

Never before has it been possible to send and receive money to and from any person, anywhere in the world without the help of a third party service provider; that is what Bitcoin brings to the table, and it could not have come at a better time.

You can store your money in gold and silver and use Bitcoin to send cash from A to B, and for as long as it lasts, use the paper (now plastic) fiat for paying refusniks. If you arrange your affairs in this way, you will rarely have to dirty your hands with fiat, smell the stink of the inside of a bank, expose your hard earned wealth to the theft of inflation, subject your affairs to default surveillance or find yourself crippled by arbitrary limits. Your affairs will be private, free of theft or arbitrary restrictions, permission-less and subject only to the rules of the market, and nothing else.

That is a situation worth more than money. It is called Liberty. Don’t worry about the fake “War on Cash”. Like Neo from The Matrix you were born into a lie that you can now escape from.

And in the real world where you escape the Matrix, the steak is real.

Steak is real. I eat it. It costs money ↴
