Bill Bonner: Repeat After Me – Economics Is NOT a Science

"The problem is you don’t know anything. You don’t know if an economy really is like water. You don’t know where sea level is. For all you know, you’re high in the Alps. And you don’t know whether the fuel you’re using adds to the fire… or subtracts from it. QE, for example, may help heat up the economy. Or it may not. No one knows for sure. And get this. All those little molecules, you know – those individuals in the great economic pool? As soon as they catch on to what you’re doing, they will change their behavior. That’s the big difference between water and people. Water does the same thing no matter what you say or what you think. People don’t." Continue reading

Swiss court convicts former IMF official over Czech mining scam

"De Groote, previously an administrator at the International Monetary Fund, was accused of providing a veneer of credibility, with the cash purportedly coming from investors.

Farmers help bitcoin grow organically in Argentina

"Organic farmers in Argentina are finding bitcoin to be a compelling solution when selling their produce through a website called Tierra Buena. The website has been highlighted in a new short film by Jacob Hansen. The film tells the story of how Nubis Bruno (one of the people behind the exchange site, Conectabitcoin) helped local farmers by creating the website as a means to sell their produce online in exchange for bitcoin or litecoin (and Pesos). The existence of Tierra Buena doesn’t signal a pending economic revolution in Argentina, or anywhere else. However, it is a great anecdote of how digital currencies can be genuinely helpful."

Bitcoin helps Iranian shoe store overcome international trade sanctions

"The business is Persian Shoes, an over 70-year-old business selling handmade footwear. It is located inIsfahan, the third-largest city in Iran. The owners are happy to ship anywhere, but paying them is a problem. The usual e-commerce channels are blocked. Trade sanctions against the entire country of Iran by the United Nations, United States, European Union and others mean Western Union and major credit card companies will not deal with Iranian businesses, even those in the fashion world. The only way to pay someone in Iran is with cash carried in your pocket – or some easily transferrable, mostly unregulated, digital currency." Continue reading

Will Americans really allow the criminal cabal in DC, to give amnesty to criminals? (Birds of a feather flock together!)

Our sincerest thanks to Laura for this. This is exactly what needs to be done. I had called for such a movement a few months ago and sent an email to major anti-invasion activists urging them to focus on this issue (either they were paying attention or this is a coincidence). Let’s keep this ball […]
