Dark money: only 35 Bitcoin dealers are compliant with US law
"In the US, the virtual currency is subject to money transmitter laws at the federal level and in 47 states. The rules are not always clear, however, because they are written for money transmission services, not virtual currencies. The regulations are also in flux. New York is considering a special 'BitLicense' for virtual currency firms, for example. As a result, many Bitcoin companies have not registered at either the state or federal level. Only 35 Bitcoin companies have registered with FinCEN, the bureau of the US Treasury Department that has taken the lead on Bitcoin regulation, and the agency has reached out to several dozen more that it believes need to register."

G. Edward Griffin on Globalism, Collectivism and the ‘Right Principles’
"I think the most important thing we can do today is to recognize that our opponents are not evil because of their political party affiliation. They're not our opponents because they're evil or because they have this, that or the other thing. It's because they have an ideal, a philosophy that they're following. People mistakenly often just attack them because of the party labels – 'Get rid of him. He's a Democrat!' or 'He's a Republican. Get rid of him!' Who's going to replace him? Somebody just exactly the same, with the same mindset. So it does no good to focus on personalities and names. We have to rise above that and focus on the ideas these individuals are pursuing."

The Biggest Interest-Rate Turn in 37 Years
"We witnessed the power of bond market vigilantes in 1980, at a time when most of them were in the United States. Now it’s much worse because so many are overseas. We witnessed their power again in 1994, at a time when there was virtually no inflation scare. Now, it’s worse because all the Fed’s money printing is spooking investors about future inflation. We also saw their power repeatedly in 2011 and 2012, when they dumped the bonds of Greece, Spain and Italy. Now it’s worse because, unlike the situation in Europe, there’s no country or union in the world big enough to bail out America. In one sense, nothing has changed since Carter’s day of reckoning on April 15, 1980." Continue reading →
Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve (2013)
"Nearly 100 years after its creation, the power of the U.S. Federal Reserve has never been greater. Markets and governments around the world hold their breath in anticipation of the Fed Chairman's every word. Yet the average person knows very little about the most powerful - and least understood - financial institution on earth. Money For Nothing is the first film to take viewers inside the Fed and reveal the impact of Fed policies - past, present, and future - on our lives. Join current and former Fed officials as they debate the critics, and each other, about the decisions that helped lead the global financial system to the brink of collapse in 2008. And why we might be headed there again." Continue reading →
It’s Hard to Summon Sympathy for Big Banks
"It may not be easy to be sympathetic to the big banks, but it is easy to understand their surprise and frustration. They have gone from being viewed as national champions — proof of a country’s standing in the world — to being seen as a potential source of national disaster. Iceland and Ireland went broke because they had to, or chose to, bail out their irresponsible banks. Eric H. Holder Jr., the attorney general, did not help when he said last spring that the Justice Department had to keep in mind that filing criminal charges against a large bank could 'have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.' He quickly backtracked, but the perception was reinforced." Continue reading →
How the Paper Money Experiment Will End
"We are now in a situation that looks like a dead end for the paper money system. After the last cycle, governments have bailed out malinvestments in the private sector and boosted their public welfare spending. Deficits and debts skyrocketed. Central banks printed money to buy public debts (or accept them as collateral in loans to the banking system) in unprecedented amounts. Will money printing be a constant with interest rates close to zero until people lose their confidence in the paper currencies? Can the paper money system be maintained or will we necessarily get a hyperinflation sooner or later? There are at least seven possibilities." Continue reading →
New Barbados currency ‘more secure’ [May 2013]
"Producers of fake Barbados money should not be smiling all the way to the bank anytime soon. On the heels of what it said was 'an increase in counterfeit activity in 2012', the Central Bank of Barbados has unveiled the island’s first new banknotes in 40 years. Central Bank of Barbados officials and representatives from British-based currency printer De La Rue officially introduced the new notes this morning at the Grande Salle, Tom Adams Financial Centre, saying they carried advanced security features within a modern design that was in the making for the last three years."

Barbados PM: Central bank ‘indulgence’ a threat to economic stability
"Former Barbados prime minister Owen Arthur said that the Central Bank had printed BDS$370 million to purchase Government Treasury Bills, which had caused the country’s foreign exchange reserves to plunge. 'The printing of money on this scale to accommodate government’s fiscal deficit is the chief factor that has triggered the dramatic plunge downward in the country’s foreign exchange reserves. If this plunge downward is not immediately checked, the economic affairs of Barbados will enter a new and very dangerous territory,' he warned, reminding of the economic and social problems of Guyana and Jamaica as a result of excessive increases in money supply and inflation."
