Donald Trump And Iran Are Giving People The Best Lesson In Money: Cryptocurrency To Save The Day!!!
The difference between today and the rest of the time in history is that, at least throughout history slaves knew they were slaves.
People today do not realize they are enslaved. This is especially true in the Western cultures where people actually believe they are free.
Fortunately, the President of the United States and the government of Iran, two entities in opposition, are both showing the world what it means to be a slave. And one of the main weapons the masters use is money.
Sanctions are a tool used by countries (usually the powerful ones) to punish another government when it is misbehaving. The folly in all this is the governments rarely suffer as it is the populous of said countries that endures the ramifications. Of course, this is the goal. The intent is to get the people to rise up and overthrow the government.
The easiest way to do this is to forbid other countries around the world from engaging in commerce with the sanctioned country. This, naturally, causes a host of problems. Companies that export suddenly find their customers gone. Simultaneously, imports that are needed suddenly dry up. This is a problem when said import is something such as food.
This is what we find in Iran.
What is interesting is this situation epitomizes what takes place. The bully (the United States) pushes around the government of another country (Iran). If it stopped here we would be okay. The problem is that it goes a step further with the bullied (the Iranian government) bullying someone else (the people of Iran).
For decades, this particular mechanism worked. However, cryptocurrency is throwing a wrench in the entire process. It is also showing how government, no matter which one you choose, is the problem. The lesson here should to drop the belief system that any aspect of the government is "good" and should be defended. It is one of the main enslaving mechanisms there is.
The U.S. government took action knowing it would negatively impact the Iranian people. It knew that this decision was going to take the Iranian Rial and send it in the toilet. Anyone who has any wealth, faces losing it as the value of the money plummets. This is a common situation which takes a dire situation and makes it worse.
Enter cryptocurrency.
For one of the first time in history, people have a legitimate monetary alternative to the governmental money. While there were always metals, gems, or art, the truth is people are not going to move them around very easily in a time of major upheaval. Also, unless one is physically leaving the country (or able to send something out), this is not a valid option.
in 2018, the people of Iran have a choice and that is called "Bitcoin". Iranians are preserving their wealth by getting it out of the Iranian currency. While the Rial collpases, people are "moving" the wealth out of the nation by using Bitcoin. Of course, we know the money does not really move although they might be transferring it to wallets held by loved ones outside the borders of Iran.
Either way, there is roughly $2.5B the Iranian people protected by using cryptocurrency.
Of course, this upsets the true ruler of Iran, the central bank. Par for the course, the banksters got upsets so they stopped their member banks from dealing in crypto.
In an attempt to halt the outflows, Iran’s central bank banned the country’s lenders from dealing in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, in April.
Sound familiar?
What is very interesting is the government of Iran is in a bind. While it cannot have the Rial collapsing like it is and needs to do whatever it can to stem the tide, it has to protect itself. Remember, all governments require money for power. Without that, they cannot buy the guns or pay the henchmen who act on their behalf.
The Iranian government is facing a squeeze from Trump. Hence, it is looking into cryptocurrency as an alternative way around the sanctions.
If this sounds familiar, it is what Venezuela did in response to the sanctions levied against it.
The future of crypto in Iran may not lie with citizens, but with the government itself. An Iranian minister revealed a state-backed digital currency project for the country’s banking system in February, an experimental model of which was completed in April.

By the way, to get some good information about the control mechanisms used by governments, check out the posts by @zoidsoft. He is writing some really good stuff about how cryptocurrency and blockchain are going to obliterate the establishment's mode of operation.
The monetary system is the mechanism used to enslave all. If you are the top dog, like the United States, you have free reign. The USD is the reserve currency meaning that all international commodity transactions are priced AND occur in USD. Whenever anyone steps outside of that, say like Saddam did, bad things happen. The U.S. is going to do whatever it has to in an effort to prevent losing that status.
Thus far, it is able to fend of China, Russia, and whomever else goes after that title. One of the biggest reasons the USD is most likely safe are the economies and governments of other countries is a bigger mess and more corrupt than the U.S. In other words, the United States is the best of the worst.
We see the power that it wields in this situation. The present monetary system allows countries to enslave other countries. Naturally, the banksters are behind all this but we won't go there in this article.
Iran is the latest to feel this.
I write about the Age of Abundance and here is an example of it forming. Since the present monetary system is not liked by someone (in this case Iran), there is a way around it. The Iranian government is looking to cryptocurrency as a means around the sanctions. Since it is cut off from the international banking system, another way of accessing capital is needed.
The international, global, borderless cryptocurrency market is there waiting to be tapped into.
Here is the really amazing part. Right now it is the Iranian government who has the ability to tell a bigger bully (the U.S. Government). What do you think happens when the Iranian government is the bully and those being bullied tell it to screw off? That potential now exists.
That is the power of cryptocurrency. Under the present monetary system, the biggest bully gets to overpower all those who are weaker in stature. Of course, this means everyone. As we drift down the scale, those who are on the second tier bully those beneath. When we get to those bullied on the third tier, we see them bullying the still weaker.
And so on it goes.
Hence the system of slavery. Unless you are at the top, or at least in one of the few upper tiers, you are cooked. Your ass is theirs and you have no choice. If you do not believe this, then answer this simple question: why do you show up for work each day to a job you cannot stand to work with people you do not like?
If you are like 85% of Americans, you cannot stand your job. Another ironic twist is that 40% believe their job has no meaningful impact whatsoever.
Therefore, considering those circumstances, why do you show up for work? Do free people spend the vast portion of their lives doing something that cannot stand when they do not want to, with people they do not want to be around?
Of course not.
Yet we all do it. Why is that? Because we are slaves and the monetary system ensures we remain there.
When people have money, that gives them the ability to say "no". This is something people who argue against basic income overlook. Having money is freedom because it gives one the ability to say "no". In this example, it is the Iranian government who is getting the ability to say no to someone who is bigger and badder. This needs to expand to all people.
That is why cryptocurrency is an experiment that will not fail. It is giving hundreds of thousands of people, at present, the ability to say no. Lives are being changed by the money that is going into each STEEM account. While it might not be much at this moment, in time I believe it will be. That will give people options they do not have today.
We are never going to see that under the present monetary system. USDs are not going to start flowing into people's accounts. Neither are Euros, Japanese Yen, or British Pounds. For that to happen, those who are keeping humanity enslaved would have to agree to let them go. They are not about to do that.
Cryptocurrency is the next phase of human evolution. I wrote in the past about the transition from 3D to 5D. Cryptocurrency is a 5D idea. It embraces kindness, consideration, and love for our fellow man. With this tool, we can take on many of the world's ills. We are no longer stuck in a scarcity system. Abundance is coming since the new era is unfolding via technology. Blockchain/cryptocurrency is one of the most powerful technologies we have seen because it helps to unleash humanity.
Sadly, most who look at the events unfolding with Iran will not see what I wrote about here. They will stick to their programming believing what the media tells them, or worse, what their ideological-driven beliefs tell them. To defend one bully by attacking another one while overlooking the victim is not sound practice. Yet that is what happens.
The people of Iran are the ones who will have to pay for this. With inflation taking off at an outrageous pace (in the Rial), those who do get a hold of some cryptocurrency are going to be safe. Their wealth is protected. I hope the millions of people in Iran are able to do this.
No matter what happens here, the story of money is being taught. And it is one of slavery.
Fortunately, it is also a story that is being re-written.

Great article, taskmaster! You’ve just articulated what I’ve been saying about cryptocurrency to people far better than I could. I resteemed this as it was far too good of an article not to.
Loved the way you called the United States the best of the worst, and that people in the western world are enslaved, but think they’re free. We don’t have the ability to say no.
It’s all true.
Crypto is the gateway for people to achieve their monetary sovereignty with little to no borders. This is why governments are so hesitant to openly support it while acknowledging the benefits of the technology.
I agree totally. They are faced with the prospect of doing something since their fiat is worthless or embracing crypto which is opening up Pandora's box.
The WW3 started decades ago, even without firing weapons at a global level, countries are in an economic and enslaving war. As you said, countries bully each other, but the biggest problem is innocent people that suffer physically in this "game" played a little bit by all the governments in the world, all of them seek to get richer doesn't matter the cost. That's why crypto disturb them so much.
It´s a sad reality, your map shows how many are enslaved in our current days, it´is not pretty especially in developed countries which are always saying they are superior to others...
good idea for all human! thanks this advice d shared!

have a nice. day...

Great article with so much info and i might have to read it again just to grasp it all. Thx
The us inadvertently made Assange a millionaire. They’ll do the same to all their enemies by forcing them to use bitcoin. Oops!
Where is your post about 5D? sounds fun
