When HSBC and other banks cancel Trump's accounts they are telling all their customers that their money is not safe.
When Big Tech censors The President, they are telling everyone that its is not safe to invest time, energy or money in building followings on their platforms.

People aren't stupid but they are often lazy or too busy to change.

The Purge is a huge forcing function towards alternative financial and speech platforms.

I am not so concerned with how the markets will respond, to get an Idea of market response how did the Venezuelan markets fear after their last election? I see what is taking place here in America could a Venezuela version 2.0. 

I try to not be to involved in the keeping up with the politics, but I can see the Main Stream media trying to distract people with one of their favorite boogieman and that is Nicaragua. It has been mentioned a little bit in MST and growing mentions, this I feel is to distract try and distract from the happening on twitter, FB, YT, AppleStore, Amazon web service and the general shut down of small independent groups and people.

So I have been trying to ignore much of it, there really is nothing that can be done other than to find find alternative choices, and I pretty much have with Hive and media types attached to it like 3speak, and other short and long form media postings. My wife tried to watch Trumps Alamo speech the other day on NTD news and RSBN, and they were both constant buffering, she gave up and watched on a persons YT sight that was live streaming it off her TV from Texas with no problems. 

To much FUD/FOMO and other things just to distract people, so I have been trying to intentionally ignore it all.

Well, I think that *perfect storm scenario* could be the migration from currencies to cryptos. I mean if the strains keep popping, thing keep getting out of hand with politics and turmoil keeps growing as a raging river, the shift could come faster than expected as corporations will take the advantage to secure their positions with cryptos. But that's just more speculation. Fear is the driving force in human behavior and we are still "*in charge*" of some of the things that happen regarding economy. But we shall see. I bet many sites are just trying to scare people out because some corporations just want to amass as many Bitcoins as they can. I would do the same if I could. I mean with those prices ROI looks incredible as an investment. But we shall what happens.

This year promises to be even more crazy than last one.

I would like to make a comment with words and technical terms but the truth is not my style and I do not know much about that subject.

But in particular, I would like to comment on the mistrust that humanity lives before the system and the chaos that it has generated in the last 6 or 8 months.

Which has a large part of the world worried, not only about COVID but also about the economy and that constant barrage of bad and bad news that never seems to end.

If I'm honest with you and I say it from the bottom of my heart, all this is so organized and practically studied to attack society at a level that has created mistrust in ourselves that we are not aware of what It really happens, in my last post I talked about how freedom of expression is like an Atomic Bomb and that if it is used incorrectly it can cause a collective disaster.

The same happens when false information or negative information, such as bad news reaches each of us.

They generate a discomfort that fills us with anxiety and we do not know as a leader with it.

Unfortunately, we see this type of thing more common and we only have to wait for the storm to pass to be able to see the disaster that remained and work on the construction and recovery of this society that is attacked every day from all sides.

I just made a comment in another post about those headlines.  Such a joke.  I think we are going to see a lot of uncertainty for at least the next two months.  I have zero doubts, but as you said the unstable world we live in is going to influence things that we probably haven't even considered yet.

>there may not be the volume

I love such expert statements, from people who have only a superficial understanding of the issue ... Although, he himself is far from sinless:)

2020 - tension 
2021 - ascension

No, time to trust only yourself. Everything has been sped up, the streams have suddenly come together, it's happening now.  

Interesting as always! 

I think that many of the FUD spreaders want to protect their old established systems and riches and so BTC is a real threat to that.

I think I have something like that feeling as I'm currently looking at ionomy again and really not enjoying it xD

Interesting thought, the untrustworthy needing trustless systems..the irony, but quite understandable, when you routinely take advantage of everyone else's trust, you definitely can't trust anyone else

This is a great article! 

> But, I feel that with these various streams, there is a unifying trend that binds them together to create some kind of perfect storm scenario that could very well be the biggest opportunity for crypto adoption ever.

People are looking for "safe" places to put their money because of the fear of inflation. With rising prices in every one of the asset classes including bonds, real estate, stocks, gold, commodities, and even oil--people are finally starting to wonder out loud if every asset is in a bubble? 

Given that this rally was driven by increases liquidity through the central bank and some of it through stimulus packages via congress people are also fearing inflation, so cash is not safe either. "Cash is Trash"

The problem is that people came to Bitcoin later than all of these other assets classes which makes me question if its because they trust Bitcoin the least? Are they coming to Bitcoin because its the only thing left to grab onto or is it that people are trusting Bitcoin because Bitcoin is "trustless". 

In the dollar it says "In God we Trust". There is a picture of an eagle holding onto to arrows in one talon and and olive branches in the other. It implies that the backing of the military and diplomacy of the United States is all in service of the dollar. The counterfeiting of money is actually investigated by the Secret Service. Not the treasury, the IRS, the FBI, or the Federal Reserve Bank. The same people that protect the President of the United States with their lives also serve to protect the "trust" of the money supply.

All of this points to me how fragile the dollar is and how fragile trust is. Maybe we do need a "trustless" currency. Something that is transparent, unhackable, distributed, and decentralized. Something that is not back by "God", military might, diplomacy, or the President's bodyguards.

"In the Algorithm we Trust"
