“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows” ~Bob Dylan

Basel, Switzerland is the home of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) – the central bank of central banks.
Yesterday afternoon, I bought a train ticket in Basel. I was standing at a ticket machine for Swiss Federal Railways (SBB).
One of my payment options was Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrencies are not a grassroots phenomenon. Mr. Global wants out of sovereign deposit insurance (bailout problems solved!) and complete digital transparency – for Mr. Global.
The amount of money available to pump cryptocurrencies – especially while the market capitalization is tiny relative to other currency and financial markets – is near infinite. But you can’t print Bitcoin, you say. Yes, but you can print and steal trillions of dollars with which to pump it.
You and I are financing the prototype. So see the state of play, assess the opportunities, beware the traps and appreciate the end game.
