Here comes the pain may also reference the pain of the citizens. The price we all have to pay for allowing corrupt /evil people to hold office for decades, aka consequences for our countries actions. It was probably rigged, but that doesn't change where we are. The monetary system is perverted in nature, a banana with a hand grenade could easily devise a better system. Hopefully we will revert back to the gold/silver standard and revalue higher until our debt is canceled. Then issue sperate Treasury 100% gold & 100% silver redeemable federal blockchains. It will require being responsible and manufacturing again.
However, you can put yourself on a gold or silver standard (metal is metal so will be liquid with any gold standard country) and avoid any government/bank 3rd party risk. Join an honest monetary system. Kinesis is the best option in my opinion (I have no affiliation, but plan on using it myself). They have several currencies coming out. They are 100% redeemable physically vaulted silver and gold that is accounted for and transacted via blockchain. Kick ass team including Tom Coughlin and Andrew Maguire (whistleblower from JP Morgan London metals trading that exposed the silver price manipulation & long time metals expert). Silver manipulation is the Achilles heel of the banking cabal.
Starve the beast (Rothschild banking system) while joining a moral monetary system. I would recommend going heavy silver vs gold until the silver:gold ratio is closer to 20 to 1 (mining ration is about 10:1 and historical was about 16:1…it is currently 79:1). Privately vault (outside the banking system) some metals locally that you can withdraw at will. However for the money you need to spend for everyday life, kinesis allows you to use a debit card that instantly converts metals in the vault to the local currency. (As a business man, you can spend money anywhere when traveling.) Gold and silver are money…put some in the vault. Metals accounted via blockchain correctly is the best type of currency (currency that directly represents money but can be transacted efficiently in our digital and global world).
