Rothschild enters Crypto-world – “Old-money socialites” in “Modern digital currency?”

May 29, 2018

Rothschild, a 200-year-old banking dynasty, is a British multinational investment banking company that was founded by the Rothschilds family. The financial advisory of Rothschilds is known to serve the Royal family. The company, over time, has made a fortune with their involvement in the government bond market.

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum tweeted:

“ARE “THE ROTHSCHILDS” ACTUALLY REMOTELY AS POWERFUL AND COORDINATED AS THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS SEEM TO BELIEVE, OR ARE THEY JUST A GROUP OF OLD-MONEY SOCIALITES AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF IS OVERHYPED?

HELP ME LEARN AND DECIDE!”

Along with the tweet, he added a Reddit discussion link for his fellow followers to share their opinions.

Vbuterin commented on discussion panel saying:

“IF OLD-MONEY-TYPE HIGH SOCIETY PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN CURRENCIES, GO AHEAD, MORE POWER TO THEM; SEE YOU IN THE MODERATELY-FREE MARKET.”

Quite a few Redditors shared their opinion regarding this,

Selastil, a Redditor commented:

“YOU DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE THREAT THEY POST TO THE ETHEREUM PROJECT. THROUGH THEIR NETWORKS AND LOBBYING GROUPS, THEY WILL CREATE A NEW CURRENCY AND USE THEIR EXISTING NETWORKS TO STRANGLE THE LIFE OUT OF ANY OPPOSITION CURRENCIES. THEY WILL BEGIN PUSHES TO “REGULATE” CRYPTOCURRENCY AND BLOCKCHAIN PROJECTS AND CUT OFF THE ABILITY FOR MONEY TO ENTER AND LEAVE THE ECOSYSTEM BY COORDINATING BANKS TO REFUSE DEALINGS WITH CRYPTO OR CREATE LAWS THAT ATTACK CRYPTO PROJECTS.”

Rothschild is working on their own blockchain and currency as of now. Their coin will mostly refer to as “IMMO”. The production of a private blockchain will empower the Rothschild administration to securely direct inside exchanges and they will be carrying their legacy even in IMMO tokens.

Having noteworthy capital in their ownership, gathered in different nations, sooner or later, as many cryptocurrency influencers believe, the Rothschild most likely will start a revolution in the crypto world.

Billionaire George Soros outlines his plan to save Europe

The Hungarian-born philanthropist has claimed the European Union is in an "existential crisis".

Soros has identified the refugee crisis, Brexit, and the impact of austerity as pressing issues.

The Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros has offered a three-point plan in order to preserve the status of the European Union.

Europe's alliance has been under strain as bigger more powerful countries demand that those with struggling economies rein in their spending to reduce debt. This enforced austerity has led to high unemployment in countries such as Greece and Italy. Added to the mix was a migration spike from the Middle East and Africa into many countries that were already struggling in the wake of the financial crisis.

Speaking at the European Council on Foreign Relations annual council meeting Tuesday, Soros said Europe was in "an existential crisis."

In a speech titled "How to Save Europe," Soros claimed that the bloc's pressing issues can be broken down into the refugee crisis, territorial breakups such as Brexit, and economic struggles brought on by austerity.

The philanthropist said the best place for Europe to begin would be to address the refugee crisis and to remove regulation which dictates the number of refugees that each country should accept.

"Member states should not be forced to accept refugees they don't want and refugees should not be forced to settle in countries where they don't want to go," Soros said.

'Fortress Europe' is unrealistic

Soros wants the EU to protect its external borders but keep them open for lawful migrants. He argued that the idea of a "fortress Europe" was unrealistic.

He sketched out a plan to fund better education and unemployment in Africa at a cost of 30 billion euros ($34.7 billion) a year. He claimed this would stem those seeking refuge. Soros said the crisis is a European Union one and the financing could be arranged through the EU's "largely unused" borrowing capacity.

“You do not want to give Jeff Bezos a seven-year head start.”

Hear what else

Buffett has to say

Borrowing to fund potential solutions to the migrant crisis leads Soros to address the austerity ethos which he described as a "prevailing addiction" among policymakers.

The billionaire investor said geopolitical tensions and the weakening of ties with Washington meant that Europe may be headed toward another economic slowdown. He said a heavy investment in Africa could help mitigate any fresh economic woes and claimed some financial wizardry might reduce debt fears from lenders.

"I want to point out that the proposal contains an ingenious device that would enable the European Union to borrow from the market at a very advantageous rate without incurring a direct obligation for itself or for its member states," he said, according to a transcript of the speech.

Brexit 'immensely damaging'

The last issue is "territorial disintegration" which Soros focused on primarily by using the example of Brexit.

Describing Britain's exit from the European Union as "immensely damaging" and "harmful to both sides," Soros said Brussels must rebrand the EU as an association that countries want to join.

He claimed this could be achieved by accepting that the euro as a currency has many unresolved problems and that the two-tier status of euro zone and non-euro zone countries should end.

Soros said the idea of a "multi-speed Europe" where all countries are moving to further integration should be abandoned and replaced with the idea of a "multi-track Europe" where member states have more choice over their political and economic direction.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian university students in a meeting with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered harsh criticism of the country's direction, local media reported Tuesday, an unusually frank discussion showing the concerns many feel over the Trump administration's pullout from the nuclear deal with Tehran and Iran's battered economy.

One student in particular offered a list of problems confronting Iran and directly asked Khameni, whom hard-liners view as second only to God, how he would respond to them.

While concerns regularly come up during the annual audiences that Khamenei holds during the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan, the fact that these criticisms received publicized attention in Iran's tightly controlled media is telling. Already, farmers and truck drivers have been protesting and on strike in the country.

At Monday's audience with Khamenei, university student Sahar Mehrabi read a speech in which she recounted the "numerous crises" now facing the country.

Among them, she listed Iran's "intensified systematic inequality in social classes, the decline of public trust and the increase in environmental crisis and shantytowns." She also mentioned high unemployment, the challenges faced by minority groups and the way hard-line element's within Iran's judiciary and security system "fabricate security cases in a delusional way" to target activists.

"What answer does Your Excellency have in response to questions, criticisms and protests," she asked.

In his own speech, Khamenei acknowledged many of the shortcomings, saying that "removing problems is not as easy" as the students expect. He said one solution can be the "injecting of revolutionary, motivated and committed young people into the governmental apparatuses."

"Growth of the society requires freedom of expression," Khamenei said.

Khamenei's Twitter account also acknowledged the criticisms.

The pro-reform Mardomsalari daily newspaper published Mehrabi's remarks and other websites also carried her full speech, which included a call for deepening democracy in Iran.

Pakistan picks former chief justice as caretaker premier

Associated Press

May 29, 2018

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s ruling party and the opposition on Monday selected a former chief justice as the country’s caretaker prime minister for an interim two-month period, pending parliamentary elections this summer.

The government of the Pakistan Muslim League party formally ends on Thursday, when the nation’s Parliament will be dissolved ahead of the July 25 balloting. Whoever wins majority in Parliament in that vote will name the next prime minister.

It will be only the third time in Pakistan’s 70-year-long history that a Parliament has finished its five-year term without political upheaval or being dismissal by the military.
