      "body": "Hello,\n\nI have been under the assumption for some time now that the Crypto markets are the only truly free market left on the planet. This would explain why we are seeing their explosive growth this last year or so. This explosive growth, I believe, is simply the hyperinflation most of us have been expecting for a decade or more but in a form we never expected. Or is it?\n\nIf the Crypto Market truly is free than how in the world do virtually all of the top Cryptos crash at the exact same time and then go back up all at the same time? These seemingly coordinated down and then up movements we have seen in the Crypto markets in the last few days has really got me scratching my head. \n\nI'm trying to figure out what mechanism makes them all move together. It seems to me that in order to get all of the top Cryptos to move together, in either direction, it would take either a few people with about 20 or 30 billion, like say a couple of central banks, or 1000s of smaller investors, like most of us here at Steemit, all deciding at the same time to buy or sell.\n\nI could understand 1000s of people deciding to sell all at once on some really bad news but I don't remember any really bad Crypto news on Thursday or earlier in the week. Does anyone on this forum know of any really bad news that would cause a sell off like we just saw yesterday?\n\nIf central banks were rigging the Crypto Markets I would expect them to be causing these markets to do this very thing. They would want to rig the markets to be super volatile to scare people away from getting into them.\n\nIf anyone here has the answer to this question please let me know. \n\nJamie Fagan\[email protected]",

And that is exactly what one must do to get a glimpse of the absolute genius of cryptocurrencies and the evolutionary changes that they will bring to every aspect of the human existence. \n\nIt saddens me to watch friends and acquaintances that refuse to open their minds to the idea of cryptocurrencies. I’m hoping this article may open some of those minds. It only takes a little crack, a small fissure in ones programming in order to change ones perception to begin understanding the incredible future Cryptos have in store for us. \n\nThe most difficult idea that gold and silver investors have with cryptocurrencies is the idea that they are not “backed by anything”. This is absolutely counterintuitive to everything that gold and silver bugs have learned. They can’t seem to grasp the idea that what is a benefit or strength for metals would actually be a danger for cryptocurrencies. \n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQuGvwtpm3FT77ynGoYNs9sn8vKMXPbkFWowWb26iLwZ2/image.png)\n \nThey must understand that this is a massive paradigm shift and is unlike any money system this planet has ever known (at least in the \"history\" that most of us have been taught). To have a currency that is “backed” by something means that whatever that backing (gold/silver/food/tulip bulbs) is can and probably will be confiscated. Even though gold and silver worked quite well for a long time in preventing the bankers from creating more of it out of thin air, eventually in 1933, the very backing that made it beneficial, suddenly became its downfall. As probably most here at Steemit know, FDR confiscated/stole the peoples gold in 1933 and revalued it 3 months later at almost double! Why aren’t people toppling statues of him? Cryptocurrencies have eliminated this possibility of confiscation. What does not exist in physical form cannot be confiscated. \n\nAnother benefit of Cryptos over our current debt based, criminal, fiat, monetary system is that it’s extremely difficult for anyone, including government to even figure out who has cryptocurrencies in the first place. So, even if they did want to confiscate them, they would have a very difficult time figuring out who has them.\n\nAnother premise of the hard metal community that no longer holds true is the idea that gold is a decentralized asset that no one single person or group controls. Perhaps 2 or 3 hundred years ago that may have been true but with the implementation of central banking came the end of the decentralization of gold. Since central banks have the ability to conjure up as much money as they want out of thin air, the first thing they do is buy up most of the gold or as much as they can. This allows them to pretty much set the price of gold at whatever price they want simply by selling into the market if they want lower prices and buying when they want higher prices. Central banking put an end to the free market in gold and silver and for that matter, all of the other markets as well. \n\nThe list of characteristics that make cryptocurrencies so extraordinary is long. As fiat systems around the world start to fall later this year and into 2018, Cryptos will be there to catch them, seemingly just in the nick of time. \n\nCryptocurrencies cannot be counterfeited, printed or created out of thin air like our present day fiat system. Most of them have a set number of units, after which no more can ever be created. \n\nCryptocurrencies by their very nature are decentralized. As mentioned before, there are no centralized controlling authorities. Any kind of control that exists is by consensus only!\n\nCryptocurrencies are the only truly free market left on the planet. Every other market, including, stock, bonds, Foreign Exchange, Commodities Exchange, Interest Rate Swaps, Derivative markets, etc,  are all manipulated by the criminal Central Banking Cartel. \n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQxEzR5GXR3DckPV7r2QUjbCyHv1AmsMdTp6ZcbjAVDom/image.png)\n  \nYou see, it is impossible for these Central Bankers to manipulate Cryptocurrencies to any great extent, because they don’t control them and they can’t print them.\n\nThis unprecedented rise in nominal $ value of cryptocurrencies that is happening now is hyperinflation in action. People are getting out of fiat and into what they perceive to have value. Ten years ago people would have been rushing into gold and silver (they probably still will once fiat loses most of its value and can no longer be used as a means of suppression). \n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSZa1TCnRKSbTZJZCkhjVizBUnq9cpNtsqrZaWYHYEBWe/image.png)\n\nWe are witnessing the creative destruction of the evil empire along with the greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever witnessed. This transfer of wealth, however, is not going to the 1%, it’s going to the average joe computer geeks and libertarians who had the foresight to understand the incredible nature of cryptocurrencies. \n\nCryptocurrencies are a double barreled shotgun blast through the head of the Central Banking Cartel. The Central Bankers are dead, they just don’t realize it yet! The most amazing and incredible thing is that this coup d’etat against this gigantic, monolithic, corrupt, arrogant, criminal Central Banking system is taking place without a shot being fired.\n\nNo doubt our children and our grand children's, grand children will smile upon those who have utilized this seemingly God given technology, at the exact instant in time when it was most needed and used it to take on this criminal banking Cabal and defeat them without a drop of blood being spilled! And make a pile of money to boot!\n \n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNrwkGsra6Lmd2GYuEUgZ71JSHSYfjZf2wsxuCCeNFK1j/image.png)",
