Emails To President Of TURKIYE

Emails To President Of TURKIYE (POTUR):


201808153:

First of all, I personally think you have done really great service to Turkey and Turkish People, so far at least.
And I really hope you continue to do so, as long as possible.

I just wanted to share some personal opinions/views of mine, about recent events/situations involving Turkey, if you are interested of course:

IMHO, Turkey and USA have a really great deal opportunity currently.
It seems to me, USA really wants their Rahip back.
It seems to me, Turkey really wants their Imam back.
And, if really so, then why not Turkey and USA try to sign a "prisoner exchange" kind/type of deal/agreement?
A simple deal/agreement such as:
Turkey, would give USA, The Rahip, who USA wants.
USA, would give Turkey, The Imam, who Turkey wants.

Also, I think world history is full of great examples/lessons to consider.
For example, IMHO, what happened between Sultan/Padisah Yildirim Bayezid and Timur Han, is really a big lesson about,
why big countries/powers of the world (especially allies), should/must try to make prisoner exchange deals first,
instead of allowing prisoner exchange issues escalate to any kind of war.

Also, IMHO, Turkey is really in an economic war/crisis, but who I think really responsible for it, is most likely people like George Soros.
(So I would humbly advise you to learn about how international/global speculators like Soros make money from each country they target/hit each time.)

Ak Parti'nin, Istanbul ve Ankara gibi buyuk sehirlerde,
sayisiz buyuk hizmetler yaptigi ve sayisiz buyuk hizmetler vadettigi halde, neden oy oranlarinin buyuk olcude artmadiginin sebeplerini arastiriyorsaniz, bu goruslerimi ilginc bulabilirsiniz:

1) Belediyelerin ekmek fiyatlarini dogrudan belirlemesi,
serbest piyasa ilkelerine uymayan adaletsiz bir uygulama olamaz mi?
Mesela, bir belediye yonetimi istese ("halktan daha cok oy aliriz" dusuncesiyle) ekmek fiyatini asiri dusuk tutamaz mi?
Ve o zaman, halktan gecimini ekmek firinlarindan kazanan, sayisiz insan ve aileleri cok zor duruma dusemez mi?

2) Belediyelerin sebze ve meyveyi dogrudan ureticilerden aracisiz alip halka satmasi,
serbest piyasa ilkelerine uymayan adaletsiz bir uygulama olamaz mi?
Ve o zaman, halktan gecimini toptancidan meyve ve sebze alip perakende satarak kazanan (pazarci, manav,...),
sayisiz insan ve aileleri cok zor duruma dusemez mi?
 
Ben, ayrica, bu konuda Islam ne der diye merak edip Internet'ten arastirdim,
ve bu asagidaki makaleyi buldum (ayni makale iki ayri sitede yayinlanmis gorunuyor).
Ozellikle ilk 3 paragraph ilginc:

https://tashih.com.tr/bir-kriz-degerlendirmesi-medinede-pahalilik/
http://iktibasdergisi.com/2018/10/16/medinede-pahalilik-turkiyede-kriz-karye-ashabi/

(Tabii siz, ilginc bulduysaniz, daha iyisi, bu konuyu ulkemizin en iyi Islam fikih uzmanlarina danisabilirsiniz.)


201912216:

IMHO, Kanal Istanbul Project seems like really an exceptionally large & important project for Istanbul.
A project that is much larger & much more important than any new airport or bridge or tunnel etc.
(And it also seems like there are many people who strongly oppose it.)
My humble advice is, such an exceptionally large & important project for Istanbul,
should/must be done only after doing a public referendum in Istanbul
and getting/proving approval/support of majority of people of Istanbul.


202001186:

Every year many people/families die from fires & gas leaks in Turkey!
Why not, Turkish government, ask TUBITAK &/ ASELSAN etc,
to design/produce a detector/sensor device
that can detect all smoke & CO & CO2 & LPG & natural gas leaks
& make a law that makes having that device at all homes mandatory?


202008064:

Economy of Turkey seems to be going into crisis, again & again, since maybe early 90s!
& I think it is happening again & again, because nobody in Turkey seems to be understanding,
what is the real cause of problem & what is the real solution!

There is a well-known trick/scheme, often used for making money from stocks, that is called PUMP & DUMP!
Imagine that, (if you have enough money for it) you keep buying the same stock & raise its price!
Then, other investors see rise of the price & rush to buy too!
& then, you sell all your stock & make lots of money!

Now imagine that, you are someone like George Soros & have billions of dollars to invest!
Imagine, you target any country w/ a small stock exchange (like Turkey, for example)!
Imagine, you do PUMP & DUMP to the whole stock exchange!
You keep buying all stocks for years & then you sell them all, within months etc!
& next, you convert all your money to dollars & euros & move it outside the country!

& of course, when the country loses all its dollars & euros, then, its economy goes into crisis!

& then, you just wait (for many years) until that country collects lots of dollars & euros for you, to take again, next time!

My advice is, get some research done, to find a way to prevent foreign investment funds, from keep doing PUMP & DUMP, in Turkey!
(& if there is no other way found, then, seriously consider completely banning foreign investment funds, in Turkish Stock Exchange!)


202008086:

It seems that our country/people are keep getting hit by huge scams, from time to time,
& often nobody realizes what they really are, until already too late!

For example:

"Bankerler Furyasi", back in early 80s, was really a well-known type of scam, that is called "Ponzi Scheme"!
(Which I think was first started by Banker Kastelli & imitated/copied by many other "bankers" later.)

"Titancilar", back in late 90s, was really another well-known type of scam, that is called "Pyramid Scheme"!

"Ciftlikbank", few years ago, was also a "Ponzi Scheme"!

IMHO, there is another huge scam going on, for many years, in whole world (NOT just in Turkey):
BITCOIN (& countless other so-called "CRYPTOCURRENCIES" imitating/copying it)!

IMHO, ALL CRYPTOCURRENCIES need to be banned (in whole world) before it is too late!

Here I tried to explain it (why), in more/full detail, at my personal blog:
http://fb36blog.blogspot.com/2018/01/bitcoin-scam.html


202105016:

IMHO, we need to see the reality that keep trying to make Northern Cyprus a fully independent country always failed (& will always fail)!

(& the reality of impossibility of Northern & Southern Cyprus joining together (as a federation) seems to be well understood already, by Turkey & Northern Cyprus!)

& so, IMHO, there is only one realistic solution for the Cyprus problem & that is Northern Cyprus joining Turkey as an internally independent state!

(& that is actually the current situation already, if you think about it!
It just needs to be made official (thru a public referendum in Northern Cyprus)!)

(Also realize many EU countries already have their own internally independent regions!
USA is already completely made of internally independent states!
Not to mention, Russia & China also have internally independent regions! (& I think UK too!))

& so IMHO, Turkey & Northern Cyprus need to stop wasting time by keep trying to get approval to make Northern Cyprus a fully independent country
& start preparing to make a referendum in Northern Cyprus!
(Could Hatay ever really join Turkey, if Turkey tried to get approval from EU, for example?)


202105112:

IMHO, endless problems between Israel & Palestine is really bad for whole (islamic) world!

But, is it really realistic to expect that Israel would ever agree to going back to 1967 borders?

Is it really hard to see that, Israel is keep taking over more & more land & sooner or later would have whole land of Palestine?

Would you agree that, what is really needed for a really good solution is a WIN-WIN deal for both sides?

How about looking at the problem in a different way?:

Imagine a poor farmer who has a rich neighbor & that rich neighbor really wants the land of the poor farmer!
(Many years ago I had read somewhere that Israelians are offering to pay 10 times more money to buy land of any Palestinians!)
Now imagine a deal for, Israel buying whole land of Palestine (assuming 1967 borders) for a really good amount of money!
& how about giving land to Palestinians in Northern Syria to start building their new country (using the money they got)?

(& what if, part of the agreement is, land of Mescid-i Aksa would become commonly-shared holy land between all Jews & Christians & Muslims
& has to be kept open to all (especially in their holy days/nights)?)


202107117:

IMHO, current land/map situation between Azerbaijan & Armenia is still not really/fully good!
Because, Southern land of Armenia is dividing land of Azerbaijan into two separate pieces/parts!
Why not try to think of a win-win deal for both countries to improve the situation for both?
For example, what if, Armenia gives the whole land between Nakhchivan & Azerbaijan mainland to Azerbaijan
& in return, Azerbaijan gives an equal amount/area of its Northern land in to Armenia?
(Could it be possible, if Azerbaijan gives the land as a corridor all along its Northern border,
such that Armenia would have a direct connection to Caspian Sea (to greatly improve its international trade power/capability)?)


202108301:

Realize that COVID-19 pandemic started soon after USA had started economic war against China!
Realize that it had started in the Chinese city that has coronavirus research lab of China!
Realize that it did not cause any significant harm to China (like they knew it is coming & well prepared for it) but caused massive economic damage to USA & ALL its allies!
(Realize that, China just locked-down city of Wuhan & the coronavirus was pretty much contained for them, while the disease was keep expanding all over the world!
Why not the disease was everywhere in China first (& pretty much impossible to contain for them!)?)
Realize that China strongly prevented (WHO) research for the origin of the coronavirus!
Realize that giving the enemy a disease/sickness to weaken the enemy is actually a wellknown old war tactic/trick!

Also, if you want to continue criticizing Arabic countries for making peace & starting trade w/ Israel,
first consider how Turkey apparently/clearly sees China as a friend/ally & happily keep doing trade w/ China (who treats Uighur Turks/Muslims very badly)!
(If you really think China is a friend/ally of Turkey, how about you publicly criticize China for their bad treatment of Uighur Turks/Muslims & see how China would respond?)

Also, how about taking lesson from history?
Consider how China had defeated Hun Empire by pretending to be friend/ally first & manipulating them (by using Chinese Princesses) to start a civil war later!

(Also consider that Chinese people are always treating all kinds of (wild) animals extremely badly!
I had read somewhere that Chinese people have a saying that "more pain makes animal meat more delicious"!
(They also think, "if it moves you can eat it" & "animals are for people"!))

I had read some news that China put some African countries into large debt & later took over their seaports etc!
My guess is, if China wins economic war against USA, same type of "loan sharking" will happen to pretty much all other countries, sooner or later!

Also notice that China recently replaced their one-child policy w/ three children policy!
Do you really think that it is because their population is not high enough (or could it actually be that they are aiming/preparing for global domination in the future!)?

COVID-19 pandemic caused trillions of damage & millions of deaths to all countries (except China!)
& IMHO, China strongly preventing research for the origin of the coronavirus alone by itself is very clear reason showing/proving China is guilty!
& so IMHO, China owes to pay compensation to all other countries in the world!
But IMHO, it is also very clear that China would never admit guilt/responsibility, regardless of even if any kind of perfect evidence is found/presented!
& neither (IMHO), China would ever agree to pay any compensation to any country!
But IMHO, that still does not mean China cannot be made to pay compensation to all other counties!
How?
Imagine, for example, if ALL countries those want compensation from China, sent a very short & clear message to China as such:
"Dear China (Government):
Our country (government) think that, you are clearly guilty & responsible for all COVID-19 losses/damages all countries endured!
But, since you would never admit guilt/responsibility (& neither voluntarily pay compensation), we will go ahead & assume, all our current debt to China already paid in full (as compensation)!
Thanx!"

PS:
I was noticing for many years that ALL Turkish mass media is always thinking "USA is our enemy & China is our friend!"!
(I do not use social media but I have no doubt it is the same situation in there too!)
Chinese government is wellknown to do social media manipulation internally!
Could be they are also doing social media manipulation externally, against USA & all its allies?
Maybe even not just for making people think "China is our friend!" but also they maybe always keep pumping/increasing internal political polarizations (to weaken governments & keep pushing those countries towards political instability (& maybe even civil war someday))?
Just some food for thought!


202109186:

Turkey was keep trying to join European Union (EU), almost since its beginning times, w/o success!
I think it is well about time for Turkey to understand that it will never happen!
Let's not forget that "olmayacak duaya amin denmez"!
Why?
Because, EU is really a "Christian Club"!!
Do you seriously think that, most Christian people of EU would really like/accept a big Muslim country to join EU?
Can't you also see that how much of anti-Islamic views exist, throughout all EU countries?
(Don't you think that a lot of people in Turkey would be really angry, if Turkey accepted all people of Afghanistan, for example?)

(Also consider historical examples like, how a muslim country in Europe (Spain) was rejected & ended or how (most) Ottoman existence in Europe was rejected & ended!
& also consider how a Christian/European country in The Middle-East was rejected & ended by the Muslims!
& also consider how a Jewish country in The Middle-East is disliked by so many Muslims today!)

Isn't it really clear that EU never says no to Turkey because they can keep asking Turkey to do whatever they want?

Also, I think, total win/lose situation for Turkey's trade union (gumruk birligi) w/ EU needs to be well analyzed/checked/verified!
Because, remember that trade union (capitulations) Ottoman Empire done w/ EU had caused huge losses for the economy of Ottoman Empire!

IMHO, instead of keep trying to join EU, Turkey should/must take success (& history) of EU as an example
& should/must start working on creating its own (tight) union w/ other Turkish Republics, in 21st Century!

PS:
I think economy of Turkey is currently winning big, mainly because of USA & EU shifting from importing goods from China to Turkey!
But, it also seems China is well aware of the danger to its own economy & trying to do its exports to USA & EU from Turkey!
(I am keep reading China is keep buying companies & opening factories in Turkey!)
I think Turkey should/must NOT allow that to continue!
Because, I think, otherwise, USA & EU would see what is going on, sooner or later & start trying to get imports from other countries, instead of Turkey!
Just some food for thought!


202110063:

There are many known claims of Noah's Ark being located on top of Mount Ararat (Agri Dagi), probably since ancient times!
& today, there is a technology/device called "Ground-penetrating Radar" which can show deep underground/under-ice structures!
(It is actually commonly used for archaeology, all-around the world!)
Why not Turkey create a big team of scientists & mountaineers etc & fully survey the top of the mountain?
(Instead of leaving such research attempts to foreign researchers/teams!)
I have no doubt that such a big attempt would make big news all-around the world (regardless of its result(s)) (which would be great for tourism of Turkey)!


202201215:

IMHO, the right solution for the problem between Russia & Ukraine is NOT:
1: Ukraine is joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Russia)!
2: Ukraine is NOT joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Ukraine & NATO)!
& it is really/actually:
3: Ukraine & Russia both together joining/accepted into NATO!

IMHO, greatly beneficial WIN-WIN relations between Russia & Turkey is already a very clear evidence/proof that Russia & countries of NATO can be friends!!!


202204177:

I am sorry but, IMHO, what Turkey is keep doing for solving the problem between Russia & Ukraine is NOT good enough!
(Which is just keep telling to Putin & Zelensky: "If you want to come together for peace talks we are ready to host!")
IMHO, if you really want to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize then first you need to tell to Putin & Zelensky this:
"The war between you two has gone long enough already & it urgently needs to stop!
There is already truly massive damage to both Russia & Ukraine & the rest of the world economy!
Let's all 3 of us come together for a face-to-face meeting ASAP!"


202207122:

I think Russia & Ukraine are culturally & historically very close/similar countries (kind of like USA & UK or Turkiye & Azerbaijan)!
& Ukraine clearly has a lot of support for joining NATO & EU & I think that is also the best possible WIN-WIN future for Ukraine!
I also think that, if Ukraine joining NATO & EU is OK for them then there can be no reason why Russia cannot also join them someday!
& I think that is also the best possible WIN-WIN future for Russia (instead of staying alone or partnering w/ China)!
But, obviously, the war continuing between Russia & Ukraine is keep damaging/weakening the possibility of such a great future for Russia!
& so, Russia/Putin needs to understand that the war needs to be ended ASAP!!


202208217:

Once, cevabi cok onemli olan bir soru:
Ak-Partili bir hukumet/belediye yonetimi, ulkeye/ile ne kadar cok/buyuk hizmetler yapmis (ve yapacak) olsada,
egerki ayni yonetim senin/ailenin/akrabanin/dostunun ekmek parasina buyuk zarar veren bir is yapiyor (ve yeniden secilirse yapmaya devam edecek) olsa,
sen/ailen/akraban/dostun hala gidipde Ak-Partili yonetime oy verir miydi?

Bence, Ak-Partili belediyeler Istanbul ve Ankara'ya sayisiz/buyuk hizmetler yaptiklari (ve yapacaklari) halde belediye secimlerini kaybettiler,
cunku onlarin baslattigi/surdurdugu "Meyve-Sebze Tanzim Satis" dukkanlari,
meyve-sebze alim-satimi yapan sayisiz insanin/ailenin ekmek parasina devamli ve buyuk darbe indiriyordu!

Bugunlerde Turkce gazete haberlerinde/yorumlarinda okudum/okuyorum-ki,
Ak-Partili ulusal hukumet, ulkenin heryerine "Tarim-Kredi Marketleri" acip/yayginlastirip sayisiz (temel) gidayi ucuza/karsiz satacakmis!
Bence, boyle bir is/uygulama, butun pazar/market/bakkal isleriyle gecinen sayisiz insanin/ailenin ekmek parasina devamli ve buyuk darbe indirir ve Ak Partiye 2023 secimlerini kaybettirir!

Emails To President Of USA

Emails To President Of USA (POTUS):


202105182:

IMHO, the main reason, COVID-19 response of USA was less than the best, was because, first & foremost, USA do not have universal health care system!
(So, so many people avoided seeking treatment, because of fear of huge hospital bills later!)
Healthcare is a very basic human need/right & superpower of the world USA not providing universal healthcare, while so many other countries do,
should/must be seen as a huge embarrassment!
I would strongly advise that switching USA to universal healthcare needs to be one of main goals of your administration (as well as Democratic Party's)!


202105193:

IMHO, just like prohibition of alcohol (which is really just another kind of recreational drug) had caused so much crime in the past
(& that is why it was repealed many years later), prohibition of many similar drugs are causing so much crime today!
We need to take lesson from history!

Also, how it is really fair that alcohol easily causes overdose deaths & it is legal,
but so many overdose-safe drugs (like marijuana/cannabis/THC, Psilocybin (magic mushroom), LSD, DMT, etc) are illegal?

(Not to mention, (according to countless medical research) drugs like THC, Psilocybin, LSD, DMT seem to be extremely promising for pain management, (major) depression & PTSD!)

I would strongly advise that "war on drugs" needs to end (by making all overdose-safe drugs legal (as alcohol))!!!


202105204:

IMHO:

Bitcoin & all other cryptocurrencies are either absolutely useless or absolutely unnecessary for any legitimate purposes
but they are extremely useful for many illegitimate purposes, like money laundering, illegal (drug) trade, collecting untraceable ransomware payments!
I see that they are now actually mostly promoted as "virtual assets" (investments)!
The question is, why we need fake investments, when we have plenty of real investments?
What would happen to whole world economy, if everybody invested in fake investments, instead of real investments?
Also, is it really a good idea to (essentially) allow anybody "print" their own money/stocks, out of thin air?

Also, why creator of Bitcoin (the first cryptocurrency, which is all other cryptocurrencies created by copying/imitating), who is called "Satoshi",
took first 1 million bitcoins & disappeared to hiding (instead of proudly showing himself to whole world; if Bitcoin is really a great financial innovation)?
Realize that it means government law enforcement cannot go after him!
Also realize the huge danger that, as soon as he sells his bitcoins, everybody would rush to sell all their bitcoin/cryptocurrency!
Meaning, prices/markets of bitcoin & all other cryptocurrencies would suddenly collapse & there would be millions of people who suddenly lost all their money, all over the world!

Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is just a new kind of scam (just like Ponzi Scheme or Pyramid Scheme invented in the past)!

I had explained these in more detail at my personal blog here:
http://fb36blog.blogspot.com/2018/01/bitcoin-scam.html

Of course, it would be quite problematic to try to suddenly ban all cryptocurrencies
but I would strongly advise that USA should/must take steps to reduce/discourage usage of them & investment in them (just like many other countries already did)!


202105215:

IMHO:

All light/gasoline vehicles are seem to be well on their way to become fully electric!
But, what about all existing heavy diesel trucks, trains, ships, aircraft, construction/mining/agriculture/military vehicles?
That is why, USA (& all other countries) should/must start large scale production of biodiesel/biofuel (to make them all carbon-neutral)!
& such biodiesel/biofuel need to be produced by using all possible industrial/agricultural/forestry waste/biomass & trash & sewage!
(& definitely by NOT using any food crops!)
(Of course, accomplishing these goals (efficiently) also would require some R&D work first!)

What about using hydrogen gas for transportation or energy storage (as some people are keep suggesting/promoting)?:
Hydrogen gas is extremely dangerous, because it is flammable & even explosive!
Imagine, a future world w/ hydrogen (land/sea/air) vehicles & hydrogen tanker trucks & hydrogen gas stations, everywhere!
Are we seriously thinking that, there will be never any accidents/leaks/ruptures/mishandling to trigger massive explosions?
Using hydrogen gas for energy storage would be also similarly very dangerous!
For energy storage, we already have way safer battery solutions for every scale!


202106277:

COVID-19 pandemic caused hundreds of trillions of dollars of damage to whole world economy (except China!) & millions of deaths!
IMHO, China is clearly guilty & needs/owes to pay compensation to the rest of the world!

Why China is clearly guilty?:
Regardless of whether the virus is intentionally created/released by China (or it escaped from their lab thru neglect),
China clearly prevented WHO experts from full access which clearly implies guilt!
(Are we seriously supposed to believe that they prevented full access just because of trying to protect their "truly superior & extremely valuable" science/tech?)
But even more than that, it is very clear that (as many scientific studies indicate!), the pandemic had started much earlier than when Chinese Government informed the world & they knew about it much earlier!
& that meant, all other countries did not really have any chance to stop/slowdown the pandemic within their borders!
China is already very clearly guilty, because of informing rest the world about COVID-19 TOO LATE!

& here is what I would like to propose as COVID-19 compensation problem solution:
Cancel all debts all countries owe to China!
I strongly recommend that, USA should/must refuse to pay any debts to China & encourage all countries owe money to China to do the same!


202108242:

I think, being a member of EU is clearly a massive benefit for each member country, in so many ways!
(But, I also think, BREXIT was actually absolutely the right decision for UK!)
What I would like to strongly recommend is that, USA & UK & Canada & Australia & NZ start working towards creating their own (tight) union in 21st Century!
I think it should be actually really easy to see that such a union would bring truly massive benefits, to all these five countries (economically & militarily & demographically & culturally ...)!
(& for how to start, I think how EU started could be a good example!)


202110052:

1: IMHO, politicians of both Democratic Party & Republican Party need to understand/reminded well that, their national shares of votes are almost always really close!
Meaning, neither party can ever do/accomplish really much w/o support of the other party!
& so, the practice of representatives of each party always voting against new laws of each other (& even always keep trying to impeach each other's President!) really needs to end!
Otherwise, nothing much for the country would ever get done & sooner or later, majority of American public would start thinking that actually both parties are really useless/worthless!
(Not to mention, these are times of really great (internal & external) challenges for USA!!!)

2: IMHO, USA & UK & Australia & Canada & NZ really should/must start working towards creating their own tight union (like EU!) in 21st Century (for so many great benefits)!
& IMHO, a great first/big step would be removing ALL visa requirements/limits between these 5 countries!

3: IMHO, USA & Russia really need to start seeing each other as their future best friends/allies (for so many great benefits to both countries!)!
& so, for example, USA should/must see, its NATO ally Turkey having increasingly great (military/tech/trade/tourism) relations w/ Russia, as a great example of (much-needed!) bridge/friendship building!
(For example, I had seen a global public survey (not long ago) that was showing, number one country Russian public would like to go, if possible, was USA!
I had read that TV show "Dallas" was cited (by the Soviet Premiere) as one of the big reasons for the collapse of Soviet Union! :-)


202110236:

1: IMHO, the economic/trade war between USA & China is absolutely justified & should/must continue until won!

2: IMHO, USA (& UK) should/must NOT get involved w/ issues between China & Taiwan (or China & HK)!
(I would advise Taiwan & HK to do referendums, to see what their majority public really want about fully joining China!
(& so then later, China would look bad, in front of the whole world, if they disrespect the decision of the majority public!))
(By the way, IMHO, USA promising to always protect Taiwan (Taiwan Relations Act) was really a bad decision that should/must be ignored/nullified!)


202112072:

IMHO, what would be the best is, not just Ukraine joining NATO but Russia too!
(So, if Russia does not like Ukraine joining NATO alone, then how about asking them to join NATO together?)
Because, Russia being on the side of USA/NATO would be extremely beneficial against China!
(Not to mention, there would/could be many other huge win-win benefits for both USA & Russia!)


202112083:

Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is either absolutely useless or absolutely unnecessary for any legitimate purpose but extremely useful for many illegitimate purposes, like money laundering, illegal (drug) trade, collecting untraceable ransomware payments!
Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is just a new kind of scam (just like Ponzi Scheme or Pyramid Scheme invented in the past)! It is not the first time that so many smart & educated people fell for a really clever scam!
Bitcoin/cryptocurrency is such a threat that they could eventually cause collapse of whole world financial system!
& as global investment in them is keep increasing (exponentially!), banning/stopping them would become impossible, sooner or later!
It seems only very few people can see them being scam & their massive danger (like Nouriel Roubini & Warren Buffett & Bill Gates & Charlie Munger etc)!
USA should/must ban bitcoin/cryptocurrency, just like China & India etc; before it is too late!
Please read what I had written (in more detail) very carefully:
http://fb36blog.blogspot.com/2018/01/bitcoin-scam.html


202201204:

It seems to me, USA desperately needs many new large infrastructure projects but some laws like "National Environmental Policy Act" preventing (or extremely slowing down) them!
For example, Los Angeles have a truly massive traffic problem but nobody can solve it (for example by building extensive subway/tunnel network(s))!
Why? For example, years ago Elon Musk's company had started boring a tunnel but the project got derailed/cancelled (after it started)!
Why? Because a group of residents sued asking/forcing for an environmental study which would take many years!
I think all really/actually because of laws like "National Environmental Policy Act"!
I think any (federal) laws enabling anybody easily derailing any new large infrastructure projects need to be fixed or cancelled!


202201263:

IMHO, the right solution for the problem between Russia & Ukraine is NOT:
1: Ukraine is joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Russia)!
2: Ukraine is NOT joining/accepted into NATO (because it would be a big problem for Ukraine & NATO)!
& it is really/actually:
3: Ukraine & Russia both together joining/accepted into NATO!
IMHO, greatly beneficial WIN-WIN relations between Russia & Turkey is already a very clear evidence/proof that Russia & countries of NATO can be friends!!!


202202071:

1: I think China is relentlessly keep trying to increase amount of their gold!
& w/ really good reason because having more gold means having more economic weight/power/trust!
But, on the other hand, it seems amount of gold of USA is keep staying constant!
IMHO, it is extremely important that USA should/must start increasing its amount of gold (& even all other precious metals), too!
(By the way, I am talking about physical gold & definitely NOT paper gold certificates!)
2: Please get this researched/verified because it is extremely important!:
Normally, total amounts of physical gold & paper gold certificates need to be very close!
But I think, in recent years, total amount of paper gold certificates gone far beyond total amount of physical gold & it is keep getting worse!
Because I think, some companies are keep printing more & more paper gold certificates, just like keep printing their own money out-of-thin-air!
Which means the market is keep ballooning & could/would pop/collapse anytime, when general public realizes the situation, sooner or later!
