Trump expected to launch Bitcoin reserve, as the cryptocurrency nears $100,000,

The popular digital currency Bitcoin is expected to break $100,000 as President-elect Donald Trump plans to establish a reserve dedicated to the cryptocurrency.

When Trump was on the campaign trail, he promised he would develop a council that would be friendly to Bitcoin.

"It's being fleshed out, but I anticipate the leading executives from America's bitcoin and crypto firms to be represented," said David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine said, according to Reuters.

He also said people are ready to advise and give input as Bitcoin becomes more prevalent.

The incoming Trump administration is also reportedly looking for a crypto "czar" and is vetting candidates.

Does this mean cash will be obsolete?

Does this mean cash will be obsolete?

I suppose to answer my own question, ultimately yes. There has to be a transition to cashless to lead to the coming Revelation 13 system to track buying and selling.
A digital currency reserve will eventually lead to being cashless

There has to be a transition to cashless to lead to the coming Revelation 13 system to track buying and selling.

Side note: Rev 13 never mentions tracking buying and selling, only you cant buy or sell without the MOB.

My question is how would AC know who is buying and selling with the Mark?
There would have to be a tracking system in place to know who has the Mark when they buy and sell, no?

First, Im not saying there wont be a tracking system in place, just that the bible does not state that. We have no idea how much damage will be inflicted upon the worlds infrastructure during the first half of the Tribulation. Computers may only be used by the rich and powerful, or only those leadership members for the Beast government.

The new believer in Jesus during the tribulation would not be able to buy or sell at any marketplace without having the visible MOB. Easy to enforce, hard to hide not having the MOB when out in public. If the only way the beast system knows who or who does not have the MOB is via information from those attempting to buy or sell, then that system could be bypassed much more easier.

We simply cant base our assumptions on what method the beast will use based on the technology we have today.

To be clear, simply speculation on my part, it very well could be a tracking computer chip type system. However, like most of the prophecy yet fulfilled, we’re left with speculation. Yes, that speculation can be educated speculation, but still a guessing game.

The technology to track what everyone's buying where, with what mode (card, check, or far, far more limited, cash), and to stop any transaction, currently exists, and is being used by at least some card issuers/banks. Merchants are hooked into this system simply by accepting checks and cards. A good use is when a card is stolen or lost, if it's been suspended, stopped, or canceled, the card gets declined.

Every purchase I make with dc and cc is tracked. If I log into my Prime account, I can see everything I bought with my Prime cc, even if it wasn't at WF or Amazon. It's not just the store and amount, it's EVERYTHING I bought Banks and individuals can stop cc essentially instantaneously, and banks and credit card issuers can turn off individual, groups, or all cards instantaneously. If Visa, MC, etc. turn off/suspend all their cards, they can then require one verify proof of taking the mark much like people now prove identity by uploading ID and photo and/or biometric. Or go into the bank for verification. Once verified, that person's credit cards, debit cards, etc. could get turned back on. Even now, at some banks, one must have his or her debit card to deposit or withdraw funds in person. If not, there's a looooooooooooooong process to prove identity, PIN, authorized access, etc., and it's not done by the teller. It would be faster to go home and get the debit card than go through the whole rig-a-ma-role. And at least one bank branch charges a FEE

Bank America tracks what I do with my dc the same way as Amazon with my Prime cc.

We don’t know. People in the past could never have imagined the technology we have today when studying Bible Prophecy.

We have no idea what the mark will be like and what technology or spiritual effects it will have in addition to not being able to buy or sell and being doomed to hell. Beyond that is anyone’s guess.

I’ve heard people guessing the mark transforms the person and they become connected to the Beast like the Borg in Star Trek. That it has to do with transhumanism and you are no longer human. Everything you do the Beast will automatically know and you become an extension of him. Who knows. I imagine that the details would probably surprise us.

We’ll have to wait and see when we are in heaven and have those answers.

As I said up thread, that's true, there's a lot in Bible prophecy that's not clear in Scripture. So why is it so widely assumed by so many that "today's technology is setting the foundation for the Beast system?"
Just as I have said that John couldn't have understood how all of the world could see the two witnesses laying dead for three days, but we can figure that now with today's technology with Internet and TV it's possible for the world to see it, but because I don't know for sure I'm guessing a logical answer with what is now available in technology, but then it may be something else since it's not that time yet
I'm only explaining in depth because I am aware that we don't know details in regards to the Mark, but I agree with the many who believe there's going to be some form of tracking system With the Mark, whatever the Mark will be. I don't expect anyone to agree but I gave my opinion.

 

[1LoverofGod]

The way I see it in respect to "tracking", in my opinion, I don't think it's a tracking so much in the terms of location tracking, but possibly in the terms of "keeping track" of transactions.
Even when AC is possessed by the devil, as much as the devil tries to copy God he's not Omniscient, he's not all knowing, so the AC and his Beast system won't be able to know who's making transactions without a global form of tracking system.
The world of globalists tell us their plans for the all Internet of things, a world banking system with a block chain attached to it so every transaction goes to one system.
The current world events and advancing technology gives a little light on what's coming and is why I tend to think that there will be a form of tracking system involved in the buying and selling and only those with the Mark will be able to make these transactions.
I don't think this is a fact, but I am using what is out there right now and the reports of near future technology to make my conclusion, but I could be wrong.

 

[Cheeky200386]

I wonder who Trump will appoint as the Crypto Czar?

 

[1LoverofGod]

The transaction tracking has been going on for some time.
It's only getting more sophisticated with newer technology.
Years ago when I noticed a change in retail receipts, I thought that's a good thing because now I have record of my transactions in case I needed to return something or had a dispute over what I was charged for.
But now I see it differently. A retail receipt has itemized items you bought, date, time, location of the transaction and the method of payment.
If you use a Bank card it even has the last numbers of your bank account on the receipt.
Certainly all of this information must go to a data base and "someone" with access to that data base knows your transaction history.
Now add what is in the works as planned by the globalists, digital currency, SGE scores, digital I.D, and Biometrics, and government knows every transaction made and by whom and where the transactions were made.
It's been a slow but steady implementation of what is necessary for The coming Beast system.

Trump’s former CFTC chair eyed for ‘crypto czar’ role
(One day ago)

"Crypto Dad" Chris Giancarlo has emerged as a leading contender to become the first-ever "crypto czar," a possible new administration position the Trump transition team is weighing to help foster growth in the $3 trillion digital asset market, FOX Business has learned.

Giancarlo, 65, is a lawyer and the former head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during President-elect Donald Trump's first term in the White House. He has been a key member of the new Trump transition team both before Nov. 5 and after Trump won a resounding victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on a platform that promised a more regulatory-friendly environment for crypto and the potentially revolutionary blockchain technology that facilitates transactions using digital assets.

Over the past few weeks, he has taken himself out of the running to head the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) but has told top officials in the transition orbit that he is open to the crypto czar position. FOX Business has learned that Trump, after meeting with top crypto executives such as Coinbase's Brian Armstrong and Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse, appears open to creating such a position, and Giancarlo, with his Washington, D.C., credentials and deep understanding of policy implementation, is currently a frontrunner for the job.

Since Andy mentioned that we couldn't know that it was be modern day tech that would be the catalyst for tracking, could it just as well be supernatural knowledge imposed on the Beast in order to track? The Beast - well, more so Satan is a counterfeit after all. The Lord knows his children, Satan knows his or does He? Not omniscience perse, but heightened otherworldly knowledge in any case? I've not thought as much about this as many of you as I come from a different space, which I seriously am looking to change or at least modify. So, say one takes the Mark-buys/sells, is that fact injected into The Beast as if it were an imprint?

Look, I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. But a thought if not somewhat hollow, nonetheless. I do think the modern-day tracking would fit splendidly into the goings on of today. Not combating that at all, only a curiosity re Andy's mention.

Great point. This reminds me of something entertaining my friends and i in my reformed days would share in thought. Like ever slowly becoming more aware of what age we might actually be in. I could only vaguely sense those things that Paul would have been vexed by walking into Athens 1st century. But he still found a way to help them understand from their own thinkings upon things. Like the alter to the unknown God. Almost like a perfect setup for a Paul entrance.

But could we imagine pulling Paul out of his times back then. Landing him into the Los Angeles Forum parking lot in the 1980s. Walking him in through the corridors. And have him come to approach a roaring crowd of screaming thousands with torches in the air. Only to view in spotlight, at the center of focus, a long haired demon with a tongue slicing the air as his winged arms outstretched and the pulsating noise of his being like that of 10,000 men. Looking like a man, but breathing fire like a dragon. As the crowd roared with glee.

We could only imagine what Gene Simmons in the days of Kiss might have seemed to antiquity. And that was like 30 years ago. What things to be like that for the world's future of our generation....oh my.

Thanks for posting this. I think a good tension to keep in mind that currently bitcoin is not centralized. And the FED is. For now. I should have bought bitcoin at $15k 2 years ago. Amazing times. Blessings.
