Pot To Kettle: Please No Decades Of Pain (That Was Our Schtick)

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is begging China to "act like a normal nation" and avoid capturing developing nations in a debt trap leading to decades of pain widely distributed around the world (archived). This appeal ssemingly crafted to tear at the heartstrings is void of a certain necessary context: Trapping developing nations in debt and amplifying their pain is the US and EU's schtick and they would very much like China to step back and get out of their way.

Chinese foreign investment isn't always without controversy where it occurs, but it tends to have a transparency the old IMF scheme lacked. Raw materials for otherwise inaccessible finished goods is a rather kind deal compared to what was on offer before.

‘Borderline Fraud’ Bitcoin Cash Is ‘Less Secure’ – Max Keiser To CNBC

Keiser Report host and bitcoin proponent Max Keiser has told CNBC bitcoin Cash is “by definition less secure than bitcoin.”


Keiser Left Unimpressed At Ver’s CNBC Stunt

In a Twitter exchange following the appearance of bitcoin Cash’s Roger Ver on the network’s Fast Money segment, Keiser argued the bitcoin fork “eschews decentralization,” which is a “cornerstone” of bitcoin.

“Bottom Line: BitcoinCash (sic) is, by definition, less secure than bitcoin as it eschews decentralization; the cornerstone of TRUE bitcoin intent and design,” he wrote.

Additionally, use of the ‘bitcoin’ name in this instance is deceitful and borders on outright fraud.

The comments came in response to CNBC its joining in the debate, questioning why both bitcoin and bitcoin Cash could not coexist simultaneously.

“Do they have to be mutually exclusive? Can’t they both be good? So much division in this world,” it wrote, describing the two chains’ opposition as “sad.”

‘Promoting A Scam’?

Ver continues to enjoy widespread publicity as a bitcoin commentator despite his recent switch to bitcoin Cash and public denouncing of the original bitcoin as a “cripple coin.”

Some of his comments have been especially contentious, these notably including criticism of speaker and educator Andreas Antonopoulos’ net worth in bitcoin.

Commenting on CNBC’s choice of guest meanwhile, Keiser said the network was not guilty of “promoting a scam” referring to Cash.

“Is CNBC culpable in promoting a scam? No, because they make no claims about veracity and integrity. The market is an amusing cockfight they cover – without journalistic standards – for bored hedge fund managers,” he retaliated, suggesting viewers instead watch his own Keiser Report for “informed bitcoin analysis.”

bitcoin Cash continues to post relatively flat growth in the face of bitcoin’s rapid ascent to $17,000. Nonetheless, the project has a huge marketing presence on social media, with dedicated advocates appearing to infiltrate almost any discussion bringing up aspects of bitcoin’s current status.
