By Matthew Hayward Have you ever wondered why people interested in cryptocurrencies talk about it as if we don't already have digital currency with the US dollar? There is actually a stark contrast between Bitcoin and the US dollar, which exemplifies different economic ideologies. The US dollar, as a fiat currency, is valued based on trust in the stability of the government. This system's inherent flexibility often triggers inflation, causing the money supply to swell and dilute the value of each dollar, which in turn reduces purchasing power and drives up prices. Inflation erodes savings, progressively reducing the purchasing power of each dollar for goods and services. In contrast, Bitcoin, established on the unalterable foundation of blockchain technology, offers a digital alternative. Its inherent scarcity and controlled release mechanism ensure that its value is likely to ascend as demand increases. Unlike the dollar, which depreciates due to inflation, Bitcoin is designed...

  "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - often attributed to Thomas Jefferson "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution." - Thomas Jefferson "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented." - John Kenneth Galbraith "The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate th...

Audit or eliminate the Fed? By Matthew Edward Hayward on Tuesday, April 5, 2011 My number one political issue for more than three years has been the audit and subsequent abolition of the Federal Reserve Bank. With the understanding that the Federal Reserve is responsible for creating the conditions that allow corporations and government to run rampant with malfeasance and malinvestment, it felt natural to attack the structural integrity of the Fed itself.
