May 12, 2024 update: Nebraska ended capital gains taxes on sales of gold and silver With Gov. Jim Pillen's signature.
Older news:
42 states have removed some or all taxes from the purchase of gold and silver.
And there are new bills pending now in five of the eight remaining states, i.e. Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Hawaii, and New Jersey.
In 2019, the Sound Money Defense League teamed up with sound money advocates in West Virginia to eliminate sales taxes on precious metals.
A similar effort will be considered in Olympia, Washington.
Passage into law would relieve some of the tax burdens on investors, and would also take a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.
Repealing these taxes knocks down one barrier that might keep some investors from considering physical metal for their portfolios.

Government documents from 2014 refer to XRP

The United States Government Accountability Office:
Other virtual currencies that have been created are not based on the bitcoin protocol.
One of the more prominent examples is XRP, which is used within a decentralized payment system called Ripple.
Ripple allows users to make peer-to-peer transfers in any currency.
A key function of XRP is to facilitate the conversion from one currency to another.
For example, if a direct conversion between Mexican pesos and Thai baht is not available, the pesos can be exchanged for XRP, and then the XRP for baht.

Zero Point Energy Declassification

Trumps revenge will be Declassification of Zero Point Energy! Off-world vehicles not made on this Earth.
The quantum field theory predicts that there exists an energy of the vacuum resulting from the non-zero zero-point energies of the quantum fields that fill our universe.
Imagine if we could collect the energy out of thin air. And I mean it quite literally.You know how you were taught that a vacuum is nothing but empty space? That isnt exactly true, at least in the world of quantum mechanics. If you dive deeper, below the level of molecules, atoms, electrons and protons, and into the world of the tiniest subatomic particles, like quarks, you will see that even the vacuum of space can never be truly empty. It is filled with particles that randomly pop in and out of existence.But the exciting thing about those these fluctuating particles is that they generate energy that we could, hypothetically, put to good use.
