Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) released a whitepaper discussing the role of blockchain technology in facilitating financial inclusion.
The whitepaper underscores the significance of financial services access for global financial inclusion, particularly in developing economies.
Despite advancements in digital payments, cash remains prevalent in emerging economies. Many unbanked adults still receive government and private-sector payments in cash, impacting financial inclusion.
It emphasizes digital payments as a pivotal entry point to formal economic participation. Despite the persistence of cash usage, transitioning to digital payments can encourage broader use of financial services.
The paper delves into the hurdles of cross-border payments and highlights blockchain's potential to address these challenges. It showcases blockchain's role in enabling secure, cost-effective transactions.
Additionally, it presents various applications of blockchain, such as facilitating cash-to-digital asset conversions, safeguarding against currency devaluation, and supporting humanitarian aid distribution.
While recognizing blockchain's promise for financial inclusion, the document emphasizes the necessity of balancing innovation with consumer protection, privacy, and financial education to ensure the creation of inclusive and secure financial systems.

US Sanctions Risking systemic collapse

Russia could ask for rubles or gold in exchange for energy. If that occurred Europe would have little choice. The real leverage in the Petrodollar system is on the 'petro' side.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. If energy payments begin moving outside of the SWIFT system, then the Petrodollar will be severely damaged.
Regardless, it's going to be disruptive and we're going to see additional problems. Very likely we will see further money printing and more stagflation.
The United States' attempts to simultaneously take on both Russia and China is a bad idea. We're forcing the two of them together while Europe is trying to play both sides. This situation will end with China and Russia gaining status.
Russian citizens have also been buying gold. This crisis will hurt their citizens, but this isn't Russia's first rodeo. The fact that Putin has done this either means he's lost his mind or he has a plan and found a window of opportunity.
We could see serious spillover effects on bonds and real yields.
The United States can't afford higher rates, and they can't remove Russia's oil without destroying their own markets.
We could see big changes should Russia use their gold as leverage. Possible scenarios that could occur should gold be revalued.

The IRS owned America, including the people

The below documents are a lien against America: all land, all real estate and each and every American.
This lien claims a debt value of $14.3 quadrillion; that's 14,300 trillion dollars.
A lien means that until the debt is paid, the IRS owns America, including the people.
Actually, the IRS is just the holder in due course for the BANK OF INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS(BIS) which is located in Basel, Switzerland.
As the holder in due course, the IRS retains the right to enforce the claim and debt collection.
This UCC financing Statement names the "First Debtor" as The Federal Reserve System.
The U.S. Department of Defense is listed as the debtor's exact legal name.
The North American Water and Power Alliance is shown as the "Assignor".

The dawn of the no-tax era?

On Tax Day, bold ideas are making waves:
Trump suggested tariffs could replace income tax and promised, “The USA will PROTECT OUR FARMERS!”
Congressman Byron Donalds echoed reform, calling to repeal the 16th Amendment and follow Florida’s no-income-tax model.
Interestingly, the roots of tax reform trace back to NESARA, first proposed by visionary farmers.
Meanwhile, the IRS CIO just resigned, the agency plans to cut 40% of its workforce, and many Americans are still eligible for $1,400 stimulus checks.
