RE: Tales from the Crypto: International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief on Cryptos
Pot... kettle... black…
I like that. The criminals at the top don’t want competition.
I wrote a post on bank fraud and money laundering, the same banks that claim cryptos are used for criminal endeavors.

I will follow you and re-steem as I think you did a great job.
Yup, that's what I'm talking about. Shady business is just fine when they're in control. But when something new comes along, noooo can't have that. Good write up. Up-voted and re-steemed. Thanks!
Here she is with the BIS chief, thought you might like the "lovely" picture.
I have two posts on this guy, in case you want to take a look

Looks like he's eaten a few bitcoins along the way haha. Joking aside, thanks for the reads. It's a big club at the top. Everyone scratching each others backs, each as dirty as the next. Netflix is actually running an interesting series at the moment called 'Dirty Money'. One episode was about HSBC basically laundering mass amounts of cash over many years. I think you touched on that in one of your write-ups. They confessed to screwing up! Prosecutor basically said they were too big and important to take down, so a fine was all they got. wow.
The system is designed to preserve itself. Laws are made to protect the top from the rest of us.
As for the too big to fail banks, they will destroy themselves eventually. Greed and the belief that they are untouchable will eventually lead them to their own demise. The gigantic amounts of derivatives these banks have on their book, while having a capitalization rate of 3% makes them very vulnerable.
The problem is that they will take the entire financial system down when they fall.
Hopefully this will be like the forest fire creates room for new growth. Maybe a new financial world, like a phoenix, will emerge based on solid values and without fractional reserve.
