Part 4. It's July 1998, and we have reached the business end of the World Cup in France. France square it against current defending champion Brazil. Everyone knew what dangers posed by the Samba boys. It's not a fluke this nation has 4 winners medal to their name. And besides they had the deadliest attacker in the game, Ronaldo De Lima. In a charged arena, finally the whistle went for kick off. The French were on the attack from start to finish and they won their first trophy. Two goals from Zinedan Zidane and a third from Emmanuel Petit secured victory. Now why am I telling you this story? What's all this have to do with succeeding in business and life. Yes, hard working France won, big deal! They won their second trophy last year, what's the point? Yes, France won that trophy but its not that victory which is so important. It's the news that later emerged about how they won. In 2018 former UEFA president, Michel Platini, revealed how they ...

Bitcoin, Crypto and Banks: Economist Says It’s the End of Government Monopoly on Money

-

Jeffrey Tucker, economist and editorial director for the American Institute for Economic Research, is calling out banking elites and governments for their long-standing monopoly on money, which has led to “world wars, depression and inflation, enormous government indebtedness, and the rise of leviathan states that learned to print their way to power and riches.” In a recent report, Tucker advises central banks and governments to stop meddling in the world of crypto — where they’re not wanted, not qualified and not going to succeed. But banks are hardly lying down and rolling over. They’re lining up solutions to kick Bitcoin and crypto to the curb, challenging the fintech startups that are vying to take away their monopoly and world dominance. Tucker addresses their central scheme to stop the competition: issue their own digital currencies. But a government-backed, central bank-branded coin would have nation-state borders and would live on a permissioned blockchain. It would ...
