Here was the reaction from the Bitcoin Community: http://cointelegraph.com/news/survey-... There was no reaction from the Monetary Reform community even though they just got the most significant reform announcement in decades. Here is the announcement from Reuters: China's central bank plans to launch its own digital currencies China's central bank wants to launch its own digital currencies to cut the costs of circulating traditional paper money and boost policymakers' control of money supply, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said on Wednesday. A PBOC research team set up in 2014 to look into digital currencies should make preparations for launches, according to a central bank statement posted on www.pbc.gov.cn. "The team ... should set up a clearer strategic target for launching digital currencies, overcome the key technological barriers ... and aim for an early launch of the central bank's digital currencies," the PBOC said. Virtual currencies can also help boost transparency of economic activities and curb money laundering and tax evasions, it added. One of the most popular digital currencies is bitcoin, which is created through a 'mining' process where a computer's resources are used to perform millions of calculations. But the rise of bitcoin, which is unregulated in many countries, has stoked concerns it can be used as a vehicle to launder money and finance extremist groups.

Nothing in this content should be treated as tax, legal, investment or financial advice. Full details here: https://www.retirementplanb.com/disclaimers Simon Dixon, CEO BnkToTheFuture.com and Fund manager at Bitcoin Capital, explains the difference between Bitcoin and Banking and the opportunities it produces. Simon explains why banks and regulators will be effected by Bitcoin. For more videos visit: http://www.simondixon.org/ In the Fortune story “Why banks fear bitcoin”, Trond Arne Undheim, a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management” said the “virtual currently is likely to decentralize banking services.” His view may well be a reflection on how money is created and controlled. There is an old adage: “who makes the gold, makes the rules.” Governments, and through banks, across the world authorize themselves to print paper money. They control how much money is circulated. As consumers, we have the right to use the money but do not own the money. Bitcoin proponents hold the view that this power of governments and banks to control the creation, circulation and eventual destruction of money, results in a lack of transparency in terms of accountability for the value of money. Simon Dixon, co-founder and CEO of BnkToTheFuture.com, explains the difference between the money as controlled by banks versus bitcoin. Himself an ex-investment banker, he explains that most people do not know the complexity behind the creation of money. The transparency that the Bitcoin protocol offers may also be one of its biggest hurdles in the current quest to be recognized as a legitimate currency for trading. Globally all financial regulators, and governments, mandate financial institutions to enforce the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) controls as part of anti-money laundering and counter terrorism efforts. The lack of central regulatory oversight means banks must do their own policing of digital currency to ensure they do not become liable to governments and industry regulatory bodies. This self-policing requirement means more work, extra cost and additional risks banks are not happy to volunteer to take on. At present, regulators in some markets have assigned the term “asset” to crypto currencies like bitcoin. This designation allows bitcoin to be traded like other financial assets. Hence, the fluctuating value of bitcoins as speculators trade on the crypto currency hoping to make ‘real’ money in some future period. Banks, themselves, are also observing developments around crypto currencies to understand the technology and the potential business that can be derived from the innovation. For the moment, focus is shifting to blockchain – the distributed ledger of Bitcoin. The September 2014 paper published by the Bank of New England calls Bitcoin a significant innovation with far-reaching implications. In a Wall Street Journal interview, Oliver Bussmann, group chief information officer of Swiss bank UBS, is quoted as saying “I believe — and this is my personal view — that blockchain technology will not only change the way we do payments but it will change the whole trading and settlement topic.” He believes that blockchain has the potential to trigger massive simplification of banking processes and cost structures.

Full details here: https://www.retirementplanb.com/disclaimers Fears are rising that Greece could leave the eurozone if snap elections three weeks away lead to a far-right victory. But the European Commission has dismissed such a scenario. The European Commission says membership to the currency union is not revocable. The commission took the stance after German media reported that Berlin considers Greece exit from the eurozone inevitable in case of a far-right win in the polls. Other reactions have also emerged from other EU countries. The prospects of Athens abandoning the single currency have pushed the euro to a nine-year low in Monday trading. Shares also plunged by over five percent in Athens Stock Exchange before recovering by less than a percent at the closing bell.

Full details here: https://www.retirementplanb.com/disclaimers http://www.simondixon.org Financial institutions in the UK are treated based on double standards as different regulations seem to apply to those firms deemed “too big to fail,” says an analyst, Press TV reports. “It seems we have a [financial] regulator that has one rule for banks and one rule for other financial institutions,” Simon Dixon, author of “Bank to the Future,” said in an interview with Press TV on Tuesday. Dixon stated that major banks have rules of their own so disciplinary “threats (from regulators) are empty threats and nothing that actually is bestowed upon them is taken as a serious threat because they are not allowed to fail and they are always bailed out.” He added that, “If you’re an honest financial institution that doesn’t have the large power of these large banks, then the threats of the regulators is very big.” The comments come following the announcement that despite profits amounting to two billion pounds for the half year in 2013, Britain’s Lloyds Banking Group plans to cut 9,000 jobs and close tens of branches over the next three years as part of cost-cutting measures. Lloyds Banking Group was founded in 1765 and is the fourth oldest bank in the UK. Lloyds has benefited from taxpayer bailouts and state subsidies running into the hundreds of billions of pounds during the global financial crisis. Dixon concluded by saying, “We should be treating these banks exactly as a company that is poorly performing… and that’s fine, but why we’re actually bailing these banks out in the first place is the major problem.” http://www.simondixon.org

The book combines fiction and nonfiction and takes you on a time travelling journey through real life financial events that we learn from to fix our broken financial system. At the same time we learn how to protect our future on this journey without boring you to tears with financial jargon written for anybody to enjoy and understand. So what is the Free Economy? The question of deflation v. inflation is fueling debate all wound the world at the moment. Is inflation good and deflation bad? Will prices go up and fuel a boom or will prices go down making everything cheaper. Will prices go up by printing away the value of currency or will asset prices go down crashing the economy? What causes inflation? Is it the fact that governments print too much money as many would have you believe or is it the fact that banks create money as debt and inflation is caused by businesses increasing prices to service the interest on their debts. Whoever you speak to has a different answer. It is my belief that the reason why many have been expecting runaway inflation in many countries, but it has not occurred is because we live in a unique time known as the free economy. There a few facts that are hard to deny no matter what your view on inflation and deflation. Fact - property price inflation is caused by banks. There is one main reason why the price of property always increases over time and that is because banks create 97% of our money supply as debt and the banks favourite asset class for creating money is through mortgages. Banks like the security of lending against an asset that most wish to purchase that cannot run away if the debt becomes unaffordable or left unpaid by the borrower. This fact is the reason why property prices always increase over time and have now increased well beyond the affordability of everyday people who's real wages are decreasing. This one fact is the main cause of more inequality in our world than anything else and property has become the main tool by which banks create money and skim interest out of an economy with no productive growth or real increase in jobs. This effect is inflationary. Fact - since the birth of the internet businesses have been in an ever increasing drive to offer the goods and services they used to charge for for free before their competitors drive them out of business by offering their same service for free. The need to offer goods and services for free is a job killer for many businesses and converges jobs to the large corporate who can sustain a free business model. This force is driving the free economy and causing the digitisation of everything in order to reduce costs so the price converges to free. This effect is deflationary. Fact - central banks all around the world have been pumping money into their economies through quantitative easing in an attempt to artificially cause inflation in their economies. These programmes tend to make their way into stock markets and financial speculative markets first causing stock market and bond market inflation. Pu these forces together and you have asset price inflation through banks and central banks and a decrease in real wages thanks to the free economy. The worst of both worlds if you do not own those assets. It is the free economy that requires everybody to need to understand the rules that govern finance, technology and money in order to get on the right side of the free economy and one of the reasons I wrote the book so that everybody can understand finance, technology and money. In Chapter Three of 'Bank to the Future', we investigate the free economy in detail and how it affects you. Welcome to the free economy and enjoy the chapter.

At the same time we learn how to protect our future on this journey without boring you to tears with financial jargon written for anybody to enjoy and understand. So what is the debt trap? There are three little known facts about banking that have grave consequences in terms of economic stability, equality and sustainability. There is a reason why your country has taken on huge debt on your behalf for you or your children to repay. There is a reason why you pay so much tax. There is a reason why you have to borrow more to buy your house than your income may be able to support. There is a reason why everything feels expensive to you right now. There is a reason why people you know, companies started by your friends and family, countries you live in and your government are struggling to pay their debts. There is a reason why they try to pay off debt by taking on more debt. There is a reason why the economy fluctuates and is never stable. There is a reason why our economy crashes when banks decide it is time to stop lending. There is a reason why banks are 'too big to fail'. There is a reason why your money is pooled with billions in taxpayers' money in order to bail out banks. There is a reason why banks make so much money. There is a reason why some bankers get paid such huge bonuses even after a bailout. There is a reason why the developing world is stuck in poverty. There is a reason why money is made available to create 'weapons of mass destruction' and to drill for more oil when alternatives exist. There is a reason why laws are being created across the world to make it easier to take your money deposited at a bank as was recently the case for Cypriot people through bank bail ins. There is reason why our financial system is inevitably and predictably guaranteed to crash. And there is a reason why you should care. In fact there are three reasons. Firstly, when you deposit your money with a bank, the bank becomes the legal owner of your money. Secondly, when they becomes the legal owner of your money they spend it as they wish by deciding who they issue loans to. Finally, banks create money. 97% of all money in our economy has been created as debt by a private bank. We were delighted to see the Bank of England confirm this in a recent YouTube video for the first time in over 300 years and even more delighted to see the IMF investigate the consequences of these facts leading to a historic articles by Martin Wolf in the Financial Times. In Chapter Two of 'Bank to the Future', we investigate our debt trap in detail and how it affects you. Welcome to the debt trap and enjoy the chapter. Order your copt here: goo.gl/8pNxK2

BankToTheFuture.com will take the CrowdFunding concept made famous by sites like Kickstarter and Indigogo, where the crowd decide what gets funded by viewing online pitches and contributing money to them in exchange for rewards, and do the same, but this time the crowd get shares in the company, rather than rewards. Max Keiser and CEO Simon Dixon have been discussing the potential of what can be achieved when BankToTheFuture.com applies for a full investment banking license, allowing them to get involved in turning every financial product into a crowd-funded product, shifting the power away from financial institutions and over to the people. "I believe in a Scorched Earth policy when it comes to bank reform. There is no reforming them actually, given how deeply they have embedded themselves into the host, the UK and US economy. so we must essentially euthanize them with a fully transparent investment bank like Simon Dixon's BankToTheFuture.com." Max Keiser BankToTheFuture.com are currently seeking funding via a £2m crowdfunding bid so they can apply for the investment banking license and create the first Crowd-Investment Bank. In their pitch video, CEO, Simon Dixon states he recently turned down the opportunity of funding from venture capital firms and instead decided to put their destiny in the hands of the crowd, where the crowd can become shareholders in BankToTheFuture.com by investing online. There are two ways you can get involved, you can back them in exchange for the rewards on offer, just like a Kickstarter campaign, or you can view their investment pitch and buy shares in the company after completing their very fast compliance check. In order to make this happen they need to raise £2m from the crowd and show that it is no longer financial institutions determining who gets funded, but in fact, people who can control the purse strings and determine what gets funded. "We are witnessing a shift from financial institutions deciding who gets the money, to you deciding who gets the money." Simon Dixon, CEO BankToTheFuture.com You can back them, invest in them or just see how the bid is getting on here. http://bit.ly/121sJCW
