Topic: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

They say dumb rises to the top... in this case that is very true.

Cyprus even on a 3 day holiday had a run on the banks. Atm's throughout the island nation, even with a 400 euro cap, were emptied.

The saddest thing is the lartest pile of money is apparently from Russians who have been moving money into Cyprus recently. That investment will never return, and investments in Europe will drop like a rock....

Those stupid monkeys have just doomed the Euro... in one idiotic move they have done what even the goofy people of Greece, Spain, and France could not. This too also probably spells amd end to the EU.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Cyprus had no equivalent of the FDIC?

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

This is their government ordered to tqke 10%, how would insurance cover that?

Retirees losing 10% oftheir nest egg, business owners losing 10% of next weeks payroll, resteraunts losing 10% of their food buying and bill paying accounts, charitys losing 10%, investors inbetween investments losing 10%,  the list goes on.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Well it IS Russian mafias money. Not sure if it will pay off in the long run to support them. hmm

Next to that, its also a fiscal paradise for many Europeans. I believe it should be prevented and at the same time EU taxes should be lowered overall to keep the money inside. All tough the high taxes on jobs should be dealt with first if setting priorities.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

The problem is, thay Cyprus has to be safed by tax payers money. But the banks, which need the money, have high deposits of dirty money from Russia, Greece, Great Britain... The idea was that those deposits should pay up to 15% or more, so that the tax payers would not pay the full price. But the president of Cyprus didn't want to intimidate the dirty money, so he lowered the burden to 9,9% an raised the part of the population to 6,75%. In recent news the president considers to raise the tax to 15% for higher deposits and lower the tariff for the population to 3%.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Well the predictable happened.

With people thinking that taking other peoples money is fkne investors are tanking Spaim, Greece, Portugal and soon France. Costs to insure banks has risen, nay, leaped significantly in Europe, people in distressed nations are withdrawing maximum amounts and debt bonds just became King Cobra level poisonous to investors.

This act of Government and Sociatal greed has, in my opinion, 99.9% started the collapse of the European Union and the Euro Currency. The .1% is for if they see how foolish they were, all who participated resign or are fired, and the entire collective of national Governmentw and the EU all announce, in terms so strong as to be permament, that this idea shall never be allowed, never be tolerated, never be forced upon any nation.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

It's a trial-run, with a tiny country. There'll be a lot more of this in years to come.

Einstein, that you think the systematic robbery of the working by globalist authoritarians is a result of stupidity is a sign that it'll work. They're getting rich off of this. They're enslaving whole nations with debts that can never be payed off, enriching themselves endlessly into the future. They're effectively enriching themselves and enslaving people. What part of that is stupidity?

Justinian I, the FDIC won't insure Americans' money from robbery by the government (and the international bankers who run it) either. We couldn't afford our debt already if we couldn't control the interest rate of the dollar--which we won't be able to do in the future, as more countries move away from it as their reserve currency, and currency used to trade oil. Robbery like this is coming to America, if we let it. Such attempts will positively be made, and the FDIC positively is not a defense against it.

Stop saving cash and investing in paper. Start investing in hard assets. When the global economy completely crashes, at least you'll have a house, some land to grow your own food on, and small livestock to eat/use. The return on theses investments is low monetarily, but if the shit hits the fan, you'll be better off than that billionaire with useless paper.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Gone are the days when governments play along with the rich's legalized tax fraud and disproportionate taxation of the poor and middle class.   Eventually the rich will all buy Bitcoins as part of their ongoing tax evasion scheming and then poof, the internet will go down because there'll be no money to maintain the infrastructure, and, poof go all those precious bitcoins! Yay for greed!

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Xeno,

The rich don't need bitcoins to avoid taxes. They've bought the governments that tax their livestock.

They hate bitcoin (and other free market currencies) because it allows other people than them to beat the scam international banking system of constant taxation via inflation and other government mechanisms (such as the topic of this thread).

Few people today have the land to grow all of their own food. Some are even prosecuted for doing it! We've been made into dependent, incompetent fools for generations. Intentionally.



The Yell,

As far as the FDIC is concerned, such a "fee" isn't a loss to be insured against. Hell, they're just making sure your money is secure until it's time for government to take it all. You don't need it. You're a better, more dependent, more patriotic cow for the globalist banker elite to milk without it. God forbid you can take care of yourself. You'd be out of their control!

The FDIC is owned by the same international bankers who are stealing Cyprus' money. They're not going to regulate against their own interests. There's absolutely no chance they'd do anything about government robbery of Americans' accounts.

And yes, obviously we're in an inflationary period.

That and hackers. The vast majority of GPU viruses are designed to run bitcoin algorithms and then report back successes. Yes GPU and not CPU.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Einstein is very knowledgeable about this stuff. He's a programmer, hacker, and cyber crime expert.

It's just a coincidence that his anecdotal terror stories coincide with fear-mongerers trying to squash competition to massively inflating private-bank-regulated currencies.

Nevermind that bit coin values have risen dramatically of late. Nevermind that he doesn't know what GPU means. He's been told to be afraid, and he is.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Haha I'm just reading stories now. This is funny stuff. He had something of a point (though outdated), but none of it's a problem if your computer is secure. Nothing worse than has been a problem with credit cards for years.

No worries, Einstein. You can't afford a GPU anyway. You can safely use bitcoins.

Re: Silly Euro Leaders order 10% of savings seized

Perhaps you should invest some of that cash in securing the hardware you've invested in. You know that, statistically, far more value of the dollar is lost through inflation alone than bitcoins are stolen, right? And bank holdings (along with other assets the government tracks) are at risk when our debt bills come due, right? What alternative are you suggesting?

I wasn't mocking your cash. All work is respectable, even yours. I was mocking your frequent MASSIVELY exaggerated claims of expertise on various subjects, all of which you know next to nothing about.

The Euro was never meant to be a strong European currency. It was meant to make European nations' parliaments irrelevant in taking control of European industry. It has been a smashing success.
