Economics

Либра тудырған үрей

Jul 1, 2019 Stephen Grenville

СИДНЕЙ – Facebook-тың жаңа цифрлық валюта жариялауына сыншыл, күмәншіл тіпті жаушыл жауаптар тым көбейіп кетті. Facebook-тың қолданушылардың жеке деректеріне немқұрайлы қарайтынын ескерсек, мұны түсінуге болады. Дегенмен бұл бір кездері “алға жылжып, көп бетбұрыс жасауға” уәде берген компанияның ілгері басып, осы процесс барысында тұтас ұлттық экономикаларды қиратуын тоқтата алмайтын сыңайлы.

Әзірге либраның қалай жұмыс істейтінін білмейміз. Бұл революциялық даңғаза айналып келгенде қазіргі бар төлем жүйелерінің тағы бір варианты болып шығуы да мүмкін. Apple Pay, PayPal, WeChat және басқа да қызметтердің әрқайсысының негізгі төлем әдістері, соның ішінде клиенттер мен мекемелерді еліктіретін процесті оңайлатынын тәсілдері бар. Дегенмен, сайып келгенде, бұл қызметтер қазіргі төлем арналарының тізбегіндегі дәстүрлі банк жүйелерімен жалғап жатқан қосымша байланыс түрі ғана.

Егер либра осы қазіргі ойыншылармен бәсекеге түсетін болса, Facebook тек ақша жіберу, шетел валютасына айырбас сияқты төлемдер ғана емес, дата жинауда да біраз мүмкіндікке ие болады. Әлеуметтік желінің алып төлем базасындағы төлем және транзакция детальдарына қол жеткізудің өзі – өте үлкен олжа.

First, I think is about time "Project Syndicate" hires someone that understand cryptocurrencies. There is a ton that the Libra project has released but, most importantly, anyone with basic knowledge would see how this project is different and can have significant benefits. Now, engaging in the argument, it is shocking to claim that Libra could "destabilize" monetary system in countries like Argentina. OMG! Have you heard of Cavalo? Do you really believe Argentina or Venezuela have "stable" systems? Years of blatant pilfering of (poor) people's savings in the name of a pathetic "sovereign" currency? Libra and similar stablecoins have the potential to end this and finally bring stability to a region where very often criminals rule the central banks.

Above it states; "In today’s world, such massive shifts between currencies are rare, because there is substantial friction in international currency transactions."

I contend that currencies are trading in a false paradigm. It is the coordinated collusion of the major central banks that have allowed this charade to exist. It is important to understand that wealth is contained within a rather closed system.system of fiat money by laws and rules that discourage freedom of movement into tangible assets. This has sheltered currencies from a storm of volatility

The failure or major repricing of any of the world's four major reserve currencies will destroy the myth that major currencies are immune to the same fate that has haunted so many currencies throughout history. Simply put, when the nations granting them have proven unable to control their budgets their currency is crushed under the weight of debt. The article below explores why investors should get ready for a rude awakening caused by major changes in currency values.

Many of us see the introduction of a single "World Currency" as a major part of the economic endgame. This is something that will be forced on us as part of a "needed reset" to a global economy that has gone off track. The fact this issue is again in the news may be an indication we are getting closer to where currencies begin to fail.

The new world order and globalization which has been pushed by many world leaders and the rich elite touting that "larger, more cooperative governments under one financial unit will benefit us all” plays into the world currency scenario. The article below delves into how this might unfold.

All of the real money would flow to Facebook, and the rest of us would have scrip. Until people understand that cutting taxes or avoiding taxes is tantamount to sawing off the limb you're sitting on, we will have disastrous policymaking. But even some of the smartest people are convinced that taxes are confiscation (it's not), that government debt is risky (ours isn't), and that stocks are the best place for their retirement savings (they will be for some people). But why worry? My friends in business believe, fatalistically, that if the world could be a better place, it would already be. And if the world could not function as it does (i.e., as a madhouse of nihilistic self-deception), it wouldn't.
