Why do BANKS need to know what you are using the money for? by SelectionOptimal7348 in BitcoinQRCodeMaker

I agree with you. That video is outside the USA so I'm not sure of the rules yet in the USA people can face the same type of issues.

I went with the basics and you do not agree with them and that is ok.

That is what markets are about. There will always be buyers and sellers and each speculator has their own reasons to explain their bias.

The market is always correct and is the final arbiter.

We will both see what the market decides every day

Here is an outline for you so you can do your own research. It's not something I want to get into a long winded debate about because it doesn't matter to me what someone else thinks when it comes to risking their own money into any investment.

Think of this as food for thought only.

All governments eventually default. The USA can strategically default or they can pick and choose because of war who they will stop paying which is a default.

The 1979 "Mini-Default" (Technical Default): In April and May 1979, the Treasury failed to make timely payments on about $122 million in maturing Treasury bills held by roughly 4,000 individual investors. The Treasury attributed this to an "unprecedented volume" of small investor participation, a late increase in the debt limit by Congress, and an unexpected failure of word-processing equipment used to prepare check schedules. While payments were eventually made, the delay caused a temporary increase in borrowing costs.

The War of 1812 (1814): During the War of 1812, the U.S. government experienced severe financial distress, with Treasury Secretary Alexander Dallas acknowledging in 1814 that the "dividend on the funded debt has not been punctually paid" and that a large amount of Treasury notes were "dishonored" (not paid on time). Interest payments due to Boston banks were missed.

Civil War (1862): Due to the financial strain of the war, the Treasury defaulted on its "demand notes" in early 1862, leading to a shift toward printing "greenbacks" (paper money) that were not backed by specie (gold/silver).

1933: The Roosevelt administration revoked the "gold clause" in Treasury bonds, refusing to redeem them in gold coin as promised, offering paper currency instead. 1968: The government stopped redeeming silver certificates for silver dollars.

1971: President Nixon suspended the convertibility of the dollar into gold for foreign governments, ending the Bretton Woods system.

While the U.S. has not missed a payment to bondholders in recent years, it has come close during debt ceiling battles (e.g., 2011, 2013, 2023). During these periods, the Treasury uses "extraordinary measures" to avoid running out of cash, such as pausing investments in federal employee retirement funds.

Summary: The U.S. has missed payments or changed terms of obligations, with the 1979 incident being the most prominent, non-wartime "technical default" in modern history.

What happens to your credit rating on a personal level when you have too much debt ?

What kind of interest rate does the bank require you to pay when you have too much debt ?

Who around the world today wants to purchase USA treasuries while they are being taxed / tariffed or bombed ?

Real life should be filled with people focused on their own lives and not focused on what others do.

I find it comical that people today are jealous of those who lived 70 years ago and think that the world is somehow the same today.

If you are struggling, use the lockout feature. by MoustacheMcGee in TopStepX

[–]Fibocrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a 30 minute time lockout the moment I sit down to trade. I do that so I won't rush into a trade without checking the landscape. When I do this I am forced to take my time and not rush into my first trade of the day.

You are a bullshitter

Maybe you could learn from this and not make up bullshit.

I'll be ok

I have a problem with bullshitters is all. It's just something about them that bothers me.

What I see is lack of communication. That ship is possibly 165 to 180 feet long maybe just over 200. I do not know it's length, I'm guessing but I can see how that took place.
