Was BitClub a Scam… Or a Target?Added:
Two Colorado men are accused of fraud in a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. Joe Badalia Weeks is from Arvada, but authorities arrested him in Florida. Now I get it. There were no victims on the Bitcoin side, but if you calculate the coin market cap value of the cryptocurrency industry, it's like $3 trillion.
Where did that $3 trillion come from?
The banking cartel.
They don't like that. I get it. But Bitcoin was created [music] to be open-source, decentralized. The government steps in and regulate it.
Doesn't that [music] defeat the purpose?
