 You know how insane this is? If you had only 0.1% of this you'd be sitting on $140 million dollars. Let that sink in for a minute.

 Why they pay interest on paper money they create from nothing? #asknostr

 Yeah I wonder that too. I think it has something to do with feigning legitimacy.

 Wow, whose income stream is that interest going to?

Also, where does the β€œmoney” come from to pay off the principal *and* the interest?

 I guess more treasury bonds but who knows. Maybe they can mint a couple more of them 1 trillion dollar, 1oz platinum coins. An ounce only cost them like $1300.

 That’s the neat part; all money is loaned into existence with interest 

The interest can never be paid off

An truly amazing scam
