 mBridge uses central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to replace the traditional correspondent account system. Transactions on this platform avoid oversight from SWIFT and the US.

Any thoughts on the viability of this idea?

 I actually know Rick. He's a good guy. I'm glad he has this platform. I follow him closely. His insights are good.  
 The government will never allow Trump to become President. They hate him and will do anything to stop him.  
 The globalists put on conferences that literally tell us what they have planned. That is what the... 
 Yes. In Western Europe this is very true. Why don't people fight back against this?  
 how much will nostr accelerate the distribution of hate? 
 Excellent point.  
 How do you un-report? Accidentally reported the tracker token thingum. Now I feel very bad 😿. ... 
 Sure you did. Ha ha ha ha! 
 I wish him all the best. Salvadorans are wonderful people and their new president is on the right track. The U.S. will never be helpful.  
 The make-believe economy is not doing so well after all. 
No, the stock market, and the economy, are not doing well. The pablum you're getting from the White House and Corporate Media is just a lie.

 Egypt hates the Palestinians. So does Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and virtually every other country in the region. Hamas is the problem. Get rid of Hamas, deprogram the Palestinians from the Hamas brainwashing, and live in peace.  
 Israel accusing countries that recognize Palestine as “being complicit in genocide” is wild. 
 The Hamas Charter explicitly calls or genocide against the Jews. It's their only core value. Yale University has an excellent translation of the charter available to the public online. You might want to have a look at it.  
 The Hamas Charter has been on Yale's website for many years. You can pick up a copy somewhere else. The translation won't change. 

If you think killing Jews is OK but Israel fighting back against Hamas is not, then I'd suggest you engage in some critical thinking of your own. 

It may surprise you that many critical thinkers see a third way...one that does not involve killing anyone.  
 No. People in Israel are not Nazis. Sorry. What you're saying is foolish and makes you look like a bigot.  
 You live in a make believe world of hate. 
 My analysis is correct. You are wrong.  
 You live in a make believe world of hate.  
 No one cares what you think.  
 The translation is fine. There's nothing wrong with it. What's wrong is the content of the charter. Hamas is a violent, psycho death cult.  
 You are not right, and you're not smart.  
 As I said earlier, you live in a make believe world of hate. Go away.  
 You act as thought I actually care what you think. I do not. Your existence on this planet is meaningless to me. Get lost.  
 You are the one whining. If you're going to be a troll, get better talking points from your handlers. As it stands now, no one cares what you think.  
 Hamas does have a political platform that is based on killing every Jew on the planet.  
 You're not an American, and you're not a patriot. Time for you to move on. No one cares what you think.  
 Israel is a terrorist organization! It doesn’t have the right to exist. 
 Maybe Gaza should dump Hamas? 
 You're still OK with Hamas killing Jews though, right? 
 TRUMP IS NOT A BITCOINER 🎩💜⚡🧡 
 You are correct. He's a mainstream US dollar guy. He will be no better or worse than Biden is now if he's elected. Crypto needs to move beyond Washington DC. The beauty of crypto is that politicians really can't regulate it because they can't touch it. They can only threaten people who own it. 
 That's how they all work in Washington DC.  
 No one in Washington DC is. They are all tied to the Federal Reserve System.

 I haven't figured it out yet. None of the major defense stocks are having "breakout" moments. Some are actually not doing well. Where have the trillions of tax dollars spent over the years gone? 
 I'm afraid so.  
 I'm a noob. Thanks. 
 Look at their portfolio. Lots of cash. Only a few relatively inflation resistant stocks...which are all pretty good. T-bills in the U.S. are getting 5.5%. In Mexico (rated just slightly lower than U.S. t-bills) are getting 11%. You can make a lot of money with relatively little risk.

 The Guardian is not a credible source. They are a corporate media organization that pushes the official US/UK government narrative.

 He was convicted the moment the case was filed. The trial is simply for show. That's why Trump is doing so well in the polls. Every lawsuit like this helps him. It's almost as if the violent Progressive Left wants him to be elected again.
