Bitcoin now legal tender in El Salvador, first nation to adopt cryptocurrency:
On Wednesday, El Salvador’s president signed into law a proposal to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, making the Central American nation the first in the world to officially use the cryptocurrency.
The new law says that companies must accept bitcoin as a form of payment, and the government will allow people to pay taxes with it as well. The exchange rate with the dollar will be set by the market, and exchanges from dollars to bitcoin won’t be subject to capital gains tax. The law was passed by a supermajority vote of the legislature, with 62 of 84 deputies assenting.

Get past the myth of bankers (Jews) being behind the invasions at least. Banks and monetary policy are just another tool, they can be used to make war as well as peace. The petrodollar stuff is just another political delineation, a financial signal of alignment.

The vast majority of banks by assets controlled don't control any currency.
I could not parse that sentence, could you reword it?
