Embracing alternative currency schemes is always a risky thing, and considering that one of the major "benefits" is avoiding government observation it appears that one major use is hiding illegal and anti-society actions. Of course there is the ability of avoiding the manipulations of the huge banking interests, and that may be the sole actual legal benefit.
The reason that the stock market does not follow the economy so well is that it is based a lot on emotions, primarily fears, and emotions are seldom the best way to make many decisions, especially in business. Fear based on faulty and insufficient information or understanding is particularly a poor guide, but evidently the one chosen by many.
The intrinsic flaw of communism is that in actual implementation it puts power in the hands of a few folks, and unfortunately that power always corrupts them. Not always in the same manner, but it always corrupts. It is closely related to the UTOPIA theory, which teaches that somehow humanity can be forced into perfection by means of enough regulation. The illogic of that presumption should be obvious to all rational persons.
I found this article very interesting. The author makes good points and has worthwhile suggestions. Probably it would be benneficial to publish this article so that many more could read it.
The situation shows that oil trading on paper, especially futures, should be forced to be a cash only, NO CREDIT business. Speculating with borrowed money allows way too much risk-taking and a willingness to do damage to consumers.
Based on the initial wrong decisions made by many local and national governments it does not seem reasonable to assume that they are capable of making the right choices most of the time. So I certainly do not trust governments to make right choices initially.
At some point the poor choices of management should indeed be allowed to cause failure. Mother nature runs a hard school, but fools will not learn in another. Likewise in the business world. Sometimes greed should not be rewarded. "To big to allow to fail" is not a good concept.
I don't recall learning about a "whisper number" system back in economics 1, 2, or 3. Are folks afraid to speak out for fear of jinxing things? or just for fear. I see way more fear based choices than data based choices.
