Edward Snowden - The Next Threat to Speech - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2024

Yes, and the sort of 'force for positive change' they exert, ought to be the new definition of 'POWER'. Most powers that ought not be these days, need to learn some stand-under tactics!

FYI, I remember when Snowden said ALL crypto was a Ponzi and scam and had no use whatsoever. He even stated that crypto would fail. How has that worked out? .......Either people haven't been around long enough to know this or they have simply forgotten. Snowden is NOT a credible or reliable source of information.

[@SlippingFlipping]

first time listening to snowden and I am 150% now certain that I am not crazy thinking my country is falling, and the world is changing, and the dollar is also degrading. I struggle sometimes on how can I get myself to believe this narrative which everyone is talking about except US but for EU I'm assuming, but I had many similar situation like this but of course for different reasons , but 1 thing that is different this time is my feelings, what I am hearing, what I am watching. Even if I just wanted to close my eyes and join to accept what our media tell us every single day and night I just couldn't. My strong feelings just would not allow me to redefine my morals, knowledge, experience, lies and truth, deception and contradictions, which would be going against all of it. Snowden said 2 things when asked about changing world and during his early opening statement. He said I really don't want to endorse anything. Basically not become a victim of you are russian agent or chinese paid actor, and etc.. we all know the trend today, but I knew what he was implying clearly. Than at the end he said freedom for all country, a new system, which clearly he was talking about the multipolar world we are in.

Yes you're not wrong the WEF selected him for their YGL program. That doesn't mean he is one of them by trade though, if that were the case we'd have seen intelligence agencies globally invade & surveil telegram years ago at a much greater scale, making Macrons move nil. Just because they selected him, doesn't mean he was all in on their agenda. Alas it also doesn't mean he isn't a controversial figure nonetheless, especially considering he never supported full E2EE.

Poetic irony that one of the greatest Americans is in forced exile in Russia. That speaks volumes.

[@musiqtee]

Thanks, vital and agreeable insights! However, one slight disagreement at 21:04 on “deficit spending”. A state with the ability to issue (trusted) currency, will not need to “steal savings” to pay for the war. The central bank makes the money, it doesn’t “earn” it. During WW2 this _was_ done to strangle both buying power and inflation, and direct production & work towards the war effort. The monetary side got its fix through the Breton Woods agreement - no speculation between “western” currencies. Fiscally, rationing books/tokens took over the value of money for basic needs. All competition gone, price gouging became impossible - because those tokens were a fixed number to the individual, unlike money. This doesn’t take away Snowden’s main point. But it should reveal that “money” isn’t always what we believe them to be for power - whether in block chains or as physical cash.
