The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly approved the first spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), signifying significant progress in the integration of cryptocurrency into mainstream financial markets.

You can debate over its final form factor, but one thing that is not up for debate is that the biblical Mark of the Beast we see in Revelation 13 is an implantable device that controls the buying and selling of goods and services on the global market. Simply put, the Mark is an human-implantable object that functions like a debit card, and you use it in exactly the same way. One main difference is that, without the Mark, you will not be allowed access to the global financial system. Bitcoin and crypto are part of the bridge between the end of the Church Age and the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble. The SEC just approved its first-ever spot bitcoin EFT, and Bob’s your uncle.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

If you’ve been paying even scant attention, you have noticed the following things to be true by now. 1). the world is run on the internet, 2). the people of the world are intractably connected to their mobile devices, 3). those devices are powered by apps, and 4). just about everyone is already buying and selling digitally. A quick look in Webster’s 1828 dictionary tells you that the word crypt means “A subterranean cell or cave, especially under a church for the interment of persons; also, a subterranean chapel or oratory, and the grave of a martyr.” So cryptocurrency is connected to the grave of dead Tribulation saints who will refuse the Mark for obvious reasons, and be killed as martyrs.

SEC Approves First Spot Bitcoin ETFs, Signaling Major Shift in Crypto Regulation

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Financial Times reports the Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent decision to approve spot bitcoin ETFs marks a significant change in the commission’s stance on cryptocurrency. The approval of eleven ETFs from a combination of established financial organizations and digital finance newcomers has cleared the path for a more regulated and accessible route for investing in bitcoin.

Jad Comair, CEO of Melanion Capital – the first company to launch a Bitcoin-themed ETF in the EU – highlighted the significance of this move, stating, “It’s a huge milestone; it’s recognition of bitcoin being a large-scale traditional investment. We’re opening the doors to Wall Street.”

For nearly a decade, the regulator has been resistant to approving such ETFs due to concerns around the susceptibility of cryptocurrencies to manipulation and fraud. However, last year, the crypto asset manager Grayscale successfully challenged the SEC’s rejection of an earlier spot bitcoin application, and a federal appeals court ruled in August that the decision was “arbitrary and capricious.”

This ruling put pressure on the SEC to reevaluate their stance, ultimately leading to their recent decision to approve spot bitcoin ETFs.

Cathie Wood of Ark Invest, emphasizing the goal of accessibility, mentioned, “We want to make sure that we provide access and make it as accessible as possible… We are not looking to maximize profits on this. We’ve got other actively managed products that will help us.”

In a new approach, these funds will use cash to create and redeem new shares, differing from the usual practice of in-kind transactions involving their underlying assets​​. With the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs, U.S. investors can now have direct exposure to bitcoin through a regulated product, mitigating risks associated with unregulated exchanges and the higher costs of bitcoin futures ETFs. This development is expected to add a new vitality to the most popular and liquid crypto token, with the U.S. joining other markets in offering investment in bitcoin. READ MORE

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Innovation Center, or NYIC, announced that it would be launching a 12-week proof-of-concept pilot for a central bank digital currency, or CBDC.

Back in March, we told you how pretend president Joe Biden signed an Executive Order to set the table to create a United States Central Bank Digital Currency. Today comes the announcement that the New World Order is sending representatives from assorted global banking conglomerates to begin as 12-week pilot program at the Federal Reserve of New York. What does all this mean? It means we just got another giant step closer to the biblical Mark of the Beast which will control all financial transactions.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17 (KJB)

Is it just me, or is it another one of those ‘strange coincidences’ that at the very time one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, FTX, has been mysteriously put out of business the announcement is made of the establishment of a pilot program to create a US digital currency? Sure is funny how that stuff works, isn’t it? They are calling it the CBDC, I am calling it MOTB, which is ultimately what it will end up being. And you can bet your digital ‘bottom dollar’ that’ll happen exactly as Revelation says it will.

NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY ON WHAT THE MARK OF THE BEAST ACTUALLY IS!!

New York Federal Reserve launches 12-week CBDC pilot program with major banks

FROM COINTELEGRAPH: In a Nov. 15 announcement, the New York Fed said the program would explore the feasibility of an “interoperable network of central bank wholesale digital money and commercial bank digital money operating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger” on a regulated liability network. Banking giants including BNY Mellon, Citi, HSBC, Mastercard, PNC Bank, TD Bank, Truist, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo will be participating in the pilot by issuing tokens and settling transactions through simulated central bank reserves.

“The NYIC looks forward to collaborating with members of the banking community to advance research on asset tokenization and the future of financial market infrastructures in the U.S. as money and banking evolve,” said NYIC Director Per von Zelowitz.

The proof-of-concept project will test the “technical feasibility, legal viability, and business applicability” of distributed ledger technology, as well as simulate tokens and explore regulatory frameworks. The NY Fed said the project could “potentially be extended to multi-currency operations and regulated stablecoins.”

The launch of the NYIC pilot project followed the center releasing research on its wholesale central bank digital currency program on Nov. 4. The first phase of the CBDC trial, dubbed Project Cedar, tested foreign exchange spot trades to determine whether a blockchain solution could improve “speed, cost, and access to cross-border wholesale payments.”

Federal regulators in the United States have not reached any consensus on whether to launch a digital dollar in the country, but agencies and those in the private sector have been exploring the possibility. Following U.S. President Joe Biden issuing an executive order aimed at establishing a framework on digital assets, some lawmakers questioned what Congress’ role might be in passing legislation in support of a CBDC and how a digital dollar might curtail similar innovations from the private sector.

What is the connection between sending billions in aid to Ukraine, FTX Crypto, and the stunning upset the Democrats enjoyed in last week’s Midterm Elections?

The main stream media is doing their best to not talk about the stunning apparent connection between the Democrats sending billions in ‘aid’ to Ukraine, Ukraine sending boatloads of cash to FTX Crypto, and FTX sending to much money to the Democrat Party that they are second only to George Soros as the largest donor. If this was happening to the Republican Party, it would already be a 5-part miniseries on Netflix. But because it impacts the ‘big guy’ Joe Biden and the Democrats, it’s being swept under the proverbial rug. And what an “amazing coincidence!!!” that after the Democrats score a totally unexpected win in the Midterms, FTX gets thrown under the bus and goes bankrupt. But I’m sure that’s not an alleged indicator of alleged backroom dirty dealings and then allegedly trying to destroy the alleged evidence or anything.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJB)

If the Republicans were smart, they’re not, but if they were they would immediately quit whining about ‘stolen elections’, and immediately start laying plans to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop, the connection between FTX and Ukraine, the connection between FTX and the Democrats, Biden’s policies on crypto, and the list goes on. If the Republicans don’t get back to the ‘people’s business’, it will be a long time before they win another election. Any other election. America needs to be governed the way DeSantis governs Florida, we don’t need any more MAGA QAnon nonsense. But what America really needs is Jesus Christ.

Cryptocurrency billionaire broke the bank for Dems

FROM THE NY POST: Amid all the jubilation and gloating by Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and pals over the Democrats’ better-than-expected showing in the midterms comes a disturbing story that may explain something about how they won such a curious election. Biden’s second-biggest donor, cryptocurrency billionaire wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried, a k a SBF, saw his business file for bankruptcy days after the election, but not before pumping $40 million into the Democratic Party to spend on “get-out-the-vote” and other shadowy ballot-harvesting mechanics for the midterms.

The shambolic 30-year-old whiz kid, once said to have been worth $16 billion, had spent $10 million helping get Biden elected in 2020.

SBF’s mother, Stanford law professor Barbara Fried, also is co-founder of left-wing political action committee Mind The Gap, which has raised a reported $140 million to help Democrats win elections through the same “get-out-the-vote” grift.

More Democrats Alleged Dirty Dealings

A more unlikely billionaire you could not find — and of course his money was built on thin air. A math genius with poor social skills, SBF reportedly lived in a “polycule” — a polyamorous relationship with multiple people — in a luxury penthouse with about 10 co-workers in the tax haven of the Bahamas, where his collapsed crypto exchange FTX was headquartered. Otherwise, he was sleeping on beanbags in his office, eating vegan fries and, according to his own Twitter feed, popping amphetamines and sleeping pills to regulate his chaotic sleeping habits.

Now Reuters is reporting that between $1 billion and $2 billion of customer funds have vanished from FTX, conveniently after the Democrats safely spent his money.

At last report, SBF and his mysterious co-founder, Gary Wang, were being held “under supervision” by Bahamian authorities after reportedly planning to flee to Dubai, according to fintech publication Cointelegraph. SBF certainly “impacted” the midterms, funneling his millions into the Democratic National Committee and Democrat-friendly PACs such as Protect Our Future and Guarding Against Pandemics.

He donated to committees aligned with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to help Democrats win races. He lavished his largesse on “pro-crypto Democrats” like New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who was sponsoring a bill to lock the Securities and Exchange Commission out of regulating the crypto market.

He also visited the White House, meeting with top Biden adviser Steve Ricchetti on April 22 and May 12, according to the Washington Free Beacon. No wonder the Biden administration has been weak on regulating the crypto market. It was the goose that laid the golden egg. READ MORE
