Another tragic train accident happened in Greece last week. Two trains, one passenger and one freight train collided at high speed between Athens and Thessaloniki. According to several news outlets the reason for the incident was human error – a station master declared a blocked, red lit track for a delayed passenger train as passable, which at the end led to a tragic head on collision of two trains, killing close to about 60 people. The accident has led to demonstrations and a public outcry that the government is not doing enough for that particular sector. North America and Europe are almost at par with annual train accidents – 1700 in the US and 1400 annually in Europe; numbers that are quite surprising. In light of these high numbers it is even more surprising what certain internet sources now state as the reasoning for the lately many (?) occurring train accidents.

With the looming introduction of digital “money” (CBDC) the bank and its official campaign has a hard time downplaying their intent to switch to a digital fiat system on steroids. Meanwhile there is increasingly more news about the bank than some years ago. The crypto crowd is especially on high alert and is beating the libertarian sob drum since the switch would signal the end to their digital playground and “wealth” creator. As written in a 2021 article – the cryptomarket will eventually have to succumb to newer innovative applications. If it is not innovation …
