MarkZ [via PDK] I continue to hear from bond contacts that they were told they would conclude their transactions this coming week. They have been telling me that now for about 3 days. They are exceptionally hopeful that this movie is coming to an end and the roller coaster ride is almost over. I was always told when the bond holders get paid – currency folks...will go within 3-10 days.
Militia Man 1310 is not a traditional currency. What Iraq used to be is a 'previous era' from the old 'glory days', that was a traditional value. Is it going to be something like that? We're going to have to wait and see but obviously they're getting ready to show and launch a digital dinar in the country of Iraq.
