JPMorgan to open more than 500 new bank branches over next three years

By Nupur Anand

NEW YORK (Reuters) – JPMorgan Chase said on Tuesday it was embarking on one of its most aggressive bank branch expansions in recent years, with plans to add more than 500 new U.S. locations by 2027 to broaden its footprint in areas where it is under-represented.

The multi-billion dollar investment will see it open new branches in places including Boston, Charlotte, the area surrounding Washington D.C., Minneapolis and Philadelphia, the bank said.

It did not specify the exact amount of the investment.

JPMorgan’s aggressive expansion strategy comes as some other lenders have been shrinking their presence. The number of active branches in the U.S. totaled 77,690 after 123 closures and 80 openings in the month of October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

JPMorgan had the largest network at the end of 2023 with 4,897 branches. Rival Bank of America, which has also been adding new branches, had 3,845 at the end of December.

Buoyed by resilient consumers while bringing in more income from clients’ interest payments as the Federal Reserve raised borrowing costs, JPMorgan made a record annual profit in 2023.

The bank’s new branches will typically have a consultative area for customers to have a private conversation and will not use the teller line as the main focal point, Chase Consumer Banking CEO Jennifer Roberts told Reuters.

“Our branch network is one of the key reasons that customer open accounts with us and it has helped us attract deposits,” Roberts said. “We really view our branches as a storefront for the entire company and it is an anchor for us to expand our relationship with customers as we aim to be their primary financial partner.”

Marianne Lake, JPMorgan’s CEO of consumer and community banking, said at an investor conference in December that the bank was continuing to invest in its branch network and had a less than 5% branch share in 17 of the top 50 markets where it is trying to expand.

In the last five years the bank had added 650 new branches, Lake said during its investor day presentation last May.

She was appointed the sole CEO of the consumer division last month, which she previously ran together with Jennifer Piepszak.

The lender also plans to renovate nearly 1,700 of its other existing branches in the U.S. and will be hiring 3,500 more employees for its branch network. The bank had 309,926 employees worldwide at the end of December, higher than any of its peers.

JPMorgan also plans to close an additional 30 branches out of the nearly 60 that it has acquired during the First Republic Bank takeover last year, Roberts said. First Republic had 84 branches in eight states, and soon after the acquisition JPMorgan had announced it would shut about 21 of those.

The lender is also working to overhaul more than 20 of the First Republic locations into JPMorgan branches that will be distinct in branding and design compared to its Chase branches and aimed at its affluent clients, the bank said.

Chinese New Year Starts Saturday Feb.10th

February 10 brings the start of the Lunar New Year and the year of the Yang Wood Dragon! The Dragon is one of the most auspicious signs in the Chinese zodiac because of its ability to swim, fly, walk on land, and travel between between dimensions.

The dragon represents power and courage, but is also a symbol of peace. This is a good year for daring moves, finding your strength, and new beginnings.   The Year of the Yang Wood Dragon is a fantastic time to start a new business or to begin growing and expanding your hopes and dreams. It is a year to push your horizons and be a little more daring.

Confidence will be on our side, and especially if we are leading with the heart, we are likely to create a lot of success.

Opening ourselves to receiving, and recognizing the value we offer are also big themes this year. It seems we are being guided to love ourselves more deeply and to celebrate all that we have to offer.

We are in the Spring season of our lives this year, and under the Dragon, we can sharpen our skills, tap into greater wisdom, and find the bravery needed to live the life of our dreams. Technology, AI, and creative industries will benefit the most from this year’s energies.

A New Economic Landscape: The Declining Role Of The Petrodollar : Awake-In-3D

A New Economic Landscape: The Declining Role Of The Petrodollar

On February 6, 2024 By Awake-In-3D

In Fiat Debt System Collapse

The global economic landscape is on the cusp of a monumental shift as key oil-producing nations, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, are increasingly eyeing the Chinese yuan over the US dollar for oil trades.

This has considerably critical implications for not just for the oil market, but for the broader global economy, particularly impacting the US dollar’s global standing.

The Dollar’s Diminishing Dominance

The US dollar has long been the core currency of the global oil market, a status that has significantly bolstered its strength and stability on the world stage.

Also see: The Global Financial/Economic Landscape Transforming for a RESET – Here’s Why

However, the shift towards the yuan, and other currencies, for oil trades would trigger a decrease in global reliance on the dollar, which would have severe implications.

Dramatic Economic Consequences for the U.S.

• Impact on Dollar Exchange Rates: A decrease in the global demand for the US dollar for oil trades could lead to a depreciation in its value. This devaluation could affect everything from the cost of imports and exports to the financial strategies of multinational corporations.

• Reduced Demand for US Treasuries: The US dollar’s strength and stability have traditionally made US Treasury bonds a highly attractive investment for foreign governments and investors. A shift away from the dollar in oil trade could reduce this demand, potentially increasing interest rates in the US as the Treasury may have to offer higher yields to attract buyers.

• Escalating US Inflation: The decreased demand for the dollar will lead to increased inflation in the US. As the dollar’s value drops, it would become more expensive to import goods, contributing to rising prices domestically.

• Challenges in Exporting US Debt: A significant advantage for the US has been its ability to export its debt, borrowing money at relatively low interest rates due to the high demand for its debt instruments globally. A reduced demand for the dollar will disrupt this ability, leading to higher borrowing costs for the US government.

• Global Economic Realignments: This shift might not only affect the US but will also lead to broader economic realignments. As countries adapt to new trading currencies, we will see significant changes in global trade partnerships and financial alliances.

What Does This Mean for the Average Person?

While these developments might seem distant, they will impact everyday life. From changes in gas prices to fluctuations in the stock market, the ripple effects of a shift in the global oil trade currency will reach the pockets of both consumers and investors alike.

While the full extent of these changes remains to be seen, the growing shift away from the US dollar in global oil trade signifies a major economic realignment with far-reaching implications.

Understanding the dynamics at play and their possible impacts is key to navigating this new economic terrain.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 7 Feb. 2024

Compiled Wed. 7 Feb. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note:

The Global Financial System and it’s Central Banks were now officially bankrupt.

All countries have been declared bankrupt. The IME, UN, World Bank, WEF, etc. were now considered defunct corporations without any Sovereignty. To function as an independent Sovereign nation with their own gold/ asset-backed currency, the different countries needed to register with the Archivists and Hall of Records via Ground Command and/or revised Global Intelligence Agency (GIA) structures. Some nations already have, and been accepted into the BRICS Alliance.

The Global Financial Crash has remained unreported by the Mainstream Media: Banks were dying: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/05/gold-prices-to-hit-2200-and-outperformance-awaits-silver-says-ubs.html

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Tuesday Evening 2-6-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

“Chinese authorities told state-owned banks to step up intervention in the currency market this week, in a push to prevent a surge in yuan volatility, according to people familiar with the matter.”

In 2023 until now, The People's Bank of China has been manipulating their currency exchange rate more than usual. As the dollar has become more unstable, their State Banks have stepped up to the plate to buy some of their assets from the markets themselves to stabilize the Yuan.

Several tools have been utilized to control their currency fluctuations as of late, and the Exchange Stabilization Fund has been called in to assess the situation and give them supportive direction. "China academic calls for US $1.4 trillion stock stabilisation fund."

As the global wars continue to expand, the volatility of all the Global Markets are beginning to create havoc in the foreign currency exchange markets. Currency interventions like these are common during wartime efforts.

This is why old play books no longer apply when distortions in the market begin to affect economic stability and job creation opportunities.

The BRICS Nations, of which China belongs, sets them apart through a backing of gold to support their local currencies. These efforts adds to the net worth of a country's revenue holdings.

The use of gold to stabilize currency exchange rates and demand bring in greater value in exchange processes between countries.

As Global wars continue to expand, you can expect a rise in volatility inside the Markets and Forex. Old contracts between nations may no longer hold accurate trade values going forward. Look for gold and other Exchange Stabilization Fund interventions to come into play.

There is a good reason why stablecoins were left until last to be regulated. One, you have to have tokenized assets to pay for in using them. And two, you have to provide liquidity for these digital currencies that represent paper currencies inside a country's banking system.

When you back stablecoins by a real world asset such as gold and other commodities, these real values create standardized behaviors in the marketplace the banking system can correlate with economic tools designed to grow them in their liquidity i.e. staking. (See Article Below)

Restaking is a process where you commit your cryptos to aid in the development of a blockchain network. In return, you get a reward for staking and holding this asset in the network. CryptoSlate

Stablecoin expansion is bringing liquidity to crypto, but JPMorgan warns of challenges ahead

The stablecoin market cap is growing again, which is a good sign for crypto market liquidity, but it hasn't fully recovered and could face regulatory challenges this year, according to JPMorgan. Stablecoins expanded by $60 billion between their May 2022 peak and their October 2023 low of $122 billion.

The top came just before the collapse of the Terra network, which created the contagion that spread to other stablecoins and crypto lenders that year. But as investors anticipated the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S., the market expanded by $9 billion between October 2023 and January 2024.

This is generally a "positive sign" for crypto, according to JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou. "Stablecoins link the traditional financial system to the crypto ecosystem and by being the equivalent of 'cash' in the crypto ecosystem are both the 'lubricant' and major source of collateral," Panigirtzoglou said in note Thursday. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that have prices pegged to an underlying asset   Knowledia News

Vietnam is pushing the US to grant it 'market economy' status.

"A market economy is a type of economic system where supply and demand regulate the economy, rather than government intervention."

A market economy would allow supply and demand to determine the value of the following criteria in their economy:

* degree of currency convertibility

* degree of salary determination by negotiation between employers and employees

* degree of freedom for foreign companies’ investment

* degree of ownership or production methods of enterprises controlled

As you can see, this change would open up a path for new exchange rates in Vietnam. Vietnam has a strong indication that these changes will be made before the next election in the US.

LONDON (Reuters) - A new report has called for a radical global effort this year to help vulnerable countries fend off financial meltdown and climate change, including widespread debt relief and even a China-led version of the Brady Bond plan.

The report by the Boston University Global Development Policy Center warned that 62 developing economies, including most of Africa and Oceania, are already in a full-blown debt crisis or in immediate need of restructurings.

Last year's surge in world interest rates combined with underwhelming post-pandemic economic recoveries and the costs of climate change mean a near record number of countries now spend at least 20% of their government revenues servicing their debt.

That is widely regarded as unsustainable.    US News

One of the most touted benefits of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for securities is atomic settlement. This is the blockchain equivalent of delivery versus payment (DvP) – the securities and cash are exchanged simultaneously, preventing either of the parties from being out of pocket if the other side defaults.

However, it’s also known to impose higher cash or liquidity requirements on the counterparties, eliminating the benefit.

He also expresses that we are currently in an era worse than the 1930s, marked by wars, riots, droughts, food shortages, and market crashes.

Dohmen further advises people to email their Congress representatives to oppose detrimental legislation.

2/6/2024   Baghdad

The economic expert, Alaa Al-Fahd, on Tuesday accused those with discordant votes of inciting the street and the media against private banks to harm the national economy.

Al-Fahd said in a televised interview followed by Mawazine News, “These parties spread rumors that there are banking problems in the private sector in Iraq and that there is chaos and fraud,” pointing out that on “the ground there is nothing tangible from these rumours.”

He added, "Private banks began working since 2023 in financial development and transformation within a transitional phase from paper to electronic phase."

Al-Nusairi said in a televised interview followed by Mawazine News, “The Iraqi private and public banking market is facing malicious rumors, as certain parties are exaggerating security and political problems for the purpose of striking the national economy.”

 He added, "The conspiracy against the Iraqi economy aims to abort the Iraqi government's efforts to improve economic transfers, deal with the dollar, and complete the economic exchange platform project to finance foreign trade."

 He pointed out that "the Central Bank and the government are continuing with reform plans, especially the paragraphs of the government program to prevent dollar smuggling and support the private banking sector."   LINK

Mnt Goat    ...I talked to my CBI contact...I was told the rate will be determined just as it has been determined all along by the new asset backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) now in place. It was put in place from 2011-2012 and now running daily. Only technically they have not yet linked or mapped these new rates into the foreign currency exchanges as of yet. This is what we are waiting for. Not all the rates will come over at once and many call them “baskets” or “groups” of currencies. The plan is for the years to come to slowly roll out these new rates and map them to the foreign exchanges as the new market rates...   [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat  ...the rate will be whatever it is in the QFS system when the time comes to reinstate it.  This will be the starting rate. All they need to do is bring it over to FOREX by mapping it from the QFS. It is a simple process.  It will most likely be around $3-$4 when it does come out...Yes, when the IQD rate does come out, it could vary but only a drastic change in the price of oil will affect it. However, the projection is for the price of oil to hover around $70-90 this year which will still produce an IQD rate well within the range we investors want...  [Post 2 of 2]

The Fed Asks America To Fill In The Blanks _______

The Fed Asks America To Fill In The Blanks _______

Notes From The Field By Simon Black (James Hickman)  February 5, 2024 

It’s interesting to see how so many mainstream voices are starting to express concern about the gargantuan size of the US national debt.

For most of the past decade, even as the debt spiraled out of control and passed $20 trillion, $25 trillion, $30 trillion, etc., hardly anyone in the media said a word about it. If anything, they would insist that the ‘debt doesn’t matter.’

That tune is finally starting to change. And the latest example came last night when 60 Minutes interviewed the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell.

The US national debt now stands at more than $34 trillion. It will surpass $35 trillion by the summer and likely $36 trillion by the end of the year.

It’s growing so quickly that the interviewer asked about the debt, “Thirty years from now, it is projected to be $144 trillion. . . [I]s the national debt a danger to the economy in your view? I have the sense this worries you very much.”

The answer to almost any sentient human being, of course, is “absolutely yes.” And the Fed Chairman admitted as such. Sort of. He said:

“In the long run, the US is on an unsustainable fiscal path. . . Over the long run, of course it does [worry me very much] . . . It’s time for us to get back to putting a priority on fiscal sustainability. And sooner is better than later.”

Now a term like “the long run” is a funny thing because it can mean just about anything. To some people in finance and economics, “the long run” can mean five years. To others, fifty years.

Saying “the long run” is like asking your audience to fill in the blanks with whatever timeframe they think that means.

But this is intellectually dishonest… and it frankly makes the country worse off.

We’ve written about this extensively here at Schiff Sovereign: the US government’s own internal projections (which come from the White House and the Congressional Budget Office) forecast that the debt will increase by $20 trillion over the next decade.

And this is a true crisis in the making.

Consider that, by 2033, the government will have to spend 100% of federal tax revenue simply to pay for THREE things: Social Security, Medicare, and Interest on the Debt.

EVERYTHING else in government, including military spending, veterans’ benefits, and the electricity bill at the White House, will have to be funded with more debt… which only makes the problem worse.

This will be a fiscal black hole from which there is no escape. And it’s less than 10 years away.

We’re not being sensationalist or dramatic here; this is a simple arithmetic problem based on the government’s own projections. And frankly those projections are optimistic.

Their estimate for $20 trillion in new debt, for example, does not include any money for Social Security, which will require a multi-trillion-dollar bailout over the next decade. Their estimate also assumes there will be no war, no new pandemic, no national emergency, and no new idiotic, expensive legislation.

So, a more conservative estimate of the national debt is probably closer to $60 trillion or more by 2033. This means that interest payments on the national debt will take a greater and greater share of tax revenue.

The Congressional Budget Office forecasts admit this, stating that as the national debt increases, “the cost of financing the nation’s debt grows, [and] net outlays for interest increase substantially. . .”

The US government’s interest expense “rose by 35% last year, [and] are projected to increase by 35% again this year.”

No institution, not even the US government, can possibly expect to stay solvent when their interest expense grows by large double digits each year.

Now, it’s not like this is top secret information. The Congressional Budget Office posts this forecast on its website for the entire world to see. Surely the Fed has access to the Internet. Surely, they’ve seen these projections.

Yet the way 60 Minutes set up its question-- by referencing the debt 30 years into the future-- to how the Fed Chairman kept saying “the long run” and “sooner is better than later”, all gives people a false sense of security that the US has more time to resolve this crisis than it actually does.

This is an arithmetic problem, plain and simple. And the realistic window of opportunity to solve it is 5-7 years, at most.

The other disingenuous part about the Chairman’s comments was that, in addition to using terms like “the long run”, he encouraged “fiscal sustainability” without mentioning any specifics.

To some, “fiscal sustainability” might mean slashing welfare programs. To others, raising taxes on corporations and wealthy people.

So once again the Fed Chairman tacitly asked the audience to fill in the blanks and imagine for themselves what “fiscal sustainability” means.

This is also intellectually dishonest.

Social Security is, by far, the #1 most expensive line item in the federal budget. It dwarfs even Defense spending.

So, there is no “fiscal sustainability” at this point without making major cuts to Social Security. Nothing else-- no other budget cuts-- will matter unless there is a complete overhaul of retirement benefits and qualifications. It’s the only real lever the government has to balance the budget.

Ultimately this means defaulting on decades of promises that the US government has made to people currently in the work force.

Naturally no one wants to talk about this… including the Fed Chairman. So again, it’s left to the audience’s imagination to fill in the blanks.

Personally, I’m not holding my breath a solid majority in Congress will have the willingness and courage to cut entitlements. And frankly I presume the Inspired Idiots in charge will keep making things worse.

But the good news is that there is still a reasonable window for any independent-minded individual to take completely rational steps to reduce the consequences of what lies ahead.

And we’ll continue to talk about more of these solutions in the future.

Tishwash:  An “intractable problem” prevents the oil and gas law from being removed from Parliament

Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Ali Al-Lami, expected on Tuesday that the oil and gas law would not be approved in the current parliamentary session, indicating that the dispute over the law concerns the party responsible for managing the oil fields in Kurdistan.

Al-Lami told Shafaq News Agency, “The oil and gas law is one of the important laws, but it will not pass in the current parliamentary session, and this law will be transferred to the next parliamentary session, as it was transferred in previous sessions.”

He added, "There are many disagreements over the oil and gas law, including political disagreements and technical disagreements, and the most prominent of them is over the party that manages the oil fields in the Kurdistan Region and who exports the region's oil abroad," stressing that "this main disagreement has not been resolved and will not be resolved due to the deepening political disagreements regarding this is the law".

Al-Lami continued: “The oil and gas law cannot be separated into two laws, one of which is concerned with oil and the other with gas, given that the gas comes out of the same oil fields, and the two laws cannot be separated, as the dispute is the same without a solution.”  link

Tishwash:  Al-Nusairi calls on the government and the Central Bank to protect the banking system from collapse

Today, Tuesday, the economic and banking advisor to the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Samir Al-Nusairi, called on the government and the central bank to intervene to protect the banking system from collapse, while counting the number of private banks that are not practicing their commercial activities.

Al-Nusairi said in a televised interview followed by Al-Eqtisad News, “The government and the central bank must intervene to protect the banking system from collapse due to subjective and objective political influences and tensions and the US Treasury’s continued pressure on the Iraqi economy and harming it through previous sanctions and new restrictions to prevent it from conducting its transactions in the US dollar on Despite the efforts made by the Central Bank during 2023 in cooperation with the government and international banks to regulate foreign trade financing and with the Financial Action Organization.”

He added, "International organizations confirm in their evaluation reports on Iraq that it has applied standards for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. This means that our banks are strictly committed to international standards and are trying with great efforts to comply with the global system."

Al-Nusairi explained, “The number of private banks that are no longer practicing all their banking activities has reached 32 commercial and Islamic banks, which constitute 50% of the volume of banking activity in Iraq. Therefore, this will destabilize confidence in the Iraqi banking sector locally and internationally, and thus will fail the plans for economic reform, and thus will harm our national economy.” ".

The Association's advisor, the Prime Minister, and the Governor of the Central Bank, called for "intervention, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and conducting negotiations at the highest levels with the American side to remove our banks from the cycle of sanctions, deprivation, and restrictions on banking activity and for them to return to operating in full banking and Islamic activity while rehabilitating some banks in accordance with binding international standards." link

CandyKisses: Deputy: America is responsible for the crises of the dollar, oil, water and electric power

 Information / Baghdad.

On Tuesday, Firas al-Muslimawi, MP for the State of Law Coalition bloc, blamed the United States for causing a number of economic crises in Iraq, such as the rise in the dollar exchange rate, the oil crisis with Kurdistan and the water crisis .

Al-Muslimawi told Al-Maalouma that "Washington refuses to withdraw the Central Bank of Iraq its and is trying to impose more sanctions on private funds banks."

He described this American behavior as "besieging Iraq and strangling it economically, noting that "the United States refuses to conclude contracts with international companies in the field of energy and services."

Earlier, multiple political figures announced America's refusal to contract Iraq with the German energy company Siemens to rehabilitate the electrical system in Iraq.

The daily dollar auction has become a way of smuggling dollars for Iran, and this is expected to restrain much of those activities. This is part of the economic and financial reforms Iraq is going through to meet International Banking Standards and achieve International connectivity.

"A casual search through digests and the reading of case head- notes may leave the searcher with the vague impression that the outbreak of war has some peculiar effect upon contracts, not to be  accounted for by any of the well established principles of contract law.

Thus, it is frequently said that war suspends contracts and that the cessation of war revives the same.

On the other hand, it is stated elsewhere in no less positive terms that war dissolves and abrogates all contracts between subjects of belligerent nations.

An attempt will here be made to show that cases arising upon contracts affected by war may in fact be classified by an application of the broad principles of the common law relating to contracts."

We have said in this room a few times before that history has shown us that exchange rates change during wartime or soon after.

Price distortions create contract breaches between nations and even the people within the banking system. These distortions make it difficult for obligations to be met between all parties.

As we continue to involve ourselves in wars, the likelihood of more distortions will create a need to revalue assets and their real values when this is done.

This is a day by day situation, and changes can come at a moment's notice. It is important that we stay alert going forward for these changes.   https://www.jstor.org/stable/1111481

When we begin to move from quantitative tightening to quantitative easing through lower interest rates, this will begin to give room for technological advancement and an increase in gold prices.

This is the move we need to see to increase the value of our new tokenized assets coming onto the market. It will be our signal for increasing the value of our new digital asset based trading system.

Here, lending restrictions will lessen giving way to collateralized lending services whereby an digital asset growth economy will open a path forward into the new economy.  Forbes

As we discussed a few weeks back, Hong Kong was in the process of testing several digital currencies around the world in their sandbox.

A sandbox is a place where assets can be piloted, tested, and see how they will react with each other. We talked about how this would lead to regulation going forward on the stablecoins that were in this sandbox.

Below is an article for your perusal. It states how oversight and regulation is needed for their digital OTC or over the counter assets going forward. This is an indication that they are beginning to move forward with stablecoins that represent a country's currency.

While Powell said the Fed tries not to comment on fiscal policy, which is determined by Congress and the White House, he did comment on the debt. "The U.S. federal government's on an unsustainable fiscal path," he said. "And that just means that the debt is growing faster than the economy. So, it is unsustainable."  | CBS News

Feb 4 SDF Protocol20 update:  Post 1 of 2
Most of you know by now the P20 vote was delayed until Feb20 due to a "refundable fee bump bug" that was discovered just a few days before the intended public vote. But what yall probably don't know -- and what SDF wont say -- and what all those non-white hat Stellar devs & crypto journalists don't understand -- is the WHY behind the WHY of this delay

Issue:
Wallet sending transaction should get a certain fee refunded when a certain action takes place, but instead of the SENDER getting the refund, the RECEIVER is getting the refund

SDF's Initial Public narrative (to start the discussion):
It's not a big deal, and we don't think it will impact that many, but it could potentially impact everyone, but who knows it probably won't, and even if it does the resulting unintended lack of returned fees are not so significant, it's more of a nuisance than anything, but we don't want negative press because people are soooo complainy these days, so let's delay the vote and make things nice and clean.

Happy happy, no one can blame us for anything!

NON-QSFS Stellar dev discourse on Discord + Articles:
I think we should proceed with the vote, as you said it's not a big deal, so why delay? We will do what we can to mitigate the bug on our end for our app programming too. But the fees are so nominal it just doesn't matter at the end of the day if it's not fixed, but it would be nice if you eventually fixed it. kthxbai

Tomer Weller, KanayeNet, MonsieurNicolas forced to guide the direction:
nonono, I think it could really potentially impact more people than we thought because even wallets that are NOT "OFFICIALLY" supporting Soroban can still be affected 🤣🤣🤣 but really there is no worry if everyone decides to "DO THE RIGHT THING" AND NO ONE DECIDES TO EXPLOIT THIS to INTENTIONALLY DRAIN sender wallets

Justin Rice ninjas his way in:
ok at first I will just present the bug to the community and ask for your opinion while I stay totally neutral on this topic, next I will pretend that your opinions influenced our decision to delay, and finally I will pretend to be shocked the delay really happened since it was a nail-biter (even though I was already busy prepping to group call to discuss this AND writing another SDF blog post officially announcing said delay). oh BTW, thanks for the engagement and for working together to reach this consensus 😊

Feb 4 SDF Protocol20 update:  Post 2 of 2
Declas:
White Hats in charge behind the scenes carefully guided the convo in this direction using puppets like OrbitLens (remember: WHH March 2023 😂😂😂 relisten to WHH interview #1 @ min 17-19 "we have an informant"💥🔨 -- and undoubtedly more puppets by now too).

This is CRITICAL TO UNDERSTAND FOR PSYOPS BECAUSE THIS SAME STRATEGY IS BEING USED ON THE ENTIRE WORLD VIA MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

Recall how white hats now control Mockingbird Media (yes even especially FakeNewsMedia) so they decide which stories break and use it to guide public discourse to slowly awaken people to the past monstrosities and current ridiculousness of how fake everything is for the Awakening process

Now that you understand how hilarious this entire bug delay narrative is, let's go back and re-analyze with a clear mind and break down how the psyops works and what their end goal is:
