Quote by Oscar Wilde

“What gain would you get? Money? We have no need for that! And money that comes from a tainted source is degradation. Power? But power is nothing in itself. It is power to do good that is fine — that, and that only.”

“It is sad that our reality sounds like a conspiracy theory. Who would have ever thought that our very own people we elected, our very own government and media . They colluded with greedy people and are the ones behind our sufferings, unemployment, crime, troubles, killings, murder, poverty, infection, pandemic, sickness, failure and death . They made us think we are crazy and are making things up. Meanwhile they are the ones who are corrupt to the core. They are villains not victims. They create problems for us so they can try to come up with solutions that can make them profit.”

“We begin with the story of the greatest conqueror in history, a conqueror possessed of extreme tolerance and adaptability, thereby turning people into ardent disciples. This conqueror is money. For thousands of years, philosophers, thinkers and prophets have besmirched money and called it the root of all evil. Be that as it may, money is also the apogee of human tolerance. Money is more open-minded than language, state laws, cultural codes, religious beliefs and social habits. Money is the only trust system created by humans that can bridge almost any cultural gap, and that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, race, age or sexual orientation. Thanks to money, even people who don’t know each other and don’t trust each other can nevertheless cooperate effectively.”

“Crypto Cryptid by Stewart Stafford There's no point in hunting beasts, When you're the game you seek, Idle trigger finger behind the gun, Leave carcasses rotting in the sun. Billions springing from blood; From gushing oil to a crypto flood, Cutthroat games played to the hilt, Philanthropy, as rich boy's guilt. Bought your justice and rude health, Faux angelic in Faustian wealth, Scalpel wielded for everything's price, Trophy mansions rank with vice. © Stewart Stafford, 2023. All rights reserved.”

“Most of the time. When they decide to speak up or cry out loud. It is not about them seeking justice, but it is about the money. It is about them getting what they think they are owed. Them getting what they want and their way. It is not about the truth, right or wrong. Because of that they make it hard for real victims to be assisted and get help and justice.”
