Belt and Road initiative ($124B) is an extension of the Chinese debt ponzi scheme where by non market infrastrucutre projects are financed by state owned banks that fund state owned enterprises that don’t often turn a profit from the projects, causing the PBOC in turn to order the banks to extend the loans, recharacterize them as equity or simply lend the SOEs more money.
The QUAD a U.S. led group to support, not counter China’s initiative?
From Reuters “China might build a port which, on its own is not economically viable. We could make it economically viable by building a road or rail line linking that port.”
U.S. Backs Japan’s 2017 “Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy” that includes infrastructure build.

Actually they wont try to stop it, rather co-opt it- Litepay is offering a litecoin visa card. Ten X a visa card with dozens of crypto currencies on it.

correct but they allow it – because they make fees- that is all they care about
Cryptos are only a threat if people use them INSTEAD BUT no merchant in their right mind is going to price in bitcoin or accept it- they want $'s -that is where payment processors and Visa come in— Smaulgld (@Smaulgld) February 19, 2018

— Smaulgld (@Smaulgld) February 19, 2018
The bankers' lawyers & accountants want the ICO professional services fees. Silicon Valley also want the VC cut of ICOs- THEY are lobbying too for sensible crypto regulation- Recent Senate SEC and CFTC testimony indicates they are not interesting in banning cryptos, just fraud
— Smaulgld (@Smaulgld) February 19, 2018
One side- #gold/#silver fanatics insist the government is going to help them and ban cryptos
The other side- #bitcoin fanatics insist the government is powerless to stop bitcoin and will destroy central banks
The correct side- both are wrong. Cryptos will grow under CBs/govts— Smaulgld (@Smaulgld) February 19, 2018

Good distinction in the analogy- P2P file sharing was not only stepping on the corporations' turf, it was ALSO breaking the law. Cryptos while they present a threat to banks, unless they are engaged in fraud are not breaking any known laws
