48 hr warning?

Take note of the nyse cosmetic glitch as well, caused by a climate control problem, similar to how hackers gained access to the server in the series Mr Robot that simulates a global financial crash caused by hackers. The finale to that show was mysteriously delayed Wednesday in tandem witht the miraculous rebound of stocks allegedly because the show depicted a live on air reporter shooting just like the one that occurred Wednesday along with the uptick in the markets.

All very odd.

Went to Wallyworld tonight @ 5pm local in Dayton to return a redbox dvd, get beer, and burger buns... swiped the CC. didn't work. "Sir, you need to use the chip!". Two weeks ago it (my cc has the NEW chip) wasn't working at walmart, and now all of a sudden my new security feature works? wtf.

Odd coincidence but I had to use chip instead of swipe today at Sam's - first time - Maryland here

This reminded me of what happened the other day, I got a new debit card with that chip on the front of it from my bank not too long ago, when I used it yesterday on the ATM the screen said it "detected a chip" and the card was locked in, it wouldn't give it back to me. I had to cancel out and that's when it gave it back which surprised me I thought it was going to keep it. I have used this card a lot of times since I received it and that's the first time that ever happened to me.

Pull your cash out if you havent
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64356738


You realize that this is a waste of time, right? If the system collapses, your hard cash will be worthless.

And taking out your cash will just hasten the collapse.

So in short, you're fucked.

ohyeah
 Quoting: The_Original_Mind




It is not like if the system crashes suddenly (like for example the entire stock market crashes) that cash will suddenly be worthless. That no one will accept it.

Prices just go higher and higher so you need more and more cash until EVENTUALLY it is basically worth paper.

So don't INVEST in pure cash, but there is nothing unwise or stupid about taking the cash you have out of your accounts in case these card systems stop working.

If I was going to actually invest in something that will be highly valuable to trade with in the future, I would invest in cigarettes. hehe. People like those.
