WARNING: 110 Banks Preparing for Digital Dollar [Finance Tech Future]( Dеаr Rеаdеr, As a former VP of a major U.S. investment bank⦠I feel it's my duty to help you prepare for what could be [the biggest change to our financial system since 1971.]( If you have any money in the U.S. banking system, pay close attention because⦠Da Gama was the third son of Estêvão da Gama, a minor provincial nobleman who was commander of the fortress of Sines on the coast of Alentejo province in southwestern Portugal. Little is known of his early life. In 1492 King John II of Portugal sent him to the port of Setúbal, south of Lisbon, and to the Algarve, Portugalâs southernmost province, to seize French ships in retaliation for French peacetime depredations against Portuguese shippingâa task that da Gama rapidly and effectively performed. In 1495 King Manuel ascended to the throne. The balance of power between factions at the Portuguese court shifted in favour of friends and patrons of the da Gama family. Simultaneously, a neglected project was revived: to send a Portuguese fleet to India to open the sea route to Asia and to outflank the Muslims, who had hitherto enjoyed a monopoly of trade with India and other eastern states. For unknown reasons, da Gama, who had little relevant experience, was appointed to lead the expedition.Da Gama sailed from Lisbon on July 8, 1497, with a fleet of four vesselsâtwo medium-sized three-masted sailing ships, each of about 120 tons, named the âSão Gabrielâ and the âSão Rafaelâ; a 50-ton caravel, named the âBerrioâ; and a 200-ton storeship. With da Gamaâs fleet went three interpretersâtwo Arabic speakers and one who spoke several Bantu dialects. The fleet also carried padrões (stone pillars) to set up as marks of discovery.Passing the Canary Islands on July 15, the fleet reached São Tiago (Santiago) in the Cape Verde Islands on the 26th, remaining there until August 3. Then, to avoid the currents of the Gulf of Guinea, da Gama undertook a long detour through the South Atlantic before attempting to round the Cape of Good Hope. The fleet reached Santa Helena Bay (in modern South Africa) on November 7. Unfavourable winds and the adverse current delayed the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope until November 22. Three days later da Gama anchored in Mossel Bay, erected a padrão on an island, and ordered the storeship to be broken up. Sailing again on December 8, the fleet reached the coast of Natal on Christmas Day. On January 11, 1498, it anchored for five days near the mouth of a small river between Natal and Mozambique, which they called the Rio do Cobre (Copper River). On January 25, in what is now Mozambique, they reached the Quelimane River, which they called the Rio dos Bons Sinais (the River of Good Omens), and erected another padrão. By this time many of the crews were sick with scurvy; the expedition rested a month while the ships were repaired.On March 2 the fleet reached the Island of Mozambique, the inhabitants of which believed the Portuguese to be Muslims like themselves. Da Gama learned that they traded with Arab merchants and that four Arab vessels laden with gold, jewels, silver, and spices were then in port; he was also told that Prester John, the long-sought Christian ruler, lived in the interior but held many coastal cities. The Sultan of Mozambique supplied da Gama with two pilots, one of whom deserted when he discovered that the Portuguese were Christians. Bank of America is warning its clients that ALL checking accounts are likely to be replaced with digital dollars soon. And it's not just Bank of America. More than 110 banks have already enrolled in a pilot program that I believe is the trojan horse for the digital dollar. I'm talking about banks like JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in America⦠U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup, just to mention a few. [Click here to see the details]( because there's a very good chance your bank is on this list. And if you don't prepare, you could end up holding a bunch of worthless dollars. Regards, Teeka Tiwari
