BREXIT was NOT a democratic vote
Of course I was able to find an article confirming my thesis: https://www.europeanlawmonitor.org/eu-referendum-topics/the-eu-referendum-result-has-no-democratic-legitimacy-at-all.html
It was “democratic” in the same way Hitler was “democratic”
From wikipedia: File:Stimmzettel-Anschluss.jpg - Wikipedia
He hosted the Olympic Games in 1936. He was recognized as Time Person of the Year: Time Person of the Year - Wikipedia
Another incident from 1933: Reichstag fire - Wikipedia
The Nazi Party used the fire as a pretext that communists were plotting against the German government, and the event is considered pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany. The term “Reichstag fire” has come to refer to false flag actions facilitated by an authority to promote their own interests through popular approval of retribution or retraction of civil rights.

I am 100% honest, authentic, genuine comparing current political affairs with Hitler and Nazi Germany.
I repeat: BREXIT was NOT a democratic vote.
It was a military technology deployed towards citizens of the UK:
- Psychological warfare - Wikipedia
- Psychological operations (United States) - Wikipedia
- Hybrid warfare - Wikipedia
- Psychometrics - Wikipedia
They obtained a large number of data points about each voter It wasn’t possible before Facebook, big data and some other clever algorithms.
- Someone is religious - message about Islam for them.
- Someone has health issues - message about NHS for them.
- Someone likes cats - use cat image in the advert for them.
Blade Runner, Minority Report, all these futuristic movies becoming pretty much a reality.
It’s just like playing chess and knowing your opponent next move, or breaking Enigma and decode U-boot orders during battle of Atlantic - pretty much a game changer.
Laws are made in response to the event, there was no taxation on Bitcoin before Bitcoin. There were no laws explicitly saying “you cannot do _______” because the lawmakers were not aware this is possible. No one really knew it is happening, only after some guys blew the whistle.
One can debate whether BREXIT is good or wrong. One can debate whether a second vote is desirable. It perfectly possible to realise that actually we we did know the full scope of consequences, we realise that, we may want to reconsider.
I’m pretty sure very few voting for BREXIT realised the trouble of the North Ireland border. Was it a part of the debate during the campaign?
I’m advocating educated choice based on the true, accurate, factual information.
Democracy has been hijacked, kidnapped, hacked.
I urge you (strongly recommended) to watch the movie “The Great Hack”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX8GxLP1FHo
Previously I thought “I have my brain, I check my sources, people are free to think whatever they want”
The trouble with that approach - with the current model of democracy, I’m affected as well. You can check another thread: Cross-post from Citizens' Assembly forum - thoughts about "fake news", BREXIT, liquid democracy, voting mechanism, United Nations, consensus protocols
(I believe that we reached a sufficient level of technology to phase-out the current model of democracy and run some pilots with https://democracy.earth and similar)
How to maintain sanity?
No path to happiness, happiness is the way.
I made a conscious decision to Dollar cost averaging - Wikipedia until the May 2020 halving and then reassess the situation. Snippet from: https://medium.com/datadriveninvestor/bitcoin-an-asymmetric-trading-opportunity-557d4c0ef903
As a partial list of negative macro news, we have possible Germany and Italy recessions, worldwide bonds trading at negative values, global manufacturing down, housing market peaking, US consumer sentiment weakening, Japanese and South Korean trade wars, record levels of corporate and low grade debt, an inverted yield curve, an Argentinean financial crisis, Hong Kong protests becoming increasingly violent, auto sales peaking, cyclical and small caps under-performing, a hard Brexit, Fed cutting interest rates (best case scenario a short term boom as it almost always precedes a recession, not to mention causes inflation which is a plus for bitcoin), and the US election season barely starting. Oh, and did I mention the global trade wars?
Why might bitcoin be positively correlated with any one of these negative triggers?

I think I had enough, dollar cost averaging is my sane response.
