“The Houthis aren’t going to stop what they’re doing, until the Israeli offensive in Gaza concludes,” Gregory Brew, an analyst at the Eurasia Group, told Al Jazeera, “and even then they are likely to continue for some time after.”
Their demands and intentions are quite clear and solely focused on Israeli-bound ships, although it does seem like this is giving them more leverage with respect to Yemen's agenda which has seen years of war from US-Saudi aggression.
> On 12 December 2023, the Houthis launched an anti-ship cruise missile attack against the Norwegian commercial ship Strinda, an oil and chemical tanker operated by the J. Ludwig Mowinckels Rederi company, while it was close to the Bab-el-Mandeb. The Strinda was on its way from Malaysia to Italy (via the Suez Canal). The attack caused a fire aboard the ship; no crew members were injured. The ship was carrying cargo of palm oil. The French Armed Forces Ministry and U.S. Department of Defense reported that the Languedoc shot down a drone targeted at the Strinda, and the USS Mason also rendered aid. The Houthi attack on the Strinda was an expansion of its series of attacks against maritime shipping in the strait; the Houthis began to attack commercial vessels without any discernible tie to Israel.
Several more attacks since then, on ships with nothing to do with Israel.
I'm just spitballing here, but the guys with the "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam" flag may in my opinion have a more expansive agenda than what you're describing.
Hahaha I swear I thought it was a line from Borat before I realized those pricks are using these words exactly to describe their organization.. how anyone is taking them seriously is beyond my understanding..
A deflationary system awards each market participant with an equitable increase of purchasing power relative to the increase in demand for earning more units through value creation. I'd imagine that would shift some social responsibility from being more centralized to being more decentralized. The Gini Index over time has only been trending up toward 100, signaling a growing environment of inequality. Having said that I do believe that we tend to oscillate between central and decentralized governance of social responsibility and technology innovation around how we transfer value (money) enables a shift away from one end of the spectrum.

What do you mean? Holding a currency involves zero value creation.
