the bitcoin price knows a recession is coming. it is the ultimate prediction market. low price = bad economy with no ability to save high price = lots of money left over to save

if you buy gold, you are helping central banks that work for the largest authoritarian government in the history of the word and the most militaristic government in the history of the world. image

what's amazing right now is that the cost of money is increasing at the same time that the cost of violence is decreasing at a point in the not too distant future those decreasing and increasing events will cross, and at that point the cost of violence will be so cheap that everyone will be forced to get along and cooperate, and that cooperation will be facilitated by the free money . small countries will not be exploited by large countries because the small countries can fight back with as much fire power as the large country.

gold is a giant circle jerk. the gold miners don't keep any gold, the gold dealers don't keep any gold, the people who own gold sell it for dollars. the people who buy large quantities use it to offset their dollar liabilities. View quoted note →

in the past, 1800-1950s, every printed word carried a cost to print and then produce in large quantities. the writings then were of high quality because every word counted.

i asked my gold dealer what happens with the gold he buys. he immediately sends it off to a large multi state buyer where it is melted and sent overseas. he only keeps very rare rolexes and coins.

if you were the CCP and you were in the process of developing an international gold exchange and encouraging trade partners to settle in gold, one of your priorities would be to make gold look amazing and make competitors like bitcoin look terrible. right now the price action is taking place outside of wall street hours. we were in a wall street run market with the etfs for the last few months. it seems like gold and bitcoin are in an asia run market again.
