but I wanted to copy & paste the Conclusion of an insightful article regarding the status of CBDC’s (from Zero Hedge)

So, what is the current state of CBDCs?

A brief analysis would suggest that it serves almost as a microcosm of the Great Reset in general, in which grand plans for worldwide changes stalled at the halfway mark because the people pushing the scheme underestimated the speed of public understanding and power of public reluctance.

Now, we are witnessing the early stages of a re-launch as a faux partisan issue.

In this instance, the specific context is Donald Trump’s “trade war”, which will see CBDCs rebranded as a sensible non-Trumpian option and a way of rejecting US dollar dominance (or maybe even circumventing tariffs, look out for that in the future).

Who knows, maybe we’ll even look back at the “damage” caused by “Trump’s trade war”, and be told that digital currencies would prevent a future where the world’s economy is “held hostage by one narcissist” or something along those lines.

That will cleanly sweep the “left” into the pro-CBDC camp.

Meanwhile, to mop up the stragglers on the populist “right”, Donald Trump’s America (and maybe a few others for appearances’ sake) will have their alternative non-central bank digital currencies instead.

Creating what this FinTech article calls a “bifurcated” financial system. Or the appearance of one at least.

There are already academic papers talking up the benefits of stablecoins and CBDCs “co-existing”, and it’s not hard to see that translating into a financial two-party system – the illusion of choice and difference. Two bodies sharing a head.

But the branding will allow each “side” to point out the superficial differences between the systems and contrast their good social control with the other “side’s” bad social control, and engender tribalism along predictable old-fashioned lines.

They’ll be “interoperable” too, of course, because that’s the whole point. But people will be too invested in the argument to notice or understand what that really means.

… that’s the plan to sweep the stupid lefties into the CBDC camp as a rejection vote against Trump.

As alluded to yesterday … it’s too obvious why Trump is acting like a crazy man both within and outside of the borders … pissing off just about everybody within shouting distance.

Turns out it’s just a ploy (thank you Inspector Clouseau) – a ploy to enable mind control over the weak minded – just like the MK Ultra boys just successfully carried out in the Canadian election – to get you forget whatever it was you were thinking about before. This of course is not hard these days with the level of distraction and brain damage they are inflicting with vaccines, fluoride, chemtrails, phone/electronics addiction, etc.

Great article on this right here:

Inside CBDC’s Anti-Trump Rebrand | ZeroHedge

So make no mistake … The Donald is an MK Ultra plant … and he will oversee the backdooring of a CDBC framework in the USA at a minimum … think stablecoins – XRP (for international transfers) – etc. for now – you will have no privacy with these coins as well (so what’s the difference).

They’re a bunch of liars … like we didn’t know … but because of stress and our wish to keep the status quo – it’s easier to give them a pass … until you are starving and standing in a line to board as train on its way to a concentration camp … that’s worse … no?

Have a nice day

If somehow the HUI were able to close above 400, I’d think that would be a major victory.

I haven’t checked volumes in the shares yet but they were below average in yesterday’s pullback.

Agree 100%

They aren’t at the point of paying premiums just yet, but you know as well as I do, it’s coming very soon.

I don’t think the retail crowd is even involved yet for the reasons you pointed out, we are dying off, the sub 45-50 crowd want to get rich quick with crypto, and if they are involved it’s with the empty vaults of GLD and SLV.

Hence the term ‘psychos’.

The Canadian people are in as much trouble as they allow themselves to be.

They just need to grow a pair. Looks like Western Canada will lead the way here.

European’s are that way too but a reversal is brewing here as well.

And things are still too good in America with the free money machine still cranking it out daily … but change is getting closer by the day here too.

Couple of years in the digital gulag and the commies will be living in their own little dreamworld. (Let’s hope it never gets there.)

Thanks to folks like the good people of Missouri … just passing the Constitutional Money Act … champions of The Constitution.

Well done, Missouri.

Who is next?

Florida me thinks.

Once retail buying gets going it won’t take long before dealers are completely out of stock.

Coming soon to a market near you.

The Canadian government has begun ramping up testing for a chilling new Covid mRNA “AeroVax” that seeks to overcome “vaccine hesitancy” by using aerosols to “vaccinate” the general public.

Unlike traditional “vaccines” that are deployed using injections, the new AeroVax is an atomized spray that is inhaled.

The new “vaccines” are sprayed in aerosol form and breathed in by recipients.

The AeroVax was developed by researchers at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded McMaster University in Canada.

According to researchers, the Canadian government’s Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) has now invested $8 million in taxpayer funding into the AeroVax project as scientists prepare for the next round of clinical tests.

Canadian Government Begins Testing Inhaled Covid mRNA ‘AeroVax’

Our little sector seems to like it.

First hour is in the books.

I did look at the last couple of COT’s and you’re right, it appears they are covering in gold.

Demand being driven by the banks is an interesting development. Sinclair always said they’d join the party someday.

BTW – I find it interesting that gold bars all the way down to 1 oz. bars are out of stock at my gold dealer. Seems that when demand gets down to these dealers, shortages can’t be too far away.

been that way for a while now. Algo’s just drip selling the ETF’s 10 shares at a time.

NEM, AEM being pinched.

Hopefully we can stave off the selling and the metals hold up and then move higher.

Open interest is definitely low enough … signaling the bankers are covering their shorts and don’t intend to step in front of it anymore … just like 2010/2011.

And look at that … another 230 deliveries yesterday … 230 x 5000 = 1.15 million ounces out the door for the manipulators … bring the total this month so far to a record ~ 14k contracts ~ 70 million ounces. (notice gold continues to hit records too) This is 10% of annual production in a market with a chronic deficit problem already.

The physical gold rush continues although activity is driven by banks.

Once the Fed starts easing more aggressively again the market will notice and one morning you will indeed wake up to a soaring silver price for no apparent reason (unless you are looking a bit closer).

Cheers mate

… this would be a classic … with the count now full traced out.

The greedy psychos in charge want to eat our lunch … but if the HUI/BTC Ratio turns higher soon … which the count supports … they will have to wait (hopefully for a long enough time for Michael Saylor to sell … he alone could crash the market … chuckle.)

The ratio is counted out now but could end up being pushed lower in coming days/weeks possibly as da boyz are a stubborn lot.

Cheers al

I wonder the same thing about silver. The only thing I know is that we’ll wake up one day and it will be up $1-$1.50 for no reason and it will keep going from there. Seems every silver rally comes from out of the blue.

Hoping we’re not too far away from that happening.

I get it … the public is stupid and lazy … that’s nothing new.

But this is different … these are control currencies that put you in a digital gulag.

Most understand that.

I find it amazing how many so called ‘gold bugs’ don’t.

Truely amazing

OUTCROP SILVER ANNOUNCES PARTNER FUNDED MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM AT THE PEARL COPPER PROJECT, ARIZONA

https://ceo.ca/@newswire/outcrop-silver-announces-partner-funded-maiden-drill

It’s clearly evident that Silver is, once again, the tool that the scum are using to keep the metals from exploding higher….

What will break that stranglehold, if Silver is construed to be a byproduct of a weaker economy (but isn’t the economy going to be better with all of these tremendous trade deals getting implemented??)

But if we can hang on here even despite the selling of the last couple of days, we’ll have higher weekly closes on GLD, SLV, and the HUI. Same to be said for GDX & GDXJ in particular.

A little surprising and definitely not a bad thing.

A coffee shop should use the cash to pay wages and suppliers. Not banking all of it. Pay your staff daily, to avoid security issues. Pay suppliers when they deliver. Pay the landlord in cash. This would actually reduce handling costs and no bank/card transaction fees. 70 years ago that’s what happened.

Thanks for the silver charts. Holding out hope that we can rally from here, starting today actually, but we’ll see what happens.

We’ve had a tentative rally in the overnight market. Gold up $20, silver up $.20. No one, including the Chinese are rushing into buy. OTOH, they aren’t selling. I remember when selling in pm’s would go on for days and weeks at a time. Seems lately we get a couple, three days of selling and then the buyers arrive.

Obviously, it’s too early to tell whether we’ll continue higher, but first look at the shares is positive. Hope it continues.

Oil back above $60. Dollar down a smidge. Bitcoin flat but over $103k. When did that even happen?

The Fed and jobs reports are out of the way with somewhat minimal damage. We are free to rise.
