    50 million ounces of Au for Free and it still keeps raining on him - in Au. He won the largest lottery I have ever heard about. The ticket cost was US$ 2 million and he has been rewarded with billions and still more.... unbelievable.
    You should interview the Royal Gold and Wheaton, OR management teams and key founders. There has been a lot of optionality innovation created, practiced and taught by those world class firms.
    Thanks for a great vid. Keep'em coming!

    When FNV fell I said finally it’s my time to enter. That was a beautiful thing. When they lost the Cobre Panama mine the stock fell 40% and the mine it self was only producing about 16% of their bottom line so that means it was over sold. I scooped up a decent amount of shares and averaged out around $110 per share been holding since and getting a Dividend ever quarter currently it’s hanging out in the $125-$130 range. Once $130 becomes a floor and it hits $147 I’ll sell about 25% of my position which will give me about what I put in then I’ll let the rest ride while I wait for the commodity bull market to play out. If the trend or news changes I’ll adjust my plan accordingly

    Pierre is a great conversationalist, but I disagree with him on one point: the rule of law. If you think that Anglo-Saxon countries are rule of law, remember:
    1. COVID 19;
    2. the confiscation of gold in 1933;
    3. countless assassination attempts on rebellious US presidents;
    4. the creation of the FED;
    5. many assassination attempts on third countries, and numerous wars.
    These countries are private corporations that represent the interests of a narrow group of people who are above the law. In this sense, Pierre is a lucky victim of media manipulation.

    Its interesting to listen to where he thinks the zone of Maximum Risk - is.
    He shares that it is at the exploration point. Given current events faced by FNV and First Quantum in Panama and the Cobre Panama mine confiscation - I believe the point of maximum risk has shifted greatly - to the production phase. Geological risk is transformed into political/ kleptocratic risk - masquerading as 'resource nationalism'....
    As a FNV shareholder - post this debacle - this is the key lesson for the miners and especially the royalty capital allocators.
    Pick your projects and country placement very carefully - there are all kinds of mines that have been stolen all over the place.
    As an investor - this needs to be a focal point for yr capital allocation as well.

    gold does not allow one to escape the fiat slave system. While it may act as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, it remains entangled with the fiat system and does not offer a complete escape from its constraints. Bitcoin, on the other hand, provides a decentralized alternative that can offer greater independence from traditional fiat systems.

    • @BloorStreetCapital
      @BloorStreetCapital  2 місяці тому

      It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment! Gold and bitcoin share many of the same traits but the big difference IMO is that you can hold gold in your hand. You cant hold bitcoin. In addition, what do you do if the grid goes down or the power goes out. No power, no bitcoin.

      @@BloorStreetCapital The belief that one can hold gold but cannot hold Bitcoin likely stems from the tangible, physical nature of gold compared to the digital, intangible nature of Bitcoin. Here's how you can address this comparison:
      1. **Tangibility and Possession**:
      - **Gold**: Gold is a physical asset that can be held in one's hand, stored in a safe, or kept in a bank vault. Its tangibility makes it feel secure and real.
      - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin is a digital asset stored on the blockchain. Ownership is secured through private keys, which can be stored digitally (e.g., in a hardware wallet) or even on paper (e.g., a paper wallet). Though you can't physically hold Bitcoin, you can securely possess it.
      2. **Security and Portability**:
      - **Gold**: Transporting large amounts of gold can be cumbersome, risky, and expensive. It requires physical security measures.
      - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin is highly portable. Transferring Bitcoin across borders or over distances can be done quickly and with minimal cost, and it doesn't require physical security measures beyond securing the private keys.
      3. **Accessibility**:
      - **Gold**: Accessing physical gold can be restricted by government regulations or geographic constraints. It might also involve additional costs and logistics.
      - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin can be accessed from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. It is not constrained by physical boundaries, and transactions can be performed 24/7.
      4. **Market and Liquidity**:
      - **Gold**: Gold markets are well-established and have a long history, providing a sense of stability. However, selling physical gold can involve time, intermediaries, and fees.
      - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin markets are relatively newer but offer high liquidity. Bitcoin can be bought or sold on various exchanges instantly, often with lower transaction costs compared to physical gold trading.
      5. **Innovation and Future Potential**:
      - **Gold**: Gold has limited innovation potential in its usage as a store of value or currency alternative.
      - **Bitcoin**: Bitcoin, being digital, is part of a broader ecosystem of blockchain technology, which is continuously evolving and offering new applications and innovations beyond just a store of value.
      While gold provides the comfort of physical possession, Bitcoin offers modern, efficient, and borderless options for holding and transferring value. Both have their unique advantages, and the choice between them depends on individual preferences and beliefs about security, accessibility, and future potential.
