That is why we should ditch paper and go full electronic, eth to the moon. Though china has built empires on paper before other countries mainly the usa adopted it.
@@Hybridious Crypto is bull sh*t.
@@neddiego2570 Maybe, but at least in BTC and ETH(not talking 2.0) there will always be a finite number and it cannot have more coins minted/mined. Where fiat can be printed and gold have more mined(or be dilluted). With crypto its pretty easy to know if your crypto in terms of tokens are legit, and easier for BTC since everyone can see total reserve. Though I can understand not liking Crypto if your planning on holding for over a hundred years, then gold/rhodium would probably be better choices. || If you said "NFTs are bull [...]" then I would've agreed, the currently implementation is flawed.
Yeah, that paper would solve my problems rn

bitTorrenter gold was when the USA was founded. Gold and Silver were seen as the only money that would preserve the USA forever.

Gold in some states is currently allowed as legal tender and it used to be until the illegal creation of the privately owned US Central Bank.

Gold is not "just another currency, like the Yen or Dollar..." It's a store of wealth & has industrial uses.Unlike those fiat currencies, it has maintained it's value over the centuries & you can't simply print up more (allowing it to be debased like fiat currency).
Gold is power over technology.
Gold is even used in space suits and shuttles. It has actual utility.
When shit breaks lose, gold is what everyone wants
Gold and other precious materials have been referred to as “God’s Money” for a reason, spot on!
Did you write a typo? Did you mean "not debased"?
China has 40,000 tons. Once they announce what they really have US dollar is OVER.
"Gold is just another currency". That's why you find it in the Commodities section ;-) Governments and Bankers want you to think that it's jewelry.
Looks like redeemable digital gold and silver will be a safe hedge against the fake fiat currencies @t
Not just another currency. It is money, unlike currencies
Jewelry and gold are Two different things 🤔
Do I need to state the obvious, gold has an inverse relationship to the dollar. Buying GOLD means betting against the dollar; for the love of god just say it. These guys are just jumping around the obvious.
Right now, once the active phase of the recession has started in the U.S., gold is a really decent way out. It's the physical asset at the comfort of your house which you really own and which won't get extinct when banks collapse.
Gold is worth something where money is fancy toilet paper.
The price of gold does not go up or down in reality, it is more that the (in present day) the $ has either gotten stronger or weaker. That is the beauty of gold, it maintains its value in any fiat based market.
tonycodolo no because gold is finite and rare. The demand of it is increasing so countries will be paying a lot more.

No, the value of gold in a fiat world will fluctuate constantly. But, In a world where currencies are pegged to a set value, then, by definition, the value will not fluctuate. Back in the early twentieth century, a double eagle was 20 dollars. Another way of saying that is that a dollar was worth 1/20 of an ounce of gold. It did not fluctuate. But, the value of gold in fiat dollar terms fluctuates minute by minute.
In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.
If you invest 288 in SPY, you would get 2253 today. Invest in value producing companies.
@@pengbertuuu Gold is not an investment, it's a store of value that will outlast every index in the case that you actually need to use it.
Who owned/owns the FT ??
Let's put it this way the central bank is printing papers (Currency) and selling it to you as "Real Money" to buy the actual money (Gold). Which is such a genus move selling printed paper for Gold.
Gold increase their value second after second while money decrease second after second!
Kaplan sold his oil/energy company at the peak price back in 2007. Kaplan now got into gold in a big way at possibly the best time in history to be in it. Gold is now a tier 1 asset in 2023. It will soon be the backstop for revaluation of a new reserve basket of currencies. In so doing, it will most likely enjoy a 15x increase in purchasing power that time.
Kaplan is either very lucky or very well 'informed'. This is the man to emulate in investment strategies as much as possible.

You can buy gold derivatives and put it in your balance as gold, that's what a lot of countries actually do. So yes, you CAN indeed print gold.
Until they ask for delivery of said gold and either it's somehow managed to disappear or they try to fake it.

Wtf? That makes no sense, at all. Gold is only worth what people believe it is worth, it is as much a fiat currency as is any other.
@@tc9634 I think its because gold is more finite than other currencies. Honestly I don't know what makes an ideal currency or for what reasons. For now I just spend dolla billz
The dollar is still king, fiat or not.
@@MrCTruck oh good point, Eve online is a bit like that with PLEX Vs ISK. There is almost always more ISK coming into the game (more currency being created than deleted) whereas the PLEX supply is determined by players creating Plex by buying it irl, and deleting it by converting to game time. It seems that the game Devs try to balance these variables to ensure a constant supply.
Tim Collins as is everything else. But, at least gold has some intrinsic value. It takes effort to get it out of the ground, it can’t be printed, it’s durable, and it’s been a medium of exchange for millennia. So, it’s a hell of a lot better than anything else that I can think of
Riskless and valuable
Going back to asset-backed currency and is also part of the asset-backed SDR of every nation in the BASEL/BIS compliant accord and economic/ monetary reforms...
I’d like to see something like that, but it’ll never happen. There’s a reason why all the nations on earth use fiat currency. Once you understand why that is, you’ll also understand why it isn’t very likely that we’ll have any form of an asset backed currency, without some kind of a major crisis. And, even then I think it’s doubt.

@@BadBoiFX to be fair, at that point every resource would cost cents.
@@BadBoiFX gold is very heavy so it will cost as much as it's worth to bring it back to Earth. So will there be a fort Knox on the moon where low gravity will make it easier to get it there. Wait why not just leave it on the asteroid and declare that you own the asteroid.

It was only since during d time of u.s. Pres. Nixon that a gold reserve was not the base standard on the federal reserve but a printed u.s.dollar bill became the bench mark of trade n currency. In that way can a monopoly of a certain private financial cartel can have a grip of control in a global scale. If this thing collapse because of volatility an unavoidable economic downturn will happen it will lead to a need to get back to a genuine gold reserve note in enable each central banks to print their currency base on the standard gold reserved deposits.

That is simple. One word: De-dollarization i happening all over the world
@Francisco Araneta The dollar is going up because it is still the predominant reserve currency now. Moreover, it's the major hard high yield currency of the world now so when there is uncertainty people still pile into the dollar. I would say the situation drastically will change in 10-15 years time.
@Francisco Araneta you just don't get it :D :D :D.... but hey the world is flat LOLOLOLOL
@Francisco Araneta keep it strong! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No it’s not. Take the yuan/ruble deal that the Russians and the Chinese made for purchasing Russian oil. Once the purchase is made, the Russians sell the yuan on the open market for dollars. That’s because the yuan has no real value outside of China. So, in reality, there’s no abandonment of the US dollar. That’s because there’s nothing to replace it, yet.

Throughout history, paper has always been debased. Since the federal reserve was established, the value of the dollar has gone from a dollar, to seven cents. Gold, on the other hand, has risen in value.

Indeed. The world has been accumulating gold since the global financial crisis, apart from the main western countries.
Does anyone know the endgame ? Is inflation just going to go on for 100 years or is something going to collapse
Because the world reserve currency is going to shit. In a few words
Because fiat currency is a real value of zero, when faith in fiat is gone.
if faith in gold is gone - it will be gone too
so - it is not a difference
but nobody can print gold - it is different
