<<gold market is completely tokenized>>

Unfortunately you have read my thoughts and plans.

I have nice coins, intend to collect more. Not many are gold, a few of them are, have a little platinum too. Palladium? base metal, won't touch it. We all have our prejudices -g- I did buy a sizable chunk of gold, but had a scary time wondering how pure it was. Whatever, I sent most of it back and was pleased to see most of funds returned. The dealer is still on the approved buyer list, but I will have him store my gold rather then have the physical sent to me. His storage rates are very good. If he just puts a pencil scribbled note in my locker that says ""x ounces of gold" or the real thing, doesn't matter to me, I wont be looking at it. Limited company, he either floats through troubled waters or not. He explained something about hedges and various contracts, all City of London complicated stuff. Often ones word has to be good enough.

Golds part in the periodic table has some shifty looking neighbors, not far off. I will be looking at that too as part of my experiments though.

That's that. Anyhow...

As well as approving my silver ... thinking of perhaps adding my mark -g- (in a small and inconspicuous way)

Crypto Creators: On Art Galleries to 'Tokenized' Collectibles - Andreessen Horowitz (a16z.com)

It's looks like a big subject but something like a just visible version of this.



and each coin might be part of a larger kit aimed at J6P market. Possible with sub tokens that can be lent out, the honesty of the sub token entirely dependent on the owner, but possibly verifiable.

I am shutting down my website, and opening a new one, more commercially orientated.

Domain name is ready to go. (It was hard to find a new one with the name "silver" in it.. a good indication btw)

Possible selected picture of hero on office wall.



From 1696 until his death in 1727, Newton was first Warden and then Master of the Mint. He applied his scientific precision to the task of improving the accuracy of the coinage, making it difficult for counterfeiters

I think God has determined my real mission in life is to pump silver (maybe doge and loser coin too?)

Possible motto will be

"God bless the shorts"


Newtons calculations on the amount of silver in the Earths crust was not far off from modern estimates when I last looked at it.

Now maybe Boris and chums might step in and say this or that, but I won't be breaking any laws. Negotiate way forward will be the plan.

Tokenized gold = great idea. I consider buying GLD but tax laws in Aotearoa-Zimbabwe, transaction costs and political risk make it a bad idea.

A cryptogold token would work for me.

That would add value to the gold stocks which would be bid up to value the value of a dinkum money based on no need for political promises.

But the gold would still be based on land owned by evil-doers. Gold deposits should be distributed across many counties to prevent political confiscation, rather than in huge gold bunkers in just a few locations.
