Re <<Proposal for a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold issued at the initiative of President Trump on July 4, 2026.>> … suggest reading fine print with aid of electron microscope, and once done ignore, because suspect the gold-hook is just and only a mechanism to lower cost of debt, to be reneged between <<July 4, 2026>> and 50-years from now. My suggestion is so because they are <<*FCKING FCKS>>. I am happy the daughter is studying history as one of many minors, alongside of mathematics and such really useful readings, as opposed to politics, economics, etc etc. History tells us that the <<FCKS>> are telling untruth / lying, again. They cannot help themselves. Speaking of which, gold is behaving rather tame at this particular cusp or juncture of WWIII. In the meantime we are rather happy with crypto BTC and ETH, and PAXG (crypto manifestation of gold-gold). Rather neat to keep believing that access to these ‘WEB3 assets’ or strings-of-numbers via mobile telephone can be maintained from anywhere on this planet. The single issue about gold-gold is that it is NOT actually portable, and one cannot cross borders with it in toll. Diamonds are no more viable as store of value because China China China manufacturing has cratered pricing to essentially nothing, and no, there is no discernible difference between synthetic and natural diamond, as far as I understand, except the synthetics are more perfect to the eye aided or otherwise, carat for carat, and sort minor electrical characteristics. robbreport.com Lab-Grown Diamond Prices Are Falling. Here’s Why That’s Not a Bad Thing.**

*>> THE FCKING FCKS* zerohedge.com Gold and Dollar: Ripe for a Pause BY THE MARKET EAR MONDAY, NOV 25, 2024 - 23:10 Gold - double top? Watch gold closely here as it is putting in the biggest down candle since the last bounce. We are back trading below the big $2700 level. First proper support down at $2600 where the trend line comes in. Let's see how this plays out, but we are looking at a potential lower high and a double top. Source: Refinitiv Gold - watch India Gold and Sensex have moved in tandem for months. We asked ourselves rhetorically if there was a relationship between investors in India feeling more/less wealthy because of the Sensex, and if that had any spillover effects to gold. You decide... Source: Refinitiv The dollar connection The dollar bull that started in late September has been powerful. The question is what does gold do should the dollar pause/get a little weaker, or has gold's resilience to a strong dollar been a sign of safe haven demand? Source: Refinitiv Range highs Mighty DXY put in a massive shooting star on Friday, which is being confirmed today. The dollar is desperate for a pullback. Chasing the dollar at range highs, or getting excited about the breakdown at range lows has been a costly strategy. Obviously, all big ranges are eventually broken, and things tend to get very dynamic after, but we need the dollar to chill for a bit. Source: Refinitiv Not early The crowd has loaded up on the dollar long lately, currently carrying the biggest net long since the summer. You are not early chasing the dollar here... Source: DB

*>> THE FCKING FCKS* ... Very interesting, and make sure to keep scrolling downward ... says we are either going to further rise or collapse, per all quiet, and too quiet, on the gold front, meaning we can hold or sell, but cannot buy, I am guessing finance.yahoo.com^GVZ/ finance.yahoo.com finance.yahoo.com

*>> THE FCKING FCKS* re <<Proposal for a 50-year Treasury bond convertible into gold issued at the initiative of President Trump on July 4, 2026>> Gold might well find a use-case going forward because gold is gold. Just that contractual gold, meaning promise-of-gold, is not quite the same as gold-gold. btw, trump's 100%-duty threat against the BRICS nations w/r to (1) BRICS 'money', and (2) de-dollarisation are likely off base, because unclear what the Trump proposes to do as nations express sovereignty in the construct of SWIFT, and recognising that Team China is one of the biggest supporters of the Dollar system right now. (1) there is no proposal on the table for BRICS 'money'. There is a move to use mBridge to replace / swap out SWIFT en.wikipedia.org mBridge (a.k.a. Multiple CBDC Bridge) is a multiple central bank digital currency platform developed to support real-time, peer-to-peer, cross-border payments and foreign exchange transactions using CBDCs. Based on a blockchain called the mBridge Ledger, the platform is designed to ensure compliance with jurisdiction-specific policy and legal requirements, regulations, and governance needs. [1] Currently five entities are jointly developing mBridge. They include the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Bank of Thailand(BoT), the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE), the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China (PBC DCI), and the BIS Innovation Hub Hong Kong Centre (BISIH Hong Kong Centre). [1] The Saudi Central Bank joined in June 2024. [2] (2) the schema is a way for nations to engage in own-currency based trade, meaning Russia sells its resources for digital Ruble, and etc etc ... and China sells whatever it sells for any currency including CNY, and Team Members such as Brazil ... India ... S Africa ... and 13+ observer states can trade in whatever currency as they please as long as the mBridge can lock in a deal in real time ... by so doing, the need for USD is sharply reduced, and can be swapped out by use of any own-currency that chooses to list on mBridge, or is listed on mBridge (meaning China can choose to issue digital manifestations of Euro, EuroDollar, GBP, Yen, AUD, CAD, USD, gold, ... PAXG, BTC, ETH, ... dog coin, whatever) for liquidity purpose as long as there is a market (3) By so doing, mBridge might co-exist with or replace SWIFT en.wikipedia.org as the planet chooses, and the more SWIFT is weaponised, the less needed it shall be *Spoiler Recommendation: GetMoreGoldAlways ... because BRICS+ can do-in SWIFT faster should SWIFT fckaround Euro? shall be very unfortunate unless it digitises and mBridge chooses to support the Euro. However, as in alas, just-saying, China has little reason to insist on its trade be carried out in CNY terms, because money is money, unless it is a money that commits suicide by sanctioning others** (4) Interesting VLOG that inspires imagination ... (5) BRICS vs G7

Crypto wallet order of battle sharply adjusted, by off-loading BTC for stable coin USDC and off-loading 1/3 of ETH whilst holding on to PAXG (paxo gold) - should BTC or ETH continue to fall sharply, shall reload - should ETH again reach 3,9xx, unload, at least by 1/2 of now - should PAXG drop when gold corrects, add by quadrupling, as it is the go-to 'asset' even in Web 3.0 universe So, now-now, stable coin 51.53%, ETH 45.09%, and PAXG 3.37%. A second but smaller wallet (~1/8 the size of main wallet) is currently in BTC (78%) and ETH (22) shall either go 100% to stable coin USDC this day or next few days or ride the storm to kingdom come, into and then past 100th days of Trump's move into the WH. Have not decided yet. All just string of digits supposedly mean something but who knows what. I fear for BTC because China China China can too-easily crash the coin by allowing currently illegal BTC production to increase from ~30% (post banning production) of global hash rate creation back to above 50% and exercise the bitcoin block chain governance / consensus. Before the 2021 production ban China teams produced 70+% of all daily bitcoin output on this planet, of course. The ban allowed the Blackjacks and such to issue ETFs whilst placing right hand on heart and swear to SEC 'these digital strings are money-good'. Putin said 'who can ban bitcoin' a few days ago, and I wondered why he said it, then I asked the same question, and said to self, "China, by recapturing governance right and disassemble the chain" Who can know, perhaps the Putin and the Xi are playing with the Trump just for the fun of it. Speculators are brave, perhaps too brave.

*>> THE FCKING FCKS* Following up to Message 34942399 So, now-now, stable coin 51.53%, ETH 45.09%, and PAXG 3.37% given that the game was never about holding cash (USDC) in the crypto wallet over any extended duration, I bought some more PAXG with some USDC, and sold some ETH for more USDC The remaining USDC shall wait for opportunities in any of BTC, ETH, and PAXG, and might be just parked in PAXG should volatilities die. I feel PAXG is inexpensive relative to BTC and perhaps to ETH as well So, now-now, order of battle at stable coin USDC 68%, ETH 22%, and PAXG 10% Needless to but I will note anyway, hope BTC collapses, ETH zooms up, and PAXG holds steady or rise or fall, as long as stable coin USDC remains stable. Not too many moving numbers to navigate amongst. I do not intend to trade PAXG, and only want more and more PAXG, unless of course BTC and ETH craters and PAXG zooms up. Should all three chips crater I shall just read a book and wait the storm out. The virtual volatility-harvesting machine in my phone is working :0) The fact that the machine works at all and well tells me the world is NOT alright. I suspect everything f*cked but we do not know what which how when.
