My TOP10 project list - pick number 9/10 - XRP !!XRP Some love it - some hate it. I have been holding this coin for about 7 years now. I have always known that it was made for greatness. My XRP holding always oscillated between 90 and 60%. I am a believer. Fortunately I diversified somewhat and was able to make some gains with other tokens. I understood that, to be able to wait for the rewards, i had to be able to sit tight. For that I needed to have other tokens to make it through the desert. This is not a sprint. It is a marathon. However in 2024 something changed. I felt my confidence was slightly eroding. My XRP position came down to 25% !! On one side I made good gains on other tokens. On the other side because I decided to swap some XRP for other newer projects. The actual sentiment has become the following. Look for new tokens for the bull run ! The old tokens have already had their run ! Look for the new shiny projects (Celestia, Kaspa, Bittnsor and other AI projects, Arweave, etc.). NOBODY is talking about 'paiments'. The narratives are AI, DE PIN, COMPUTING, GAMEFI, and so on. NOBODY is looking for old, well established tokens, that have made it through several bear markets and had the time to build behind the scenes. I am sure this new projects will (and have already) shined. However, I would not descard older projects like XRP. It is still my belief that XRP will play a major role in the Digital Financial System. Some say: "Not today ! Not in this bull market ! Further down the road, in 2030 !". I say: "Really ??" - Chart says otherwise !!!

Five Reasons and Six Ways to Invest in Gold"Gold is money. Everything else is credit.", said John Pierpont Morgan. When borrowers default, markets collapse and banks run into crisis, gold prices skyrocket. Gold is trading at a 12-month high on March 18th. Gold has been valued for thousands of years. Gold has unique properties. It has been enchanting women and men since humans set foot on the planet. Polycrisis. That aptly describes the current times. The US regional bank crisis haunts markets. Credit Suisse - the bank to the wealthiest was so frail that Swiss National Bank had to step in to provide liquidity backstop. Regulators worked over the weekend to broker an acquisition by UBS to prevent a banking crisis from spreading. Inflation is raging hot at levels unseen in 40+ years. Compounding Chair Powell's quagmire, the US Fed has been forced to switch from QT to QE by providing support to its regional banks from collapsing under crisis of confidence. Geo-politics remains tricky. In times of crisis, investors seek flight to safety. Safest of all assets since civilisation began has been gold. This educational piece provides an overview of (a) physical gold market dynamics, (b) largest holders of gold reserves, and (c) gold price behaviour against other asset classes. It also describes five primary reasons for investing in gold, contrasts six methods of doing so, and highlights the downsides of holding gold. PHYSICAL GOLD DYNAMICS Gold performs multiple functions. It is a currency to some. Store of wealth to others. It is an industrial metal used in consumer electronics. The rich love gold in clothing and food. A bird's eye view of physical gold can be summarily described in three parts: 1. Consumers : Gold is used in consumer electronics due to its high conductivity and low corrosive properties. Gold used as industrial metal represents 6%-8% of total demand. Unsurprisingly, >50% of global gold demand is for jewellery. Jewellery is a multi-tasker. It meets aesthetic goals, serves as a status symbol while also being a form of investment. 2. Gold Reserves : Central banks hold gold as reserves. They are the most significant holders of gold. The haven nature of gold compels central banks to increase holdings during economic uncertainty, high inflation, or currency devaluation. Central Banks added >382 tonnes to their reserves in 2022. 3. Producers : Gold mining is a cyclical industry. Mining output has been in decline over the past decade as major gold producers shift to mining minerals and other metals like copper with the proliferation of lithium-ion batteries in EVs. Gold mining took a huge output hit during the pandemic and may not recover any time soon as capital expenditure into new gold mines is limited. GOLD RESERVES - THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS According to the World Gold Council, as of end 2022, central banks in Western European (11.8k tons) have the largest gold reserves followed by North Americans (8.1k tons), Central & Eastern Europeans (3.5k tons), and East Asians (3.4k tons). Last year, central banks of Turkey, China, Egypt, Qatar, and Uzbekistan were the largest buyers of gold. FIVE REASONS WHY GOLD SHOULD BE IN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS Gold is a resilient store of wealth, provides meaningful portfolio diversification, has limited price volatility, extends benefits of hedge against inflation & currency debasement, and is limited in supply. 1. Resilient Store of Wealth Gold outperforms equities during periods of economic instability. Due to its material properties and scarcity, it can even become more valuable during such periods as investors seek shelter in classic risk-off assets such as gold. 2. Portfolio Diversification Gold can have both positive and negative correlation with other asset classes during different periods. This makes it an attractive addition to a diversified portfolio. 3. Limited Volatility Due to its large market size and diverse supply origins, gold is less volatile than equities and other asset classes making it a safer asset class for investors. 4. Inflation Hedge Gold is often seen as an inflation hedge. Which means that it can maintain its value or appreciate during periods of high inflation due to its scarcity and safety. However, in some cases monetary policy changes like interest rate hikes may make gold a less attractive investment compared to treasury yields during inflationary periods. 5. Limited in supply Gold is a finite resource, that too, one of the rarest precious metals in the world. Moreover, more than 200,000 tonnes of gold have already been dug up. This represents more than half of the total reserves. The gold that is yet to be mined is much more difficult to extract economically. Scarcity creates rarity, which in turn drives the value of the existing gold higher. Many governments, banks, and people also use gold as a long-term investment, which means a huge portion of the gold supply is taken out of circulation, shrinking available supply even more. SIX WAYS OF INVESTING IN GOLD There are multiple ways of investing in gold. Six primary ones are: 1. Physical Gold : Gold can be bought and stored in the form of jewellery or gold bars. Costs of storage, insurance and making charges can be substantial and also inconvenient. Investing in physical gold is not optimal for reasons of poor convenience and higher transaction costs. 2. Gold ETF : Exposure to gold can also be acquired through buying exchange traded funds (ETF) backed by physical gold. There are multiple ETFs that track physical gold prices. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) was the pioneer and began trading in 2004. It has an expense ratio of 0.4% and tracks gold bullion prices. GLD holds both physical gold bullion and cash. GLD provides a liquid lower-cost method to buy and hold gold. Gold can be bought and sold during the trading day at market price. Investors must pay heed to taxation as gains from ETFs in some jurisdictions can be treated differently compared to other forms of gold. 3. Gold Futures : CME’s COMEX Gold futures is the world’s most liquid derivatives which enables capital efficient exposure to Gold. With round the clock liquidity, tight bid-ask spread and benefits of a cleared contract, investing through COMEX Gold futures is widely popular. Each lot of COMEX Gold Futures provides exposure to 100 oz of Gold. Enabling affordable access to investors and to facilitate accurate granular hedging, CME also offers Micro Gold Futures. Each lot of Micro Gold contract provides exposure to 10 oz of Gold. 4. Gold Options : CME also offers options on Gold Futures. Gold options is a useful investing and hedging tool. Using options, investors can lock in unlimited upside potential of price moves while limiting the adverse impact of downside price moves. 5. Shares of Gold Producers : Gold mining is an international business. Gold is mined on every continent except Antarctica. Top gold miners include Newmont (USA), Barrick (Canada), Anglogold Ashanti (South Africa), Kinross (Canada), Gold Fields (South Africa), Newcrest (Australia), Agnica Eagle (Canada), Polyus (Russia), Polymetal (Russia), and Harmony (South Africa). As is evident from the chart above, investing in gold miners for exposure to gold is a poor proxy as most of them have underperformed relative to gold prices. Furthermore, FX exposures must be hedged separately for some stocks which trade in emerging markets. In summary, securing gold exposure through miners is not optimal relative to other alternatives. 6. Gold CFDs : CFDs also known as contract for differences allows for synthetic access to the price of spot gold. These CFDs are OTC derivatives contracts which carry non-trivial counterparty risk with investors being exposed to the credit risk of the CFD provider. The table below summarises the merits of various gold investment instruments across key investment attributes. GOLD TOO HAS ITS DOWNSIDES Gold is a non-yielding asset. Shares of profitable companies pay dividends. Holding debt earns interest. Real estate delivers rents. But gold provides zero yield. For every problem, innovation in markets provides a solution. In a future paper, Mint Finance will demonstrate how gold can be transformed into a yield generating asset. Rising interest rates are headwinds to gold. As rates on treasury, bonds and deposits rise, investors rotate their money out of gold and into yield generating assets. Not only is gold non-yielding, but the returns also fade into insignificance relative to gains from innovation. In times of crisis, gold is a great hedge. However, while positioning portfolios for the long term, investors must astutely balance between safety versus growth. GOLD RETURNS IN RELATION TO OTHER ASSET CLASSES 1. US Equities and Emerging Markets Gold outperforms equities during periods of crisis. During equity bull runs, gold underperforms equities. Cumulatively, over the last 20 years, Gold has outperformed Dow Jones, S&P 500, and MSCI Emerging Markets. Only Nasdaq, which represents tech, innovation and growth has surpassed gold returns. 2. Treasuries with 2-Year and 10-Year Maturities Unsurprisingly, when sovereign risks rise and treasury yields fall to zero, gold shines. Between two non-yielding assets, investors prefer to take shelter in gold as a preferred haven. However, when rates rise, investors rotate out of gold and into treasuries. 3. Crude Oil, Copper, and Silver Over the last two decades, Gold has outperformed crude oil, copper, and silver. 4. Dollar Index, Bitcoin and Ethereum While US Dollar and gold are both global reserves, gold has outperformed the Dollar Index which is the value of the USD against a basket of six international currencies. However, relative to bitcoin and ethereum, gold pales into insignificance. Bitcoin is perceived as millennial gold and ethereum is the millennial oil. Both assets have obliterated gold in terms of price returns. 5. Major Currencies Over the last 3 years, as markets emerged out of the pandemic, gold has outperformed all the major currencies. Yen, under the influence of Governor Kuroda’s liberal QE program, has depreciated 63% against gold. Indian Rupee has deflated 47% while Euro and Sterling have shed 38% and 32% against gold. The US Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, and Aussie Dollar have depreciated 31%, 29% and 20% against gold, respectively. Key Takeaways Gold is money. Everything else is credit. Gold glows in crisis. It is a knight in shining armour for investors. Gold is the only asset which exhibits negative correlation. These are times of polycrisis. As investors seek flight to safety from banks even, gold is the safest among the few remaining alternatives. Gold is a resilient store of wealth, offers durable diversification within a portfolio, exhibits much lower volatility relative to equities, and serves as an inflation hedge albeit with less than a perfect record. Clients can invest in gold in multiple ways. Gold futures is the most convenient and optimal among the six alternatives. Gold has its downsides. It is a non-yielding asset and performs dismally against innovation and growth. Except for Nasdaq, bitcoin and ethereum, gold has outperformed currency majors, equity indices, US treasury, and commodities. In a future paper, Mint Finance will explore ways in which gold can be transformed into a yield generating asset.

XLM - beutiful wedge inside wedge !There is a beautiful broadening bullish wedge forming (blue line) that has recently broken to the upside. Confirmation has been signaled and price is in backtesting mode. This broadening descending wedge is developing inside a larger pattern: a broadening bullish wedge (not descending but broadening to down- and upside). All this happens on the BTC pair. My take is that once Altseason gets going XLM will be one of the most explosive coins in the market.

How far will it fall this time?After finding more gold than has been recorded to date, how low will gold sink? President Vladimir Putin said that the BRICS countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – are currently working on setting up a new global reserve currency. “The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out,” the member states are also developing reliable alternative mechanisms for international payments. Why is this happening? The dollar has long been seen as the world's reserve currency, but its dominance in share of international currency reserves is waning. Central banks are looking to diversify their holdings into currencies like the yuan, as well as into non-traditional areas like the the Swedish krona and the South Korean won, according to the International Monetary Fund. "This is a move to address the perceived US-hegemony of the IMF," ING's global head of markets Chris Turner said in a note. It will allow BRICS to build their own sphere of influence and unit of currency within that sphere.

XRP PRICE PREDICTION & ANALYSIS WITH ISO 20022 IMPLEMENTATION This price prediction is based off historical levels and percentages. With how this Lawsuit is looking, Fair Notice act, and the corruption that's coming to light about how the SEC approached this and Hinman's antics unfolding, without going down the rabbit hole too far, we can all see a settlement incoming. Realistically I believe we could see $10-$27 soon off speculation and price suppression alone. This chart shows the 63,080% XRP did from Feb 27th 2017 to Jan 1st 2018. (.00525) to (3.31700) and potential price if we did the same percentage from .93 cents, the price would be $589 > XRP is the only crypto in the Top 10 that HAS NOT created a new ALL TIME HIGH. XRP has an actual utility to help shape and make cross border payments more efficient. I truly believe we are in the process of adapting to this new ECOSYSTEM of how Financial institutions and banks will be transferring money between each other (ISO20022) and XRP will be used as the bridge, the interoperable currency that links them together and will provide pools of liquidity between banks, crypto , stocks and resources and that value will be represented in the XRP you and I hold. Now I want to ask you which company is being called the SWIFT killer? Which company has been positioning a digital asset to become a global reserve digital asset? Which company is working with the banks and governments? Which company has their tech integrated with leading Banking and payments software providers to allow for a flip the switch ease of access? This is no accident or speculation. This is fact. I challenge you to prove me wrong. What does this all mean? It means after 100s of years of different sovereign currencies dominating, leading to failure after failure, I believe the US dollar will be the last sovereign currency to ever hold the position of a global reserve currency. XRP is loved by the IMF/BIS etc.. This is no coincidence. Ripple has been captured since 2014. Their goals have been directed by hidden hands. What you see is just the surface, The tech Ripple offers and provides cannot be matched by any other today. Inter ledger protocol is game changer. This allows trade to be conducted using any currency or asset. This links up the financial world. Interledger Protocol is like veins to a body & XRP is its blood.. We are entering a brand new world. We wont recognize it when the dust settles. Changes are coming. We have to wait for negotiations to complete. In life we cannot be certain about much but I've never been more certain of XRP becoming the World Digital Reserve.

The 5 ways civilizations collapseI watched a great video about the collapse of civilizations and I'd like to comment on it, with a bit more of a focus on the economic reasons and outcomes. 1- Crushed in a war by a far stronger force Destroyed, or elite destroyed (government & big banks & business owners) Aztec Inca Baghdad Carthage... Modern examples include Iraq and Libya. Just look at before and after pictures. Libya was destroyed by the USA and has returned to slavery, Iraq is some sort of warzone with a currency being literally sold as a ponzi scheme (search the Iraqi Dinar scam), he by the way the "it will go up" Dinar crashed so hard a few months ago I wasn't sure if it was worth posting about. PRO TIP: DO NOT INVEST IN A COUNTRY THE USA ARE ABOUT TO "BRING DEMOCRACY" TO! 2- Too aristocratic Central American, Andean, Greek, Anatolian, Syrian, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Indus Valley, Khmer civilizations ended in big part because they were too inegalitarian. (Very) ancient civilizations were all ultra aristocratic with the population getting vampirized by a minority through slavery (wageslavery), ravenous taxes (reminds me of something), human sacrifices. And they went down the same way. In ~1150 BC all civilizations around the anatolian peninsula (including the famous Mycenaean one in Greece) rapidly collapsed at around the same time. In some cases tiny barbarian armies were able to wipe out much stronger civilizations. The reason is the population hated their parasitic rulers and did not want to pay heavy taxes for their rulers to waste (ancient elites did not know well how to manipulate a population into submission and even WANTING higher taxes, also people used to have more common sense) The world entering the iron age meant the plebes could easily get armed, and an unfair government with crushing taxes would simply get killed (like in France in 1789). I wonder why today governments are trying so hard to disarm the population? Probably just a coincidence. Ancient Egypt near the end had taxes that could get as high as 60%. Huh with 25% corporate taxes plus 20% VAT plus 15% social contributions plus 10-50% income tax plus other taxes we're easily reaching that Egypt max and even going past it. We do not have that much evidence of bronze age nations, but more recently we know that the American and French revolutions started as tax revolts against unfair privileged governments. Everyone knows this, it's clear, precise, not my opinion, unlike the subjective list Davos made on how civilizations end (link at the bottom of this article). Inequality also allowed some ruling class to replace the previous one, like with the Caliphates for example. The population was keen for a change of government. These bronze nations with crushing taxes I mentioned could never grow very big and collapsed with the iron age (bronze weapons and armors were expensive and slow to make but not iron which allowed the peasants to get armed and not submit). Following their collapse large empires rose, such as the Roman and Persian mega-empires (at its height, 50% of the world population lived in the Persian empire, talk about a beast). Rome only had a 1% wealth tax from what I've read and did not over-rely on slaves. Rome lasted 1000 years and ended because of decadence. Obviously treating the population fairly (mostly with reasonable taxes, that's really all they care about), rather than a population that hates the rulers and would see foreign invaders as saviors, is what allowed these empires to grow and maintain their size. Modern governments tricked the workers into thinking "only the rich pay" and playing this childish "divide to conquer" tactic, but everyone pays, and people over time slowly figure it out. Some extremely ignorant and stupid members of the population support 90% taxes. Never seen in history. Cool so a company hiring workers will have to charge $10,000 for them, pay $9000, and there's $1000 left as wage minus the owner margin with life being way more expensive (hiring a $2000 wage plumber would cost $20,000). In inflation adjusted terms if basic workers still get charged $3000, rather than getting a wage of $1500 they'll get 10% so $300, minus the boss margin. Brilliant! So they would be totally reliant on welfare. And what? Even more mad at companies that pay them a misery wage? And ask for even higher taxes? Lol how are they falling for this? This explains why western government are doing everything to prevent people becoming their own boss, or they'd see it first hand. 3- Becoming too conservative After the great plague this happened: - MENA became ultra conservative, with Sharia law, and looking for the "return to the golden age". Still to this day they are primitive and ultra conservative. Iran had a ray of light of progress with the shah 50-60 years ago but it was short lived, the medieval backwards religious leaders quickly took over and imposed their rule of darkness. - India well... They were 40% or more of world GDP before, and they dropped to some unbelievable low number like 1%. They roll themselves in cow dung and bathe in the radioactive Ganga river. And open defecate. The Maharaja and silk road traders would never believe this future. It's beyond, I'd cry if I was indian. - China: I think most of the great wall was built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), or rebuild. They got into isolationist policies, got bureaucratic, corrupt and superstitious and stagnated at best. - West Africa: At the hand of slavers with primitive superstitions I guess. China still has their bureaucrats. Maybe that's why Africa is so poor, they whole civilizations were centered around slavers, and now they can't do that, meanwhile China is still allowed to have its bureaucrats (some of it works for them it's too much that is bad). - Russia: Became the third Rome. Went from an area of maybe 1-2 million square kilometer in east Europe and half of France population to this monster of 20 million square km and 3+ times France pop. - West Europe: Age of Enlightenment, progress and so on. Unlike others that had an unfair ruling class (Brahmins/Priests in India, Slavers in Sahel, Bureaucrats in China, Samurais in Japan, etc), the West had a balance between the monarchy, merchants, warriors and priests. Wealth equality was way greater back then that it is today. Yes the industrial revolution was a big factor. The conservative "civilizations" like China had contempt for the West, and saw them as irrelevant weirdoes. And then they went through centuries of humiliations and conquests by the West. To this day the (declining) West still makes 50% of world GDP. A funny example is India in 1000 AD during the muslim domination. The superstitious ruling priests in the face of muslim invasions rather than use taxpayer money to build armies, built... temples... are you serious? Well it did not work. Before that at the start of the iron age the old bible civs (Babylon, Assyrians...) that were ruled by corrupt and superstitious priests were wiped out by the mighty Persian empire, and Persians were so nice that people actually wanted to live there the priests had no chance of rallying the population and start a rebellion. As I explained in 2-. Bruh: "Darius allegedly asked his satraps whether the tribute was not too high. When they said it was moderate, Darius ordered that they should pay only half as much.". Another version says he took taxes and returned half of it "back to the people" (tax returns?). The empire was at its greatest extent under his rule which was in the early days of it. He divided taxes by 2 and everyone wanted to join. You don't always need huge armies. Unlike the modern west, Persia DID NOT PROVIDE AN "US VERSUS THEM" STORY. Can you imagine? A huge empire, and no divide. People actually enjoyed living there. No divide to conquer. www.oxfordhandbooks.com 4- Becoming too reformist The flip side of the conservative coin. Look at China with the cultural revolution. They went from what maybe 15% of world GDP to 1%, and they were the poorest country in the world. Russia in the early 1900s was a big empire, the 4rth world economy (smallest than Canada today) and if their population bred like non communist countries (UK, France, Germany), they'd have a population of at least a quarter of a million, they'd probably be nearly as powerful as the United States. The marxist reformists hurt Russia so much it's nauseating. They set them back at least a century. Yes there was technological and standard of living progress but of course there was! Even in Somalia. It's worldwide. It's like a super strong uptrend but within that worldwide uptrend they lagged behind. The reformists have no moral boundaries and work to totally destroy the "old world" to reach their idiotic utopia. These disgusting creatures are an absolute plague to humanity and set civilizations back centuries. They love to destroy statues, change constitutions, send people to camps, burn books etc. Hitler said about Christianity as "We have no sort of use for a fairy story invented by the Jews" and criticized its weakness compared to glorious islam, Catholics were sent to camps (especially Jehovah Witnesses) and moral standards went poof. Germany lost 1/3 of its territory, 15 million Germans were deported, West Europe stopped ruling the world, the USD became the reserve currency, and so on. Communists are so evil and stupid they dried up the Aral Sea for their "great" irrigation projects, and destroyed entire forests. The Aral Sea was one of history greatest environmental tragedies. The region economy was devastated, bringing unemployment and hardship, the sea life is gone probably millions of species went extinct, the region is a pollution disaster. And some extremely dumb celebrities (pleonasm) think communism is the solution to save the climate. "There is so little confidence in Russia's economy that there are more Rubbles outside of it than inside" damn. How long for the confidence to come back? 100 years? more? The Soviet Union (I quote): - Destroyed every functioning social system in Russia in order to usher in their glorious revolution and utopia - Artists were totally controlled - The Church was wiped out - The most productive and hardworking members of the population were killed - The ruling class enslaved people in gulags - Standards of living were lowered for faster industrialization and make it look like progress, like it was working - Non Governmental organisations and clubbed were banned - Labor Unions were banned (the irony) - People that were 1 minute late to work were eliminated by the secret police, or people feared that was the case - Makes me want to vomit Societies are held together by structures such as religion, family, patriotism. The state is not intelligent enough to control and run everything. The state tries to run the economy it's a catastrophe. The state tries to run a pandemic OH MY GOD. Anything they do is shit and vomit. I'd say the state is not intelligent enough to not forget to breathe. Oxygen thieves. The French revolution resulted in The declaration of human rights which says the government must be held responsible via violence if necessary, revolt is not a right but a duty. The Americans that wrote their Bill of Rights literally 6 months later have a similar thing with their amendments or something. Of course these sickening evil creatures that are not Politicians but demagogues with 0 convictions that only care about personal success and power and getting votes have used manipulation and brainwashing to get away with everything, cause great harm, and not get held responsible. "Extreme reformers aren't smart enough to realize how dumb they are, thinking themselves geniuses (😆) and everything that's not under their control is an evil force that gets in the way of the great plan" Today the west is obviously at risk. How big is this risk? I can't tell because this would get me mass reported and banned, and maybe even sent to jail. (That answers the question). I cri evertiem. 5- Decadence Maybe the slowest way to end. How Rome ended but it was accelerated with decadence bringing in destroying armies (1-). The 3 natural stages: Barbarism, Civilization, Decadence. Greeks near the end (obviously) saw themselves as "above" earthly matters, and used slaves for work while they enjoyed themselves in "higher" ways. In other words they were lazy bums that felt morally superior and selfish greedy perverts that took it easy. Disconnected from the real world. A bit like modern westerners with robots and not wanting to work, and importing much of what they consume. And disconnected from reality, terrified of dying at 80, willing to ban hunting, and much more. We see low birth rates (there are Roman and Greek texts complaining about this, and blaming the nobles for "having fun" rather than procreate, for "being eager to see their bloodline die"). We see low (or no) economic growth. We see sexual perversions. And so on, you get the picture. An example is when germanic barbarians invaded roman south france (gaul), the local aristocracy claimed there was no danger, barbarian terrorists that cut heads off with massive axes were a tiny number of "lunatics" nothing to worry about and those that wanted to protect the region were far right islamophobes wups I mean germanophobes. The aristocracy smelled their own farts and were stuck inside their own heads and thought it was impossible for these third world barbarians to hurt in anyway their region. Morons. What options do the population have when the ruling class is useless? It's like cutting a serpent's head. Combine being useless to outlawing weapons and spreading propaganda to make sure "radicals" never gain power and you get an inevitable collapse. So to conclude, you have all these ways for societies to collapse, once great civilizations vanish. And today: Point 4 => Who will seriously invest in Russia? So much for marxist progress. Point 1 => Who will buy Iraqi Dinars or invest in Libya other than fools? Point 3 => Who will invest in Iran? Who wants to invest in Afghanistan? Point 2 => Who wants to invest in old Babylon and Egypt. Ye there are no recent examples. Point 5 => Who wants to invest in the Nikkei 225 since 1990? But there is 1 thing that survives all these collapses, that keeps its value: It's yellow and shiny 😉 The world economic forum made their own list of reasons definitely not biased, here is a link for a good laugh: www.weforum.org

ReserveReserve Rights is a dual-token stablecoin platform that was launched in May 2019 following a successful initial exchange offering (IEO) on the Huobi Prime platform. Reserve Rights’ dual token setup includes a stablecoin known as the Reserve stablecoin (RSV) — which is backed by a basket of assets managed by smart contracts. The second token is the Reserve Rights token (RSR), which is used to keep the RSV stable at its $1.00 price target through a system of arbitrage opportunities. important HERE : Arguably Reserve's major defining feature is its Reserve Rights token, which is minted and sold when the RSV stablecoin loses its peg with the U.S. dollar. The funds generated by selling RSR tokens are used to replenish the RSV collateral pool, whereas when RSV is valued at above $1, the additional collateral will be used to purchase and burn RSR from the secondary market, driving down the supply. So this coin will use a Burning mechanic to stabilise RSV Second coin to 1$. Burn RSR = Grow up... invest wisely and DYOR more about Reserve.... this kind of coin could hit Coinbase PRO.

We are reconsidering our RSR positionWarning: our thoughts are ours; not financial advice. We are still very bullish on Reserve , but with activities of the past few days, we are reconsidering our position as stated in our last analysis (analysis attached below). We recently sighted a bullish reversal pattern, therefore, we won't be adding anymore position at this price as we do not consider it cheap enough for our strategy. However, our new short-term target has been raised to $0.087.

Bitcoin Bullish charts, run, consolidate, run to $30K minThe world is waking up to Bitcoin. "2020: A Bitcoin Satoshi is still worth less than a penny!?" LOL Anyone can afford some Bitcoin but most don't realize it and it's difficult for most, currently. Bitcoin is the mathematical wonder that's rivals the Laws of Physics in its power to transform mankind. It will transform the monetary system. The finite number of Bitcoins at 21 million is a financial wonder as a true, unbiased, worldwide, reserve currency. It makes Bitcoin as valuable today as gold was when it was first found, in limited supply. Gold was horded by Kingdoms and that legacy of power has stayed with world bankers though the recent centuries with worthless "IOUs" they continue to print. The beauty of Bitcoin is it's truly peer-to-peer, you don't need to buy a whole one. You can buy the smaller unit of Bitcoin that is a Satoshi. That's less than a penny in most currencies today. Everyone needs to own some Bitcoin and that's what the world will wake up to in 2021. A Bitcoin satoshi, less than a penny each, is affordable to every human on the planet today. I'm buying the dips on Bitcoin because I'm just seeing a run followed by consolidation until the next run as short term overbought conditions get corrected. Bears are there but the long tails on overbought correction tells me these are probably "paper futures Bears", aka Fake Market Bitcoin Bears that will get burned. It's about time the "Markets" get tamed by pure math, not toxic derivatives.

Towards a New World Order They try to call it the new global order, or the future world order, or to avoid naming it at all. I like to call it the ❀~❀~❀~❀~ New World Order ~❀~❀~❀~❀ because this is how the conspiracy theory guys call it and it amuses me :D Go to the end of this idea for my predictions. Trump recently made a very interesting statement: We need to work on income inequality in the USA. And you should know he also wants to devalue the US DOLLAR because trade partner get an advantage out of it. Now this advantage I think is much smaller than the free purchasing power the USA steals from foreign countries. But as they steal purchasing power from the world (china in particular) this wealth is unevenly distrubuted in the US. So as I see it there are now 2 camps in the USA: - Trump that wants to retreat from the world order and that will lose the reserve currency and that additional wealth BUT will make the economy strong and the country more fair, and SOLVENT. Populist. All his goals equal removing the usd as a world currency. - The left / radical left that will bring unstability and lose the reserve currency too (by printing infinite paper for "free stuff" AND because of instability), destroy the economy, make the country more fair, and the opposite of solvent. The oligarchs and big tech that benefit most from the usd as world currency and from US centered globalism are all in this camp, "Black Lives Matter!" "Trump issu bad!" gee I wonder why. Conspiracy nuts speak of these things: -> A totalitarian central government that controls the world. Oh you mean like the US government & military and their Saudi friends since the fall of the CCCP? -> A central world currency controlled by a few bankers. ???? Oh you mean the US Dollar??? They are so oblivious it's funny. Europe (the EU) is falling apart and the old world order has clearly being breaking down. The US and the UK have gone onto a total retreat from it, and they were the main country to design it in 1945! Back then the world had been traumatized by how fast we went from WW1 to WW2, after idiotic leaders had this truly horrendous idea of forcing abnormal reparations on Germany. At least the US that sort of took over back then came with the Marshall Plan and opposed these lunatics of the Soviet Union that wanted to force Germany to pay pay pay! (They needed even more slaves than they had in the gulags to fuel their idiotic failed socialism plans that were very weak even with all the Oil they had). The major old world bagholders are really Canada France Germany and I guess the left in the USA but not even true because the US left is divided with socialists that hate the world order too (the US dominated globalist world order they'd rather have either China at the top or "no one"). Central banks but mostly China and Russia have been accumulating gold (Russia because they have a brain it seems, and China because they have to reduce their USD exposure). No one wants the USD to continue being the currency of the world but the sheep that are always years late to everything. CNBC brought some experts "greatest economic minds in the country" and I pissed myself, "Gold 2000 is temporary. This rally will fail like every other one. Once the US central banks bring back rates to above real negative (> CPI) the USDOLLAR will recover and gold will go back down" Oh so never? Lmao the FED literally said they would not raise rates in 2020, and have plans to overshoot their inflation targets. How can anyone be that stupid? 🙃 CNBC is truly the best counter indicator. Wait a few months and watch them recommend every one to buy with all they got. The liberal EU-NA world order is done. You don't need a US-Spain or France-Germany war for a risk of nuclear meltdown. The biggest risk was USSR-USA with that order. Germans are not even aware they lost 1/3 of their country to Poland, I guess they might get pissed when they learn it, and when they learn east germans getting kicked out of their home were the biggest mass deportation in history. India & China started clashing. The world is not going to go to complete isolation because of this outdated world order dying. All the people that fought in WW1 are dead now... Adults from 1945 are 100 years old. There is nothing left. It's irrelevant. Ye the UK and US have tried to get more isolated. But seriously the US and UK have never been in our faces as much ever before. The world with the internet is so open now. Are those globalist leaders so blind and so stupid they think the french in 1960 were closer to the UK back then than today??? The smartest risk management would be building bunkers and finding ways to absorb radioactivity. Well anyway the world currency is changing for sure and the 2 contenders are Gold and the SDR. The Euro is not going to take over, it might be a temporary replacement or a secondary to the USD for a while that's it. Forex is much easier now, and we can create whatever we want. Maybe a basket of currencies is too much too many variables too many reliables. Did you know there were (much) more countries with a currency pegged to the Euro than the USD? The world could go for a total new invented currency. A basket seems complicated but not impossible. It could contain currencies like the ones counted in the dollar index (versus USD), plus gold: But then there are too many countries to watch. In global trade gold can be used but then you can have venezuela situations, where the gold is in England and they won't release it. A single currency has all the problems the USD has... Bancor? Create a country that sole goal is to be the global reserve currency state? There are 2 things with a world reserve currency: 1- Foreign reserves. Countries all have their armies of financeers, risk managers, wealth funds, etc. They can easilly manage a basket of currencies. There are so many financial tools here it is easy to replace the USD. The "world currency" for this is already USD + Euro + Gold + a little bit of everything else for the remaining 10% 2- Global Trade: What currency to be used for buying & selling Oil and food? What is the official denomination for prices? What are they tracked in? An index currency (a basket) can be used but then it gets too complicated. People can barely spell their names or remember the last time the world tried to save us with cotton masks (barely a few years ago). Right now the USD is used in 50% of exchanges, and the Euro 30%. The currency every one uses as their standard internationally is the usd. A crypto like Bitcoin (but that makes sense and works) has some good points, and this is why central banks are looking into it. Gold why not, I really can't tell, maybe it is the only option. Or maybe a basket is not that complicated after all but then a globalist power above the countries need to regulate them (the power can be made of officials from each of the countries). Whatever the way they go, we will see. I like the idea of a basket tbh, gold should be included to reduce countries powers and make it more fair/stable etc. But it isn't that viable. All countries have the same goals and about the same inflation targets already so the problems with a basket are not that big of a deal. There will be a talk in january 2021. I think we might have to separate the 2 elements I listed. ❀~❀~❀~❀~ Predictions ~❀~❀~❀~❀ If I have to take a guess I would say we will end up with this: - An IOU credit generated world cryptocurrency for global trade - A basket of gold and sovereign currencies and some iou cryptos managed by financeers for country bank accounts Countries that overexport have to liquidate their ious they'll never use. Countries that overimport (africa) have to always buy them (jk they can't afford it so they'll take loans they'll never repay but that's another question) + Locally countries will exchange in local currencies alot probably (japan china can just trade in yuan-yen) The Forex market will change and the main exchanges will be (iou crypto)-usd/euro/etc BUT it won't be 90% as with the us dollar. There will still be whales, it will be a little less macro global and we'll have to look a bit more at how individual regions imports and exports and monetary policies and economies are going (less of watching the USA only will be a breath of fresh air). And yes of course gold importance will go up but it will not be the mega new paradigm all powerful gold and nothing else of Peter Schiff & other goldbugs. Maybe silver is added to reserves in low percentages? The USA will be a less huge player in finance. London will continue to be the major Forex HUB, probably even bigger.

The historical major world currenciesGlobal institutions want to create a new world order and new age already (to replace capitalism & socialism). So maybe already we are going towards not only a new world currency but a new systel (in red) and I'll be able to update this? Global banking and nations are interested in the blockchain (a centralized currency they can control so they can prepare a new major crisis for future generations). Globalists are going to present their new world order and economic system in January 2021 so stay tuned. The modern age (1800s - 2000s) saw the biggest inequality in history (congratulations to revolutionaries well done). Bah that's simply because, you already know... Socialism and capitalism were never really tried! 200 years of "that was not real socialism". Sad. And as always, This time it's different!

Economic, geopolitic, monetary news. Issue No 7.1- New U.S. Navy Tomahawk Missile Now Runs on Corn *********************** Looks like when we'll run out of good old oil we'll still be able to travel to space, project armies, launch all sorts of devices in the air. "Los Alamos National Labs has come up with a replacement fuel for JP-10 that uses corn bran and other feedstocks instead of petroleum products. The result is a fuel that can be sourced directly from America’s most plentiful crop, bypassing foreign sources." They claimed it would be cheaper than Oil. Maybe. All that corn is used for fructose sirup because it's cheap already. Anyone seen The Informant! (2009)? It's about the lysine price-fixing conspiracy with a corporate director or whatever he was constantly lying to the FBI (or whoever was running the investigation). Oh and what's left goes to feeding livestock, and then a tiny part goes to making tortillas or just selling as corn directly. If Oil is free corn prices will fall but they won't be cheaper than free. It's all going to depend on Oil price. + Storage also of course as the world has learned a few months ago which might not be the same for both. Oil is fat, it has more energy than ethanol (9 kcal/7kcal), not sure how much is in crude. "As of May 2020, the rack price of ethanol was $0.75 versus $1.06 for unleaded 87–octane gasoline", 30% cheaper and 30% less energy in it. The "experts" are saying ethanol is really terrible, not sure why. Because it takes space? Fertility rates are dropping and are even abysmal in the west, they're not very high in other countries either except black africa. And alot of people really want that Bill Gates vaccine? On an earth with 5 or less billion people it won't be a problem by the time we run out of oil (if that's not a hoax). The "greens" should push for de-urbanization, distributism, decentralization, working from home, and flying trams like in Japan. Then you won't need so much gazoline or ethanol. 2- New World Order: UN & BIS statements *********************** From modern-liberalism site wikipedia: "The New World Order or NWO in conspiracy theories is the hypothesis of a secretly emerging totalitarian world government. The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which will replace sovereign nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda whose ideology hails the establishment of the New World Order as the culmination of history's progress. Many influential historical and contemporary figures have therefore been alleged to be part of a cabal that operates through many front organizations to orchestrate significant political and financial events, ranging from causing systemic crises to pushing through controversial policies, at both national and international levels, as steps in an ongoing plot to achieve world domination." Haha! "Conspiracy theory". Well that aged well. Unelected UN secretary general for his 75th UN charter anniversary conference speech said that they saved the world from WW3, and has used covid (never let a good crisis go to waste) to show how important the UN role was, and that it showed we needed more of it. He said the world needed a global governance (sounds alot like the "conspiracy theory"), and has criticized world powers for not playing along (Trump, Putin...). He has in particular whined that the P5 were not all present and it made things harder (China & USA, and also Russia France UK because they used to be relevant well they created it also). "In the 21st century, Governments are no longer the only political and power reality." reliefweb.int The P5: China is pro NWO (they want the USA to lose their power). The UN praise China. France president previous job was at the Rothschild bank, and we had some of the strictest lockdown rules against the coronahoax. The UN praise France. Russia wants to preserve christan white values, have banned Soros & Rothschilds from their country. ==> SANCTIONS AND MORE SANCTIONS AND MORE SANCTIONS. The USA have Trump as president and he made it very clear he was a patriot anti globalists ==> Black Lives Matter and Antifa are starting a civil war. The UK had Brexit, and the neo-marxist weihmar 2.0 party (using the name of the labour party) had its worse result in history ==> Stabbings, fights with police, etc. Jeremy Corbyn brother is a "climate denier" and I bet Jeremy is too in reality. BIS now: "Pandemic may have strengthened case for central bank digital currency" and also is urging central banks to speed up their own transitions/dev of digital currencies. It's hard to impossible for a population to gain their freedom in a big country, logistics, getting together, etc... Even worse look at the Kurds: betrayed by the west they did not get their country, now they are split in 4 countries. 4 different groups that speak different languages, what can they do? Imagine a global world government, that also has total control over the money supply. Good luck. The BIS and UN statements have come the same day. Just like "happytalism" but at least those were concerning the same thing. It's always coordinated. "Conspiracy theory", oh and what else is a conspiracy theory? That Biden wants to give executive power in the USA to the democrats? How stupid are these people really? "Conspiracy theory". 3- PBOC refuses to monetize the debt or use negative rates *********************** They say they want to use tools but moderate, without opening the flood gates, and are planning the exit in advance (I heard that before 😀 To be fair there is a big difference, the FED said "yeye sure we'll get out of it don't worry" that's not the same as having a plan). And here we have it: "If the US Federal Reserve puts too much consideration on the "internal scenario" when making policies, it may hurt the global financial stability and lower the creditworthiness of the US dollar." Not new that China dislikes their too great dependency on the dollar and have been trying to separate from it and have bought plenty of gold. So not much to say, they're avoiding going full insane. No money flood. 4- Non marxists jews are really starting to worry *********************** Who could have seen this coming? Took them long enough. Plenty of jews, including lgbtxyz and worried now xd What'd you expect? "Kill all whites" "Oh no they're becoming radical Hitler might come back". Some have emitted worries that all the violent racial rethoric was bringing whites together in a solidified group and you know, and so on. "One of the reasons I’ve been worried about the current state of racial politics is the potential that it will drive aggrieved white people to the far right. Seems like an obvious problem but I rarely see people talking about it." Weimar 2.0 can lead to Hitler 2.0. The west was confronted to Hitler thought, and learned to be afraid of it, they didn't learn to be afraid of Stalin. So maybe that's what will happen. Oh how fortunate that in january 2021 as a new US president takes office well intentionned people are coming to save us all with their new world order. Maybe add them to genocide watch? Both jews and european whites. 5- Mexico pesos inflation & further rate cuts *********************** Mexico does not care. Another western offshoot even thought they're not considered so. And another similar reaction. Trying to look like Argentina, which also is a white western offshoot not considered so because reasons, that had great policies and also a great depression. Argentina literally has a german reich army, and all the nazis fled there, but hey, they're not part of the west. Logic. Mexico is aztec-spanish so it's arguable I guess. Still, pretty similar methods. Mexico growth is predicted to be under -10% this year which is the non official requirement for a depression. And China that isn't doing this, like other SEA nations. 20 years ago the west told them not to, and they learned. The west thought did not learn their own lesson. Hey you remember that never ending sideways in 2018-2019? Ye that's over. 6- Companies end their Facebook ad contract, and FB decides they'll be censoring politicians they don't like *********************** Large companies including Unilever (the company now based in London and made anti-Brexit bears look stupid) have terminated their ad contract with Facebook due to them refusing to censor Trump. It's at least for 1 month. For Unilever it's the whole year. Statement: www.unileverusa.com Ben & Jerry (A Unilever product) have said "silence is racism" or something like that, and "We Must Dismantle White Supremacy". Unilever has even rebranded some products in India under pressure from idiots that are always wrong and never learn in the USA xd Advertisers are boycotting Twitter and Instagram too, but FB is what we heard most about. Other famous names include KO, Hershey, VZ. Unilever is the world largest advertiser and they're a big chunk of internet platforms revenue. I don't know what the total share of all the boycotters is. Big tech was the one sector pulling the US economy up, and away from a mega depression :) I wonder who started with campaign. Oh, it happened to be the ADL, didn't see that coming. "Provide audit of and refund to advertisers whose ads were shown next to content that was later removed for violations of terms of service. We have documented many examples of companies’ advertisements running alongside the horrible content that Facebook permits. That is not what most advertisers pay for, and they shouldn’t have to." KO has an official statement on their website: www.coca-colacompany.com The Oligarchy wants social media to follow Stalin example and remove everything. Just a few months before the NWO is introduced. The oligarchy shall not let Zuck not censor the US president, and "fight hate speech" (promote marxism, the nwo, the oligarchy). Some companies have already started to drool and congratulate themselves on their power over social media. And on the other side, the US executive have issued an order to punish social media over their censoring of conservatives, and the social media shield from 25 years ago (they're not publishers) is being rethought. Trump also wants to modernize anti trust laws. Trump wants to permanently "boycott" federal ads on social networks. Stuck. Pulled from both sides! If Trump wins FB TWTR etc will be in big big trouble xd. They must be praying for the democrats to win, presidency and congress, so at least they can survive. No need to explain what could happen on an investment perspective. FB has thousands of advertisers thought. And not the first time they do this, or threaten to. Huge companies will stop at nothing to preserve wageslavery. Even if dems win social media will be in trouble, it's expensive to run a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. They have billions of users, but maybe they can use garbage algos like youtube? Having to refund advertisers thought xd This can only end well. As you can expect, UNI have been criticized for not having enough blacks at the top, which is their fault of course. So on 1 side we have the government, that is against regulations and against big government and pro business and pro profit. On the other side we have big companies, oligarchs, that are pro marxist-stalinist ideas and want a bigger government and big control and censorship and anti-business, the boycott is called "Stop Hate for Profit". 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🌍
