Those of you who track silver

What's driving silver now?

Impending supply shock as the LBMA's (now mostly the COMEX's) silver ocean continues to evaporate.

Silver stockpiles have also slumped in China (Shanghai). China restricts the Chinese to only selling gold to the state an treats silver much the same as gold, and has permitted (regulated) agents through which gold (silver) might be released in Shanghai to the global market - controls the flow and as such can command/direct the price.

With much of the world de-risking USD and SWIFT (US controlled international trade settlements) to adopt gold/silver/independent (separate) trade settlement systems/currencies) that relatively weakens the US/strengthens China (which in turn means the US wont be so easily able to export inflation - print/spend dollars on the like of military might).



"True wealth is your time and freedom" for many they'll be working longer for less and having their freedoms curtailed (digital currencies/virtual ID cards via mobile phone devices activity/movement monitoring). The educated know the value of holding some gold/silver, the uneducated are more inclined to belittle gold/silver.

I LOVE Mike Maloney's Hidden Secrets of Money series.

Yes, some of it is a little bit sophomoric, but it's still a great blend of information and entertainment. I also note that he was quite early to get onto the crypto-as-hard-money bandwagon. He must have done quite well for himself, assuming he's held on since then.

Just bookmarked it in Firefox. I've been doing a lot of work recently which allows me to listen to podcasts. Hopefully, I will be able to get to that one. Have stockpiled a lot of them, which motivated me yesterday to get them all organized.

Nice! Yeah, I love listening to podcasts while doing manual or repetitive things like shovelling the snow. Almost makes the task enjoyable!

Which is why I get to listen to many more of them from April to October when I am outside and away from this computer. From November to March I live in front of this computer, which then gets my brain occupied with things that don't allow me to listen to podcasts.
