How come they’re not buying bitcoin?

The US Treasury might start buying Bitcoin.

Thought/heard somewhere that they already did own thousands of bitcoins ??

EDIT ... the duck shouted out https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-as ... -bitcoins/

The US currently holds roughly 207,000 bitcoin

Looks like the chance of peace in the middle east is Making Gold Affordable Again.

Posted: **Mon Nov 25, 2024 3:11 pm**

last thing i think investors with already existing substantial positions want an investment to do is to fall and become affordable again

Can’t speak for others, mathjak, but I need more gold.

usually as time goes on what most investors can add in a down turn doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in performance vs the set back a drop in price causes .

it’s like at one time a good bear market in stocks maybe meant a few months of contributions to my 401k were wiped away .

today a mere 7% drop wipes out more then a decade of contributions at max.

what would get added is peeing in the ocean compared to the effect the drop would have

Well, you’re old enough to know that assets don’t continually rise, no matter what one wants.
And, I’m still young enough to happily accumulate as the price goes down.

Got my first gold Libertad today, influenced by Mark Leavy.

It’s just a 1/4 oz since they’re way more expensive than other gold coins. I’m used to crown gold and thought it looked a bit too yellow, almost green under the light, but it does indeed look beautiful under the skylight. I need a new light.

Got a silver one, too.

Posted: **Sun Jan 05, 2025 10:15 am**

Silver Libertads are really beautiful coins. I haven't seen a gold one other than internet pictures. Does it (the gold Libertad) have the same detail as the silver version?

Posted: **Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:34 am**

The same, yep.

Trump at Davos says he'll "demand that interest rates drop immediately". During a period of sticky-upward inflation. Financial repression. Great for gold. Bring it!

When questioned about that later he admitted it was hyperbole, that he just wanted to make a strong statement.

Which again makes me amazed how anyone believes anything he has to say!

Whenever anyone says a lie to me that either I know is a lie at the time or later find out .... that person gets severe black marks and loses lots of trust from me. Any future thing that person says to me is now going to be suspect unless I can independently verify it to be true.

Yet ... the Grand Liar gets the most votes in our country!

You have to remember that Trump is all about persuasion and negotiation. I suppose everyone has to decide for themselves where the line gets drawn between a negotiation tactic and a lie. Your line may be in a different place than others.

I believe I've mentioned here before that Trump's supporters take him seriously but not literally, and Trump's detractors take him seriously but not literally. This is a good example.

For all of history can you name one other leader with integrity wherein their supporters took them seriously but not literally"?

Would you want to work any company where the president / owner was not to be taken literally?

How do you fathom exactly what the person means??!!

Is it supposed to be like poetry? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of what the message is?

Otherwise, this resembles the book 1984!

What we're hearing aren't direct orders from him as our superior; what we hear are his pronouncements. They indicate the direction he'd like to go; where his head is on things.

I'm not saying it's good, but that's the way to be listening.

I was always lost on figurative speech. Never could read between the lines. If I cannot take him literally then that leaves me not knowing at all what he means.

I believe in leaders who speak clearly with no ambiguity in their statements.

Do you have any examples of leaders that met your standards?
