Latest on all the stories you can head to dot com and stay with us for the cars were talking about russias gold reserves and negative Interest Rates in europe and if youre watching the u. K. More Financial News next. I am max guys or this is the kaiser report i learned a new word in spanish see ya do yes. Actually its already just made up actually its not even that its a word stacey made up. This well this is a good time to introduce me to Stacy Herbert because i invented this new word adios and well just seeing this tweet here would me q think its time its byebye for fiats this is from mario draggy that tweet is from the e. C. B. And they are quoting mario draggy who is outgoing head of the e. C. B. Negative rates will not provoke the collapse of the Financial System this is what mario draghi claimed as soon as you get official denial of course that is when to believe we are about to witness the collapse of the Financial System. From. Big countries accumulate big positions in gold thats an exit from because we know that over the past 300 years no fear money has survived theyve all gone to 0 the average lifespan being 27 years with the exception maybe the british pound but its lost 99. 5 percent of its purchasing power so to stay in fear is an admission of venezuela i want to lose all my money or yeah im the 1. 00 more republic its all going to go to 0 people are exiting fear out there fear i have you listening. They are saying and of course we are here in la we go at a big coin conference and this is that solver an individual saying adios to their exiting because they see that these negative rates are destroying capital and we see that the negative rates are destroying economies in fact when the e. C. B. Cut rates further this past week actually the netherlands france and germany their central bankers were urging the e. C. B. Not to do this because there was a Strong Capital of course our president in the United States donald trump was encouraging the bad to catch up to the e. C. B. And other Central Banks to go negative now you dont have to know that much about history to know that this same exact thing happened prewar all the war to it happened after the financial collapse of 1929 we saw a beggar thy neighbor policy and this is active all out is starting to become all out its been slow its been kind of quiet and polite for the since 2008 but now its getting aggressive all right so you know. Money has a perfect track record of always failing its never survived and so why should we believe them this time when they start telling us that they have a scheme a cunning plan to make their money stop going to 0 so heres an article from Bloomberg Bloomberg dot com and of course bloomberg is associated with the Financial System and wall street and writing headlines about wall street so here is their headline about fiance yos essentially because again they look from 2008 the financial crisis 10 years ago and they noticed in the past 10 years russias huge gold stash is now worth more than 100000000000. 00 the value of russias gold reserves climbed 42 percent in the past year russia is diversifying. From u. S. Assets and gold has rallied so theyre saying that russias long term bet their long running bet on gold is actually starting to pay off as gold prices start to rally and they note that the country quadrupled gold reserves in the past decade as a diversified away from u. S. Assets a move that has paid off recently as haven demand sent prices to a 6 year high in the past year the value of the nations gold jumped 42 percent to 109500000000. 00 and the metal now makes up the biggest share of russias total reserves since 2000. The world is not abandoning the dollar the dollar is abandoning the world and you know very. Of explaining whats happening around the world in terms of countries whether its turkey china russia poland buying hundreds of tons of gold and the dollar or i should say gold making new highs against every major currency in the world all time highs except for the dollar thatll come soon. In fact citi Group Believes its going to hit a new all time high in u. S. Dollar terms based on this tweet from mark obyrne of gold core citi group says goldman top record at 2000. 00 per ounce city is bullish on gold due to the prospect of the fed cutting Interest Rates to 0 geo political tensions and rising risks of a global recession. So here you have. And we are leading were heading into a new us election us. You know the Federal Reserve doesnt like to be seen to be involved in the political process so you know how theyre going to behave in the next year is unknown at this point but certainly trump is parading them and demanding negative Interest Rates even which i dont know if he understands it but im not sure that it could survive negative rates as you know mario draghi said the Financial System can survive negative rates but i think hes maybe only talking about the euro whether it can survive negative rates in the u. S. Dollar as well. If you have the World Reserve currency of the u. S. Dollar and you reaping a benefit from having that worth currency for decades after world war 2 Bretton WoodsWorld Reserve currency the u. S. Dollar if you begin to globalize indeed dollar rise the rest of the world has one very simple recourse by tons of gold hundreds of tons of gold and to repair for when you finally pull the pin on the grenade and blow the u. S. Dollar just move the rings and ear is sitting there with very little gold reserves to your debt versus a country like russia which now has a huge percentage of gold per g. D. P. Per their capitalization of that country and other countries as well so the rest of the world is like watching america 2 year old play the razor blade razor blade is selfinflicted harm due to ignoring the us dollar and by going down the rabbit hole of negative Interest Rates the rest of the world saying do it do it pull the pin pull the pin because already weve got the gold teeth of them down pull the pin down and donald like follow along. Well he himself cannot cut Interest Rates he can only burn rate fed chairman jay powell whether or not jay powell ever abides by this we do not know because there are people who will say the dollar will instantly die so i think you see nations like russia you see nations like china these Major Trading partners especially china to the us prepare for it eventually exit in america theres another headline from the past week that i also think is a sign of do you dollar ization from those who actually have no access to capital who have no savings who have no wealth but a way to do dollar eyes is also to blow up the system in terms of just spending so much more money than you possibly have because this was an amazing story breaking u. S. Consumer credit rose by 23300000000. 00 in july beating all estimates mostly driven by Credit Card Debt so you know i think. No way this is also individuals who dont who dont own gold nation states who own gold but these individuals are people who sense that this like the free ride the easy money is over and times are about to get hard and its hard being hard its hard living within your means its hard having hard money and living under a hard money it has a better stronger economy ultimately but to live within your means here these guys are just like its its a sign that they understand whats coming well if you look at the board of directors for companies that manufacture oxycontin other opiate products and you look at the board of directors of Credit Card Companies like visa master card youll see a lot of overlap between these 2 board of directors because both products of those credit or heroin synthetic heroin are marketed in the same way you take it to feel good to ease the pain and they both lead to the same outcome stronger the street with nothing with a needle in your arm cursing the day you were born and thats unfortunately going to replace the American Flag is the image of america in the 21st century in the world the numbers your g. D. P. Everything can be fake so it doesnt you dont know until the tide goes out whether or not you know those unemployment numbers would suggest hey these create this Consumer Credit card number remember credit card rates right now are at an all time high Interest Rates are at 0 percent or even negative as we pointed out negative Interest Rates in europe and yet credit card Interest Rates that which you charge the consumer is at an all time high in the United States and despite this consumers have increased their volume of debt on their so either theyre really confident that their jobs and their futures and their incomes are contributing continuing to climb and that they could pay this off or theyre very desperate theyre in a desperate situation and theyll even resort to this usurious rates to. Survive another day we dont know until it all blows up if it does right its another example of financial vandalism thats being called right because Interest Rates all move in concert whether its the discount rate or credit card rates they should all move up and down in concert and credit card rates should not be left up their mid teens with the Interest Rate interbank rate 0 or negative thats vandalism by the bankers so and i want to turn to this final headline here from Brian Mcdonald and its a tweet and it reads meanwhile are you underscore r. B. C. Reports that russias reserves are now larger than its credit obligations this means russia is one of only 2 European Countries that essentially has no public debt the other is norway so of course these are 2 oil majors norway and russia and. There. Despite what the b. B. C. Had said 2 years ago or 3 years ago when they predicted a balance of payments crisis which means that your ex terminal debts are larger than your the size of your reserves that you cant cover them so here theyre saying that theres no danger of any sort of crisis because they have more cash and they have debt its amazing because of course norway has a Sovereign Wealth Fund. But its mostly in stocks and based assets and russia has the equivalent of a Sovereign Wealth Fund but its all in gold bullion 24. 00 carat gold bullion so this will be an interesting. Whos holding the better hand well see whos holding the better hand in fact russia has 40 percent of their reserves are in the euro theyre also accumulating un. Chinese renminbi so theyre actually apparently according to some on line stories that theyre going to be issuing bonds as well rather than most people do a dollar bond so were seeing. Dollar is asian this is all just normal and has happened throughout history one empire rises the other falls this is the rise of china in terms of. If you look they are the number one trade partner with most nations so it just makes sense that you would expand your rim in the reserves whether or not china ultimately wants out or whether they want gold backed currency gold backed trade settlements currency as a unit of account or a bank or a like currency well see in the future i remember one little bit of us holding up a gold coin you know this about maybe 2008 or so its like you know hes telling the world this is where were at it and thats exactly what they want well were going to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way. Join me every 1st day on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. He. Should. Go. With. His blog on the. Culture when he does it cause you know the false so. You can sleep. With the bulls of them some of them some of the last ones there was enough to know something. Is related to the british. Song to die i mean shes on that sound a soft spot the mouthpiece down at this time out on top. While. Most. Only wonderful if the computer the police who study the Police Reports from the way. Welcome back to the kaiser report im max kaiser time now to turn to frances both of the l is the c. E. O. Of bull bit going. Canadas Bitcoin Company francis welcome thanks max its a pleasure awesome to have you been following you for years youve been following us for years of it and its all part of this incredible big coin space youre a big part of it certainly in canada and i wanted to just jump right in and ask you since youve been involved in big clients is 2013 what do you think over the past 6 years some of the highlights of ben i think some of the highlights of decline has been how the community in the industry has responded to to the challenges of this emerging technology i think a good example of that is the 1st big corn hike. That happened in 2014 mt gox of 2014 who could forget. Such an incredible amount of because theres been lost and how the community respond to it in a couple of ways the 1st one was this awareness that people should have the custody of their own because hold your own keys has become since then and increasingly in the last few years a big montreaux of you if you dont hold the keys you dont own the coins which is a common saying this is not something for example that was popular or a part of the narrative before and as a result of this hack theres been a ton of solutions they vote for a multibillion churchill hardware well its another good example of how the community was antifragile following a crisis or something volatile was this whole episode of. 2 x. 4 the big quote unlimited for big cash required as the as a result of all these tensions and drama and conflict. Started to run their own followers and that became another big attendant of the because. Now its hold your own keys and run your own nodes and tons of products and services have been developed in response to this new market need which was created through this core narrative you know the cast the huddle all those physical nodes. Server project which removes the real. And some 3rd party no its my own projects are for node. Is no longer so i think i think whats incredible to see is that. Because its kind of a living and evolving organism right and as soon as something bad happens to it there is a need to reaction and as a result the network is stronger and more resilient than it was in the 1st place right its a living organism somehow postulated that the parallels to living organisms actually extend into whole ecosystems or organisms in nature that we find and the statement that someone made it could have been me is that you dont change Bitcoin Bitcoin changes you totally absolutely what do you think of this really agree i mean i cant even remember what i was before because i mean its kind of like a new beginning i have is that the game theory working on your mind in my mind in the collective mind and so to explain how that works or a little bit how little means to you i mean one of the one of the greatest things that i see in people is their time preference right so their time rising maybe they become much more concerned about the future they start thinking about you know their children they start thinking about Long Term Solutions they start thinking about you know longer legacies what the worlds going to be like after that because this idea that you can store wealth for a very very large amount of time with big corn makes you start to think about the future you know with throughout history governments i was trying to pawn off the population you know printing money bread and circuses you know part of the roman empire and never ever in history has there been an confiscated ball digital scarcity hard money commodity money available to the individual and in the beginning there was a time in the notice that toshi not come out where there was a fear that you know we should be quiet about this let the hash rate get up a bit because we know we want to keep this under the radar. Now approaching 100 quintillion have. Calculations per 2nd is it now beyond the reach of any government or group of governments to engage in an attack on because i think its definitely much harder than it was a few years ago but the last thing we should do is sit on our laurels and think weve already won the battle i mean you look at the bank of International Settlements you look at the International Monetary fund all the Central Banks hold all the Government Agencies and all the big banks like j. P. Morgan that are responsible for you know the ponzi and and their centralized i mean theyre not at home thinking oh my gosh darn it we lost a bad car and were going to do were going to get this another going to fight back right but thats built into the protocol yeah thats part of the game theory is just going to in fact another group of people join me diamond or the yes and theyre now getting fever they will try to attack it but that just makes the hash rate go higher absolutely and thats the beautiful because it is like the more you attack it the more the white blood cells which is you know the big entrepreneurs the big con millers the. People who are working in this industry that they get to work getting attacked and need to move into action and theyre finding new Creative Entrepreneurial Solutions to these kinds of problems and i think over time im pretty happy with the way that this has evolved because because it has been attacked it has been the victim of social attack it has been the victim of how shrewd attacks weve had hostile miners have tried to attack it
