“Not ironic Wolfgang, it is the way it always had to be in the end…”
Bill,
The irony of this unfolding scenario is unmistakable.
For years now, young investors have ignored and discarded gold and relied on the crypto world for safety.
Now, to enhance the safety and stability of stablecoins, the crypto world has turned to gold!
Tether’s gold purchases could support prices for years - Jefferies
“This means Tether is the largest holder of gold outside central banks, and its holdings are roughly equal to smaller central banks such as Korea, Hungary, and Greece,” the analysts said.

Tether’s gold purchases could support prices for years – Jefferies
(Kitco News) – Central bank gold purchases and investment demand have been two key factors driving gold prices to record highs this year, but one investment firm is looking at another segment of the gold market that is starting to attract significant attention.
For years, many analysts have expected tokenized gold to be the next evolution in the precious metals space, and it appears its time has come, as Tether Limited, the leader in cryptocurrency stablecoins, has become a major player in the sector.
Fahad Tariq and Andrew Moss, equity analysts at Jefferies, recently published a report on Tether’s growing influence in the gold market and the transformative impact this demand could have on gold and the mining industry.

CME’s “Cooling Failure”: When Zero Free Float Silver and 400 Million Ounces Standing for Delivery Blow the Fuse on the Servers
Silver’s Moment of Truth: When the Screen Went Dark and 400 Million Ounces Knocked
The moment the screen went dark, every silver trader on the planet knew something had snapped. Silver futures had been grinding higher for months, each dip devoured faster than the last, but that night the tape stopped behaving like a market and started behaving like an escape attempt. Asian buying bled into London, London bled into New York pre-market, and the chart turned into a near-vertical line as bids chased price and offers simply stopped showing up. What was supposed to be a risk-management tool had become the eye of the storm. Then, at the precise tick where a new all-time high printed, the feed froze. No quotes. No trades. Just a bright, clean nothing where a liquidity inferno had been seconds before.

… and at $1.24 trillion in LTM interest expense, it means that 24 cents of every dollar in collected taxes goes to pay interest on the debt.”
Game Over DOGE: US Starts Fiscal 2025 With Record Budget Deficit, Shocking Interest Expense
It was back in February, when we explained to Elon Musk why his strategy to shock the US government into spending “efficiency” through DOGE, while noble, is ultimately doomed to wit: “What Musk is doing in trying to streamline the govt is admirable but ultimately it will be Congress that decides the endgame. And there things are as status quo as always.”
Status quo it was indeed, and it took the world’s richest man several months to realize it, and while there has been a heated fight in the press whether DOGE is still technically active inside the Trump admin, we have some bad news: after a valiant start to 2025, the US has regressed to its old drunken-sailor spending ways… and has seemingly done so on steroids.

“Pastor Stanley checks in with Thanksgiving 1789”
George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation October 3, 1789
Many thanks to Danny at Deep South Homestead for his podcast on George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of October 3, 1789.
After reading this profound and yet succinct declaration it is indeed sobering to realize just to what depths that These United States have fallen. It is God who gives us our sustenance. It is God who for so many years has rendered mercy for a sometimes stiff necked people. And because where the Lord is, there is liberty:
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

Breaking: EU and India Bypass SWIFT
The European Central Bank has entered new territory by moving to link its TARGET Instant Payment Settlement system with India’s UPI network, marking the first time the EU’s instant-payments infrastructure has been directly connected with a BRICS nation.
India and the Euro Area have agreed to begin formal work on linking the country’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with the Eurosystem’s TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) rail, according to a statement released by the Reserve Bank of India. The move will create a direct cross border instant payment channel between INR and EUR retail systems once technical integration is completed.

“Silver being remonetized into the system”
India’s 2026 Silver Bomb: The Great Remonetization
In a move that has stunned global markets and delighted advocates of hard assets, India has quietly detonated a monetary bombshell: the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is bringing silver back into the financial system. Beginning April 1, 2026, Indian banks will be authorized to accept silver as loan collateral. It’s the first modern recognition of silver as a monetary asset since the metal was gradually sidelined from global finance a century ago. But this is no symbolic gesture—it’s a calculated strategy that connects household wealth, national reserves, and geopolitical realignment under one glittering metal.
A Policy Hiding in Plain Sight
Announced in late 2025, the RBI’s new framework signals India’s official “remonetization” of silver. Under the plan, citizens can pledge up to 10 kilograms of silver jewelry or coins as collateral for personal or business loans, with banks able to lend up to 85 percent of the value. The collateral must be returned within seven days of repayment—an essential safeguard in a nation where trust in financial intermediaries can waver.

Two Investing Titans Issue the Same Warning
When Ray Dalio and Jeff Gundlach – two legendary investors with wildly different worldviews – start warning about the same thing, it’s worth paying attention. Both say today’s economy is distorted, and warn that “illusory wealth” may vanish when reality hits…
A question for you: In what world would billionaire investing legends Ray Dalio and Jeffrey Gundlach come to the same conclusion about the economy?
Answer: This one.
Now, if you’re not familiar with either of these financial giants, a little background may be useful.
Ray Dalio is the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s most successful hedge fund.
Jeffrey Gundlach has been trading government debt so successfully for so long he’s called the “Bond King.”
Which means that these two men amassed their fortunes with wildly different philosophies and methods about how to do it.
And that makes it especially surprising that they’ve come to the same conclusions.

Why screening for the deadliest cancer in the U.S. misses most cases
At the time, a primary care physician diagnosed the mother of three with pneumonia. But the antibiotics didn’t work and her cough persisted. During a camping trip in the summer, she coughed up blood. She kept losing weight. She wasn’t able to sleep.
Six months later, Creel, then 42, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. She was active, a runner and a swimmer, didn’t drink, and had never even held a cigarette.
More diagnoses like hers are prompting cancer and public health experts to call for changes to lung cancer screening guidelines.

“What gold?”
Bill,
The very fact that gold is still valued at $40 / oz. on our books tells me immediately that it's not ours.
There is no need to mark to market if it doesn't belong to us anymore.
If all that gold was ours, we certainly value it at current prices.

New Senate bill demands full audit of U.S. gold reserves, additional refinement to meet global standards
(Kitco News) – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) introduced a bill on Wednesday which, if passed, will trigger the first comprehensive audit of America’s gold reserves in decades.
The senate version of the Gold Reserve Transparency Act demands a full inventory, audit, and accounting of all transactions involving U.S. federal government gold. It also calls for a new process for refinement of the gold so that it meets global market standards – as the majority of U.S. gold currently does not.
Representatives Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Addison McDowell, and Troy Nehls also recently introduced a similar bill in the House.

Global Silver Mine Supply To Fall Even Lower In 2025
This is quite interesting because with the #Silver price more than double since 2015, mine production is down 10% from peak.
This chart from data earlier this year, shows growth to 835 Moz in 2025, but it was wrong.

According to the data from Metals Focus for the Silver Institute’s November Silver Interim Report…
The 2024 Silver Mine supply was revised lower to 813 Moz, and the 2025 supply was also reduced from 835 Moz to 813 Moz.

BRICS‑backed payments network now spans 185 countries
The BRICS-linked Cross-Border Interbank Payments System (CIPS) has expanded across 185 countries, allowing international payments in Chinese yuan without using the U.S. dollar, according to data from the New Development Bank (NDB).
CIPS was launched by China and managed by its central bank as “a real alternative for global trade settlements.”
At the Shanghai Oil and Gas Exchange, liquefied natural gas contracts are now priced for and paid in yuan. Same thing with soybeans from the Shenzhen Qianhai Joint Trading Center.

Kevin Spacey Reveals He Is Homeless After Losing $5.6 Million Baltimore Home to Foreclosure Amid Costly Legal Battles
Hollywood legend Kevin Spacey has revealed that he is homeless, having lost his lavish Baltimore property to foreclosure while dealing with the soaring cost of the legal fees involved in defending himself against a spate of sexual assault allegations.
Spacey, 66, was once one of the most sought-after actors in the industry, enjoying a series of major blockbuster roles, including appearances in “Se7en” alongside Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, and the sensationally popular political series “House of Cards.”
But after several claims of sexual assault and misconduct began being levied against him in 2017, the actor became a persona non grata in Hollywood—a stigma that has remained even after he was acquitted of all charges of sexual assault by a London court in 2023.
