Murphy of GATA.org
returns with his perspective on the PMs sector.
Savvy
central banks around the globe recognize the
strategic significance of bullion as sound money
as seen by the continuing trend of PMs accumulation.
Russia
recently added several tons of 70 lbs. silver
bars to the national stockpile, setting a new
precedent.
The
silver bullion market is vulnerable to a short-squeeze,
merely one billionaire could corner the silver
market - according to Forbes, there are currently
1,425 billionaires, worldwide.
As
demand for high capacity battery power increases,
due in part to electric cars / trucks, etc.,
silver demand will likely soar beyond current
forecasts.
While
investors focus on Bitcoin / Altcoins, few realize
that without significant silver based electronics,
many electronic activities and devices would
be impossible.
Current
official figures indicate that there is considerably
more gold in above ground reserves than silver.
Silver
investment supply is more rare than gold on
a purely investment basis, despite the fact
that gold is 80 times more costly!
37
US states have passed legislation to restore
gold / silver to the that status outlined by
the national founders, as Constitutional money,
including the latest, Wyoming and Alabama.
The
trend in gold repatriation continues unabated
- Hungary is the latest nation to demand the
return of its sovereign gold stockpile.
Hungarian
officials are following the precedent of Austria,
Netherlands, Germany, and Venezuela, perhaps
on fears of rehypothecation exposure.
Max
and Stacy visit scenic Puerto Rico, attending
3 crypto conferences (figure 1.1.).
Our
guest graciously gifted hurricane
relief in Puerto Rico via donations
/ contributions to help locals rebuild
in the wake of the island's most devastating
hurricane.
Peter
Schiff expects gold and silver to experience
a renaissance in 2018.
While
gold remains the de facto safe haven asset,
Bitcoin has competing aspects that are
particularly appealing during political
turmoil.
Political
refugees can simply memorize their Bitcoin private
key and relocate to asylum without fear of confiscation
or risk abandoning large assets.
Goldman
Sachs recently launched a Bitcoin trading desk
and announced plans for institutional custodial
services, integral to directing hundreds of
billions of dollars from deep pockets.
2018
will mark the genesis of custodial access to
Bitcoin and related coins, which could be an
exciting time for investors.
The
relatively tiny $500 billion crypto market seeks
to match the $8 trillion PMs sector (figure
1.1.).
Back
of the envelope analysis suggests that Bitcoin
could run to $100,000+ on institutional interest
alone by 2020, which mirrors several predictions
of top analysts.
Crypto
assets represent a significant improvement over
fiat money via: decentralization, virtually
free transactions and anonymity.
Bitcoin is essentially a top of the line, highly
useful Swiss Army knife / Samurai sword combo,
compared to a fiat money, dime store pocket
knife.
Similar
to gold, Bitcoin "Hodled", making
the currency even more scarce.
Bitcoin
resembles the technological revolution of the
VCR, DVD, DVR, ROKU and Firestik.
Such
revolutions did not enhance the movie theater
experience but enhanced it, the genesis of vast
new marketspaces and utility for aficionados.
Cryptocurrencies are the natural evolution of
money, the perfect amalgamation of digital efficiency,
software flexibility, fiat convenience, and
gold-like consensus.
Teeka
Tiwari posits why even professional investors
are perplexed by the seemingly inexplicable
rise from sub $0.001 Bitcoin to $10,000+.
Bitcoin represents the first time in modern
financial history where the small investor on
Main Street had access to entry level investments,
typically reserved for Wall Street.
Most
securities / shares are underwritten by Wall
Street, where early adopters received shares
at fire sale prices, such as $.01 (figure 1.1.).
The
case for government shutdown of Bitcoin has
proven frivolous - S. Korean officials were
forced to overturn anti-Bitcoin rules as defiant
Bitcoin users stormed the streets in protest.
Given
that the SEC, IRS and CFTC each have a different
designation for Bitcoin, asset / security /
commodity, regulators are stymied to define
the asset.
Each time a nation has attempted to shut down
the internet, the backbone of cryptos, the backlash
was so intense that policymakers were forced
to capitulate.
Just
as "Rock 'n Roll is here to stay,"
like it or not, leaders are advised to embrace,
not fight the crypto movement.
