Militia Man  Article:  "The deletion of the zeros and evaluate the dinar"  They're talking about the concept of currency revaluation which means, quote:  "...a calculated upward adjustment of a country's official exchange rate..."  This particular article supports the fact that they're openly educating their citizens as we speak...I think you guys really should know how close this is because why would they be talking about this now when it wouldn't be necessary?  It would be absolutely 100% talking about it now because they want  to make sure everybody knows what's happening, without saying what's happening.  That's how it works.  It's fascinating to watch...

Why The Bond Market Collapse Could Trigger The "End Game" | Rafi Farber

Liberty and Finance:  11-19-2024

Rafi Farber highlights that bond yields have been rising even as the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates, which is unusual.

Historically, when the Fed cuts rates, long-term bond yields tend to fall. This phenomenon hasn't occurred since 1981, signaling that the bond market may be in a bear market.

Farber suggests that the only way the Fed could halt rising bond yields is by buying up the entire bond market, similar to Japan's strategy. However, this could lead to the collapse of the dollar, as the Fed can't engage in such extreme measures without undermining the world's reserve currency.

Tishwash:  Iraq launches long-awaited population census, Prime Minister says

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced that Wednesday, November 20, will mark “a significant developmental and civilizational milestone” as Iraq embarks on its long-awaited census.

In a televised address, al-Sudani stated, "We are initiating the national population census to complete the priorities of the government program, aiming to make the census a modern scientific tool for planning," expressing the government's commitment to serving the Iraqi people.

The census aims, according to Al-Sudani, to shape economic and social development using modern, scientific methods, addressing information gaps in planning, service delivery, and national decision-making.

“Advanced and accurate electronic methods would be used to ensure the census results are reliable and beneficial for the present and future of Iraq.” He said.

The Prime Minister considered that data generated from this census will serve as a “tool for informed decision-making and ensuring equitable distribution of resources and services across governorates," al-Sudani said.

Al-Sudani urged citizens to cooperate with the teams conducting the census, clarifying that it is not related to taxes or social protection but is essential for development across all sectors.

Notably, the census, scheduled for November 20-21, will provide Iraq with its first accurate and comprehensive population data in decades. The last nationwide census was conducted in 1987, while the most recent one in 1997 excluded the Kurdistan Region. Current estimates place Iraq's population at around 43 million.

More than 120,000 field researchers will go door to door, collecting data from households using electronic tablets, in a process supported by the United Nations.

Available in Arabic, Kurdish, and English, the census form will feature 70 questions covering religion, health, education, labor, and economic activity. However, questions regarding an individual's ethnicity, language spoken at home, and ancestry have been excluded.

The initial results will be announced within 24 hours, with the final figures expected to be released within three months. link

CHAINLINK COLLABORATES WITH MICROSOFT ON CBDC COMMISSIONED BY BRAZIL’S CENTRAL BANK

Blockchain oracle service provider Chainlink (LINK) is working on a pilot project for Brazil’s proposed central bank digital currency (CBDC) called DREX with Microsoft and other firms in the country.

In a press release, Chainlink says it is collaborating with Microsoft Brazil, digital bank Banco Inter and blockchain finance firm 7COMm to build a trade finance solution as part of the second phase of the DREX pilot.

The goal of the pilot, according to the announcement, is to “demonstrate the automated settlement of agricultural commodity transactions across borders, across platforms, and via different currencies.”

Chainlink will use its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to create interoperability between Brazil’s Central Bank and other foreign banks using DREX, ensuring efficient transaction settlements.

The pilot also aims to tokenize an Electronic Bill of Lading (eBoL) – or receipts for cargo used by shippers and carriers – and put them on-chain using supply chain data to trigger payments to exporters.

Says Angela Walker, global head of banking and capital markets at Chainlink Labs,

“We look forward to working with the Central Bank of Brazil, Banco Inter, and Microsoft to demonstrate how the adoption of blockchain technology combined with Chainlink’s interoperability protocol CCIP can transform trade finance… Chainlink CCIP is essential to enabling secure cross-border, cross-currency, and cross-chain transactions and will help showcase what tokenized assets can do at scale for this key CBDC use case in Brazil.”

Chainlink’s CCIP technology was recently used by Swiss crypto firm Taurus in its proof-of-concept run with asset management giant State Street to tokenize funds.

Chainlink creator Sergey Nazarov recently predicted that CCIP would help real-world assets (RWAs) overtake the value of all other sectors in crypto, and become the main mechanisms that allows traditional finance to bring trillions of dollars into the blockchain industry.

“So this is kind of the world that I think we should all be preparing for, and that the Chainlink ecosystem is working towards, by both enabling DeFi to grow and be secure and reach the kind of level of reliability and guarantees that the DeFi community needs and that the TradFi community needs, and enabling the TradFi community’s value to flow onto blockchains and into the DeFi ecosystem eventually.

What this will result in, if it works as intended, is CCIP (cross-chain interoperability protocol) becoming one of the key protocols of the Internet, what we call the Internet of contracts and internet of value. Because CCIP is fundamentally the data and value transport mechanism by which that data and value flows into and across all of those chains.”

BRIAN ARMSTRONG PROPOSES US SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND THAT PAYS AMERICANS DIVIDENDS THROUGH ELON MUSK’S D.O.G.E.

Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong is proposing a plan that would pay dividends to Americans while making the size of the government leaner.

Armstrong says on the social media platform X that President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a “once in a lifetime opportunity” to “cut the size of government back to health.”

According to the Coinbase CEO, America’s founding fathers may have failed to anticipate the tendency of politicians to promise more free stuff in an effort to get more votes.

“To future-proof this, we may need a constitutional amendment capping total government expenditure (at say 10%), or a way to align incentives.”

Armstrong says that the creation of a US sovereign wealth fund could potentially help in increasing federal government spending when necessary while curtailing expenditure over the long term.

“You’d ideally have a way to temporarily dial up burn (say in wartime), but still have the right incentives to not let spending get totally out of control longer term.

An example would be a US sovereign wealth fund, where every citizen gets a share (maybe people can buy more if they want), and any budget surplus pays a dividend.

Every citizen then has skin in the game. Maybe Congress gets a slightly larger stake.”

To support his argument for a leaner US federal government, the Coinbase CEO says,

“[Economist and Nobel laureate] Milton Friedman famously suggested the function of government be limited to:

1. Courts to enforce contracts and settle disputes.

2. Police to keep the peace at home (enforce laws, protect property rights).

3. Military for national defense.”

Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, who was handpicked by Trump to spearhead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), responded to Armstrong saying, “Milton Friedman was great.”

Last week, President-elect Donald Trump announced he was appointing Musk and biotech entrepreneur, Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead DOGE shortly after his election. Trump said DOGE would help his administration’s quest to “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies.”

Clare:  Iraqi Prime Minister: Tomorrow we will take an important step that has been delayed for years

11/19/2024

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed that tomorrow, Wednesday, will be an important civilized and developmental step, as the long-awaited general population and housing census will begin after years of delay.

Al-Sudani said in a televised speech, "We are starting to implement the general population census to complete the priorities of the government program, and we seek for the census to be a modern scientific tool in planning."

He pointed out that the government took the decision to implement the census with great confidence in the capabilities of its government agencies, and that it is determined to serve the Iraqi people.

He explained that "the best modern methods were adopted to conduct the census in a scientific and accurate electronic manner, so that the results would serve the present and future of Iraqis."

He also added that the database that will result from the census will be a valuable tool for serving state institutions, and will contribute to supporting the rights of the segments most in need of service.

He pointed out that "the census is not just numbers that accumulate, but rather it is the dividing line between guesswork and facts and a decisive means of determining vital and effective decisions."

The Prime Minister called on citizens to cooperate with the teams tasked with conducting the census, stressing that the census has nothing to do with tax issues or social protection, but rather is a pillar for development and progress in all sectors.

He also praised the role of the Ministry of Planning and the General Authority for Statistics and Information Systems in the preparations they made, and thanked the United Nations Population Fund for its support, as well as the security services that worked to provide a safe and stable environment for the implementation of this operation.

Al-Sudani concluded his speech by saying: “We are confident in the dedication of citizens for the progress of our country, and we believe in a bright future that Iraqis and future generations will be proud of.”  LINK

Clare:  Parliamentary Finance Committee reveals the "impacts" of the population census on "provincial budgets"

11/19/2024

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Jamal Kojer, confirmed on Tuesday that the population census will re-budget all governorates, indicating that the results of the census will be adopted in the budget if it is completed before the budget is prepared.

Kocher said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "It is supposed to re-prepare the budget of all governorates, including the governorates of the Kurdistan Region, based on the population census on the one hand, on the resources on the other hand, and on the sensitivity of the region on the third hand." 

He added, "There are governorates with high population density and therefore they must be taken into consideration in the upcoming budget. There are some governorates that lack resources or have resources, and these resources have social and health implications. Some governorates have a strategic dimension, for example Basra, Baghdad and Erbil, or some are gateways for the state with other countries."

He stressed that "the population census will have its effects in the next budget if the budget is prepared after the completion of the population census. However, if it is not completed, it will be postponed to the 2026 budget to adopt the census results."   LINK

If You Think Bitcoin Is On Fire, Just Wait For The Natural Gas Boom

If You Think Bitcoin Is On Fire, Just Wait For The Natural Gas Boom

November 12, 2024 Notes from the Field By James Hickman / Simon Black

“Wow, these guys are going to be in for a rude wakening about how much power is going to be available. . .” thought Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation Energy.

Dominguez was one of the attendees last May at a private, invitation-only gathering of energy and tech company CEOs held at Microsoft’s headquarters. The whole point was to talk about power.

Everyone already knew that AI was consuming a lot of electricity, and they assumed this demand would grow. A lot. But they didn’t realize by quite how much until OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman told the group that just a single AI model will require as much power as a large city.

Again, that’s just ONE model. And there are plenty of them out there-- Google Gemini, OpenAI, Meta AI, etc. Every major tech company-- not to mention plenty of startups-- have developed or are developing power-hungry AI models.

In terms of energy demand and power consumption, AI will be the equivalent of adding several states to the US over the next few years. And America’s power grid simply doesn’t have the capacity.

Joe Dominguez understood that immediately… which is why his company teamed up with Microsoft to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear power station in Pennsylvania.

But one additional nuclear power plant is barely going to move the needle on America’s energy needs… and it takes way too much time to build new ones.

In fact, the most recent nuclear power facility to come online in the US took more than a decade to build. So even if the industry gets started today (which they won’t), and the permitting process were quick and easy (which it won’t be), nuclear power is still a long way out.

But there’s an easier option for the here and now: natural gas.

I’ve written about this before-- US natural gas is absurdly cheap, especially compared to global prices. That’s because there’s just so damn much of it in the US… combined with the fact that natural gas is complicated to transport.

Oil is simple. Tanker ships crisscross the planet transporting crude from country to country, so the global price for oil is similar everywhere.

But it’s not that way with gas. Natural gas has to first be decontaminated of various impurities at the wellhead in order to be transported in ‘dry’ form through pipelines, then stored underground.

At the moment there is no trans-Atlantic pipeline allowing US natural gas to flow to Europe. And building one would take years if not decades.

That’s why there’s such a tremendous price difference in natural gas between the United States and Europe. The US produces oceans of it but hardly uses it, hence a cheap price. Europe barely produces any but consumes it voraciously, so the price is more than 4x higher.

If only there were a readily available way to transport natural gas across the Atlantic… then US producers would be able to export to Europe. Natural gas would be more like oil-- a global commodity whose price is more or less the same around the world. And the US price would surge.

Well, there actually is a way to do that. Natural gas can be liquefied into a condensed form (about 1/600th of the gaseous volume) and transported at -163C.

Obviously, there’s a cost to liquefying and transporting gas. But a US producer can still make so much more money selling gas to Europe-- even after the additional costs are included.

And this started to happen around 2017; US producers began liquefying their natural gas and exporting to Europe in major quantities. Within a few years, LNG exports were booming.

But then, earlier this year, Joe Biden bowed to the climate fanatics and ordered his Department of Energy to cease issuing permits for new LNG export terminals… essentially shutting down export growth.

It’s safe to expect a totally different policy starting in January, i.e. more US natural gas will flow to Europe. That means less supply in the US. Natural gas prices will rise as a result… and probably by a LOT.

But don’t forget about AI.

Let’s first think about different ways to generate electricity and the types of fuels that are available.

There’s solar and wind, for example. The prices of solar panels in particular… and wind turbines to a degree, are both falling. In large part this is because the Chinese Communist Party heavily subsidizes its domestic solar panel industry.

So, wind and solar are somewhat price competitive. But they carry a security risk: do you really want China manufacturing your entire power grid? Is it possible they built a kill switch in their software?

More importantly, they’re not terribly reliable. There are times (like night!) when the sun doesn’t shine. Germany (which generates nearly 60% of its power from renewable energy) recently experienced yet another dunkelflaute, i.e. a foggy, doldrum period in which there is neither sunshine nor wind.

This doesn’t work for AI. Tech companies need reliability.

Then there’s coal… which is super reliable, not to mention cheap and efficient. But it’s one of the dirtiest fuels known to man. Google won’t get its hands dirty with that one.

Tech companies love nuclear. They understand it is, by far, the most efficient form of energy known to man. But again, new reactors are 10+ years away. AI needs power now.

And that pretty much leaves natural gas. The US has oceans of it and barely uses a fraction of its supply. It’s absurdly cheap. In fact, according to the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory, natural gas is THE cheapest fuel source per MW of electrical capacity.

It’s the cleanest of all the conventional sources. Plus, you can construct a new facility in about two years… so new power can come online quickly. And the Big Tech companies have demonstrated that they are more than willing to shell out the cash needed to finance natural gas power plants.

Between these two trends: AI power demand, and the upcoming export boom, natural gas prices are probably going to soar.

We’ve just watched the Dow Jones Industrial Average rise by 7% to an all-time high in the last week. Bitcoin has surged by more than 30% to its all-time high.

That’s nothing compared to what we could see in the natural gas price.

It’s obviously not going to happen in a week, these trends will take longer to unfold. But it’s definitely a good time to look at some of the extremely undervalued natural gas producers whose profits will boom.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

STABLECOIN ISSUER PAXOS TO ACQUIRE FINLAND’S MEMBRANE FINANCE FOR EU ACCESS

Today stablecoin issuer Paxos said it acquired Finnish e-money institution Membrane Finance, the issuer of EURe. The deal gives Paxos a licensed e-money institution (EMI) enabling access to all EU states, subject to regulatory approval.

Paxos and its affiliates are already regulated in New York, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. Under Europe’s MiCA regulations crypto legislation, registration in one state is passported to all other member states.

Paxos is the issuer of the PayPal stablecoin (PYUSD) and its own Paxos dollar (USDP). Its UAE affiliate has issued a yield bearing stablecoin. And in Singapore it recently launched the Global Dollar Network, which will share interest revenues on the USDG stablecoin with distribution partners.

“Stablecoins offer a global solution to challenges that countless people and companies feel when it comes to money movement and payments. Stablecoins are becoming increasingly more prevalent throughout the market as more use cases emerge for everyday users, “ said Walter Hessert, Head of Strategy at Paxos. “With Membrane, we expect to extend our reach to EU customers looking to benefit from stablecoins.”

Stablecoins in the EU
In terms of other stablecoin players, Circle historically had a strong presence in Europe (Ireland). It chose France as its base for MiCAR, directly registering as an EMI.

MiCA regulations require a high proportion of reserves to be held at banks – 30% for smaller stablecoins and 60% for significant ones. Tether claims this is the reason it has not registered in the EU. However, so far it has chosen to remain offshore, avoiding jurisdictions that require it to be regulated. A large part of Tether’s stablecoin balance is on TRON, a blockchain that’s popular in Africa.

Meanwhile, MiCAR also has some quite complicated rules limiting the scale of foreign currency stablecoins in the EU. However, this is widely misunderstood, so we previously provided a deep dive on the topic.

Bank issued stablecoins are also explored as part of our Research report on tokenized deposits and DLT payments.

JOHN DEATON EMPHASIZES NEED FOR MODERNISED REGULATORY FRAMEWORK, CRITICIZES SEC OVER OUTDATED LAWS

In a latest X post, the pro-XRP lawyer, John Deaton has expressed concerns over the outdated regulatory framework applied by the US SEC in response to Michael Saylor’s interview. He shared that the SEC should be focused on ‘fraud, pump and dump schemes and the bad guys.’

The Need For Modernised Regulatory Framework
He pointed out that we are essentially applying 1933 disclosure laws in 2024 to modern-day technologies like AI, Robotics, Automation, and Blockchain and that the existing disclosure laws were meant to reduce the asymmetries between those offering investments and those acquiring investments. 

He stressed that this was during a time when technologies like the internet did not exist. He asserted that the SEC should focus on clear and straightforward principles to guide the industry.

“People like Gary Gensler, Jay Clayton, and Bob Stebbins prefer the law and rules of the road to be vague. WE NEED REFORMERS AS REGULATORS LIKE Brian Brooks and Brad Bondi,” he noted.

Deaton’s remarks highlight the need for a modernized framework that accommodates emerging technologies.

Deaton’s ‘Dream Team’
Amidst the speculations of the current SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation, Deaton has endorsed Brad Bondi as a suitable replacement. Deaton noted that Bondi represents a more balanced and progressive approach to regulatory oversight and voiced skepticism over other contenders, such as Bob Stebbins.

The US Treasury Secretary and the SEC Chairman are the two most important remaining positions to be filled. Deaton emphasized that these two selections must be compatible and complement each other to truly implement the America First Agenda envisioned by President Trump.

Elon Musk had recently suggested that Howard Lutnick might be the right choice for Treasury secretary but had also suggested others to provide input on who President Trump should select to be America’s next Treasury secretary.
Deaton expressed his views by stating:

“The Dream Team that would foster innovation in America, securing its place as the number one market in the world, causing an economic explosion in our capital, crypto, and IPO markets, while bolstering demand for the USD and ensuring its dominance around the world, while, at the same time, shaking things up and reforming the agencies is Brian Brooks as Treasury Secretary and Brad Bondi as SECGov Chairman.”

US Bitcoin Reserve to Kick Off Q1 2025? What It Means for Price & Global Markets | Natalie Brunell

Kitco News:  11-18-2024

The United States could soon establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, with Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis leading the push for this unprecedented move.

According to Bitcoin educator and podcast host Natalie Brunell, Lummis suggests that the U.S. convert a portion of its massive gold reserves into Bitcoin, aiming to make this transition happen "very quickly" once the new administration is in place.

This proposal, which includes acquiring one million Bitcoins over the next 20 years, could mark a turning point for the global financial landscape, potentially boosting Bitcoin's value significantly.

Brunell explores what this proposal means for Bitcoin's future, the broader macro environment, and how corporations and governments are starting to adopt Bitcoin.

Tishwash:  COP29: Iraq rejects fossil fuels phasedown

The Parliamentary Health and Environment Committee announced on Monday the Iraqi delegation's refusal to phase out fossil fuels during its participation in the United Nations Climate Summit COP29, stressing that Iraq seeks to adapt to global environmental standards in line with local privacy.
 
The head of the committee, MP Majid Shankali, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The Iraqi parliament in this session paid great attention to attending climate conferences, as we participated in COP27 and 28, and today in COP29 in Baku."
 
Shankali added that "the participation of the parliamentary delegation in the COP29 conference came to follow up the work of the negotiating delegation and keep abreast of the latest developments in the conference," noting that "the climate conference focused on important issues, most notably the gradual phasedown of fossil fuels, which is one of the main pillars of the Iraqi economy, which we completely reject."

"There is a proposal from Azerbaijan to support developing countries by oil countries, but this proposal was rejected, because most oil-producing countries are themselves developing countries," he said. 

 He pointed out that "the active political presence of the President of the Republic, undersecretaries of ministries and executive bodies, in addition to the legislative support of the Iraqi parliament, strengthens Iraq's position in these conferences, especially since it will assume the presidency of the G7 Plus summit with China in the next session." 

 The President of the Republic, Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid, participated in the United Nations Climate Summit COP29, which was held in the Azerbaijani capital Baku from November 12 to 13, which was attended by a large number of United Nations member states in addition to governmental and non-governmental organizations. link

Mot: .. and meanwhile - Back in 1914!!! 

Mot: .... So, what do we do now, little guy?"  ding dong ditch

One day, a policeman is strolling down the street when he notices a tiny boy standing in front of a house, desperately trying to reach the doorbell. The boy, however, is too small, and the doorbell is just out of his grasp.

The policeman watches for a moment, amused, before walking over. Gently placing a hand on the boy's shoulder, he leans forward and rings the doorbell for him with a quick press.

Squatting down to the boy’s level, the policeman grins and asks, "So, what do we do now, little guy?"

The boy looks up with a mischievous smile and replies, "Now we run!"

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

PHILIPPINES TO DISTRIBUTE TOKENIZED GOVERNMENT BONDS VIA GCASH WALLET, PDAX CRYPTO EXCHANGE

The Philippines government is about to embark on the next phase of its government bond tokenization path. Last year it tokenized bonds targeting institutional investors. That was followed by releasing 90 day Treasury Bills available to retail investors.

Now the Bureau of the Treasury is planning to distribute longer term tokenized Treasury Bonds, or GBonds, in December targeting consumers.

Its primary distribution mechanisms will be via GCash and PDAX. GCash is the wallet app that has been used by 94 million people and was recently valued at $5 billion.

Ant, the owner of Alipay owns around a third of GCash parent Mynt and MUFG owns 8%. PDAX is a cryptocurrency exchange with around four million users that has already been distributing the Treasury Bills, with a minimum investment of 500 pesos ($8.52).

“We envision a future where investing in government bonds is no longer a luxury but a new normal for Filipinos — with just a few swipes away and as easy as ordering their favorite food delivery,” said Ralph Recto, the Philippines Secretary of Finance. “This empowers our people to effortlessly secure their future, all from the comfort of their homes.”

The government news agency said Recto called for GCash and PDAX to speed up the launch.

The country already has retail government bonds, but the minimum investment is ten times higher at 5,000 pesos. PDAX, who we suspect is providing the tokenization technology, says one of the key benefits is reducing the administration costs to support the smaller denominations.

In 2020, the government first explored using blockchain for retail government bonds and launched the Bonds.PH app in collaboration with UnionBank. Back then, the bank also partnered with PDAX for the blockchain aspect.

Other tokenized government bonds
Issuing tokenized government bonds as digital twins, or natively digital bonds, is becoming increasingly popular, although most still target institutions. Slovenia became the first European state to issue a digital bond, and the UK is planning one in the next two years. The largest digital government bod so far was a multicurrency green bond issuance worth $756m by Hong Kong.

IOTA announces network upgrade for more real-world adoption

The IOTA Foundation has announced a sweeping upgrade to its blockchain network, aiming to improve scalability, decentralization, and real-world use cases.

Dubbed “IOTA Rebased,” the proposal will transition IOTA’s Layer 1 network to a Move-based object ledger, introducing programmability and enabling tens of thousands of transactions per second.

If approved by token holders, the upgrade will mark a shift to a delegated proof-of-stake mechanism with 150 permissionless validators to secure the network.

This move will replace IOTA’s (IOTA) existing architecture with a decentralized structure, allowing for faster and more secure transactions. 

The proposal also incorporates the Move programming language, enabling smart contracts directly on the Layer 1 network. 

This feature is designed to expand IOTA’s application in industries such as supply chain tracking, asset tokenization, and digital identity systems, according to the company.

IOTA has created a governance post so the community can discuss and debate the protocol upgrade. The vote will officially go live on December 2.

In August, IOTA introduced a blockchain-based tool to simplify music rights management in the film industry. Developed under the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement initiative, the tool aims to streamline negotiations and secure intellectual property rights.

Move ecosystem merge
Joining the Move ecosystem alongside platforms like Sui and Aptos, IOTA aims to leverage MoveVM’s capabilities while becoming the first Layer 1 network to adopt this architecture.

The IOTA Foundation has launched a Move-based testnet to showcase the upgrade’s potential, accompanied by tools for developers, including a browser wallet extension and updated documentation.

The economic model under the proposed system introduces staking rewards and a dynamic token supply. Validators and delegators will earn newly minted IOTA tokens with an initial annual inflation rate of 6-7%, translating to a projected 10-15% annual return for stakers, according to the company release.

This model aims to incentivize network participation while maintaining fair tokenomics through mechanisms like fee burning.

“This upgrade could significantly accelerate our adoption efforts by introducing programmability and full decentralization to IOTA. We believe this proposal has the best chance of delivering value for the IOTA ecosystem.”  —  Dominik Schiener, Co-Founder and Chair of the IOTA Foundation.

With the Rebased proposal, IOTA seeks to strengthen its position as a leading blockchain infrastructure, focusing on bridging decentralized technology with practical, real-world applications.

Militia Man They're talking about cross boarder transfers.  That's money.  That's currency.  That's going to be doing commercial trade.  That's going to be Article VIII compliance my friends.  That's how it's going to be...Whether it's today or tomorrow that's a good question...Iraq is going international right before our eyes...

PompeyPeter   The most important thing IMO...we're waiting for is the release of the 2024 budget with amendments which contains the new International rate.  That new rate will be applied to the budget upon release.  We have not seen that budget release yet but we hope, pray and believe that it's extremely close...

What About Gold?

What About Gold?

November 18, 2024  Notes From the Field – James Hickman/ Simon Black/ Sovereign Man

It was early January 2020, and weird things were happening in the world.

Socialism was on the march in the Land of the Free. Conflict, it seemed, was exploding everywhere, both abroad (North Korea, Iran, Yemen) and at home.

And most notably, over in China, the Communist government was literally welding people into their homes to ‘keep them safe’ from a bizarre virus that was spreading rapidly

It was only January, but 2020 was already looking pretty uncertain.

I wrote an article about preparing for uncertainty. And, with respect to finance, I wrote that gold was a very sensible asset to own in such times: “Frankly I don’t think anyone can credibly say that they have any idea what’s going to happen in the world in 2020. And that’s why I own gold.”

We soon found out. One of the most ridiculous hysterias in human history gripped the world. Countries were locked down. Governments and central banks conjured trillions of dollars out of thin air to pay people to stay home and not work.

Three months later, in mid-April, I wrote again that the Fed’s virtually unlimited money printing was going to be “very inflationary” and encouraged readers to consider gold once again (along with other real assets).

Quite predictably, the price of gold shot up, from $1560 in early January, to $1720 in April, to nearly $2000 in August.

At that point there was a lot of fickle, speculative capital flowing into the gold market. Gold ETFs were receiving huge inflows, pushing the price to (what was then) an all-time high.

So I wrote to our audience again on August 3rd stating that, “a short-term correction may be in order” for gold. The price peaked three days later, and then fell be several hundred dollars per ounce.

I started writing about gold again in earnest back in early 2023, a few months after the price had bottomed out. The fiscal trajectory of the United States under Joe Biden was painfully obvious at that point. The national debt was growing at an unprecedented peace-time pace, and other nations were lining up against the dollar as the global reserve currency.

Gold was a smart move. And by the end of the year I concluded that “we could easily see central banks around the world ditching their US dollars and loading up on gold as part of a new, de-dollarized global financial system.”

And that’s what started happening: fed up with dollar inflation, US government dysfunction, and America’s gargantuan national debt, foreign central banks began trading their dollars for gold.

THE GOLD PRICE SOARED AS A RESULT

Even in March of this year, when gold was at its all time high of the time at $2,150, I wrote that gold was actually a contrarian investment with a lot more room to rise.

It went all the way up to almost $2,800.

Now, I’m not citing my own work to be boastful. Trust me, I’ve gotten plenty of things wrong.

My point is to illustrate that I AM NOT A GOLD BUG. I don’t hold a fanatical view about gold that it’s the only thing worth owning and is only going to go up.

Furthermore, I don’t think about gold strictly in terms of price; that’s way too one-dimensional.

Gold is a great insurance policy. It’s a hedge against systemic risks. It’s great for estate planning and asset protection. It holds its value over inflation over long periods of time. And, sometimes, it can also be a fantastic speculation.

The above examples demonstrate that I’m not shy about saying whether I think gold has been overbought, is too expensive, or too cheap. My assessment obviously changes when the information changes.

Right now one thing is clear: foreign central banks were the ones responsible for driving the price of gold to all-time highs throughout 2024, just as I suggested would be the case in 2023.

And that was happening at a time when most individual investors (plus ‘smart money’ hedge funds) were actually selling gold. So they were missing out on the boom.

But that started to change over the past few months.

Data from Gold ETFs around the world show that individual investors have been buying tons of gold. Problem is— that money tends to be very short-term... and fickle.

We can already see it; a lot of those same small investors have already yanked their money out of gold after the US election, which is why the price is down about 10% from its record high.

But, again, the real long-term driver of gold demand is central banks. And I think a lot of foreign central banks are sitting on the sidelines right now.

With gold already near its all-time high, they have paused their buying spree, and they’re now looking at this incoming administration to see what happens next.

Can Elon trim the federal budget? Will there be a US energy renaissance or AI-fueled productivity bonanza? Will the government become functional once again? Will America’s unparalleled military superiority be restored? Will sensible monetary policy reign in inflation?

Because if those things actually happen, then the dollar has a pretty good shot of continuing its reign as the dominant global reserve currency.

And I think a lot of central banks that have been buying so much gold are happy to wait for the next several months to see what happens. Hence gold could easily trade sideways for a while, or even fall.

All that said, gold is still worth owning... because there’s still long-term risk to the US and to the dollar.

Vladimir Putin recently made some comments that a lot of folks misinterpreted as “Russia and the BRICS nations will keep using the dollar. . .”

But that’s not what Putin said.

Putin said it was the US government’s weaponization of the dollar that pushed Russia and the BRICs nations away. And as long as that threat remains, the BRICS+ bloc is plowing ahead with developing an alternate financial system.

Many large economies have already started trading with one another in a currency other than the US dollar. And that trend is likely to continue, i.e. the dollar is going to have competition.

Not to mention, there’s still a ton of uncertainty in the world. The national debt is still way too high. The Leftists still want to storm to power and Make America California. Conflict might still break out.

hese are all sensible reasons to own some gold.

But given that the key driver of the gold price, i.e. central banks, are probably going to sit on the sidelines over the next few months, I wouldn’t be buying right now on the expectation of a short-term price surge.
