An Unprecedented Credit Crisis Is About to Undercut America's Quality of Life
Atlantis Report: 10-30-2023
Americans are gradually sinking into a deep financial hole and it keeps getting worse by the day. Hardships facing low-income earners, students, and even the middle class have never been this bad. The numbers give us an insight into how dire the situation is, yet they don’t paint the full picture.
A $1 Trillion credit card debt sounds alarming but not alarming enough except you look beyond the figure to millions of Americans in debt and hundreds of thousands using credit cards to pay for groceries and basic amenities like light and water.
Inflation is taking its toll on everyday essentials, from food to energy, making it difficult for families to make ends meet.
Andy Schectman: Gold vs Silver - What's The Better Option
Arcadia Economics: 10-31-2023
As the US (and foreign) deficits and debt-loads continue to surge to levels that were once unimaginable, the recognition of the value of precious metals as an asset class is increasing at an accelerating rate.
Although when people finally accept the argument that gold and silver are important assets to be considering, especially at this particular time, one of the first questions that often comes up is which metal to invest in.
In this type of environment, should people be buying gold, or should they be putting their money into silver?
It's an important question to consider, and in this week's physical silver report, Andy Schectman talks about the difference between the two choices, and lays out the case for each.
Perhaps like anything, the correct answer is a mix of both. Yet Andy provides the key factors to consider when deciding between the 2 precious metals, while also explaining why the answer may differ depending on what situation each individual person is in.
So to find out more about the latest dynamics affecting the physical gold and silver markets, click to watch this video now!

"While broader FX options have seen their prices rise to reflect the risk of the Middle East conflict escalating, there has been a particular focus on the two-month expiry date, which includes key central bank policy announcements in December."
Forex options traders are eyeing December 14th as the next trade opportunity. This is when their options trades are coming due.
Options trading allows you to buy a currency at a present rate with the option to redeem it later in the event a currency holding rises.

Options trading allows you to buy a currency at a present rate with the option to redeem it later in the event a currency holding rises.
The war in the Middle East is beginning to create price distortions and volatile prices due to fluctuations in economic conditions.
Protection tools are already being talked about in case the currency does devalue. If prices go to a higher value and stays, options traders will be redeeming their currency for a profit.
If new circumstances such as the rebuilding of an economy create the need for a rise in the values of currencies because of this war, a repricing event for currencies will commence.

Countries involved in the Middle Eastern conflict at the present time either directly or indirectly will be affected.
Trade relationships still continue during a war. When a country changes its exchange rate due to a war, it will affect the trade relationships of the imports and exports shared between countries.
Remember, 80% of exchange rates happen on the water through shipping port contracts and the new digital payment systems influencing these rates.

Good evening Dinar Recaps,
Currently, the entire Global Economy is going into a recession, and the shift in our economy will bring forth new values in assets held down for a very long time.
Gold does very well in a recession. It will serve as the bridge between this economy and the next.
As we get closer to the end of Protocol 20 testing, our new tokenized assets backed by the Commodity Market will begin to bring forth new values in the marketplace. Some will call this a market crash in some sectors as others do well. In essence, our new tokenized assets will just simply be going to a real value.

When the dust settles, price correlations will begin to form in the currency markets that include gold and silver as money. This is when currency interventions take place.
Remember, we talked about this a week to a week and a half ago. The dollar is going to shift into more Capital requirements for the dollar in gold.
This could shift price correlations between the dollar and gold between now and November the 1st when these new requirements are implemented.
Many countries around the world are doing the same thing, and the Forex Market that is currently showing distortions in current prices will begin to level the playing field over time.

"The G20 nations collectively accept the regulatory roadmap as proposed by the IMF-FSB paper for crypto oversight.

The above quote basically means that we can start our crypto implementation when the testing period of Protocol 20 is done and voted on. It is a Global Banking announcement that G20, Financial Stability Board, and the IMF will be helping us move forward through their guidance.
We will be inside an evaluation period between now and 2025, but we have been given the green light to move forward with our new economy inside a digital asset-based trading system.
The G20 meets regularly to form policies on global trade, health, climate, and other issues. They are the World's wealthiest group of countries that come together in regulating our Global Economy.
As we wind down the testing period of Protocol 20 this month, look for the banks and markets to coordinate new prices in every sector of the market.

Global Central Banks Are Hoarding Gold Like Never Before As They Seek To Reduce 'Overconcentration' Of Dollar Reserves
Global central banks have been buying record amounts of gold as they seek to diversify reserves away from the dollar. "We expect central banks to continue their role as net purchasers of gold," according to the head of gold strategy at State Street. The trend appears to be part of the broader de-dollarization drive, led by countries including China and Russia.
Global central banks have been snapping up record amounts of gold since the start of 2022 - a trend that should continue as countries look to move away from an "overconcentration" of reserves in the dollar, according to State Street Global Advisors.

Global Central Banks Are Hoarding Gold Like Never Before As They Seek To Reduce 'Overconcentration' Of Dollar Reserves Global central banks have been buying record amounts of gold as they seek to diversify reserves away from the dollar. "We expect central banks to continue their role as net purchasers of gold," according to the head of gold strategy at State Street. The trend appears to be part of the broader de-dollarization drive, led by countries including China and Russia.
Global central banks have been snapping up record amounts of gold since the start of 2022 - a trend that should continue as countries look to move away from an "overconcentration" of reserves in the dollar, according to State Street Global Advisors.
Monetary authorities across nations made net purchases of 387 metric tons of the yellow metal in the first half of 2023, after buying an unprecedented 1,083 tons the whole of last year, the world's fourth-largest asset manager said in a recent note.
In addition to reserve diversification, the trend is also driven by central banks' desire to strengthen balance sheets and increase liquidity without adding credit risk, according to the firm.
"The reasons driving central bank gold purchases — to diversify their reserves, improve their balance sheets, and gain liquidity from an asset without credit risk — likely won't change given today's increasing economic and geopolitical risks," Maxwell Gold, head of gold strategy at State Street, wrote in the note.
"Therefore, as we look ahead, we expect central banks to continue their role as net purchasers of gold," he added.
De-dollarization
The trend appears to be part of a broader international movement - known as de-dollarization - to reduce reliance on the dollar in trade and investment, after the US leveraged the greenback's supremacy to impose economic sanctions on some countries. China and Russia have led the anti-dollar drive, which also saw the BRICS group of nations weigh the prospect of a shared currency.
"In recent years, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) payments system has been used to impose sanctions, both on Iran in 2015 and on Russia in 2022 — a tactic some have described as "weaponization,"" Gold wrote.
"If a government perceives international sanctions as a real threat, then switching from US dollar assets to an anonymous counter like gold becomes extremely attractive, particularly in scenarios of multi-lateral sanctions by several reserve currency nations," he added.

The Fed will try one last time to save the system by inflating the currency supply. But this attempt will simply end in a Dollar collapse, he says.

GOLD & BATTLE FOR CONTROL?
A tug-of-war for the CONTROL over #gold pricing is starting to play out.
The countries of the Eastern world have been amassing physical gold for numerous years, while the majority of Western nations continue to only add to their debt pile.
Last year, Russia's Finance Ministry said it was critical to create the new Moscow World Standard to normalize the functioning of the precious metals industry and have an alternative to the LBMA.
This week, we saw a surge in gold prices in China, leading to a record premium over international prices, exceeding $100 an ounce.

Nearly two years later, on August 25, 2023, the IRS and Treasury Department promulgated proposed regulations that clarify and adjust the rules regarding the tax reporting of information by brokers, so that brokers for digital assets are subject to the same information reporting rules as brokers for securities and other financial instruments."
On October 30, 2023, the comments and rewrites to this legislative piece of the digital economy regarding taxes and reporting is expected to be done for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic Evening News for September 19th
Good evening Dinar Recaps,
Edit this: Mining legend Frank Giustra commented on the US dollar:
"You got to think about these new mechanisms for settlement on trade, and that's where I think it's going to be chipping away at the value of the dollar.”
100%
Countries globally are starting to trade using their local currencies; this is very important to members of BRICS.
As they develop their central bank digital currencies, they are also accumulating gold.
This is what transformation looks like.

Prepare for #Stellar’s Protocol 20 upgrade! It’s the biggest one yet, introducing Soroban smart contracts.
Things to know:
1. Testnet upgrade on Sep 20, 1500 UTC
2. Update Stellar-related software
3. Stay updated in the (#protocol-20) discord channel
4. Go here for more info… Show more

~~~~~~~~~~
According to the official announcement, the testnet will upgrade on September 20 at 15:00 UTC to release newer updates of Stellar Core and Horizon, the infrastructure of the Stellar network.
Stellar validators will open upgrade votes for six weeks once the testnet upgrade reaches ideal output. The testnet release of the Protocol 20 upgrade will track and trace network performance with the implementation of Soroban smart contracts.
Soroban is a smart contract infrastructure built on top of Stellar. It advances the Stellar network’s capabilities by enabling an ecosystem of decentralized applications.
“Because the Protocol 20 upgrade introduces new network settings that validators control, it is also likely that the initial upgrade vote will be followed by a series of additional votes to adjust those settings,” said the blog post.
The Stellar Foundation has increased its development efforts to sustain itself in the highly competitive blockchain space. It recently onboarded British actor Idris Elba to advertise Stellar blockchain network.

The Global Markets are about to get volatile due to inflated assets and an uncontrollable debt ceiling. This is why capital requirements are being adjusted to test the new Basel 3 banking system.
At the same time, we have tokenized assets onboarding onto the new digital trading system being tested.
These new tokenized assets will be tested and interfaced on the Stellar Network for the next 6 weeks.
The banking system has until the end of November to complete their Basel 3 testing and period for comments on improvements.
The transition into our new digital economy in the banking system and the market system supported by commodities is about to begin.
For more on Protocol 20, see the articles below.

"The world’s first fractional bond exchange using the latest in distributed ledger technology now has Citi Securities Services as its first digital custodian participant."
Citibank steps into the digital bond market as a digital custodian. A custodian holds stocks, bonds, or other assets electronically/digitally or in physical form for and on behalf of their customers.
Bond yields give us an indication of how well the stock market is doing. The trade for them, be it domestic or foreign, increases the demand for a nation's currency. And demand creates more value through money velocity.
The most common bond type is the US Treasury Gold Bond. This is issued by the US government, and it is backed by gold held by the US Treasury.
Are you beginning to see why currency resets around the world are about to become inevitable? Basel 3 changes the landscape of everything. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

"The KRX system is an information technology system for managing and operating transactions on the Vietnamese stock market."
The Vietnamese stock market is upgrading their system. They are calling on all of their it professionals to upgrade into the new kRX technological system to be used on their Stock Exchange.
This will enable them to digitally do transactions on the stock market on a global scale. The expectation is for all security companies to be fully integrated by the month of December or answer to their clients for their failures in doing so.
Vietnam is moving along rather nicely. Months ago we read where one of their Banks was fully Basel 3 compliant, and now we find they are about to be capable of utilizing their tokenized assets supported by a gold standard and the movement of their money from one transaction to another.

STORY: "She adds this possibility could lead to short term changes to economic indicators making it hard for the Federal Reserve to accurately gauge the health of the U.S. economy in the months to come."
As we have been discussing in this room, we are in process of making adjustments to Capital requirements inside Basel 3 compliant banking mechanisms.
Tokenization of assets backed by real-world Commodities will give them real values.
Therefore, the expectation of volatility on the markets for the rest of this year is certainly going to be a part of what we are going to see any moment.
As the markets and banking system work to find their Goldilocks economy, you will more than likely hear about changes being made to the system to create new synchronistic values that are neither too hot or too cold, but "they are just right." 😉
"The term (Goldilocks) describes an ideal state for an economic system. In this perfect state, there is full employment, economic stability, and stable growth."

When I talked with the Head of Silver Eagle Sales for the US Mint back in May he said they had been "allocated" 4 Million more silver blanks for the 2023 US Silver Eagle Program.
With the ramp-up of silver eagle sales over the past 4 months the premiums have fallen substantially.
According to the numbers, unless the allocation of silver blanks was increased further, the US Mint should STOP selling eagles in October instead of December!
What would that do to Silver Eagle Premiums?
ALERT! US Mint to STOP SELLING 2023 Silver Eagles in October?! PREMIUMS TO SOAR AGAIN?! (Bix Weir
