This Long Island man lost his life savings after suspected debit card scam — and got no reimbursement. Here’s why
While running errands in New York last year, Grant Holihan of Long Island received a call from Chase Bank asking him to confirm a recent purchase in Las Vegas. But Holihan, 27, claimed to have never been to Las Vegas. He suspected his debit account and PIN were skimmed at an ATM near his construction job site.
BEWARE: Lost Life Savings After Suspected Debit Card Scam

This Long Island man lost his life savings after suspected debit card scam — and got no reimbursement. Here’s why
While running errands in New York last year, Grant Holihan of Long Island received a call from Chase Bank asking him to confirm a recent purchase in Las Vegas. But Holihan, 27, claimed to have never been to Las Vegas. He suspected his debit account and PIN were skimmed at an ATM near his construction job site.
According to Holihan, Chase agreed to close the account — but then more charges followed. In just under an hour, more than $7,000 was drained from his bank account in separate transactions on the other side of the country. Ultimately, his entire life savings was stolen in less than a day.
Now, Holihan says Chase is still refusing to refund his money.
“I’ve never given my PIN out," Holihan told CBS New York. “They still deny my claim, and it's been over a year later, and I still haven't seen my money."
With no resolution in sight, it’s important to understand how this was able to happen and what can be done to avoid a similar financial loss.
How Does Debit Skimming Work?
In debit card skimming, fraudsters secretly install devices on ATMs or payment terminals to steal card details and PIN information. The skimmers capture data while a hidden camera or keypad overlay records the user’s PIN. In most cases, these devices are difficult for people to see because they look like legitimate card readers.
Holihan suspects that is exactly what happened to him.
"This customer's claim was denied because the charges were authorized with their PIN and verified via phone call," JPMorganChase told CBS News New York.
Unlike credit card skimming, where thieves steal credit card numbers, debit card fraud doesn't fall under the Truth in Lending Act, which offers more consumer protections. While speaking with CBS reporter Elle McLogan, National Consumer Law Center senior attorney Carla Sanchez-Adams shared how that impacts consumers.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
BRICS COUNTRIES GAIN INFLUENCE OVER G20
The G20 summit is ongoing in Brazil’s Rio and all the five BRICS countries are a part of the bloc. The world leaders are discussing trade deals and renewing policies at the summit. US President Joe Biden attended the summit but missed out on the photo op on Tuesday.
However, the world leaders retook the photo op placing Biden at the center and standing next to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his left and Canada’s Justin Trudeau to his right.
BRICS Influence in G20 Grows
The BRICS countries are having a bigger role in the G20 summit dominating the news cycle and photo ops. The show of unity was on full display making the leaders of Western countries seem like background noise. The show of unity was met with a starkly farcical smile by Biden as leaders clapped and held hands.
“The BRICS countries as a whole are gaining in their role and influence in the G20. This was evident both in Delhi at last year’s summit and in the year before in Indonesia. And here (Rio de Janeiro) it was especially clear,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a press conference.
During the previous G20 summits, BRICS countries rarely hit the news cycles but the 2024 event has turned things around. The bloc is displaying strength through unions and other trade deals indicating their economy can sustain without the West. The alliance recently sent invitations to 13 new nations to join as ‘Partner countries’
Indonesia accepted the invitation to join BRICS as a ‘Partner countries’ while the G20 summit was ongoing. Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, Jose Antonio Morato Tavares said that Indonesia “will actively contribute to and participate in any initiatives of BRICS. This is a positive development. Now, we are already a BRICS partner state,” he said.

MALAYSIA EXPLORING WHOLESALE CBDC
Two years ago Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) outlined its plans for central bank digital currency (CBDC). At the time it intended to explore wholesale CBDC (wCBDC) in the short term and a general purpose retail CBDC this year.
However, during a digital payments event yesterday it disclosed that the emphasis is solely on wholesale CBDC. It believes retail payments are already well served by existing systems.
Currently it is building expertise, performing preparatory work and getting to grips with the technology.
“If we were to issue wholesale CBDC in the future, we would know what it takes and what policy implications we need to bear in mind,” the central bank said, as reported by the Sun Malaysia.
The central bank envisages a wholesale CBDc as supporting interbank settlement for tokenized deposits both domestically and for cross border payments. International payments have been of interest for some time.
BNM was a participant in Singapore’s multi-CBDC Project Dunbar, and is an observer of mBridge, the cross border CBDC project that is currently at the minimum viable product stage. Active mBridge participants include the central banks of China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE.
Despite its preparations, the central bank has no immediate plans to issue one. It will continue working on wCBDC and DLT during 2024-25. Several Asian economies are currently exploring a wholesale CBDC to support tokenized deposits. They include the central banks of Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
Ledger Insights recently released a report exploring tokenized deposits and bank stablecoins, highlighting more than 70 initiatives.

The Earth Alliance, Star Link, and military are ready to execute the final phase. The old world is crumbling, and a new era of freedom is beginning. For years, the Earth Alliance has been preparing, quietly building a secure network of satellites that will make this possible.
The EBS alert will be activated globally but in phases. Depending on your location, you might get it slightly earlier or later, but make no mistake—it’s coming. The phased rollout will prevent the Deepstate from reacting and catch them off-guard. By the time the signal hits every device, the Earth Alliance will have moved to the next stage.
The EBS broadcast could (but not necessarily) last up to 10 days, depending on ground conditions. During this time, there will be no internet, no social media, no TV, no mainstream news. Stock up on food, water, and supplies—you won’t be able to access stores or services during this period.
The Deepstate’s financial institutions will collapse. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) will replace the corrupt system, marking the greatest wealth transfer in history. Banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated, replaced by a fair system that serves the people.

A NEW FRONTIER: COURT AUTHORIZES SERVICE OF PROCESS THROUGH NFT AIRDROP
In a landmark decision highlighting the unique aspects of blockchain technology, an S.D.N.Y. Bankruptcy Judge ruled in favor of Celsius’s motion for alternative service, whereby Celsius sought to provide legal service by airdopping non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to anonymous defendants’ digital asset wallets.
Judge Approves Celsius’s NFT Airdrop for Legal Service
In the wake of the cryptocurrency exchange’s insolvency, its bankruptcy estate filed suit seeking to void allegedly fraudulent transfers and recover additional funds for its creditors.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
A NEW FRONTIER: COURT AUTHORIZES SERVICE OF PROCESS THROUGH NFT AIRDROP
In a landmark decision highlighting the unique aspects of blockchain technology, an S.D.N.Y. Bankruptcy Judge ruled in favor of Celsius’s motion for alternative service, whereby Celsius sought to provide legal service by airdopping non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to anonymous defendants’ digital asset wallets.
Judge Approves Celsius’s NFT Airdrop for Legal Service
In the wake of the cryptocurrency exchange’s insolvency, its bankruptcy estate filed suit seeking to void allegedly fraudulent transfers and recover additional funds for its creditors.
Due to the pseudonymous nature of the technology, however, Celsius has thus far been unable to identify the owners of the wallets connected to the relevant transfers.
As a result, the Litigation Administrator designed a novel solution for an alternative method of service. Celsius proposed to airdrop NFTs that include a hyperlink to a website containing the complaint and other relevant legal documents to the wallet addresses in question.
To ensure the NFTs are properly served, Celsius will have FTI Consulting confirm the wallets receive the NFTs on-chain, and record the exact date and time the NFTs are opened. FTI will also monitor website traffic to ensure the links are opened by actual humans rather than automated bots.
Furthermore, FTI Consulting confirmed that it traced the transfers to the wallets in question, that the wallets have been active since the transfers, and that the same individuals likely remain in control of the wallets.
Alternative methods of service are generally permitted if the statutory methods of service are “impracticable.” According to New York case law, service is typically impracticable when the plaintiff is unable to locate either a business or home address for the defendant despite diligent efforts to do so.
Alternative methods must also satisfy constitutional due process requirements, which requires service to be reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to give notice to interested parties of the nature of the action against them.
Recognizing that the anonymity of the wallet owners deemed traditional service impracticable, the Court was satisfied the defendants were likely to receive the summons and complaint via the hyperlink in the NFT since the NFT was being sent to the exact wallets used by the defendants to receive the funds at issue, and the activity could be traced on-chain.
Judge Glenn concluded the NFT airdrop was “the best possible way” to apprise the defendants of the actions against them, and praised Celsius on its “innovative” solution. In terms of service, email addresses pioneered the way for the internet. Wallet addresses just paved the way for blockchain.
This case highlights one of the many challenges of adopting new technology into society, and exemplifies how blockchain technology continues to disrupt the status quo. Luckily, the industry has taken the initiative to craft novel solutions that allow for its implementation into everyday life.

SHANGHAI JUDGE SAYS CRYPTOCURRENCY IS A COMMODITY, LEGAL TO OWN
Shanghai Judge Sun Jie calls virtual currency a commodity with property attributes in a commentary on a 2017 business dispute.
A judge in the People’s Court of Songjiang District in Shanghai, China has released an article on the court’s WeChat account about the legality of issuing virtual currency in China. She was commenting on a business dispute dating to 2017, but her opinion sheds light on cryptocurrency’s murky legal status in China.
A virtual commodity with property attributes
An agricultural development company signed a “Blockchain Incubation Agreement” with an investment management company to produce a white paper as the basis for the issuance of a cryptocurrency, paying 300,000 yuan (about $44,400 at the time) for the service.
A year later, no token had been produced, and the investment company said the agricultural company should develop an app before the token could be issued. Instead, the agricultural company sued to recover the money it had paid.
The court ruled that the agreement between the companies envisioned illegal activities, for which both sides were at fault. It ordered the investment company to return 250,000 yuan.
Judge Sun Jie wrote that virtual currency does not have the status of fiat currency, but is rather a virtual commodity with “property attributes.” She stated:
“Although it is not illegal for individuals to simply hold virtual currency, commercial entities cannot participate in virtual currency investment transactions or even issue tokens on their own.”
How banned is crypto in China?
The judge went on to give a lengthy warning about the potential ills of cryptocurrency. For example:
“Virtual currency trading speculation activities such as Bitcoin will not only disrupt the economic and financial order, but also may become a payment and settlement tool for illegal and criminal activities, breeding money laundering, illegal fund-raising, fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities.”
By “blindly participating in virtual currency transactions,” individuals and enterprises may not have the full protection of the law, the judge concluded. The article reproduces Article 153 of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China, as it is the relevant legislation to the case.
China ordered virtual currency exchanges to close down in 2017. In 2021, the People’s Bank of China and 10 Chinese government agencies joined forces to tighten control over transactions with virtual currencies. Nonetheless, ownership of crypto was never prohibited.

What’s up with Buffett and his $325 Billion Pile of Cash?
What’s up with Buffett and his $325 Billion Pile of Cash?
November 20, 2024 Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)
Much has been written about Warren Buffett having sold a substantial amount of stocks. And his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on a record $325 billion cash pile as a result.
Buffett has often said that his preferred holding period for an investment is "forever". So the fact that he has sold so much stock has many observers proclaiming that "Buffett is predicting an imminent stock market crash."
***********************
Except that he's not. Buffett is a pretty transparent guy who has never been afraid to speak his mind. If he were predicting a crash, he'd probably say it.
What’s up with Buffett and his $325 Billion Pile of Cash?
November 20, 2024 Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)
Much has been written about Warren Buffett having sold a substantial amount of stocks. And his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is sitting on a record $325 billion cash pile as a result.
Buffett has often said that his preferred holding period for an investment is "forever". So the fact that he has sold so much stock has many observers proclaiming that "Buffett is predicting an imminent stock market crash."
Except that he's not. Buffett is a pretty transparent guy who has never been afraid to speak his mind. If he were predicting a crash, he'd probably say it.
Besides, Buffett has sold plenty of stocks in the past; this is not an anomaly. In 2022 and 2023, for example, he dumped shares of Chevron, Activision Blizzard, Taiwan Semiconductor, and HP.
This time around he sold off some shares in Apple and Bank of America. But he actually explained WHY-- especially with Apple. And I think his reasoning is worth mentioning.
Buffett explained to a reporter that "We don’t mind paying taxes at Berkshire. And we are paying a 21% federal rate,” which amounted to $5 billion last year.
But he continued, saying that the US federal corporate tax rate "was 35% not long ago, and it’s been 52% in the past. . . With the present fiscal policies, I think that something has to give, and I think that higher taxes are quite likely," i.e. that the government will take "a greater share of your income, or mine, or Berkshire's."
"So if I’m [selling Apple stock] at 21% [tax rates] this year, and we’re doing it at a lot higher percentage later on, I don’t think [shareholders] will actually mind that we sold a little Apple this year.”
This is a critical takeaway.
Nations with enormous debts and deficits can’t live beyond their means forever; Buffett isn't predicting a market crash-- he's predicting higher taxes... that, sooner or later, the federal government is going to have a take a much bigger bite out of people's paychecks.
As I've written before, there's a chance that Buffett's prediction might be wrong. It IS still possible for the US to get back on the right track-- a combination of government efficiency, spending cuts, de-regulation, and a technology (AI) fueled productivity boom could generate such an economic boom that the country COULD grow its way out of debt without having to resort to higher taxes (or inflation).
But the new administration will have to get moving immediately. Otherwise, Buffett will be proven right: higher taxes will be inevitable.
His decision to sell Bank of America stock is even more obvious and also bears mentioning. Quite simply, Bank of America is in deep trouble.
You probably recall how the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates all the way down to zero during the pandemic. It was ridiculous-- the US government was able to sell Ten Year notes with a yield of less than 0.4%.
Talk about a ******* deal. The largest debtor in the history of the world was selling bonds with such a pitiful yield that they didn't even keep up with inflation. Who would be such an idiot to buy such a terrible asset?
Bank of America, that's who. In fact, Bank of America invested hundreds of billions of dollars of their depositors' savings in these terrible assets.
Well, now that interest rates are literally more than 10x higher (from 0.4% to more than 4%), those same bonds that Bank of America bought back in 2020 and 2021 have lost a TON of money. BofA is sitting on more than $100 BILLION in unrealized losses from their bond portfolio.
Remember, this is the same reason that Silicon Valley Bank (among others) went bust last year-- the bonds they bought during the pandemic lost a ton of value, and the bank was wiped out. Bank of America is in a similar position now.
The key difference is that Bank of America has enough capital on its balance sheet to sustain those losses. So they might not be wiped out or fail. But the implications for shareholders are pretty bad.
Whenever a bank gets into trouble, the first thing that happens is the regulators step in and start making a bunch of demands. In this case, the FDIC and Fed will probably force Bank of America to raise more capital.
This will have the effect of severely diluting existing Bank of America shareholders... which most investors, especially Buffett, absolutely HATE.
The second thing that regulators always do with troubled banks is force them to suspend their dividend. And dividends are among the top reasons why Buffett likes to hold companies "forever". So given the likely prospect of zero dividends and heavily diluted shares, it looks like Buffett is getting out before regulators drop the hammer on Bank of America.
This is a big difference from "Buffett predicting a crash" as so many headlines across the Internet have been suggesting.
That said, the US stock market in general is definitely looking very expensive and near historically high valuations once again.
But there's at least one sector that's still cheap: real assets.
I've been writing for most of the past two years that real assets make a lot of sense to own, especially during inflationary times. Real assets were THE asset class to own during the 1970s stagflation.
The US is currently on the same path-- with its national debt constantly surging to new record highs (now $36 trillion), suggesting that another bout of nasty inflation could be in order down the road.
But, again, there's now a reasonable chance that the new administration is able to get the nation's finances on the right track... potentially forestalling an inflation spike and debt crisis.
So do real assets still make sense?
For now, yes. Natural gas is a great example-- as I've explained before, US natural gas is still incredibly cheap. And any American energy renaissance will depend heavily on natural gas. Prices could surge as a result, and natural gas producers could boom. Yet many companies' shares are still available for peanuts.
Bottom line, it still makes sense to consider fantastic real asset producers-- especially when they are profitable, low-debt, dividend-paying businesses that trade at absurdly low valuations.

Controlled Demolition of Economy Underway, Short Oil and Go Long Gold
Controlled Demolition of Economy Underway, Short Oil and Go Long Gold
VRIC Media: 11-19-2024
In a compelling discussion that took place on VRIC Media hosted by Jesse Day, economist and market analyst Francis Hunt shared his bold views on the current economic strategies employed by the Federal Reserve and central banks across the West. According to Hunt, we are witnessing what he describes as a “controlled demolition” of the economy, a scenario rife with implications for individual investors and the broader societal landscape.
Hunt’s perspective is rooted in the belief that the actions of the Federal Reserve and other central banking institutions are strategically designed to serve the interests of the Davos Elite—a term commonly used to reference the powerful figures who gather annually at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Controlled Demolition of Economy Underway, Short Oil and Go Long Gold
VRIC Media: 11-19-2024
In a compelling discussion that took place on VRIC Media hosted by Jesse Day, economist and market analyst Francis Hunt shared his bold views on the current economic strategies employed by the Federal Reserve and central banks across the West. According to Hunt, we are witnessing what he describes as a “controlled demolition” of the economy, a scenario rife with implications for individual investors and the broader societal landscape.
Hunt’s perspective is rooted in the belief that the actions of the Federal Reserve and other central banking institutions are strategically designed to serve the interests of the Davos Elite—a term commonly used to reference the powerful figures who gather annually at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
This supposed agenda, he argues, is focused on tightening government control over an increasingly indebted populace. As public debt soars and spending appears controlled, Hunt warns that these strategies will lead to more significant societal changes that favor the elites at the expense of the everyday citizen.
In light of this ominous outlook, Hunt recommends specific investment strategies that align with his vision. He stresses the importance of shorting oil while simultaneously going long on gold. The reasoning behind this dual strategy is tied to anticipated shifts in energy prices and the protective characteristics of gold, which Hunt regards as a refuge during periods of economic instability.
“Gold has historically been a safe-haven asset during turmoil. When currency valuation comes under threat—especially with rising inflation and interest rate hikes—gold stands resilient against economic forces,” Hunt noted. On the other hand, good investors must be wary of oil, especially given the geopolitical shifts impacting its pricing.
In this episode, Hunt also provided insights into the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly focusing on Bitcoin. He appears skeptical of Bitcoin’s trajectory, suggesting that it has been co-opted by major financial players like BlackRock. Hunt posits that what was once heralded as a decentralized monetary system is now being manipulated by institutional giants, diminishing its initial promise as an alternative to traditional finance.
If gold is a conservative bet in uncertain times, Hunt points to silver as an asset with significant potential. “Silver has applications not only in investment but also in industry—particularly in renewable energy technologies,” he explained. This dual demand could propel its value upward as green technologies gain traction and global initiatives push towards sustainability. Hunt believes investors should closely monitor silver as an underrated asset with much room for growth.
The conversation also touched upon current political sentiments, particularly regards to a potential Trump presidency. Hunt’s analysis underscores the polarizing effect of political narratives on the economy.
Francis Hunt’s discussion with Jesse Day paints a picture of an economic environment that is fraught with complexity and uncertainty. While the strategies and correlations he presents may seem contradictory at first glance, they form a cohesive narrative about an economy under strain. Investors navigating this landscape might find themselves grappling with both traditional and emerging assets.
In times marked by rapid change and potential destabilization, both Hunt’s cautionary stance and the investment strategies he advocates—shorting oil, going long on gold, and keeping a close eye on silver—offer a roadmap for navigating the complexities of our economic future. Whether or not you align with Hunt’s views, their consideration prompts essential dialogue on the intersection of finance, politics, and the overarching forces shaping our world today.

And all of the tests of play Saturday and Sunday, and they all the word was, they all went off without a hitch. So the system is ready. They test those four currencies, and they're all ready to go
Now in the meantime, certain people, certain bankers, certain hedge fund managers but certain politicians were possibly trying to get a jump on the exchanges and get started doing these prior to the kickoff date for our exchanges to start.
And I don't know how many were involved in that? We don't have numbers like that, and we weren't told there were numbers, but they said they were picked up and arrested for that. So that system is working beautifully around the globe.
The other thing is, we did hear a few days ago - guess it was over the weekend. I heard Saturday and Sunday that it was very likely that we would get started this week, and that was really good news.
Before I give you the good news about that, I want to tell you something that we've been talking about, and that is the restitution and reclamation allowance. Is what I call it, R and R. – and I want to talk to you about Social Security increases -
Alright, R and R - They've made this a little simpler. They've got it divided up into three age groups.
The lowest is starting at the age of 30 to 40. Let's call it 30 to 45 then they have a group from 45 to 60, and then the third group is 60 and older, so called retirement age people, some of them want to security as early as 62 now going to work. We're going to start the group 60 and older.
This group, if you're getting Social Security at age 62 - 65 - 70 whatever, if you're getting Social Security now, your R and R will pay you a lump sum to the bank account where you are receiving Social Security, unless you are exchanging currencies and redeeming Zim, in which case it will be at your appointment in your quantum account.
And you'll find that out as you're activating quantum account, remember what that requires by fingerprint or thumbprint. Password, free account, a new user name for the account, password, a five digit PIN code, number, new email.
Those are the things that three that are required to set up your now the money's going to, let's say it's already in the account for you. Now, when you set it up, you'll see that balance, and you say, Oh, that is my R&R, so write that down as a separate number. Write it down so you'll know how much you actually received in R and R
Write it down so you'll know how much you actually received in R and R, and remember, that's going to include interest paid on loans, bank loans, mortgages, interest paid on credit cards, car loans, etc. All of that is there, plus income taxes paid forever, really, and anything else that I can think of that's all included.
The other thing is the trading of your birth certificate, which they traded on all of our certificates, as though they were bonds, a marriage license if you've been married, a divorce agreement or decree if you've been divorced, a death certificate, if you had a spouse die, all of these things are included in your R and R balance, and you'll have that in your quantum account, and you just need to move some of those monies into your into your wells, Fargo or other bank accounts.
Now that's for the retirement age group. Let's just call them 60 and older - The next let's start with the first group, which was the younger folks that are aged 30 to 45 if you're in that age group, you'll get your R and R paid out over three years, paid to you every month. Whatever that total would be is divided up into 36 monthly payments, and you would receive that every month for three years.
Let's go to the next group, age 45 to 60 that group receive your R and R paid out over two years period every month for 2 years or 24 payments – that’s going to come to you since you're not eligible for Social
If they don't know what your bank account is, or you don't have a bank account, and you're in those groups, group A and group B, let's call it, then you will obviously they would have to get in touch with you, And you have to let them know your account information. They had a lot of that already on us. They already know that for the most part.
All right, here's one more thing about the two younger groups, the group that's age 30 to 45 needs to sign a document saying they're working they keep their job or.
All right, here's one more thing about the two younger groups, the group that's age 30 to 45 needs to sign a document saying they're if they are working, they keep their job for another 15 years.
If they don't have a job, they need to say that they will get a job – it has to be like a 30 week part time or greater part time job.
Now if you're in the second group, which is age 45 to 60, that group, you have to say that you'll sign the agreement that says that you'll work for another 10 years. Okay.
Now remember, this is just the rough idea of what the program is going to be, you'll have to see exactly how it plays out for you based on your age. You know, 58, 59 years old you might just be looking to work another two years, not 10 years. You see what I'm saying, until you hit what we would call retirement age, which, you know, 62 is awfully young to retire.
I don't think there's anything in the Bible about Bible about retiring. I'm not retired, not retired, and Bob's not retired. Sue is not retired. None of us are going to quote, unquote, retire. We might do something different, because we're going to be working our projects and creating leadership teams and all of that to take our projects and run with it, but that's what I wanted to tell you about R & R
When will it start for us? It'll start when we go into redemption center that those of us that are exchanging currency, or those of us who are redeeming our zim, okay? So that's when ours will start. If you're not a currency holder, and you're not doing that I’ve been told it will probably start first week of December.
They want us to have … People that don't have currencies - they want them to have money. So this can be a wonderful Christmas for everybody, and it will be. And remember President Trump talked about Christmas for Thanksgiving. Gonna have a Christmas before Thanksgiving, which is 9 days away not far - a week from this Thursday today is Tuesday
So let's talk a little bit about the Social Security increase. Social Security increases are going to take place. I've been told that could take place by the end of November - I'm going to say no. I think they will all start in December, but if you get your increase, it'll be substantial, not a cost of living allowance, not eight bucks or six bucks. These are real increases.
And I think since tomorrow is the third Wednesday of November, and I just don't know that they're going to have anything additional other than the normal amount they've been getting, I don't think there's I think they intentionally do it in November, but realistically, it should be December that we get the Social Security increase. For those of us in currencies, it's not going to make a whole heck of a lot of difference. It really won't.
Yeah, we'll see it. We'll see it on accounts, but, oh, there's the increase. Okay, so what? And then you'll be involved in other things, all right, so that takes care of R, and R Social Security increases.
Now let's go into what it is we're all here for. And that is the start of the GCR, the RV, the valuation of these currencies. And when we get to start, when are we going to receive our notifications? Bond holders are being told they're going to receive their notifications over night tonight and tomorrow
We shall have their information about how much they have. You know they'll have. They'll have the basic information that go into their accounts and see the funds that are there, and they'll know in that email when they do have access to those funds in their account.
We are fortunately expecting our email notifications from Wells Fargo to come in tomorrow, by or before noon tomorrow. So the plan is, when we receive the 800 number, we call one of the call centers that that we get. You won't know where it is, but you'll be calling under appointment using the toll free number and the zip code for the area that you want to exchange.
So in other words, where you live, zip code, where you work, or zip code where you know you're going to be if you're not home, or not at work or on the road or whatever,
You're going to be exchanging as little as two hours to five hours after you set your appointment, you're available for your first appointments to be exchanged. So in other words, if we get the number between, say, 1030 and noon tomorrow, we should be able to exchange tomorrow, Wednesday afternoon, two o'clock, three o'clock, five o'clock, whatever, whatever it becomes. And that's the best news I have to give you.
So that's what we've been waiting for. I've been waiting 20 years, 13 years on the big call. This is the information we've been looking to receive. Very excited about it. I don't know if my voice is but I'm excited. I'm ready to go, and I'm also ready to get into the med bed as soon as I possibly can and I've been told it could be fairly soon, fairly soon. So I'm looking forward to that
Now currencies have been trading. Currencies are on the Forex. They've been traded. We've got great rates that we're expecting on Dong, even the Bolivar - Over four dollars. And of course, the dinar is going to be great, and they should offer us the contract rate on the dinar, which is very strong, very, very strong.
So I'm super excited about that as well. Dong is has been traded up – hopefully will continue to trade up a little bit more tomorrow and the rest of the week and that’s a good thing for us
There's nothing else I can think of that's crucial right now that you haven't heard me talk about on the big call. Many of you guys have not ever missed a call in 13 years wonderful. I want to thank everybody, though. Of course, bob and sue for having done a beautiful job as co-host on the big call.
So that's what I wanted to bring tonight we’re all looking forward to tomorrow - in the time frame of mid morning to about noon tomorrow is what I.ve been told - from someone who's over redemption centers and heard and got this directly today from the new Treasury in Reno, or a contact in Reno as part of the new US Treasury.
Alright guys, so enjoy it. We'll be in touch with you by email.. If I have any podcasts I do, or that Bob and I do, or even three of us do, we'll put it out as recorded link
You can tell I'm ready to go, and we're all ready to go. This should be our last live call.
This should do it, and we'll take it from here. Let's pray the call out,
Well, good night everybody. Again, watch your emails

BIS RESEARCH FINDS PROS DOMINATE CRYPTO DEX DEFI EXCHANGES
In traditional finance (TradFi), market makers and high frequency traders act as intermediaries on exchanges. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) was meant to provide an alternative, with retail investors providing liquidity in a crowdsourcing manner.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was curious about the extent of disintermediation, so it crunched the data on decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions. It found that sophisticated players dominate and are equivalent to professional intermediaries in TradFi.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BIS RESEARCH FINDS PROS DOMINATE CRYPTO DEX DEFI EXCHANGES
In traditional finance (TradFi), market makers and high frequency traders act as intermediaries on exchanges. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) was meant to provide an alternative, with retail investors providing liquidity in a crowdsourcing manner.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was curious about the extent of disintermediation, so it crunched the data on decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions. It found that sophisticated players dominate and are equivalent to professional intermediaries in TradFi..
That said, a sophisticated player in the crypto world could still be a spotty teenager working in their parent’s basement, albeit a wealthy one. So from that perspective, DeFi is democratized.
Despite retail investors making up 93% of DEX liquidity providers (LPs), a few larger actors provide 65-85% of the liquidity on DEXs. They also dominate profits, making an average net return of 3 basis points more daily. That’s equivalent to 11.65% more annually compared to retail LPs. While the average position of a retail investor is $29,000, for the professionals, the figure is $3.7 million.
The BIS found that retail investors earn about 10-25% of fees and are generally less skilled.
More sophisticated AMMs favor the pros
The study focused on Uniswap V3. In the early days of DeFi, the algorithmic model used by most automated market makers (AMMs) was a crude straight line formula. That meant that a crypto holder could provide liquidity in a relatively passive manner.
That changed with Uniswap V3, which encourages liquidity providers to target narrow price ranges close to the market price, helping to provide deeper liquidity around the price action.
Given prices are dynamic, that requires more monitoring. If an LP provides a broad price range, something retail LPs are more prone to do, their position will be inactive some of the time, earning less fees. The research showed that sophisticated LPs provided significantly narrower tick range spreads, less than half of retail LPs’ range.
The introduction of V3 has accelerated the shift to sophisticated players. At launch, sophisticated LPs accounted for 40-50% of transactions, rising to 70-80% by the end of 2023.
Sophisticated LPs show distinct patterns. They target high volume pools where daily trading volume exceeds $10m, and they completely dominate those pools.
Retail LPs provide liquidity to pools where volumes are less than $100,000 a day. Sophisticated LPs also target less volatile trading pairs, which are lower risk.
However, when the markets are in a temporary volatile period, the pros really stand out. During those times, rather than earning 3 basis points more than retail daily, the figure is 2.5 times higher at 7.6 basis points.

RUSSIA CRACKS DOWN ON CRYPTO MINING AMID WINTER ENERGY CRISIS
▪️Russia plans to ban crypto mining in specific regions to address energy shortages during winter.
▪️The ban will affect Siberia and certain Ukrainian territories under Russian control, with varying degrees of restriction.
▪️The move comes alongside new crypto regulations aimed at overseeing mining activities.
As winter approaches, Russia, one of the world’s top cryptocurrency mining hubs, is gearing up to impose targeted bans on mining to address looming energy shortages. Alongside the U.S., China, Kazakhstan, and Canada, Russia has become a key player in the global mining scene.
However, with winter temperatures plunging and energy demands rising, the country is forced to make tough choices.
The Moscow Times reports that these restrictions will mainly affect Siberia and Ukrainian territories currently under Russian control.
Crypto Mining Restrictions During Winter Months
A government commission, led by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, has outlined the plan to ensure stable energy supplies during the heating season. Starting December 1, 2024, mining in Siberia will be suspended until March 15, 2025, with similar bans scheduled annually through 2031.
In addition, the North Caucasus and occupied Ukrainian regions will face a total mining ban from December 2024 to March 2031, with no seasonal exemptions, as reported by Kommersant.
New Regulations in Effect
These mining bans are part of a broader set of crypto regulations signed into law by President Vladimir Putin on November 1, 2024. The new rules aim to regulate mining activities and establish infrastructure for experimental cross-border cryptocurrency transactions.
While domestic crypto payments remain illegal, Russian lawmakers view these measures as a possible way to bypass international sanctions by using digital currencies.
The Energy Cost of Crypto Mining
As the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency mining country after the U.S., Russia uses about 16 billion kilowatt-hours annually for mining—roughly 1.5% of its total electricity consumption, according to the Energy Ministry. In addition to the mining bans, the new laws introduce taxes on mining activities, which could generate up to 200 billion roubles ($2 billion) annually for the Russian economy.
Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Soars
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has recently hit a record 102.29 trillion, reflecting the increasing computational power needed to secure the network.
This key metric adjusts every two weeks to maintain steady block production despite fluctuations in miner activity. Since mid-2024, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has increased by nearly 20%, driven by intense global competition.
At the same time, Bitcoin’s hash rate peaked at over 900 EH/s before stabilizing around 730 EH/s.
Russia’s decision to implement these mining bans highlights the country’s challenge of supporting the expanding crypto sector while ensuring enough energy is available during peak demand periods.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The census is for real. Sudani says this is a really really serious census, I want you to participate and he needed us to work with him. Sounds like it has to be tied in with legal things that need to be done and finished up before the official exchange rate rolls out. Just what we think here on the streets. FRANK: After the census I believe things will start to be revealed to you...
Mnt Goat ...the IMF fully intends to repeg the IQD to a basket of currencies once they revalue it and turn it back on FOREX (...this is called a reinstatement...). It will initially be a FREE FLOAT driven by market fluctuations however it will be monitored and my CBI contact has told me they will cap it at a level to control the initial massive swings, if needed. Then over a period, the rate is expected to settle down to its nominal rate. I am told this could be about $3.85ish. The then CBI director in 2011 Dr. Shabibi told his audience in a news media conference on the Iraqi economy that the dinar could sustain a fluctuation as high as $16 USD...I am told that the IMF will use the cap at about $9 - $11 to prevent wild swings out of control that could potentially hurt the basket.

Member: Hopefully, this is our big day!
Member: Goldilocks says no new rate in Iraq until 2025
MZ: He may be right…..but that’s not what my sources say. They believe it will happen this year in Iraq…and I am also hearing before December 10th in Iraq….but just stay grounded.
Member: When Iraq stops the foreign currency auctions….they have to RV. (revalue)
Member: Iraq Census today and tomorrow…along with everything closed and a curfew….would be a great time to flip that switch.
Member: Mark, several sites are "out of Dinar" for resale. May be a good sign
MZ: “ President Barzani ‘s advisor at Chatham House –We need a strategic agreement with Baghdad” This is some of the HCL things they are busy settling.
MZ: “Parliamentary Finance: There is no justification for delaying the 2025 budget schedules” There is a lot of discussion that we could see them this week along with 3 difficult laws passed.
MZ: “Next week : A parliamentarian reveals a political concensus to approve 3 controversial laws” They way they will push them through and pass them. There are rumors that the Hydro Carbon law (HCL) is among those.
MZ: When they pass HCL- we know we are close to being finished. They have already started oil shipments again so I believe it could be done.
MZ: “The Minister of Planning of Kurdistan announces the end of the first and second phases of the census with success” The census is going smoothly so far. They will pretty much have it done and wrapped up by tomorrow night.
MZ: Nothing new from bond folks this morning but, lots of chatter and expectations of real bond money this week starting last night and today. But once again more bond folks are disappearing or becoming unwilling to talk. Many have different appointments from now to early December to receive 1%.
Member: Your bond contact said we wouldn’t have to ask any more dumb questions after today…9 days ago
Member: Bruce is saying that we will get notified by 12 o’clock this afternoon and possibly collect today or tomorrow. Let’s hope he’s right
Member: Praying that this time we all have an amazing holiday season
