Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ROBINHOOD CRYPTO EU EXPANDS OFFERINGS WITH CIRCLE USDC STABLECOIN

Robinhood Crypto EU adds USDC stablecoin, providing users access to regulated dollar-backed digital assets and expanding crypto offerings.

▪️Robinhood Crypto EU added Circle's USDC stablecoin, giving 24M registered accounts access to the dollar-backed asset

▪️Circle's CEO confirmed USDC’s inclusion on Robinhood EU, alongside EURC, benefiting from Europe’s clear crypto regulations.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

▪️Circle's CEO confirmed USDC’s inclusion on Robinhood EU, alongside EURC, benefiting from Europe’s clear crypto regulations.

▪️Robinhood EU supports 30+ digital assets.

Robinhood Crypto EU has expanded the options available on its platform, now including Circle’s USDC stablecoin to its European customers. The integration allows users to access a regulated digital asset that is dollar-based, expanding Robinhood’s product portfolio in the crypto space.

Robinhood Introduces USDC Stablecoin To European Users
According to a recent post on X, Robinhood Crypto EU has incorporated Circle’s USDC into its platform, enabling 24 million registered accounts to access the dollar-backed digital asset. This addition aligns with the trading platform’s strategy of offering users compliant options in the cryptocurrency space.

Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, acknowledged USDC coming on Robinhood stating that the platform could further boost the use of stablecoins in Europe. Beside USDC, Allaire emphasized on EURC, the euro stablecoin of Circle, as both assets operate within the framework of European regulations.

Circle’s CEO added,

“EURC is the largest Euro Stable, has grown fast this year, is taking advantage of clear and fair regulations in Europe (alongside USDC!) and is growing TX volume, onchain FX use, and more and more exchanges and wallets launching support.”

Crypto Services Across European Markets
Robinhood continues to broaden its cryptocurrency portfolio, offering support for over 30 digital assets. The platform provides the lowest-cost trading across European markets, further cementing its position as a leading crypto platform. The inclusion of USDC in its offerings demonstrates dedication to providing investors with a diverse range of options.

Recently, the trading platform added Dogwifhat (WIF), a Solana-based meme coin, to its list of supported cryptocurrencies. The listing triggered a surge in WIF price and trading volume, highlighting its influence on market trends within the crypto sector.

In parallel developments, Circle launched USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) on the Aptos blockchain. This integration enables the native issuance of USDC on Aptos, improving its functionality within the network. It also enhances cross-chain interoperability and reduces dependence on bridged versions of the stablecoin.

The CCTP rollout facilitates seamless transfers between Aptos and other blockchains, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Base. The move complements Circle’s USDC strategy, further expanding its usability in decentralized finance.

METAMASK INTEGRATES VENMO TO ENHANCE FIAT-TO-CRYPTO ONRAMP OPTIONS

MetaMask added a fiat on-ramp feature through Venmo, allowing US users to buy crypto using the payment app, according to a Nov. 27 announcement.

Crypto-focused fintech Moonpay enabled the new payment method.

Venmo, a PayPal subsidiary, introduced crypto transfers for its customers in April 2023. The company has supported buying, holding, and selling crypto since 2021.

Although the MetaMask fiat-to-crypto option is available in roughly 200 countries, the Venmo partnership is only available for US users.

Efforts on payments
MetaMask first launched a fiat-to-crypto feature in April 2023 and has since added support for payment options via Apple Pay, debit and credit cards, PayPal, wire transfer, and ACH bank transactions.

Other MetaMask partners include Transak, Stripe, Sardine, and Banxa, among others.

The company recently launched the MetaMask Card in August in partnership with Mastercard and crypto service provider Crypto Life. The card is still in its pilot phase and is only available in Europe and the UK.

The debit card allows users to spend balances in USD Coin (USDC), Tether USD (USDT), and Wrapped Ethereum (WETH) at any vendor that accepts Mastercard. Additionally, the card is supported by Apple Pay and Google Pay.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 28 Nov. 2024

Compiled Thurs. 28 Nov. 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Possible Timing: Dr. Charlie Ward on Telegram:

The EBS is about to 9allegedly) begin in just two days!

Buckle Up. Massive Shifts are coming and temporary Martial Law could be on the table.

As the White Hats pull the plug on the Deepstate’s corrupt banking system and transition us to the Quantum Financial System (QFS), chaos is imminent.

Riots, false flags, and turmoil in major cities are expected.

A market crash could be days away.

Total Communication failure is coming.

The EBS will transmit loud emergency alerts directly to mobile phones worldwide via the Starlink satellite system.

During this blackout, there will be (allegedly) NO internet, NO cell service, NOTHING. ATMs, credit, and debit card systems will also go down—they run on the internet. Think about it. This is not a drill.

Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America have (allegedly) declared Bankruptcy. More banks are following suit.

This time, there will be NO ONE to bail them out. Depositors could lose everything. Yes, a bank run is not only possible—it’s inevitable. The global financial collapse is here, and the United States is cornered: transition to the new system or perish. There is no other way.

Are you ready? The clock is ticking. The storm we’ve been warning you about is now overhead. Nothing can stop what is coming. EVERYTHING will change. Spread the word.

The central bank said in the statement that the regulator will continue conducting currency sales operations linked to the National Welfare Fund on the domestic market, while deferred currency purchases are scheduled for next year. This year, the Russian central bank engaged in limited purchases of foreign currencies to stabilize the ruble. Earlier today, the Russian currency dropped to its lowest level against the dollar and the euro since March 2022 following Washington’s sanctions targeting Gazprom bank, Russia’s third-largest bank.

Any thinking person can understand and realize, the way you put an instant end to the black market is to revalue the currency (IQD) to a rate higher / more valuable than the Dollar. I maintain that this is nothing more than a stall tactic to hold off the RV / RI of the IQD. Occam's Razor is almost always the correct answer, but why are they doing this?

The 10 Golden Rules Of Investing Everyone Should Follow

James Royal, Ph.D. Tue, November 26, 2024 Bankrate

Investing can often be broken down into a few simple rules that investors can follow to be successful. But success can be as much about what to do as it is what not to do. On top of that, our emotions throw a wrench into the whole process. While everyone knows you need to “buy low and sell high,” our temperament often leads us to selling low and buying high.

So it’s key to develop a set of “golden rules” to help guide you through the tough times. Anyone can make money when the market is rising. But when the market gets choppy, investors who succeed and thrive are those who have a long-term plan that works.

The 10 Golden Rules Of Investing Everyone Should Follow

James Royal, Ph.D. Tue, November 26, 2024 Bankrate

Here are 10 golden rules of investing to follow to make you a more successful — and hopefully wealthy — investor.

Rule No. 1 — Never lose money

Let’s kick it off with some timeless advice from legendary investor Warren Buffett, who said, “Rule No. 1 is never lose money. Rule No. 2 is never forget Rule No. 1.” The Oracle of Omaha’s advice stresses the importance of avoiding loss in your portfolio. When you have more money in your portfolio, you can make more money on it. So, a loss hurts your future earning power.

Of course, it’s easy to say not to lose money. What Buffett’s rule essentially means is don’t become enchanted with an investment’s potential gains, but also look for its downsides. If you don’t get enough upside for the risks you’re taking, the investment may not be worth it. Focus on the downside first, counsels Buffett.

Rule No. 2 — Think like an owner

“Think like an owner,” says Chris Graff, co-chief investment officer at RMB Capital. “Remember that you are investing in businesses, not just stocks.”

While many investors treat stocks like gambling, real businesses stand behind those stocks. Stocks are a fractional ownership interest in a business, and as the business performs well or poorly over time, the company’s stock is likely to follow the direction of its profitability.

“Be aware of your motivation when investing,” says Christopher Mizer, CEO of Vivaris Capital in La Jolla, California. “Are you investing or gambling? Investing involves an analysis of fundamentals, valuation, and an opinion about how the business will perform in the future.”

“Make sure the management team is strong and aligned with the interests of shareholders, and that the company is in a strong financial and competitive position,” says Graff.

Rule No. 3 — Stick to your process

Experts advise investors to develop an investing process that works for them in good times and bad and then stick to that process. If you’re an investor who wants to dig into the details and you have the time to do so, then use that strength. If you’d prefer to not worry about investing so much or don’t have the time, then index funds could be a great option and deliver attractive returns. Either way, stick close to a process that works for you.

One of the best strategies for investors: a long-term buy-and-hold approach. You can buy stock funds regularly in a 401(k), for example, and then hold on for decades. But it can be easy when the market gets volatile to deviate from your plan because you’re temporarily losing money. Don’t do it.

Rule No. 4 — Buy when everyone is fearful

When the market is down, investors often sell or simply quit paying attention to it. But that’s when the bargains are out in droves. It’s true: the stock market is the only market where the goods go on sale and everyone is too afraid to buy. As Buffett has famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP’S TEAM PICKS PAUL ATKINS FOR SEC CHAIR: REPORT

In the ongoing developments surrounding the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape, Donald Trump’s team has reportedly consider a new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair to replace the current chair, Gary Gensler. According to the latest report, the Trump’s team has consider pro-crypto former commissioner Paul Atkins for the SEC chair position.

Trump’s Team Consider Paul Atkins to Replace Gary Gensler
Atkins is known for his crypto expertise and innovative stance in supporting this rapidly evolving landscape. Following his election as SEC chair, there is a strong possibility that he could actively back and promote U.S. crypto regulation while encouraging rapid growth in the sector.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Recently, Eleanor Terrett, a journalist at Fox Bussiness, noted on X (formerly Twitter),

“Atkins is someone who is not only crypto-savvy but possesses a deep understanding of the inner workings of the agency as both a former commissioner and staffer under two prior SEC Chairs — Richard C.”

Terrett further added that Atkins is seen as being capable of establishing a pro-innovation agenda while returning the agency to the so-called “gold standard” many in the Republican Party feel was lost under outgoing chair Gary Gensler.

Current Market Outlook
Following this much-awaited update, the overall cryptocurrency market began turning green.

As of press time, top assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) have registered gains of over 2.75%, 7.5%, and 6%, respectively, in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, other major cryptocurrencies are experiencing similar upside momentum.

TETHER DOESN’T LIKE MICAR SO DITCHES EURO STABLECOIN

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, doesn’t like Europe’s MiCA regulations. Other stablecoin issuers are also not keen on the requirement to put a substantial proportion of reserves into bank accounts, as required by MiCAR. But they nonetheless comply. Tether isn’t willing to do so, and today it confirmed it is shutting down EURT, its Euro stablecoin. Users have a year to redeem the coin.

EURT has a market capitalization of €26 million compared to Tether’s USD stablecoin at $132 billion. To date Tether has operated offshore so it’s likely just not worth the work involved to become MiCAR compliant.

MiCAR requires 30% of reserves to be held in bank accounts, with 60% for larger stablecoins. Tether views this as risky compared to investing in Treasuries. Bank deposits also pay less than government bonds.

“Until a more risk-averse framework is in place — one that fosters innovation and offers the stability and protection our users deserve — we have chosen to prioritize other initiatives,” Tether said in a statement.

Tether is known for keeping most of its stablecoin reserves in high risk assets in the past. The company is also accident prone. Over time the quality has improved significantly, but over 15% of its reserves would be considered moderate to high risk.

Instead of becoming MiCAR compliant itself, Tether’s investment arm (with assets separate from the stablecoin) has invested in Quantoz, a company that plans to issue MiCAR compliant US dollar and euro stablecoins. Quantoz will also use Tether’s Hadron tokenization infrastructure.

What about USDT in Europe?
MiCAR came into force for stablecoins at the end of June, but much of the regulations only apply from year end, at which time enforcement actions become a possibility.

The regulations don’t just apply to Euro stablecoins, but other currencies as well. There are caps of €200 million in daily transactions for non euro coins. Given Tether’s USDT sometimes transacts around $100 billion in a day, one might think it would breach these limits.

However, the limits relate to everyday retail transactions. It excludes crypto transactions and all investment transactions and only applies where both the payer and the recipient are within the EU. We previously published a deeper dive into the limits.

Meanwhile, Paxos, the regulated stablecoin issuer has acquired a MiCAR compliant firm, Membrane Finance.

‘Fiat Is Failing’: Why James Lavish Believes Bitcoin Is the Future of Hard Money

Kitco News: 11-27-2024

Bitcoin is making waves as it approaches $100,000, but according to James Lavish, Managing Partner at the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, the real story lies in the decline of fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar.

In this interview Jeremy Szafron, Lavish explains why inflation, debt, and currency debasement are fueling Bitcoin’s meteoric rise. He also breaks down key catalysts ahead, including institutional adoption, regulatory clarity following SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure, and the potential impact of pro-crypto policies under a Trump administration.

Lavish delves into Bitcoin’s long-term potential, predicting it could rival gold as a global store of value and surpass $1 million per coin within the next decade.

He also shares insights on MicroStrategy’s bold Bitcoin strategy and what retail and institutional investors should watch for in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.

Whether you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast or a skeptic, this conversation offers critical insights into the future of digital assets.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday 11-27-24

Gold Prices Move Cautiously Ahead Of US Inflation Data

Wednesday 27 November 2024 08:24 | Economic Number of readings: 138 Baghdad / NINA / Gold prices fluctuated in a narrow range during Asian trading on Wednesday, amid a set of factors affecting investors, most notably anticipation of US inflation data, which will give indications about the potential extent of the Federal Reserve's (the US central bank) interest rate cut next month.

Spot gold settled at $2,635.56 per ounce by dawn on Wednesday, and basically moved within a narrow range of nine dollars during the session. Gold recorded its lowest level in more than a week yesterday, Tuesday.

Gold Prices Move Cautiously Ahead Of US Inflation Data

US gold futures rose 0.6 percent to $2,635.80.

As for other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.1 percent to $30.39 per ounce, platinum settled at $927.45, and palladium fell 0.4 percent to $973.50.

“There’s a geopolitical element to all of this, with some selling pressure coming from the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon,” said Kyle Rodda, a financial markets analyst at Capital.com.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, brokered by the United States and France, went into effect at 0200 GMT on Wednesday.

Gold is considered a safe-haven investment in times of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, such as trade wars and other conflicts.

“Longer term, I think the trade war that (US President-elect Donald) Trump is going to start could be positive for gold because of the high debt burden and some abandonment of the dollar,” Rodda said.

Federal Reserve officials were divided over whether to cut interest rates again at their meeting earlier this month, but agreed to avoid offering too much guidance on the future direction of monetary policy.

Markets are currently pricing in a 63 percent chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in December, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool.

Traders will be closely watching the Core PCE, Jobless Claims and First GDP Revision data, due later today./End9 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1171363

Economist: Non-Oil Revenues To Achieve Significant Growth In 2024

Wednesday 27 November 2024 | Economic Number of readings: 204 Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi, a member of the Political Economic Center, announced that the non-oil revenues of the Iraqi state grew during the first nine months of 2024 by 198% to reach the 12.3% barrier of its contribution to the total revenues of the Iraqi state.

Al-Obaidi said in a statement that the total non-oil revenues of the Iraqi state during this period amounted to 14 trillion Iraqi dinars, up from the same period in 2023, which was about 4.7 trillion dinars. Despite the decrease in the value of revenues resulting from taxes on income and wealth by 17%, the increase in commodity taxes by 275% and the increase in the budget's share of public sector profits by 243% contributed to this significant increase.

He explained that for the first time since 2003, non-oil revenues constituted 12% of total revenues and the contribution of oil revenues decreased to reach 88% of total revenues.

He added that the total revenues until September 2024 amounted to 114 trillion Iraqi dinars, an increase of 19% compared to the same period in 2023, which amounted to 95.85 trillion Iraqi dinars.

The improvement in non-oil revenues is due to the reforms made in the tax and customs file, in addition to encouraging profitable public companies to increase their contribution to government revenues. It is expected that non-oil revenues in 2024 will reach the barrier of 18 trillion Iraqi dinars. Despite the increase in this number, it is still far from the planned number in the budget, which amounts to about 28 trillion Iraqi dinars. However, this improvement in these revenues reflects the success of the reforms made in the field of collection and work to increase payment through electronic outlets. / End 9

In Numbers.. Significant Growth In Non-Oil Revenues In Iraq During 2024

Time: 2024/11/27 Read: 1,872 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Iraq's non-oil revenues achieved significant growth during the first nine months of 2024, recording a 198% increase compared to last year, to reach a contribution of 12.3% of the state's total revenues

Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, said in a statement received by {Al-Furat News}, "According to official data, total non-oil revenues during this period amounted to 14 trillion Iraqi dinars, compared to 4.7 trillion dinars during the same period in 2023."

He continued: "For the first time since 2003, non-oil revenues constituted 12% of total Iraqi revenues. Total state revenues until September 2024 amounted to about 114 trillion Iraqi dinars, an increase of 19% compared to last year."

What Is Iraq's Connection? Goldman Sachs: OPEC+ Cuts May Support Oil In The Short Term

Energy Economy News - Follow-up Crude oil production in Iraq, Kazakhstan and Russia has fallen in compliance with OPEC+ production cuts, supporting some upside for Brent prices in the near term, according to a recent note from Goldman Sachs.

The investment bank added in its note issued yesterday, Tuesday, that Saudi Arabia is likely to extend oil production cuts due to the recent decline in prices, and that it now believes that oil production cuts will continue until April 2025 instead of January.

Goldman Sachs maintained its forecast for the average price of Brent crude for 2025 at $76 per barrel.

Two OPEC+ sources told Reuters that the group, which includes members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, is discussing another delay to the oil production increase that was scheduled to start in January.

At the group's most recent meeting on November 3, OPEC+ agreed to postpone a production increase scheduled for December for a month.

The bank said that "any increase in OPEC+ production will be gradual and data-dependent."

Goldman Sachs added that the high level of compliance with OPEC+ production cuts indicates that the group's member states are working together to stabilize oil prices.

He said that the production of Iraq, Kazakhstan and Russia decreased by 0.5 million barrels per day in November.

OPEC members are unlikely to backtrack on voluntary production cuts in the near term, executives from global commodity trading giants Vitol, Trafigura and Gunvor told the Energy Intelligence Forum in London.

But despite OPEC+ production cuts and delays to boost output, Brent crude futures have mostly remained in a $70-$80 range this year, trading below $74 on Tuesday.

Goldman Sachs last week revised its forecast for Brent prices to an average of $80 per barrel this year, despite a supply deficit and geopolitical uncertainty in 2024, pointing to an expected surplus in 2025.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 11-26-24

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, November 26th and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in again, wherever you're located around the globe. And for those in the United States, we celebrate our Thanksgiving in two days on the 28th and that is in the States. Now in Canada, you celebrate it in October. And I cannot remember the actual date, in October for our neighbors to the north, they already had their Thanksgiving. But they might. They might just have a turkey sandwich on our Thanksgiving. I hope so. I hope you can. All right, so let's do this. Let's go ahead and pray to call in,

Now, let's go into where we are in terms of our information, in terms of our timing, and in terms of everything that I wanted to bring to you tonight, so Bob did a wonderful job of explaining all that and giving us some ideas.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 11-26-24

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

I would say this, we had been told for a while that their intention has been for us to have this on or by no before or by Thanksgiving, before or by Thanksgiving, which is the 28th today is the 26th so I have what I believe will be a good intel report to give you guys tonight.

Let’s start first of all with something that you might have seen in the news. There was a cease fire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that will take effect tomorrow morning, local time Israel Lebanon on local time at 10am the morning, tomorrow morning,

There's still fighting going on now, and if, if I'm right, it may continue all the way through the night with shelling and bombing and all of that that's happening between those two. It'll probably take place all the way up until 9:59am tomorrow.

Now I hate to say but that's my gut on it. It may or may not be right, but starting at 10am the cease fire is in effect for 60 days. And President Trump will be back in the saddle, by then, before then, and I think he will convert that into a peace accord in the Middle East very soon, very quickly. He's already doing things now, ahead of his inauguration, to get the country in the best shape we can be in.

Now, I think that that happening tomorrow, Wednesday, 10 am in the Middle Eastern Time, let's call it. I think that could be significant for us. I think that's saying this is when GESARA can quite possibly kick in for the rest of the world. We'll see. Obviously, that's just a sign that we are that close to having that come into play. – GESARA - G, E, S, A R, A - We in this country have NESARA - N, E, S, A R,A - national, okay, National Economic, Strategic and Recovery Act.

So I believe we, when we get this, the RV, the emails, our toll free numbers, we should be getting something about the United States new currency, the USN, the physical money, as USTN, United States Treasury notes, no longer Federal Reserve notes, the Fed is dead, so the remnant of it is absorbed into the new US Treasury as the IRS. That's going to be a different deal.

NESARA changes everything for us, and it will be visible when we are able to come out of our exchanges, and we'll see some of the effects of that.

Now - Here's the information that we had. I told you that several sources told us that we should have this by or before Thanksgiving that President Trump wanted us to have Christmas at Thanksgiving. Okay, so here's where I think we're going.

Some of our sources said that the Iraqi Dinar , as well as some of the other these. I'm sure all the other currencies are to be placed on the Forex tomorrow. Now we've had the fact that they've traded. We have not seen them on our Forex screens, but the theory is that once the dinar is on the Forex tomorrow, we're off to the races. Was how it was. We’re off to the races. We're good to go. We'll get our emails with the toll free number in it, we'll be able to set appointments and quite possibly start tomorrow.

Now I know this is what we're looking for. Now another part of information, another piece we got, relating to those currencies is that we got information. This came from the US Space Force, that Vietnamese Dong was on an exchange, and this was in the Vietnamese language, and then translated to English. And our people said that it was just dollars and it would be between six and eight tomorrow. That's another good sign that the RV is there.

Now, when we're saying that, we're talking about bank rates, not redemption center rates, our rate should be better at the redemption center on every on dinar and Dong and I know they're gonna be a lot better on dinar, especially because we know there's a contract rate on Dinar that will be offered to us that is extremely high.. Okay, not at the bank but at the redemption centers. Just so you know.

Now, the other piece is another source told Us just this evening, like an hour before the big call that their intention is for this to go tomorrow, like I said, the other one said about Wednesday, so that we would have money for Thanksgiving and for Black Friday. So Thursday and Friday, so we would have it

Now, let's say this happens - we get our notifications tomorrow. We call to set our appointments. We start some of us, we start tomorrow, Wednesday. What about Thursday? Thanksgiving Day information we're getting from the redemption centers is that most, but possibly not all, will be open Thanksgiving Day for five hours.

So that's just enough to get so many people in on that day for a short period of time of five hours. Now, obviously, if you don't want to schedule it for Friday, for Thursday, and you can schedule for tomorrow, do it. Schedule it for Friday, do it, etc. But if this does start tomorrow, they are anticipating us going in for us for up to five hours to do our exchanges on Thursday -Thanksgiving Day.

Now let's say that you had that option versus not going in, and you chose to go in, you certainly could move your Thanksgiving dinner and eat it around your exchange, quite possibly. And it could be that the exchange appointments are are in the afternoon, evening. You might miss a football game, you might miss a nap, but it could be an option for you to go then.

Okay, so keep that in mind, if we do get started tomorrow, obviously you're going to call and try to set your appointment to fit your schedule. Okay? And I think that's exciting,

From an Intel point of view. I believe that's what we want to hear. That this is going, that it's going before Thanksgiving, which is tomorrow is the only day before Thanksgiving we would get our exchanges started as early as tomorrow. Don't know what time we're just going to have to kind of keep an eye on it. Watch your emails as they come in, see if you get one from the Wells Fargo, and see if it's it's what we think it is, which will include the toll free number.

Now we will put the toll free number up on our website, big call universe.com, and we'll also send out an email to the people that wanted the toll free number. We'll send it as a group email to anybody who has already registered their email for that purpose on our website. It's all you have to do.

Put your email in and you're on the list. If you've already done it, even 2 – 3 - 4, years ago, it's still there. We have it. You don't have to do it again. If your email has changed, yeah, you'd want to re enter it. You want to put it in, put the new email in, okay, because there could be some people that even Wells Fargo doesn't even, or they don't. They don't have they know.

They know who most they know who most of them holders are. They know most of the currency holders are because they were able to get that information from all the dealers, currency dealers. It was part of what the US Treasury wanted to do. So I think the best thing we can do is just keep an eye on emails.

So that is the intel that we had for today. A lot of our contacts are under NDAs. It's been tough even to get the intel that we got that I gave you tonight. Now it hasn't been easy, but I like it makes sense, if they do want to have this buyer before Thanksgiving, tomorrow- tomorrow's our day.

So let's keep the faith for it. Let's believe for it. Let's continue to pray that to occur before I fall asleep tonight, We will not have a call Thursday night due to Thanksgiving, and hopefully we do receive these emails appointments and can start as early as tomorrow.

Okay, so let's just pray the call out,

Thank you, everybody again for listening. Thank you for this opportunity for the big call in touch with you by email. All right, everybody. Have a wonderful night, a wonderful Thanksgiving day on Thursday, and let's just believe for this to come through as I've been informed, that's what we're hoping for and believing for with positive expectation. That's what hope means, positive expectation in Jesus name. Thanks everybody. Have a wonderful night and a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Tavi Costa: Gold Bull for Treasury Secretary

Gold Bull for Treasury Secretary

Liberty and Finance: 11-26-2024

In a recent appearance on Liberty and Finance, investment strategist Tavi Costa delivered insight into the potential implications of Scott Bessent’s appointment as Treasury Secretary under Donald Trump.

While initial reactions from the markets have been mixed, with skepticism surrounding Bessent’s credentials and his bullish stance on gold, Costa argues the negative sentiment may misinterpret the broader macroeconomic shifts that could unfold from this pivotal appointment.

Gold Bull for Treasury Secretary

Liberty and Finance: 11-26-2024

Scott Bessent is no stranger to the financial world, having built a reputation through his previous role as Chief Investment Officer for George Soros. His track record shows a keen understanding of global economic dynamics, which Costa views as a considerable asset during a time of uncertainty.

While the markets reacted cautiously to the news of Bessent’s pick, with some market commentators expressing doubt about his market strategies, Costa believes that this skepticism may overlook the strategic implications Bessent’s policies could have on the gold market and the U.S. economy at large.

Bessent’s recent bullish position on gold positions it as his largest investment, which Costa sees as a significant statement amidst growing economic concerns.

In recent years, gold has often been perceived as a safe haven, particularly in times of financial instability and inflationary pressures. Costa contends that Bessent’s bullish outlook could potentially lead to a reevaluation of gold’s role in both investment portfolios and broader monetary policies.

Investors currently overlooking Bessent’s stance may find themselves unprepared for a substantial shift in market sentiment, especially if Bessent were to implement strategies that might encourage further investment in gold.

Beyond gold, Costa underscores the potential for Bessent’s policies to catalyze a realignment of the global monetary system.

In the backdrop of rising debt levels and unprecedented monetary easing, Bessent’s approach could spell a reassessment of the U.S. dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency. Costa highlights concerns regarding U.S. dollar devaluation, an eventuality that could arise from continued fiscal and monetary expansion. Bessent’s policy maneuvers, especially if pursued aggressively, could contribute to a significant shift in how the dollar is perceived globally.

Moreover, Costa emphasizes that Bessent’s appointment coincides with a notable shift in the geopolitical landscape. As nations like China and Russia work towards alternatives to the U.S. dollar, Bessent’s leadership could either facilitate the U.S.’s response to these challenges or inadvertently accelerate the decline of dollar supremacy.

His policies may not only affect the U.S. economy but also influence global trade dynamics, prompting countries to reevaluate their currency dependencies.

In conclusion, while the market’s initial skepticism surrounding Scott Bessent’s appointment as Treasury Secretary warrants consideration, Tavi Costa’s analysis presents a compelling case for a more nuanced understanding of its implications.

Bessent’s bullish sentiment toward gold, combined with the potential for a reconfiguration of fiscal and monetary policies, suggests a transformative time ahead.

As stakeholders continue to monitor developments, Costa’s insights remind us that the true impact of Bessent’s stewardship may be far-reaching, extending well beyond the confines of the treasury and into the future of global finance.
