Global Currency Reset:

Tues. 21 Jan. 2025 Wolverine: I have spoken to platform owners and they have the payment orders and on Wed. 22 Jan. things will start happening. Not everyone starts tomorrow. It is a process. Some will start tomorrow, some will start the next day and the next, but it starts from tomorrow onwards. Some platforms will go Feb 1st or 2nd, some platforms a bit longer.

Wolverine: Just yesterday, I put a post about thanking Charlie Ward. I have spoken to Charlie a couple of times, and he told me a while back that nothing would happen till Biden is removed, and that was nearly two years ago. It would not make sense for Biden to get all the glory. However, I was still getting all the intel otherwise, and others were also getting intel to the otherwise: Bruce, MarkZ, and others were used to create misinformation to catch the “bad people”

On Sat. 25 Jan. 2025, the first phase of the wealth redistribution will (allegedly) officially commence for the general public. …JFK Jr. on Telegram

Militia Man  Article: "Great Progress has been made by Iraq in the filing of the joining of the World Trade Organization after resuming negotiations that were suspended for more than 16 years stressing this step represents a part of Iraq's vision to enhance Iraq's role in the global trading system."  They didn't do it at 1310.  Are they ever going to do that?  I don't think so...Why didn't they do it years ago?  If nothing is going to change and they're going to keep it the same how are they going to pay for that?  I think it's far cheaper for Iraq to bring on a real effective exchange rate to meet compliance with Article VIII of the IMF Article IV too...I think it's pretty exciting...

The Last Time We Faced THIS was 2008 —Why We’re Headed For a “Dangerous Recession”

Daniela Cambone:  1-22-2024

The U.S. is on the brink of a dangerous recession in 2025, warns Edward Dowd, Founding Partner of Phinance Technologies.

In this episode of our 2025 Outlook Series, Dowd joins Daniela Cambone to dissect the economic challenges ahead, pointing to unprecedented government spending and migration issues as key factors dragging down the economy

. “Immigration has been the elephant in the room for the last two years. That's one of the major reasons President Trump was elected” he says.

Dowd also delves into the role of central banks and fiscal stimulus, predicting that inflationary pressures will drive gold higher in 2025, reminiscent of the economic turbulence of the 1970s.

Thank you MarkZ for all your time, and encouragement daily….. PDK

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: So much news coming quickly…..I believe we are very close,

Member: Sure hope we will be blessed with the RV before the end of January

MZ: We don’t know when it’s going to happen but we are seeing many signs that it is very close.

MZ: I shared last night that I was told by political sources that it is a top priority for our new US administration to see currency and rate changes.

MZ: Some historic bond contacts are still convinced they will see things happen today…and some that think nothing happen until the first week of February for them.

MZ: I did hear something interesting from an aggregate of bond sources and a group…not about timing but about logistics. And similar things from a Prosperity Package group. (Omega Group) That the tax exemption for the settlements will be done in fiat.

MZ: originally we were told that we would see the Fines and Penalties portion paid in fiat. Then we would see the RV (Revaluation of currencies) Then reset….all currencies worldwide go to parity …..and Then pay out the 4A and 4B portions out including CMKX, PP’s  ect….the entire process was only supposed to take about 10 days.

Member: I wonder where the gold backed currency change fits into that….i would guess after F&P’s?

Member: A interesting podcaster with Texas rep to eliminate property taxes and instituting a Uniform State Sales Tax. Property taxes are contributing to bankruptcy

MZ: .Could we be back on that original plan? It’s possible.  Many are saying they expect to see their initial portion in fiat. They were also told there would be no taxes….I heard this from several different groups. No taxes on our exchange…..We are starting to hear more and more logistics on this thing. There is progress and movement happening. We are trying to put the pieces together but do not have all the answers yet.

Member: I remember Mr. C saying it's written in the Golden Dragon's treaty, that there would be NO TAX on Rv!!!

Member: I heard from Indian groups that its just a few more days. I heard that this morning from the actual group

Member: yes Native American nations ….mine the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation has sent out letters to all members

MZ: I am hearing a lot of that….Im getting dates from bonds, groups, PP”s and Indian nations…..just trying not to ride the roller coaster. They are all saying anywhere from today to the first week in Feb. I believe we have a very busy week or two in front of us.  Hopefully we get paid early in this process.

Member: MarkZ the meeting today w ripple and SEC is UGE

MZ: Vietnam news : “The dollar drops against the dong”  the dong is gaining strength over the US dollar. Vietnam is taking the DOGE approach and want to cut 20% of the government and become more democratic and have an open market. They need to increase the value of the dong. I feel good seeing this.

Member: President Trump is about to speak remotely to the World Economic Forum in Davos……that sounds exciting…

Member:Trump Addressing The World Economic Forum in 12 minutes on Fox Live News

Member: I wonder - was it real or fake in regards to the supreme court and the fiat dollar being null and void?

Member: Does Trump need to go to Reno for the RV to happen? Heard he’s planning a stop by this weekend.

MZ: “International report confirms the strength and sobriety of the Iraqi regime in combatting money laundering and terrorist financing”  There is an important direction to the news in Iraq. They are focusing and telling us Iraq is safe and stable. They need to be seen as safe and stable to the world to justify the change in rate.  There are many articles stating this.

Member: will the banks in Iraq be open even during the holiday this coming Sunday? Could be an interesting tell on the timing?.

MZ: It is my understanding they are going to be closed but I have not seen an article or statement from the banks. So for now consider it a rumor.

Member: Mark- do you believe Iraq is being controlled by Iran or CIA paid groups?

MZ: Some believe that especially how they are handling the removal of militias. It’s a delicate situation because of the Shiites outside influences.

Member: other sites saying Sudani is a bad guy that is holding up the RV…I think someone is delaying it….but I don’t think it’s Sudani.

​​Member: How do I get on a list to be get an appointment to exchange my dinar etc. when the RV happens?

Member: Register at dinar sites to see the announcement and get an email with the 800 numbers….All dinar intel providers will post the info as well. You will not miss it .

Member: What is your gut feeling Mark?

MZ: With the number of conversations with Prosperity packages people, groups, CMKX, and bond folks….what makes the most sense is anywhere from Saturday to anytime the next few weeks. I believe sometime in the next few weeks we will cross the Rubicon…They will have money and you and I will be making appointments. Just my opinion of course

Member: This week there are 7 planets in alignment

Member: Hopefully the RV will line up the those planets

Member: I’m thankful for the movements forward whether an inch afoot or a mile I’m thankful that it is moving and being done correctly so the rats can’t have control and our generations are safe and secure.

Member: Thank you Mark! Thank you Mods! Have a great day Patriots!

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 1-23-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CME’S XRP AND SOL FUTURES PAGE GOES LIVE: MAJOR STEP TOWARDS FEBRUARY 10 LAUNCH

In a significant development for the broader cryptocurrency market and ongoing digital asset adoption in the US and globally, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world’s largest derivatives marketplace, briefly added a futures page for XRP and Solana (SOL) to its staging subdomain.

This move indicates preparations for an official announcement regarding the launch of futures contracts for these two leading cryptocurrencies, set to go live on February 10, pending regulatory review.

XRP And SOL Futures On The Horizon?

The futures page was briefly visible before being taken down, after a user on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) shared a screenshot revealing its content.

The page highlighted that traders could engage in “regulated capital-efficient futures” for XRP and SOL, emphasizing the flexibility and risk management these contracts would offer.

Specifically, the contracts are expected to be available in both standard and micro-sized formats, allowing investors to scale their exposure to these cryptocurrencies more

Key features of the upcoming contracts include the ability to manage exposure to SOL and XRP through financially settled contracts in US dollars, eliminating the need for a crypto wallet.

This setup positions the CME’s offerings within a regulated environment overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which is known for its transparent pricing and financial safeguards.

James Seyffart, a Bloomberg expert, commented on the development, stating that the emergence of these futures contracts is both logical and anticipated, given the current market dynamics.

However, despite the excitement surrounding the potential introduction of XRP and SOL futures, market reactions have been relatively muted. Investors appear to be awaiting further official confirmation from the CME before making significant moves.

Short-Term Challenges, But Monthly Performance Remains Strong

At the close of the day, XRP was trading at $3.15, while Solana remained at $249. Both tokens recorded slight losses of approximately 2% over the past 24 hours, reflecting a broader trend in the cryptocurrency market as traders await catalysts to drive prices upward.

While the short-term outlook may seem challenging, both XRP and SOL have seen remarkable gains over the past month, with increases of 32% and 42%, respectively.

Solana recently reached a new record high of $293 just before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, while XRP has made impressive strides, hitting a seven-year high of $3.38, though it still falls short of its previous peak of $3.40 from the 2018 market rally.

As the market anticipates official confirmation regarding the CME’s futures contracts, the potential for XRP and SOL to enter a new price discovery phase remains.

If these futures are officially launched, they could significantly impact trading activity and investor sentiment for both cryptocurrencies, paving the way for further institutional interest and market growth.

COINBASE EXECUTIVE DISCOVERS 430 BTC IN DOZENS OF ROSS ULBRICHT’S DORMANT WALLETS, VALUED AT $47M

▪️Coinbase exec discovers 430 Bitcoins linked to Ross Ulbricht, now worth $47M, untouched for over 13 years.

▪️Trump’s pardon of Ross Ulbricht sparks debate, as crypto community celebrates his release despite Silk Road’s criminal activities.

President Trump has kept one of his reelection promises by pardoning Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road and a key figure in the early days of Bitcoin, who has been in prison for 12 years. In a recent tweet, a Coinbase executive claimed that he discovered Bitcoin linked to Ross, valued at nearly $47 million, which has been untouched for more than 13 years.

430 Bitcoins Excluded from Government Seizure

Conor Grogan, Coinbase’s Director of Product Strategy and Business Operations, recently announced that he discovered around 430 bitcoins in several wallets linked to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road.

This discovery comes after Ulbricht received a full pardon from President Donald Trump information
 Grogan highlighted that these bitcoins, valued at approximately $47 million today, were not part of the 174,000 BTC seized by U.S. authorities. This seizure occurred from Silk Road-affiliated wallets after the platform was shut down in 2013. These bitcoins have remained untouched for over 13 years.

In his post on X, Grogan shared a screenshot of what he believes is one of Ulbricht’s Bitcoin addresses, which currently holds 88.7 BTC, as verified by the blockchain explorer Mempool.

Conor said, “Back then these were probably dust wallets, now, collectively, they are worth about $47M. Welcome back Ross.”

He noted that these funds were likely considered insignificant at the time but now represent a significant value. Grogan also mentioned the possibility that Ulbricht might still have access to the private keys, suggesting that time would tell if they can be recovered.

Despite his criminal activities, Mr. Ulbricht remains popular among crypto enthusiasts because Silk Road was an early platform for Bitcoin transactions. His supporters believe his sentence was too harsh and have promoted the “Free Ross” slogan at industry events and online.

Why did Trump Pardon Ross Ulbricht?

President Trump’s pardon of Ross Williams Ulbricht follows through on his campaign pledges to confront what he calls a “weaponized government.” In a post on Truth Social announcing the pardon, Trump labeled Ulbricht’s conviction as a result of political corruption and openly criticized the prosecutors.

Ulbricht is celebrated as a cult hero among crypto enthusiasts, who see Silk Road as an early adopter of Bitcoin. The “Free Ross” slogan has been a popular rallying cry at blockchain events and in online forums for years. 

The crypto community, having reportedly donated over $100 million to Trump’s reelection campaign, played a significant role in Ulbricht’s release.  

However, critics are concerned that pardoning Ross Ulbricht could lead to more lenient treatment for similar crimes in the future. They point out the serious harm from drugs traded on Silk Road, arguing that it sends the wrong message about holding people accountable for profiting from illegal activities.

Some Thoughts On Today’s Record High Prices

Some Thoughts On Today’s Record High Prices 

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) January 22 2025

Herbert Hoover was an unstoppable force in 1928.

The Roaring Twenties were in full swing. Prosperity (it seemed) was everywhere. The stock market was soaring. People were making money hand over fist. And Hoover was the ‘status quo’ Presidential candidate that year.

In other words, a vote for Hoover was a vote for the good times to continue. And the guy vanquished his opponent on election day, November 6, 1928, by one of the most lopsided margins in history up to that point.

So the euphoria continued. In the four months between Hoover’s election victory in November, and his inauguration in early March, the stock market soared by more than 20%.

Optimism was everywhere. And, convinced that asset prices would only go up, Americans borrowed heavily to buy shares on the stock market.

But it was less than eight months into Hoover’s presidency that the stock market crashed... and all that confidence quickly evaporated. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went on to lose nearly 90% of its value over the next three years.

Now, don’t get me wrong— I’m not predicting an imminent crash of the stock market. America’s economy today is fundamentally different than it was in 1929.

But there are some similarities.

One key similarity is that stock valuations, i.e. the amounts that investors are willing to pay for every dollar of a company’s earnings, revenue, and/or assets, are more stretched than they were even in 1929.

And the cause is also similar.

By 1929 the Federal Reserve was still pretty new; it had only been formed in 1913, and had spent most of the decade engaged in a rate-cutting monetary bonanza that fueled wild financial speculation.

Roughly nine decades later, the Fed engaged in a similar monetary bonanza as the pandemic began. They conjured trillions of dollars out of thin air and slashed rates to zero, sparking one of the most extreme speculative bubbles in financial history.

I’m sure you remember: even the most outrageous assets— meme stocks, shitcoins, and ‘artwork’ consisting of a banana duct-taped to the wall, traded hands for unbelievable prices.

Interest rates have risen significantly since then, and the Fed has made some efforts to make tiny reductions to the money supply. But most of the excesses still remain— hence historically high stock market valuations like Price/Earnings ratios, or the total stock market capitalization to GDP ratio.

If stock market valuations were to return to historic averages, it would require either a sharp decline in stock prices... or an extended period of stagnant market performance.

But again, I’m not predicting this is going to happen. There’s absolutely no reason why stocks can’t remain expensive... or become even more expensive. Historic averages are indicators of some deviation from the norm. But they don’t dictate immediate outcomes.

But for investors, this environment presents a dilemma. On one hand, it’s difficult to justify paying record high prices for assets at super-stretched valuations. Yet, again, on the other hand, historically high valuations don’t necessarily mean that a collapse or pullback is imminent.

But there is an alternative worth considering.

Early in his career, Warren Buffett favored an ultra deep-value strategy that focused on buying companies trading at steep discounts to their intrinsic worth.

Some of these businesses were of questionable quality. In a way, Buffett was willing to buy almost anything if it were cheap enough.

But soon his long-time partner Charlie Munger entered the picture and introduced Buffett to a transformative idea: instead of sifting through mediocre companies simply because they were cheap, why not seek out high-quality businesses with durable competitive advantages, even if they came at a higher— but still fair— price?

Buffett eventually understood the axiom: “it’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”

(Obviously it’s even better if you can find wonderful businesses at wonderful prices.)

Where can you find that today?

Well, it’s very difficult in the US. There are some wonderful businesses. But it’s hard to argue that a 100x Enterprise Value to Free Cash Flow ratio is a “fair price”.

But if you expand your horizons abroad, there are fantastic businesses around the world that trade for next to nothing. It seems like everyone is buying US stocks, but they completely ignore amazing deals overseas.

Another option we’ve talked about many times before is the real asset sector, i.e. vital resources and commodities such as metals, energy, agriculture, and productive technology.

There is a severe lack of investment in many of these real asset companies, to the point where certain commodities are becoming scarce relative to demand.

Uranium is a great example. There is now literally a supply deficit, i.e. not enough production to meet demand. And given the momentum for nuclear power, uranium is poised to become one of the world’s most important resources.

Gold is another example. For years, exploration has been lackluster, partly due to lack of investor interest in the sector. Remaining mine reserves are dwindling, and future gold production is questionable.

Yet demand for gold has skyrocketed— mostly from central banks who have been dumping their US dollars. So the gold miners who have efficient production, high quality mines, and solid reserves are making huge profits... yet their share prices have barely moved.

In other words, investors would rather pay 100x earnings for a popular tech stock than pay 3x earnings for a profitable, debt-free, dividend paying gold stock.

Again, the stock market could keep flying higher to even more dizzying heights. But there are definitely some excellent companies out there which offer profits, dividends, and substantial value— if you’re willing to look beyond the mainstream.

To your freedom,  James Hickman  Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC

PS- We routinely name specific real asset companies, which we believe are primed to boom under these conditions, in Schiff Sovereign Premium.

We focus on businesses which have valuations just 4 or 5 times their yearly free cash flow, and often pay out a lot of those profits through dividends.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 1-23-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Al-Haimus: We were able to increase the business of the Iraq Stock Exchange by about 16 percent

The Chairman of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Haimus, announced today, Thursday, that the Commission was able to increase the business of the Iraq Stock Exchange by about 16 percent, while pointing to cooperation with the World Bank on governance.

Al-Haimus told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "During the past year, we were able to increase the business of the Iraq Stock Exchange by about 16 percent," expressing his "hope that the current year will be a stronger start on the subject of benefiting from the agreements signed with the Abu Dhabi Financial Market and the Saudi Market, which will help attract investors from abroad and increase the business of the Iraq Stock Exchange."

Al-Haimus added that "cooperation has been made with the World Bank on governance, and we will have completed it by the end of the first quarter of this year." link

Tishwash:  Al-Mashhadani: Iraqi-American relations will remain stable under Trump

Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al Mashhadani expects bilateral relations between Iraq and the United States to stabilize under the new US President Donald Trump.

Al-Mashhadani said in a televised statement: "Trump's agenda is economic, not military, and he wants to put out fires and wars. Iraq is an oil country with many resources, and relations with America will remain stable."

He explained that "the Popular Mobilization Forces are a security institution and their existence is legal and linked to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The factions outside the control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces are the ones being discussed.

" Al-Mashhadani ruled out "the United States and Iran going into conflict."

He pointed out that "if we need the presence of the international coalition, they will remain, and otherwise we will deal with it in the old way, which is negotiation," stressing that "coordination between the presidencies is at the highest levels."

The Speaker of the House of Representatives considered that "the current parliamentary session was born weak, and the election year is the weakest in terms of legislative and oversight productivity," noting that "the resolution of the accountability and justice file will be judicial." link

Tishwash:  Hantoush: Electronic payment reduces the cost of paper currency and supports economic transparency

Researcher and specialist in financial and banking Mustafa Hantoush confirmed today, Tuesday, that electronic payment reduces the costs of paper currency and supports economic transparency.

Hantoush said in a statement to the Al-Maalouma Agency, “There are major developments in the electronic payment sector in Iraq,” noting that “the government has formed a special committee in cooperation with the Central Bank to support this system.”

He pointed out that "the value of electronic payment in Iraq witnessed a huge leap, as it did not exceed 300 billion dinars during the years 2020-2021, but today it has reached 10 trillion dinars," indicating that "this development was accompanied by a significant expansion in the use of financial technology within state departments, as the number of government departments that rely on this system increased from only 8 departments to more than 600 departments.”

He added, "The number of point-of-sale (POS) devices has witnessed remarkable growth, jumping from 8,000 devices to more than 40,000 devices, reflecting the rapid expansion in the infrastructure needed to implement electronic payment systems."

He explained that "electronic payment exempts the state from the high cost of printing paper currency, in addition to providing solutions to the cash liquidity crisis. It also enables the government to accurately read the market, monitor profitable sectors, and determine the locations of money flow, which contributes to strengthening the national economy."

He pointed out that "the government has succeeded in marketing the culture of electronic payment, but it still needs to exert more efforts to enhance public awareness about the importance of this system and increase reliance on it." link

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-21-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-21-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, January 21st and you're listening to the big call. Welcome everybody from all around the globe, as we are currently under day two of the new Trump administration and the new Trump presidency. And I'm excited as a result of everything that happened yesterday during the inauguration and the new direction that our country is going in now - so I'm excited Let's go ahead and pray the call in

Bob. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Let's, let's talk about where we are in the Intel world.  First of all, I want to say something that I found out.

Oh, I don't know when was it? Maybe between the last call we had, which was last Thursday, and then five nights later we've got the Tuesday night call. Well, in the last what I'm going to call it, three or four days, I heard something that really blew my mind.

And that was you guys, know, I've been talking about, this could go at any moment. This can go under Biden. This can go before President Trump gets back into the Oval Office. This can Well, you know what? I was misinformed, and I misinformed you guys.

 This could not go before President Trump made his way back into the Oval Office, and the information we were getting might have been coded, and we took the code wrong, or whatever happened.

But I have a MEA CULPA??, but my fault, my bad. I just wanted to tell you guys, I'm sorry that I misinformed you about that Intel. Because one side of me was saying, I don't know, I don't know if it's going to go before Trump's back. I don't know.

And the other was saying, Well, I'm being told again, I'm being told it can go out. You know, we can get this thing started? Well, evidently, the truth was, it couldn't go until after President Trump is back in.

The good news is he is back in as of yesterday, the 20th of January, probably would have saved us all a little bit of headache and a little bit of worry and a little bit of whatever.

But now that we've crossed that threshold that President Trump is back and just killing it on executive orders and policies and getting back hostages and everything, finishing the wall. You know, guys, I don't know I, I don't know about you, but I just, I just have to put the last four years in our rear view mirror. Yes, we did some good things.  And I have good news.

And the good news is that we are moving forward. Listen, we had heard that we would start today, Tuesday, with our notifications and set appointments to start tomorrow.

And then we were told later on this afternoon, like two or three of our better sources that, nope, it wasn't going to be today, but it is going to be tomorrow. Well, fortunately, we asked, Why didn't it go yesterday? Or, excuse me, why didn't it go today Tuesday?

And it ends up that there were three factors. One was to get the proper green light from the US Treasury, and that is the new Restored Republic Treasury

That number two, we needed Iraq to do something, which we think is publish their new rate, Wednesday, tomorrow morning, in their Gazette, their official publication could be a new rate or the published in the Gazette.

That's my gut on it, because we don't know it absolutely and three, Iran, oh, my God. What about it? Well, President Trump had a meeting with two of his generals discuss the problem in Iran, and had to do with the funding of solve that problem on the phones with Iran at 1:30 today.

So are all three of those things out of the way? I think they will be once Iraq does what they are going to do, and that will sensibly be tomorrow morning by putting the new rate in the Gazette. Let's hope that all three of those things are no longer issues that we have to deal with.

We are moving forward now. Here's the remember, I had a timeline, which I like a timeline? I like to see things in a linear fashion that are happening like that.

One aspect that was we have to pay off the fines and penalties  -- adjudicated settlements -  like  CMKX and any others that are there  and intermediaries, which are Farm Claims -  Native American claims, those were already paid, but not sure if everything's complete on that.

Any other intermediaries that would be considered like, that's like first, and that should happen overnight, tonight or tomorrow morning, overnight tonight or in the morning, and then at nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow, that's Eastern Time, we should have the admirals groups funded either into their individual bank accounts, which could happen in some cases, or most likely, into their quantum account that they Need to activate with their quantum card, just like we have to activate our quantum account after our exchange so that. And then, when will they get notified?

Do they get notified right nine in the morning, or do they notifications to confirm what has happened for them throughout the day tomorrow? And then when are we supposed to be notified? Well, we're supposed to be notified at noon, and it's noon in each time around noon.

Don't hold me to 12 noon exact, but it could be exact. Could be a little before, a little bit after it's going to be around noon, because one of the one of the pieces came to us talking about when we're ready to pop our champagne corks at lunch tomorrow. So that's signifying lunchtime or noon.

We should be getting our notifications on tier 4b or the Internet Group. Now my theory has been for a couple of years, at least. It would make sense if it was noon in every time zone. Noon, Eastern, noon central, noon, mountain and noon pacific and even noon Alaska, noon Hawaii.

As we go through from east to west, and it appears that that was correct, that that would be the case. So in a way, it's a staggered start from tier 4b with us getting notified essentially an hour apart, based on the time zone that we're in, eastern central mountain or Pacific.

So that's what was brought out to me today with clarification. And I just think we're looking very good to get started with this. I You know guys, I hope they have solved whatever the and I know that they have whatever the problem was with with Iran.

 I know that Iraq has already and not ready, ready and not ready, and they should be ready. We know their lower denominations are out, not only in the ATMs, but also in the airport kiosk and also in businesses throughout the country. And so how much more ready to have to be?

Do they have an international rate?

Yes, and we've known this, and it seems like they were going to get new international rate on Sunday this past Sunday, but I haven't been able to confirm it, and our contacts in Iraq don't want to put that in writing. They don't want to send it to us in a text or an email.

So we don't we don't really know exactly where it is now we know that our rate at the redemption center for the dinar is they plan to offer us the contract rate, which is tied to the per barrel price of oil and use North Sea Brent crude, if you want to check that, that seems to be about The price that Iraq is selling oil for and we know that we have a rate on Dong That is very good, and we know that the Zim is on par with the US dollar.

Now, one other thing that is interesting for us is when it comes to the direction, was I going?

Well, we're looking to get notified tomorrow, and with any success, we set our appointments tomorrow that could start in some jurisdictions as early as Wednesday afternoon - some markets with us, with different demographics may start on Thursday.

So Wednesdays,  setting appointments Thursday exchanges start. Except in some markets, they might start on Wednesday, but there's a high concentration of currency holders , like in parts of Florida, in other parts of the country, Texas, maybe, you know, they may start a little earlier.

They might start tomorrow, afternoon, evening, provided the numbers do come out around noon, central time for Texas, Eastern Time, of course, for Florida. So we're excited to see all that occur and see that begin.

As far as we know, and that's always a caveat, as far as we know, there is nothing else to hold us up from going.  Really, we should get, we should get some disclosure of events in the month of February and March, and we should have those of us who are currency holders that are going in for currency exchanges and redemption of the Zim currency, slash bond, as they do Consider it a bond because of its intrinsic value.

So we will get recently complete that thought. So we're going to be doing that at the redemption centers and realize this, but the Zim is not something that's going to be handled at the banks. You need to set an appointment to go into the redemption center to redeem your Zim

Also, there's no contract rate for the dinar, as we're being told at banks, but only at redemption centers. So it's really a good idea to set the appointment and go in your appointment done in 40 minutes or less.

And if you're a Zim holder and you've got some you've got projects, you want to let them know in probably more like three to five minutes. We used to say five to eight minutes. Probably you have about three to five minutes to explain the overview check.

 And that's eally great. It's going to go quickly. I think the appointment go just, boom, boom, boom. It's going to go pretty quickly. There's a lot to get done. You know, with the setting up of your initial account and your account, you've got a Wells Fargo account and a quantum account.

You know you'll be signing the NDA early in the oil and it's probably right at the beginning, when you're when they're going through the Know Your Customer, see who you are. They know who you are already.

 So even the identification of who you are with your ID, with your utility bill, it's going to go very quickly. They're not, they don't they don't want receipts, bona fide currency. You're fine. That delarue machine  is going to take off running, and it's going to count  and verify currency quickly - Multiple currencies.

Just help them out. If you've got several, four or five different currencies, make sure you have each one in a separate little, little envelope, or saying where, you know where they obviously do Dong, and then do dinar, and then do Zim they probably will want zim first, but whatever, and then rupiah - Afghani.

And don't forget your Venezuelan Boulivar, if you have that and so on, they'll just go right through them and keep a tab on it. And what I was going to say is your r, and r, if you're a currency holder, it could very well already be in your quantum account.

 So the idea of getting a direct deposit into your Social Security bank account, not your social security, but in your bank account where you get your Social Security, if you're 62 and older and already, okay, here's, here's the thing.

We found out that the servers that handle social security are limited in that they can't deal with anything over $500,000 - okay, so the point is, they're not capable of hailing the amounts as a direct deposit to our accounts because of the server limitation. So we should see our lump sum r and r lump sum coming to us at the redemption center.

Now, what they do with other folks that aren't on Social Security, that are 60 and older? I'm not quite sure. And you know, there are three tiers of groups.

The first tier, let's call it called Group A, are people that are 30 to 45 years of age. They'll get their R and R restitution reconciliation allowance is another word I said their R and R over three years. So three times 12 is 36 -- 36 monthly installments. Let's call it to them, and that should start in the month of February.

Okay, people of that age group, 30 to 45, to 60, that there's a group that will get theirs over two years. 2024 12 times two is 2424 moments, they will also begin to receive there in the month of February.

 So we're the ones in the group say. We say anybody that's 60 and older that is exchanging currency should have it in there, in their  quantum account and then your quantum card to move those funds from your quantum account into your wells, Fargo primary account, and then eventually, when you get account set up, if you need to, you'll have secondary accounts under the primary and both of those primary and secondary Wells Accounts will earn interest at a rate of at least 12% which is phenomenal.

And I'm going to ask that mine would be paid out as well percent as APY and that's received that I'm going to take it quarterly. I think it's probably payable monthly, but I'd rather take it as a lump sum every quarter and see that in my account that way.

So it would obviously take 90 days for that interest to be accrued and for it to be applied and put into that account without going to do it. We'll see, obviously work with that.

So that's really the gist of what I had to say tonight. I don't know that there's anything else that we need to know right now but to get the toll free numbers, which is tomorrow at noon, ish, noon ish, tomorrow, and then we should be able to call set our appointments in exchange on Thursday, with some exceptions that might be going In high demographic care services tomorrow, afternoon or evening.

When we get that and we'll also start any podcasts that I do, that does that, we can forward to you, and then you click on them and just listen to them, you know, at your own choice, but we're going to communicate with you after these numbers come out. If conceivable Thursday, we would do a celebration call tomorrow and start exchanges on Thursday. I believe we will probably still do a short celebration call Thursday night at the regular time.

So stay tuned for that possibility. All right, so let's pray the call out, and we'll look forward to giving everything that we're looking for tomorrow. Let's do that.

 Thank you big call universe for tuning in and listening over the past 13 years. Everybody have a beautiful night's sleep tonight. Let's see what occurs.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 1-22-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

COINBASE SEEKS COURT RULING TO CLARIFY CRYPTO TRADES AND CHALLENGE SEC’S AUTHORITY: BLOOMBERG

As per a latest Bloomberg report, Coinbase Inc. asked the Second Circuit to say that digital token trades on its platform aren’t transactions governed under federal securities law.

“There is no more pressing issue in securities law today than the scope of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s authority to regulate secondary trades of digital assets,” Coinbase said in its petition docketed in the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The appeals court could “clear away the cloud that currently hangs over the cryptocurrency market,” it noted.

Second Circuit Ruling Could Accelerate Resolution

Notably, A decision by the Second Circuit stating that token trades aren’t securities transactions could speed up the end of the SEC’s case against Coinbase and ease US crypto regulations. The Trump administration has indicated that it will provide crypto companies with greater regulatory flexibility.

The case gives the appeals court a chance to weigh how it should apply the “Howey test” to crypto transactions. 

Coinbase argued in its brief that trades on its platform are not investment contracts, but asset sales. The US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted Coinbase’s request to seek an immediate appeal earlier this month in an SEC enforcement suit.

The US Chamber of Commerce and Blockchain Association have filed briefs supporting the Second Circuit’s review of the Coinbase case. 

They highlighted that the lack of clarity on whether crypto trades are investment contracts could have negative effects, as federal courts remain divided on the issue.

The Need For Legal Clarity

The SEC sued Coinbase in 2023, accusing the platform of operating as an unregistered securities exchange. Coinbase argues that its crypto trades aren’t investment contracts and thus not under SEC jurisdiction.

Coinbase’s chief legal officer emphasized the need for legal clarity on this issue. Meanwhile, Trump’s SEC has created a “crypto task force” to develop a clear regulatory framework, and the US Court of Appeals has ordered the SEC to explain its refusal to provide crypto-specific rules.

REPUBLICANS SEEK TO OVERTURN IRS CRYPTO BROKER RULE

Corresponding resolutions were introduced to “roll back the disastrous” rule requiring custodial brokers to report transactions

Congressional Republicans are working to reverse new IRS guidelines that require so-called “custodial brokers” to report transactions.

Rep. Mike Carey and Sen. Ted Cruz this week introduced corresponding resolutions seeking to “roll back the disastrous IRS broker rule.”

The legislation comes weeks after a group of crypto lobbying firms sued the IRS over the rule. They claim the requirement “exceeds the agencies’ statutory authority, violates the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) and is unconstitutional.”

As it currently stands, starting in 2025, custodial brokers are required to report gross proceeds. In 2026, they will have to report cost basis for certain transactions
.
The final version of the 1099-DA form was published at the end of last year. While earlier drafts had included a section where brokers had to identify their “type” of business, the final form nixed this box. It’s a small change, but by cutting this section the IRS more or less punted the issue of DeFi actors.

Even so, those opposed to the rule claim that the rule still imposes unfair reporting obligations on intermediaries and other actors in the crypto space.

The resolutions have some co-sponsors (Sens. Cynthia Lummis and Tim Sheehy, to name a few), but neither have been scheduled for a markup or vote just yet. This is a hot-button issue in the crypto space though, so we’d expect companies to be directing a significant amount of their lobbying efforts here.

COINBASE CEO: EXCHANGE WILL DELIST USDT IF AUTHORITIES DEMAND IT

Coinbase CEO recently stated that his exchange would delist Tether’s USDT if authorities demand it or if Tether fails to comply with new US laws.

New Stablecoin Regulations on Horizon

Coinbase Global CEO Brian Armstrong has said his cryptocurrency exchange would have no choice but to delist the stablecoin issued by Tether, known as USDT, should authorities demand it.

Armstrong, who has lobbied the U.S. to create a cryptocurrency framework, added that Coinbase would take similar action if Tether fails to comply with any new U.S. laws.

However, according to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, the CEO acknowledges that many of Coinbase’s users hold the stablecoin, and the company’s desire is to preserve this status quo.

Armstrong’s remarks about the possibility of Coinbase completely delisting USDT from its platforms come a month after the crypto exchange delisted the stablecoin on its platform used by Eurozone residents.

As reported by Bitcoin.com News, months before the delisting, Coinbase, which is a shareholder in another stablecoin issuer Circle, framed the move as part of its efforts to adhere to new rules requiring issuers to obtain an e-money license from a European Union member state.

The new rules also obligate stablecoin issuers to hold a portion of their reserves in cash at banks, something Tether reportedly opposes.

“There are a lot of people with tether, and we want to give them an off-ramp, if we want to help them transition to a system that we think is more secure,” Armstrong said.

With the U.S. set to shift its stance under Donald Trump, some believe that two stablecoin bills seeking to require stablecoin issuers to hold U.S. Treasury bonds will be passed. If enacted, such a law would compel Tether and other stablecoin issuers to liquidate non-U.S. Treasury assets.

Late last year, Tether, which posted a net profit of $2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2024, claimed to hold over $105 billion in cash and cash equivalents, with a notable $102.5 billion in direct and indirect exposure to U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the stablecoin issuer disclosed that it held assets, including precious metals and secured loans, with a face value of just over $20 billion.

While the enactment of laws proposed by U.S. lawmakers would require Tether to convert these assets to U.S. Treasury bonds, the WSJ report acknowledged that neither bill has made significant progress.

Alasdair Macleod: We are Starting to See Advanced Institutional Demand for Gold

Alasdair Macleod: We are Starting to See Advanced Institutional Demand for Gold

Palisades Gold Radio:  1-22-2025

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod, Head of Research at GoldMoney to discuss his insights into the silver market and its relationship with gold prices.

He suggests that despite a seemingly undersupplied market, the price disparity between gold and silver does not reflect this reality. Macleod anticipates a significant shift in investor behavior once patience runs thin among those who have already bought into gold but yet to enter the silver market.

The role of foreign investors, particularly central banks, in driving gold prices is highlighted. Macleod also emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of the ongoing credit bubble on financial markets and encourages listeners to consider reducing their exposure to credit.

Alasdair expresses his views on Donald Trump's impact on gold prices, citing increased foreign demand due to Trump's status as an inflationist and his executive orders. However, concerns over tariffs and potential economic repercussions remain.

Macleod also touches upon historical examples of tariffs and interest rates and their relationship with an economy's purchasing power.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding this connection for investors during the upcoming credit bubble.

 Throughout the conversation, Alasdair highlights the importance of considering global economic trends and various factors influencing gold and silver prices. He also discusses the role of speculators versus central banks in driving these markets and the potential for a significant shift once investor sentiment changes.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 1-22-25

Expert: 70% Of Iraq's Remittances Are Controlled By Jordanian And Gulf Banks

Buratha News Agency992025-01-22  Economic expert Ahmed Abdel Rabbo confirmed today, Wednesday, that Jordanian and Gulf banks control more than 70% of financial transfers in Iraq, noting that the dollar is delivered to only four Jordanian and Gulf companies.

Abdul Rabbo said in a statement to / Al-Maalouma /, that "Jordanian banks did not provide any real services to Iraq," adding that "closing the dollar selling platform opened the way for Jordanian and foreign banks to take over the Iraqi financial market, which raised questions about the role of Iraqi financial institutions in this regard."

He pointed out that "Jordanian banks control more than 70% of financial transfers in Iraq," explaining that "this control constitutes a direct harm to Iraq's sovereignty and financial decisions, especially with the absence of any effective role for these banks in serving the Iraqi economy."

He called for "reviewing financial policies and strengthening the local role to ensure the stability of the country's financial sector."

Reports indicate that 8 Jordanian and Gulf banks control money transfer operations in Iraq, which led to these banks controlling the flow of dollars into the country. This control forced the exclusion of more than 1,000 Iraqi banks and offices, raising concerns about negative effects on the local economy and financial sovereignty.  https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/455449

Exchange Rates Fall Against The Dinar In Baghdad And Erbil With The Closing

01/22/2025  Mawazine News – Economy  The US dollar exchange rate fell against the Iraqi dinar on Wednesday in the markets of Baghdad and Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, with the closing of the stock exchange.

The dollar exchange rate also fell with the closing of the two main stock exchanges in Baghdad, Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya, to record 150.850 dinars per 100 dollars, while the dollar exchange rate this morning recorded 151.000 dinars per 100 dollars.

The selling prices in exchange shops in the local markets in Baghdad stabilized, where the selling price reached 152.000 dinars per 100 dollars, while the purchase price reached 150.000 dinars per 100 dollars.

In Erbil, the dollar also fell, where the selling price reached 150.700 dinars per 100 dollars, and the purchase price reached 150.600 dinars per 100 dollars  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=258898

Gold Soars To 11-Week High Amid Weak Dollar

01/22/2025   Mawazine News – Baghdad  Gold prices rose to an 11-week high in early Asian trading on Wednesday, supported by a weaker dollar and increased demand for safe havens due to uncertainty surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies.

Price Update Spot gold was up 0.1 percent at $2,748.58 per ounce by 0105 GMT, after hitting its highest since Nov. 5 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures were up 0.1 percent at $2,763.40, according to Reuters data. Trump declined to impose tariffs on his first day in office, pushing the dollar lower. A weaker dollar makes gold more attractive to foreign buyers. Gold is considered a safe-haven investment during economic and geopolitical uncertainty.https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=258872
