Judy Note: “The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is an un-hackable, AI-driven network (allegedly) supported by the Secret Space Program which was in the process of replacing the old Swift Banking System.

“Very soon the QFS’s Global Currency Reset (GCR) will align all national currencies at a one-to-one exchange rate – with only gold or asset-backed currencies recognized and a value based on the nation’s assets, economy and population.

“For some time the QFS has been monitoring all banking transactions and gathering evidence of the Elites manipulation of the Swift system as they moved stolen wealth across the Globe. They never realized that the QFS was already tracking their actions in real time. The Alliance has used this data to expose financial crisis, leading to manipulations and the dismantling of central banking institutions.

“Our Global Financial System has been living on air. The Cabal’s financial arm Blackrock, the World’s largest holder of real estate, (allegedly) collapsed last week, with their assets across the World to soon follow, while their fiat US Federal Dollar has been worth nothing since it’s bankruptcy in 2008.

“Reportedly nine major nations, including the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe were insolvent and facing a collapse,” JFK Jr. announced on Thurs. 13 March 2025. “For years, these governments have recklessly printed money, racking up debt without a clear path to repayment.

“The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Disclosure will soon report a global stock market crash. The financial freeze could last between two to ten days where trillions of dollars vanished overnight, while Crypto-currencies, Bit-coin and major wallets took massive hits.

“Tier 4b (Us, the Internet Group who have bought foreign currencies and Zim Bonds) notification to exchange currencies and redeem bonds may soon act, (allegedly)  followed by an end to the IRS and all tax systems.”  …JFK Jr. on Telegram

Global Currency Reset:

Thurs. 13 March 2025 Bruce:

British Admiralty Law and US Inc. were (allegedly) gone in the US, while Common Law is coming in over the weekend – that is part of Nesara.

The USTN (allegedly) replacing the fiat dollar is in the banks and Redemption Centers. We can get it when we go in for exchanges.

Gold backed Crypto Reserve is(allegedly)  backing up our new US Note.

Under Nesara income tax (allegedly) goes away and will be replaced by a 15% consumption tax.

DOGE checks (allegedly) went out on Sun. night and Mon. morning. Some have received checks for $7,000 to $8,000. It is not known if they were DOGE checks or retirement checks. SS increases have not yet happened, but should by the end of the month.

Redemption Centers have higher rates on the Dinar (allegedly) and is the only place you can redeem Zim. There are (allegedly) benefits you get at the Redemption Center that you can’t get at a bank.

You (allegedly) get a Quantum Account at a Redemption Center.

Bond Holders get notified that they have funds in their account and when they have access to that money. As of yesterday at 4 pm Bond Holders were flying into Reno and Miami to get their accounts. They were funding Bond Holders Tues. through Saturday of this week.

Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) should get notified Friday 14 March or Saturday 15 March after the banks or markets close.

Redemption Centers will (allegedly) be doing exchanges beginning Sat. 15 March.

Redemption Centers will be exchanging for 14 days (some areas longer depending on the population).

Stock Market Cratering; Is This The "Big One"? | Gregory Mannarino

Liberty and Finance:  3-13-2025

Gregory Mannarino discusses the recent volatility in the stock market, emphasizing that the S&P 500 has entered a correction phase.

While he acknowledges the market’s sharp downturn, he suggests that this isn't the "big one" yet, as the true crisis will stem from a collapse in the debt market.

 Mannarino points out that the instability in the bond market is sending troubling signals, with rising yields and a weakening U.S. dollar.

 He stresses that the stock market, although experiencing significant sell-offs, is not yet facing the catastrophic meltdown that could follow a debt market crash.

Ultimately, Mannarino suggests caution, urging people to monitor the debt and dollar movements closely as key indicators of deeper financial distress.

Grow Money Like the Rockefeller Family

Grow Money Like the Rockefeller Family– 5 Ways They Created Generational Wealth

Caitlyn Moorhead  Thu, March 13, 2025   GOBankingRates

There is no way around the Rockefeller name being associated with money, as it’s synonymous with immense wealth and the realization of the American Dream. The family’s fortune, established by America’s first billionaire John D. Rockefeller Sr., the founder of the Standard Oil Company in the late 19th century, has endured for generations, making the Rockefellers one of the wealthiest families in history.

In large part, this massive amount of money was thanks to the following factors:

Grow Money Like the Rockefeller Family– 5 Ways They Created Generational Wealth

Caitlyn Moorhead  Thu, March 13, 2025   GOBankingRates

There is no way around the Rockefeller name being associated with money, as it’s synonymous with immense wealth and the realization of the American Dream. The family’s fortune, established by America’s first billionaire John D. Rockefeller Sr., the founder of the Standard Oil Company in the late 19th century, has endured for generations, making the Rockefellers one of the wealthiest families in history.

In large part, this massive amount of money was thanks to the following factors:

 

  • At one point, the company-controlled 90% of U.S. refineries and pipelines, which led Rockefeller to become the richest man in the world and one of the first billionaires.

  • The family fortune was valued at over $600 billion in today’s dollars. Today, that translates to one of America’s richest families having a net worth of $10.3 billion.

  • The Standard Oil Company would later evolve into the ExxonMobil and Chevron corporations that everyone knows today.

  • The Rockefellers also developed one of the first major business trusts, which controlled Chase Manhattan Bank, now known as Chase Bank.

  • The Rockefeller Foundation went on to establish themselves as industrialists and philanthropists throughout U.S. history, and have given away an estimated $1 billion to varying charitable causes.

Over a century later, the Rockefeller generational wealth still establishes them as one of the richest families in the world. Valued at $10.3 billion among 70 heirs and family members, the fact that the Rockefellers have continued to keep the wealth in the family for decades is proof of their knowledge in investing in generational wealth building. Here are five ways the Rockefellers built and sustained their generational wealth.

Diversified Investments

To further grow the Rockefeller wealth, they safeguarded their real estate and bond investments which supplied both physical assets that grew in value over time and consistent income. A well-diversified and balanced portfolio helped offset riskier ventures and protected their fortune.

The Rockefellers recognized the importance of diversification in wealth preservation. While the initial fortune was built on oil, the family expanded their investments into various sectors over the years and have stakes in real estate, industry and even venture capital, thus ensuring a consistent growth and safeguarding of their wealth against market volatility.

Rockefeller Center alone was purchased out by Jerry Sperry for a whopping $1.8 billion. With Exxon mobiles and Chevron stations still being built today, the family has consumed and purchased many companies over time such as General Mills, Kellogg, Nestle, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Procter and Gamble to name only a few.

Though most of us don’t have billions lying around to purchase a company like Nestle, it is great advice to diversify one’s money into companies, through our own research, to bank on being successful.

Philanthropy and Reputation Management

Philanthropy has been a significant aspect of the Rockefeller family’s legacy, and each generation has taken up the torch. In fact, he and his son John D Rockefeller Jr. dedicated themselves to philanthropy, giving away more than $1 billion and establishing the University of Chicago.

The establishment of numerous charitable foundations has not only contributed positively to global society but also helped in maintaining and enhancing the family’s reputation. Their philanthropic efforts have facilitated network building and influence expansion, inadvertently aiding in wealth preservation and growth.

Simply put, the more you give, the more you make.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

TRUMP FAMILY ALLEGEDLY IN TALKS TO ACQUIRE BINANCE US STAKE AS CZ ‘SEEKS’ PARDON – REPORT

A recent report alleges that the Trump Family has been in talks to take a stake in crypto exchange Binance’s US arm, which could facilitate the company’s return to the country. Simultaneously, the exchange’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” has allegedly been “pushing” for a pardon from the Trump administration

TRUMP FAMILY ALLEGEDLY IN TALKS TO ACQUIRE BINANCE US STAKE AS CZ ‘SEEKS’ PARDON – REPORT

A recent report alleges that the Trump Family has been in talks to take a stake in crypto exchange Binance’s US arm, which could facilitate the company’s return to the country. Simultaneously, the exchange’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” has allegedly been “pushing” for a pardon from the Trump administration
.

Trump Family In ‘Deal Talks’ For Binance US Stake?

On ThursdayThe Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that representatives of US President Donald Trump’s family have held talks to acquire a financial stake in Binance US since 2024According to people familiar with the matter, the talks allegedly began as part of the global exchange’s plan to return to the US.

Binance reportedly contacted Trump’s camp, offering a business deal with the Presidential Family. The company “began exploring a return to the U.S. market last year around the time of Trump’s election win” and “told people it was willing to make a deal with Trump’s company and wanted to eliminate its legal problems,” the report states.

However, it was unclear how the Trump family stake would come together if they struck a deal. The WSJ sources said the options included the deal going through the Trump family crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLF).

Moreover, Steve Witkoff, the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, was seemingly involved in the deal talks. Witkoff is a co-founder of WLF, but a Trump administration official denied any involvement, adding that he is “in the process of divesting from his business interests.

The report claims that “After Trump won, Binance set up a working group under CEO Richard Teng, which included senior legal and compliance staff, to assess options. Executives knew that Zhao’s conviction complicated any return, as it would be difficult to sign up new commercial partners in the U.S. with a felon as a majority shareholder.”

As a result, the company executive “saw a potential legal playbook in the saga of Justin Sun,” who recently had the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pause its lawsuit against him. This route consisted of “a cash infusion into World Liberty Financial in exchange for a pardon for Zhao,” the sources told the news media outlet.

CZ Denies Claims Of “Pushing” For A Pardon

The report also stated that Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s co-founder and largest stakeholder, has been “pushing for the Trump administration to grant him a pardon” amid the deal talks, which allegedly continued after the US President’s inauguration.

The news caused outrage among several crypto investors, who considered the potential financial deal for a pardon “the cherry on top” of the recent TRUMP and MELANIA memecoin controversies.

CZ responded to the reportdenying the allegations. In an X post, he stated, “The WSJ article got the facts wrong.” He explained that over 20 people informed him they had been asked to confirm the “deal for a pardon” by the WSJ and other media outlets.

According to the Binance founder, he has not discussed a Binance US deal with anyone but noted, “No felon would mind a pardon, especially being the only one in US history who was ever sentenced to prison for a single BSA charge.

To him“they tried hard to make a story to report,” while the article feels like “an attack on the President and crypto, and the residual forces of the ‘war on crypto’ from the last administration are still at work.”

Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported on Thursday that WLF “has discussed doing business with the world’s largest digital-asset exchange, Binance Holdings Ltd., according to four people with knowledge of the talks.

The article stated that it is unclear what stage these discussions reached but included the possibility of the crypto exchange developing a US-backed stablecoin with the Trump Family’s crypto venture.

BRAZIL TO PUSH CRYPTOCURRENCY AS A PRIORITY FOR INTERNATIONAL BRICS TRADE

Brazil will push crypto initiatives, including a blockchain payment system, to expedite international trading as part of its presidency at BRICS this year. Local media stated this would be a priority for the South American giant’s plans for the organization.

Brazil to Push Hard for Crypto Implementation in BRICS Trade


The agenda of Brazil as president 
of the BRICS bloc will feature an unlikely topic: crypto
Brazilian authorities are preparing to introduce proposals for the organization to consider cryptocurrency as a solution for international settlements both inside and outside the bloc.

Local journal “O Globo” noted that this topic would be a priority as Brazil is now the President of BRICS, taking the mantle from RussiaThe proposal would support the need to expedite financial transactions among group members, and reduce the dependence on foreign currencies like the U.S. dollar.

While the idea of a BRICS common currency was floated before, with economists like Jim Rickards predicting it would leverage gold to undermine the dollar, this has not been suggested. Instead, BRICS is focusing on designing an efficient payment system to make use of digital national currencies or even stablecoins, which are already being used in international settlements, though informally.

President Donald Trump opposed the BRICS currency ideaproposing a 100% tariff regime if the organization abandoned the U.S. dollar for a new currency, defending the dollar’s role as the world’s trading coin.

Brazil could also present a system like Pixthat uses different networks and systems based on fiat currencies. Nonetheless, this might raise worries about the sovereignty and independence of the system, as fiat currencies might be subject to different regulatory standards.

Russian officials have confirmed that BRICS is indeed taking this as a priorityhosting talks to determine the best course of action in this regardLast monthRussian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva had taken the initiative in this field, examining the creation of a so-called transborder payment initiative, the creation of a reinsurance company, and the BRICS Clear settlement and depositary infrastructure.

8 Key Signs of a Quiet Millionaire

8 Key Signs of a Quiet Millionaire, According to Rachel Cruze

Ashley Donohoe  Thu, March 13, 2025  GOBankingRates

When you think about millionaires, you might picture people who visibly show off their expensive things or who got rich by receiving an inheritance or making one lucky investment.

However, the National Study of Millionaires by Ramsey Solutions showed that millionaires more often built their wealth by more ordinary means, like stashing funds in a 401(k), and many didn’t even earn extremely high salaries. It can even be hard to tell who is rich sometimes.

recent YouTube video from financial expert Rachel Cruze looked at eight common signs that can help you identify “quiet” millionaires.

recent YouTube video from financial expert Rachel Cruze looked at eight common signs that can help you identify “quiet” millionaires.

Not Living Paycheck to Paycheck

recent Pymnts Intelligence report found that 65% of respondents relied on their next paycheck. That number also included some Americans who lived paycheck to paycheck but didn’t necessarily struggle to pay their bills.

Quiet millionaires don’t share this problem. Cruze explained that such people thrive because they have a bigger margin thanks to budgeting and not spending excessively.

Not Worrying About Upcoming Expenses

Unlike those living paycheck to paycheck, quiet millionaires are less worried about becoming financially damaged if they face a big expense. They’ve already saved up the money.

“Having an emergency fund for upcoming expenses for the unexpected is key, but then also planning for upcoming expenses ahead of time, being proactive,” Cruze explained.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING XRP NEWS: SEC REVEALS SWIFT REPLACEMENT WITH XRP!

Big news is shaking up the financial world! The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) just dropped a bombshell by publishing a document that suggests the potential replacement of the SWIFT system with XRP. This could be a game-changer for international money transfers and the entire banking system. Let’s dive into what this means and why it matters.

Understanding the SWIFT System

First off, let’s discuss what SWIFT is. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has been the backbone of international banking for decades.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING XRP NEWS: SEC REVEALS SWIFT REPLACEMENT WITH XRP!

Big news is shaking up the financial world! The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) just dropped a bombshell by publishing a document that suggests the potential replacement of the SWIFT system with XRP. This could be a game-changer for international money transfers and the entire banking system. Let’s dive into what this means and why it matters.

Understanding the SWIFT System

First off, let’s discuss what SWIFT is. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has been the backbone of international banking for decades.

It allows banks and financial institutions to send and receive information about financial transactions in a secure and standardized way. However, with the rise of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, there have been increasing calls for a more efficient system.

What is XRP?

XRP is a digital currency created by Ripple Labs, designed specifically for fast and low-cost international transactions. Unlike Bitcoin, which can take several minutes to confirm a transaction, XRP transactions are settled in just a few seconds. This speed and efficiency make it a strong contender for replacing traditional systems like SWIFT.

Why the SEC’s Document is Significant


The SEC’s recent publication is significant for multiple reasons. First, it indicates a shift in perception within regulatory bodies about the use of cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance. By mentioning XRP as a potential replacement for SWIFT, the SEC is acknowledging the growing influence of digital currencies and their capacity to transform the financial landscape.

Potential Benefits of Replacing SWIFT with XRP

Imagine conducting cross-border transactions without the delays and high fees associated with traditional banking systems. Replacing SWIFT with XRP could lead to:

Faster Transactions: As mentioned earlier, XRP processes transactions in seconds, which is a massive improvement over SWIFT’s typical processing times.
Lower Costs: Transaction fees for using XRP are significantly lower than those associated with SWIFT, which could save banks and consumers money.

Increased Accessibility: With XRP, individuals and businesses without access to traditional banking systems may find it easier to engage in international trade.

Challenges Ahead

While the prospects of replacing SWIFT with XRP are exciting, there are challenges to consider. Regulatory hurdles remain a significant concern. The SEC and other regulatory bodies will need to establish clear guidelines for how cryptocurrencies can be used in traditional finance.

Additionally, banks and financial institutions would need to invest in new technology to support XRP transactions, which could be a barrier to adoption.

The Future of International Transactions
As we look to the future, the idea of integrating XRP into the global financial system is becoming more viable. The SEC’s document is a pivotal step toward legitimizing the use of cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance. If XRP can effectively replace SWIFT, it could lead to a more efficient, transparent, and equitable global financial system.

Community Reactions


The community’s reaction to this news has been overwhelmingly positive. Many XRP enthusiasts are expressing their excitement on social media platforms, envisioning a future where XRP is widely accepted for international transactions. As JackTheRippler tweeted, the implications of this announcement could be massive for holders of XRP and for the crypto market as a whole.

Conclusion: What’s Next?

So, what’s next? The world will be closely watching how the SEC navigates this groundbreaking moment in financial history. Will other countries follow suit? What will be the response from traditional banks? The possibilities are endless, and it’s clear that the landscape of international finance is evolving rapidly.

In the meantime, it’s essential for investors and consumers to stay informed. The potential shift from SWIFT to XRP could redefine not just how we think about money, but also how we interact with the global economy. As always, do your research and stay updated on the developments surrounding XRP and the SEC’s ongoing activities.

US LAW ENFORCEMENT CONFISCATES 749 BITCOIN TIED TO DECADE-OLD SILK ROAD CRIMES

U.S. authorities seized approximately 749 Bitcoin, valued at $62.5 million, tied to a Silk Road drug trafficking and money laundering operations, according to a March 12, 2025, Forbes report.

Silk Road Legacy Continues: $62.5M Bitcoin Seized in Latest Crackdown

The seizure, ordered by the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas, targeted assets connected to two unnamed individualsa former Silk Road drug vendor and an accomplice who laundered proceeds through cryptocurrency exchanges. Alongside bitcoinForbes reported that authorities confiscated hundreds of thousands in foreign currencies, gold coins, and bars.

The illicit funds were traced to transactions on Silk Road, a dark web marketplace shuttered in 2013 after its founder was arrested.

Despite its closure, law enforcement has continued recovering digital assets tied to the platform. The recent operation marks the latest in a series of seizures, including a record multi-billion-dollar bitcoin confiscation in 2021.

Investigators uncovered the operation after the suspects moved bitcoin from Silk Road through multiple accounts and converted it to cash via the now defunct peer-to-peer platform Localbitcoins.

Suspicious deposits flagged by Gemini, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange, alerted authorities, enabling the seizure through a civil forfeiture action.

The case shows law enforcement’s advancing ability to trace cryptocurrency transactions, even years after crimes occur. The report stressed that blockchain analysis, combined with cooperation from exchanges implementing anti-money laundering protocols, played a critical role. Gemini’s involvement highlights exchanges’ evolving role in combating financial crimes.

Silk Road, once a hub for anonymous drug sales using bitcoin, generated an estimated 9.5 million bitcoin in sales before its shutdown.

While its founder Ross Ulbricht has been fully pardoned, the Forbes report said that authorities remain committed to pursuing residual assets.

This seizure aligns with broader efforts to deter dark web activity by demonstrating that crypto gains are not beyond reach.

The $62.5 million recovery adds to over $4 billion in Silk Road-linked assets seized since 2013. Proceeds from such actions often fund victim compensation or law enforcement initiatives. Experts note the operation reinforces the dual realities of cryptocurrency: its potential for anonymity and its vulnerability to forensic scrutiny.

No criminal charges have been filed against the individuals involved, suggesting the investigation remains activeThe U.S. Department of Justice has yet to comment on potential further actions.

The #1 Asset for Market Crashes—Do You Own It?

The #1 Asset for Market Crashes—Do You Own It?

Gold has long been considered one of the best hedges against economic downturns due to its unique properties and historical performance.

Here’s a detailed explanation, backed by numbers and facts, of why gold is a reliable safe-haven asset:

Gold’s Performance During Economic Crises

2008 Financial Crisis: During the global financial crisis, gold prices surged as investors sought safety. From November 2007 to March 2009, the S&P 500 fell by approximately 56%, while gold prices rose by about 25%.

The #1 Asset for Market Crashes—Do You Own It?

Gold has long been considered one of the best hedges against economic downturns due to its unique properties and historical performance.

Here’s a detailed explanation, backed by numbers and facts, of why gold is a reliable safe-haven asset:

Gold’s Performance During Economic Crises

2008 Financial Crisis: During the global financial crisis, gold prices surged as investors sought safety. From November 2007 to March 2009, the S&P 500 fell by approximately 56%, while gold prices rose by about 25%.

COVID-19 Pandemic (2020): In the early stages of the pandemic, global markets experienced a sharp sell-off. Gold initially dropped due to a liquidity crunch but quickly rebounded. From March 2020 to August 2020, gold prices rose by over 35%, reaching an all-time high of $2,075 /oz in August 2020.

1970s Stagflation: During the stagflation period of the 1970s (high inflation and stagnant economic growth), gold prices skyrocketed. From 1971 to 1980, gold prices increased by over 2,300%, from $35/oz to apeakof850 /oz.

Gold as a Hedge Against Inflation

Gold is often seen as a store of value during periods of high inflation. Unlike fiat currencies, which can lose value due to excessive money printing, gold maintains its purchasing power over time.

Example: During the high inflation years of the 1970s, the U.S. dollar lost significant value, but gold prices surged. From 1971 to 1980, the U.S. inflation rate averaged 7.1% annually, while gold prices increased by an average of 30% per year.

2021-2023 Inflation Surge: In 2021-2022, global inflation spiked due to supply chain disruptions and post-pandemic recovery. Gold prices remained resilient, averaging $1,800−$2,000/oz, as investors turned to gold to protect against eroding purchasing power.

Gold’s Low Correlation with Other Assets

Gold has a low or negative correlation with stocks and bonds, making it an effective diversifier in a portfolio. During economic downturns, when equities and other risk assets typically decline, gold often performs well.

Gold vs. S&P 500: Historically, the correlation between gold and the S&P 500 has been close to zero or slightly negative.

Gold vs. U.S. Treasuries: Gold’s correlation with bonds is also low, making it a complementary asset in a diversified portfolio.

Gold’s Role in Currency Devaluation

Gold is priced in U.S. dollars, so when the dollar weakens, gold prices tend to rise. This makes gold a hedge against currency devaluation.

Example: From 2001 to 2011, the U.S. dollar index (DXY) fell by approximately 33%, while gold prices rose by over 600%, from around $250/oz to a peak of $1,920/oz in 2011.

Central Bank Demand for Gold

Central banks around the world hold gold as part of their reserves to diversify away from fiat currencies and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar. This institutional demand supports gold prices during economic uncertainty.

Fact: In 2022, central banks purchased 1,136 tons of gold, the highest level of annual demand since 1950. This trend continued into 2023, with central banks adding 228 tons of gold in Q1 alone.

Gold’s Long-Term Performance

Over the long term, gold has consistently preserved wealth and outperformed many other asset classes during periods of economic instability.

Fact: From 1971 (when the gold standard was abandoned) to 2023, gold prices have increased from $35/oz to over $1,900 /oz, representing an annualized return of approximately 7.8%.

Gold’s Liquidity and Universality

Gold is a highly liquid asset that can be easily bought or sold in global markets. It is universally recognized as a store of value, making it a reliable hedge in times of crisis.

Fact: The global gold market is one of the largest and most liquid markets, with an average daily trading volume of over $150 billion.

Gold’s Performance During Geopolitical Crises

Gold tends to perform well during geopolitical tensions or conflicts, as investors seek safety.

Example: During the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, gold prices surged to $2,070 /oz in March 2022 as investors fled to safe-haven assets.

Why Gold is a Top Hedge

Preserves Wealth: Gold maintains its value over time, especially during inflation and currency devaluation.

Performs Well in Crises: Gold has historically risen during economic downturns, stock market crashes, and geopolitical tensions.

Diversifies Portfolios: Its low correlation with other assets reduces overall portfolio risk.

Central Bank Support: Institutional demand for gold provides a strong floor for prices.

Liquidity and Universality: Gold is easy to trade and recognized globally as a store of value.

Key Numbers to Remember:

2008 Financial Crisis: Gold rose 25% while the S&P 500 fell 56%.

1970s Stagflation: Gold surged 2,300% from $35 to $850/oz.

2020 Pandemic: Gold hit an all-time high of $2,075 /oz.

Central Bank Demand: Over 1,100 tons of gold purchased in 2022, the highest since 1950.

Gold’s historical performance and unique characteristics make it one of the best hedges against economic downturns, inflation, and market volatility. Including gold in your portfolio can help protect your wealth during uncertain times.  LINK

Ariel : We are on the Cusp of a Revamp of Civilization

Watcher.Guru:  JUST IN: SEC preparing to end lawsuit against Ripple $XRP.

What did we all cover on this topic?

Do you know how your entire world is about to change forever once this happens?

We are on the cusp of a revamp of civilization as we know it. And you all are witnesses this 1st hand.

You have every right to be excited about this. We are moving away from the archaic banking predatory practices.

You will be dealing with a Peer-to-Peer financial traction that will eliminate the middle man.

And you can do this with a 24 hour financial system that takes no breaks or some drawn out process to transfer money while the banks play around with it.

This is amazing news for all of us. We should be seeing Iraq make their moves very soon. I think this is on schedule to happen tomorrow.

Glitch The Yorkie:  We are standing at the edge of an economic paradigm shift—one that decentralizes power, eliminates unnecessary friction, and hands financial sovereignty back to the people. The death grip of archaic banking systems is loosening, and what comes next is nothing short of revolutionary. A peer-to-peer, 24/7 financial ecosystem isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a full-scale liberation from institutional control. If Iraq moves forward as expected, this could be the catalyst that ignites a global financial transformation. Stay sharp—history is unfolding in real time.

Gold prices stabilize as markets await inflation data

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 | Economic  Number of reads: 169  Baghdad / NINA / Gold prices stabilized on Wednesday, ahead of important US inflation data that may help gauge the path of the Federal Reserve's interest rates amid trade tensions and fears of an economic slowdown.

Spot gold settled at $2,916.69 per ounce by dawn today, while US gold futures rose 0.1 percent to $2,922.30.

Investors are awaiting US consumer price index data due later today to analyze the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates next year.

If rising price pressures force the Fed to keep interest rates high, gold may lose its appeal as it is a non-yielding asset.

US President Donald Trump's tariffs are widely expected to fuel inflation and economic uncertainty, pushing gold to a record high of $2,956.15 on February 24.

Trump defended his tariff policies on Tuesday during a meeting with CEOs of major U.S. companies, including several whose market value has fallen in recent days as consumer and investor sentiment has deteriorated due to recession and inflation fears.

Spot silver fell 0.5 percent to $32.76 an ounce, platinum rose 0.4 percent to $978.60, and palladium fell 0.6 percent to $940.53. /End  https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1191365

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Afternoon 3-13-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE VOTES TO ADVANCE STABLECOIN BILL, COLLECTING SUPPORT FROM BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

▪️The bill would establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins and create standards for when stablecoin issuers would be regulated by the state or the federal government.

▪️Some Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have expressed unease toward the bill.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE VOTES TO ADVANCE STABLECOIN BILL, COLLECTING SUPPORT FROM BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

▪️The bill would establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins and create standards for when stablecoin issuers would be regulated by the state or the federal government.

▪️Some Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have expressed unease toward the bill.

The Senate Banking Committee voted to advance a monumental stablecoin bill, advancing it to the full Senate and gaining support from Democrats along the way.

Introduced in February by Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., the "GENIUS Act" (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins) aims to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins, defining when issuers fall under state or federal oversight. It has bipartisan support from Democratic Sens. Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

 .  Democrats Sens. Mark Warner and Andy Kim were among others to support the bill

"The GENIUS Act is a bipartisan step forward in ensuring stablecoins are safe and reliable tools in the financial system," said Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, R-S.C., at the beginning of Thursday's markup.

A handful of lawmakers in Washington have worked on a bill to regulate stablecoins for years, but those efforts, like other crypto-related bills to regulate the industry, have not come to fruition.

 Now, almost two months into Donald Trump's presidency, Congress is seemingly prioritizing crypto, including investigating claims of industry-wide debanking and repealing the controversial "DeFi Broker rule."

Work is also underway in the House to regulate stablecoins. Though the GENIUS Act is not a companion to the House's version, lawmakers say it shows an effort among Republicans to work on key issues.

The GENIUS Act has garnered support from some in the crypto industry, including the Blockchain Association which called the bill "a thoughtful step forward for commonsense, response guardrails for stablecoin innovation," in a post on X on Wednesday.

On the other side of the aisle, some Democrats have expressed unease toward the GENIUS ActSen. Elizabeth Warren's staff circulated a memo outlining their opposition to the bill, which they say "fails" to protect consumers, competition and national security, according to Politico. The memo also includes arguments that the bill would allow firms, such as big tech companies, to issue their own currencies, Fortune reported.

Warren offered several amendments on Thursday, including one involving firms being able to issue their own stablecoins. Big tech billionaires like Elon Musk could use their own currencies to compete with the U.S. dollar, Warren said.

"My most pressing concern is Elon Musk's attempt to build an empire that rivals the power of most nation states," Warren later added.

In the past, some Democrats have been critical of companies' previous plans to launch a stablecoin. Meta Platforms, formerly Facebook, looked to launch stablecoin Libra, later renamed Diem, a few years ago, but quickly prompted concern among regulators and lawmakers who were hesitant about a stablecoin with ties to the social media company.

The committee voted 13-11, therefore not agreeing to Warren's amendment.

Tensions flare

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto raised concerns over Democrats showing up to the markup and holding a quorum for the committee but not Republicans.

"We're taking the time to talk about our amendments, but there's no debate," the Nevada Democrat said. "And there's some very good amendments here by the way, and I'm hopeful that we have a good product coming out of here, but it is the Democrats now holding the quorum here instead of the Republicans."

Cortez Masto called the bill a "great startbut said it was not ready for prime time.

"There are many that want to provide a good product at the end of the day, but it looks like to me — the die is already cast, you get what you get," she said.


Sen. Warren called the markup a "show trial" and criticized the lack of debate. However, Warren also showed willingness to work on the bill and said it had a "strong base
."

"This feels like show trial here that we get up and we read our little part about each of the amendments and the Republicans, clearly a majority of the Republicans have already decided their vote without even hearing anyone make an argument for why this might be an amendment that would be appropriate for this bill," Warren said.

Sen. Bill Hagerty, one of the authors of the bill, countered and said the bill had gone through a "very robust bipartisan process."

"We're going to continue to work to improve this," he said. "I've already acknowledged my willingness to do that here today to the extent that there are additional technical corrections, or in many cases, valid issues are being raised that I think are far more appropriate for a market structure piece of legislation."

In the HouseRep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass.criticized the GENIUS Act on Tuesday during a hearing focused on stablecoins and said it needed to be amended "vigorously."

"I read the GENIUS Act over in the Senate — I'm a little weary about anything called genius coming out of the United States Senate — but there were so many problems with that and I'm hopeful, hopefully my colleagues, Mr. Hill, and others will amend that vigorously because it had huge, huge problems," Lynch said

TREASURY MET WITH THREE CRYPTO FIRMS TO DECIDE CUSTODY OF BITCOIN RESERVE

Firms including Anchorage Digital are advising the U.S. government on best practices for safeguarding billions of dollars worth of crypto assets.

The U.S. Treasury Department held meetings this week with top executives from three crypto custody firms to discuss safeguarding the country’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
, sources familiar with the matter told Decrypt.

Anchorage Digital was one such custodian that met with Treasury Department officials on Monday, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

When asked about the meeting, Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley told Decrypt that government officials asked him detailed questions about best practices for custodying a national Bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile. McCauley said the officials also inquired about how custody could impact stablecoins and market structure, two hot-button topics currently before Congress.

The Treasury Department is asking all the right questions,” the Anchorage CEO told Decrypt. “It’s clear that Treasury officials are treating this move into the digital asset space with care, recognizing that the United States is quite literally writing history.”

The Treasury Department did not respond to a request for comment on this story.


A Capitol Hill source with knowledge of the meetings told Decrypt the Treasury Department is in the early stages of figuring out how best to tackle questions of security involved in the U.S. government indefinitely holding billions of dollars worth of digital assets.  

I don't think they have a view yet, and they're trying to figure out what their view is going to be,” they said. “But they are actively seeking additional information from industry participants on the best way to custody the strategic reserve and the stockpile.

The source elaborated that key decision makers in the industry appear to be in favor of one or multiple third parties assisting with custodying the U.S. government’s Bitcoin reserve in the interim, with the long-term goal of the government eventually self-custodying when ready.

Self custody refers to the practice of independently holding crypto in cold wallets accessed with private keys, as opposed to relying on third parties to manage the assets.

The national digital assets stockpile, however, will consist of a wide variety of seized crypto assets on various blockchain networks, and therefore will likely be permanently custodied by a third party.

How are the nearly 200,000 BTC in the government’s possession currently being held? Last summer, the U.S. Marshals Service announced it had tapped Coinbase to custody its large cap digital asset holdings.  

When asked by Decrypt whether the company currently custodies the U.S. government’s Bitcoin, however, a Coinbase representative declined comment, pointing only to a recent, vague X post on the subject by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

In the post, Armstrong boasts that his company “works with 145 government entities in the U.S. and 29 government entities outside the U.S.” and that Coinbase has seen increased interest in its custody services following President Donald Trump’s announcement establishing a Bitcoin Reserve.

During an event in Washington held Tuesday by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe, Casa CEO Nick Neuman, and Anchorage Digital’s Nathan McCauley convened a panel on “Safeguarding America’s Bitcoin.

During the talk, the executives opined as to the current state of the government’s current BTC stash, which is worth some $16.4 billion at writing.

“It’s maybe sitting in a closet at the U.S. Marshals Office,” Casa’s Neuman said.

“Or in a drive at somebody’s desk,” BitGo’s Mike Belshe added.
