from RT:

The recent rise of bitcoin could be among the reasons for renewed interest in the Chinese digital yuan project, according to the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). The world’s top crypto, bitcoin, is effectively banned in the country.

Wang Xin, PBOC’s research bureau director, told reporters that market interest in the digital yuan is “very strong and everyone is paying close attention.”

He said, as quoted by CNBC, that “on one hand, this is related to more and more central banks in the world participating in the development of domestic digital currencies. On the other hand, this [interest] may also be related to the large increase in the price of bitcoin.”

by John Rubino, Dollar Collapse:

One of the flaws in the revolutionary mindset is a tendency towards overconfidence. Combine absolute belief in a new idea with a couple of early wins and you get an absurd level of cockiness. This leads the would-be revolutionary to underestimate the challenges involved in getting from there to ultimate victory.

Why? Because those early successes happened when hardly anyone was paying attention. Once the threat is recognized, the Empire usually strikes back with intent, and the revolution turns out to be a lot harder, and a lot less certain, than it seemed.

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

There seems to be a HUGE gap in what people think about cryptocurrency. The European Central Bank (ECB) is working on a scheme to launch “digital euro central bank money” as soon as possible. Many economists praise the project as an “innovation,” as an important and indispensable step in an increasingly digitized world. But economists typically always advocate socialism without ever actually contemplating what is its final destination. The socialist press which has engulfed most of the mainstream is also obvious to what is the final destination.

Before we talk about Fedcoins, let’s look at the old school non-digital, non-blockchain, coin. Gold. And silver.

Since January 4, the price has dropped about $244. And the price of silver has fallen about $4. Are these buying opportunities? Or the end of the brief gold bull market of 2020 (i.e. Covid)?

It helps to return to the idea that gold is the unit of measure of value. Not as a rhetorical device to sell gold, but because it gives a clearer picture.

If one thinks in dollars, one thinks that bitcoin is rising, stocks are rising (though not this week), oil is rising, other currencies are rising, etc. And gold went up, but is now coming down.
