Schiff: Because I think they are also underestimating just how much inflation global central banks are going to create - in particular the Federal Reserve - and how much value the US dollar is going to lose against other fiat currencies, but in particular against real money, which is gold.
I don't even look at gold bullion as an investment. I look at it as a store of value - as an alternative to cash.
I think gold is going to make a much bigger rise against these fiat currencies. But as an investment, I think investors should be at gold mining stocks. Fed is not winning a long-term game. They continue to print money, devalue the currency, and continue to essentially run the American currency into the ground.
Peter responded saying that just because blockchain technology has value doesn't mean bitcoin itself does.

The Golden Jubilee and the return to gold standard

On 15 August 1971, US President Richard Nixon officially announced that the country was completely abandoning the gold standard.
This meant that the US government abandoned the convertibility of US dollars into gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce.
The government simply could not meet the demand to exchange dollars received for goods and services for gold.
The jubilee in its original, biblical meaning when once in 50 years the sold and mortgaged lands were returned to their original owners, slaves and prisoners of war were freed, debts were forgiven, and the land rested from fieldwork.
Why not, 2022 may be the year for the return of the gold standard.

ZiG Enters Circulation

Zimbabwe introduced its new gold-backed currency, the ZiG, into general circulation on April 30th.
This move has been met with joy by Zimbabweans who have expressed relief at being able to withdraw ZiG notes and coins from banks for the first time.
While the currency was initially introduced electronically in early April, the availability of physical banknotes and coins marks a significant step forward for the transacting public.

Russia will abolish the VAT (tax) on bullion

The government will abolish the VAT (tax) on bullion.
This Bill will go to the State Duma on March 4.
Going forward - when purchasing gold bars or other precious metals from a bank, the 20% current tax on top of its value will not apply.
This is a way to ensure people can invest securely in something other than the dollar (usually people hold their cash in dollars as the ruble is volatile.)
PM advises foreign businesses that competitors will take their place.
This is a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.
