It would be silly to gamble on timing these events. Buying gold in good times to sell in crises, when people panic is a good strategy.spencerrothchild said:It’s just history repeating
governments always abuse and dilute the currency supply until gold and silver do a revaluation up to meet the new expanded currency supply.
gold does a revaluation to account for the new expanded currency supply since the last revaluation
this has always happened through history
Buying gold in a crisis in the hope or fear of hyperinflation - particularly of the reserve currency - is not.
As a currency, as you've alluded to. Sausages are a bad currency, because their shelf life is short (however delicious).Takedap said:How many tins of beans to the (new) dollar? Physical gold has no value apart from that assigned to it. It's only worth is in what you can swap for it. If I offer my dog the choice of a lump of gold or a sausage, it'll take the sausage every time. And if you were starving, so would you. So where is the value in gold?
Gold is a good one, because as a precious metal it lasts long and has rare technical qualities.
Your dog doesn't understand that a lump of gold as a currency could buy him a lifetime supply of sausages - he's choosing the better nutrition.1 -
This why it’s true to say 99.9% of th debt in the world is being defaulted onJohn_ said:
The UK’s debt is in GBP, so they can simply print money and pay it all off if they want. There are very good reasons that they don’t, but it’s always an option when your debt is in your own currency.spencerrothchild said:
But every country in the world can not pay their debts, it’s impossible to pay it all off, all they can do is borrow moreBrock_and_Roll said:Argentina is a classic example - serial defaulter and every time they default you think that people would be made to lend to them again.... but before you know it lenders are queuing up again!
hence 99.9% of the debt in the world is being defaulted on
or monetise the debt is the other way to say it0 -

Yet still you can't provide any real proof that's the case, just you making it up like the rest of your threads on here!!
Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:1 -
OP has debt issues, disabilities (as proven in another post), cannot afford their rent and if also asking about a DRO.
It looks as though they are just looking for a get-out-of-jail-free card and using COVID-19 as the excuse, or rather in their head it works out, but reality is providing to be somewhat difficult...

The FED repeatedly said time and time again they will not monetise the debt
yet this is exactly what they are now doing0 -
Again you’re just spouting what’s going on in your head and can’t produce hard facts. I can see from your other posts your just expecting your own debt to be written off without any consequences.spencerrothchild said:The FED repeatedly said time and time again they will not monetise the debt
yet this is exactly what they are now doingYou’re wanting to use the current Covid situation as an excuse, which in reality isn’t going to happen, your creditors will want there money and will more than likely use the enforcement methods they have to get it.So it’s time to accept that truth and move on!!Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:3 -
I’ll try to keep this really simple for you. A debt being defaulted on has a very clear and unambiguous meaning, it means that payments are not being made in line with the agreed terms.spencerrothchild said:

Under this, the only correct Definition, it’s clear that you are wrong. You are at this point clearly a wind-up merchant, so I’ll not engage any more.1 -
Yes, just another person who’s blown other people’s money and then developed a conspiracy theory to explain why they shouldn’t pay it back.D3xt3r5L4b said:OP has debt issues, disabilities (as proven in another post), cannot afford their rent and if also asking about a DRO.

It’s amazing how few cranks develop their “unconventional” views before they borrow and spend money, as opposed to after.1 -
Just a thought OP - if, as suggested, you have debts you would like written off under cover of a worldwide cancellation of debt I'd be happy for that, but remember if you receive benefits or a pension they are current or future liabilities (debts) on another organisation's account and would be cancelled also - so say goodbye to your benefits and pension!0
