It's not just "tinfoil blogs" who (for the past 11 years)
have been warning that a monetary reset is inevitable and the only
viable fallback option once trust and faith in fiat is lost, is a gold
standard (something which even Mark Carney hinted at recently): central banks are joining the doom parade now too.
An article published by the De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), or Dutch Central Bank, has shocked many with its claim that "if the entire system collapses, the gold stock provides a collateral to start over." De Nederlandshce Bank(DNB)もしくはDutch Central Bankの論文によると、彼らの主張が多くの人にショックを与えた「もし全金融システムが崩壊すると、ゴールド備蓄がシステム再起動の担保となる。」というものだ。
While gloomy predictions of a monetary reset are hardly new, they have
traditionally been relegated to the fringe of mainstream financial
thought - after all, as Mario Draghi stated on several occasions in
recent years, the mere contemplation of a "doomsday scenario" is enough
to create the self-fulfilling prophecy which materializes it. As such,
it is stunning to see a mainstream financial institution open up about
the superior value of limited supply, non-fiat, sound money assets.
It is also hypocritical given the diametrically opposed Keynesian
practices regularly engaged in by central banks and official
institutions worldwide: after all, just a few months back, the IMF published a paper bashing Germany's adoption of the gold standard in the 1870s as the catalyst for instability in the global monetary system.
Fast forward to today, when the Dutch Central Bank is admitting not
only did gold not destabilize the monetary system, but it will be its
only savior when everything crashes.
"If things go wrong, prices may fall. But, crisis or not, a gold bar
always holds value." This makes it the opposite of "shares, bonds and
other securities" all of which have inherent risk.

According to the IMF's latest data, the DNB holds 615 tons (15,000
bars) of gold mainly in Amsterdam, with other stores in the U.K. and
North America; the value of this gold reserve is over €6 billion ($6.62
billion). Calling gold the “trust anchor,” the article details briefly
why the hard asset is so important to wealth building and the global
economy, claiming: "Gold is... the trust anchor for the
financial system. If the whole system collapses, the gold stock provides
a collateral to start over. Gold gives confidence in the power of the
central bank's balance sheet."
Why this sudden admission of what goldbugs have been saying for
years? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that on October 7, the bank announced it would soon be moving a large part of its gold reserves to "the new DNB Cash Center at military premises in Zeist."
Almost as if the Netherlands is preparing for the grand
reset, and is moving its most valuable asset to a "military"
installation just for that purpose.
それはまるでオランダが the grand reset に備えているかのようだ、そして最も価値のある資産を「軍隊」監督下に移動している。
As bitcoin.com tongue-in-cheek points out, "DNB is no stranger to
playing along with the Keynesian, inflationary games of the global
monetary system. A system which, according to some, is now more a Ponzi scheme based on force and blind faith than sound economic principle. That
notwithstanding, the centralized financial powers of the world know the
real score, and that’s why hard assets like gold are hoarded and locked
down while everyday, individual residents of these geopolitical
jurisdictions are encouraged to spend and spend, going further into debt
to prop up ultimately unsound national economies."
It is hardly a coincidence that in its preparation for monetary
doomsday, the Dutsch Central Bank is also set to begin cracking down on
crypto exchanges and wallets, stating that "firms offering services for
the exchange between cryptos and regular money, and crypto wallet
providers must register with De Nederlandsche Bank."
While the push for greater KYC/AML transparency is a growing global
trend, and is hardly surprising in a world in which trillions in assets
reside in "tax-evading" offshore jurisdiction, the remarkable aspect of
this latest crackdown against crypto - which many see as a modern, more
efficient form of "gold" - is the fact that invasive regulations and
restrictions by central banks can be seen as yet another means of
stockpiling precious assets. This time, not gold bars, but bitcoin and
crypto.
As for the timing of the "great monetary reset", which other central
banks have already quietly hinted at themselves amid massive
repatriation of physical gold from the New York Fed to various European
central banks such as Germany and Austria, we are confident
that the trust-keepers of the current establishment - such as other
central banks and the IMF - will be kind enough to provide ample advance
notice to the citizens of the "developed" world to exchange their fiat
into hard assets. Or, then again, perhaps not.
「great monetary reset」と期を同じくして、他国中央銀行もすでに密かに自国金塊をNew York Fedから幾つかの欧州各国の中央銀行に回帰させている、たとえばドイツとかオーストラリアだ、ZeroHedgeはこう確信している、他国中央銀行やIMFのような既存のイスタブリッシュ達のtrust-keeper は「先進国」の市民に対して管理通貨をハードアセットに交換するように知らしめるだろう。まあ、いつもの繰り返しだが、そうではないかもしれない。
The Next Decade Will Likely Foil Most Financial Plans by Tyler Durden Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021 - 15:20 Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, There are many individuals in the market today who have never been through an actual “bear market.” These events, while painful, are necessary to “reset the table” for outsized market returns in the future. Without such an event, it is highly likely the next decade will foil most financial plans. 現在の市場参加者の多くは本当の「ベアマーケット」を経験していない。こういう事が起きると、痛みを伴うが、将来の大きなリターンを可能にするために必要なちゃぶ台返しとなる。これがないと、多くのファイナンシャルプランは今後10年ひどいことになりそうだ。 No. The March 2020 correction was not a bear market. As noted: 2020年3月の調整はベアマーケットと呼べるようなものではなかった。以前にも指摘したが: A bull market is when the price of the market is trending higher over a long-term period. ブル相場とは長期に渡り市場価格が上昇するものだ。 A bear market is when the previous advance breaks, and prices begin to trend lower. ベア相場とはこれまでの上昇が止まり、市場価格が下落し始めることだ。 The chart belo...
The Fed And The Treasury Have Now Merged by Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2020 - 14:21 Submitted by Jim Bianco of Bianco Research As I've argued, the Fed and the Treasury merged. Powell said this was the case today (from his Q&A): 私はこれまでも申し上げてきたが、すでにFEDと財務省は一体化している。Powell自身がこれに当たると今日話した(彼の Q&Aでのことだ): These programs we are using, under the laws, we do these, as I mentioned in my remarks, with the consent of the Treasury Secretary and the fiscal backing from the congress through the Treasury. And we are doing it to provide credit to households, businesses, state and local governments. As we are directed by the Congress. We are using that fiscal backstop to absorb any losses we have. 我々FEDが今行っている一連のプログラムは、法に基づいており、それを実行している、私が注意喚起したが、 財務長官の同意を得ており、財政に関しては議会の承認も得ている。私どもは家計、ビジネス、連邦地方政府に貸付を行っている。議会の意向のもとに我々は行動している。以下ほどに損失が生じようともそれを財政的に支えている。 Our ability is limited...
