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。
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Albert Edwards: This Was The Final Recessionary Shoe, And It Has Now Fallen by Tyler Durden Thu, 06/27/2019 - 12:45 Exactly three months ago, in late March, the 3 month-10 year spread inverted for the first time since 2007... ちょうど3か月前の3月遅くのことだ、3M10Yスプレッドが2007年以来初めて反転した・・・・ ... an event which sparked near-panic in the market as historically curve inversion has preceded the last 7 recessions. ・・・市場は準混乱状態になった、というのも歴史的に見てイールドカーブ反転が過去7回の景気後退の前兆となっているからだ。 However, while the inversion was certainly a memorable event, the question on everyone's lips is how do risk assets perform once the curve flattens and/or inverts. According to backtests from Goldman, since the mid-1980s, significant stock drawdowns (i.e. market crashes) began only when term slope started steepening after being inverted. ...
今の地球地球温暖化モデルはどれも地球が受ける太陽エネルギーが一定と仮定しています。たとえスーパーコンピュータを利用しようともモデルを超えた計算はできません。しかし太陽の輻射エネルギーは時間とともに変動していますし、太陽と地球の距離は他の惑星の影響で変動、摂動しているのです。過去の温暖化寒冷化はこの摂動でとてもよく説明できます。月の明かりの変化を引き起こすスーパームーン現象も他の惑星の摂動効果による地球・月間距離変動によるものです。こちらはテレビでも解説するのに太陽・地球間距離の摂動変化は決してテレビで解説されることがありません。 いまテレビを賑わしているあの女の子もちゃんと学校に言って科学を勉強すれば自らの愚かさを理解するでしょうに。 Martin Armstrong: The First Clean Air Act Was In 535AD by Tyler Durden Sat, 09/28/2019 - 12:30 Authored by Martin Armstrong via ArmstrongEconomics.com, To me, all this propaganda that humans are responsible for climate change implies that somehow the climate is static and would not be changing but for human activity. This may make great headlines and inspire youth to create strikes and march upon the institutions of capitalism demanding their closure. However, any unbiased review of history reveals a shocking fact – the climate has...
China Injects Gargantuan 1.1 Trillion In Liquidity This Week by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/16/2019 - 22:19 Following what Bloomberg calculated was a record net reverse repo liquidity injection on Wednesday, when the PBOC injected a whopping 560 billion yuan of liquidity into the financial system via open market operations, the Chinese central bank has done it again and in Thursday's open market operation, it sold 250BN yuan in 7 Day repos (slightly below yesterday's record 350BN), and 150BN in 28 Day repos, which net of maturities resulted in a whopping net 380BN yuan ($56.2BN) liquidity injection. ブルームバーグの算出によると水曜に記録的なリバースレポ流動性注入が行われた、PBOCがなんと公開市場操作で金融システムになんと560B人民元を注入した、中国中央銀行は再び木曜に公開市場操作を行った、250B人民元の7日決済レポを売却した(昨日の350B人民元よりも少し少ない)、そして28日決済のレポを150B人民元注入した、結果としてなんと380B人民元($56.2B)の流動性注入となる。 (訳注:なんか足し算すると辻褄が合いません、ブルーム...
