Episode Description
Frank Holmes, Michael Hudson and Chen Lin return. Last time we talked with Frank he suggested that China is leading the world toward a cryptocurrency that would be backed by gold. But does a gold-backed cryptocurrency make sense if the Chinese virtual currency is engineered to remove all freedoms and liberties from every human being by governing where you go, what you buy, and what you are allowed to believe? By contrast, gold has served as the most fair, egalitarian and pro free- market money ever used by humankind. While gold systems have in the past helped to slow down government theft by way of inflation, is there any reason to think the Chinese Communist Party would allow a gold-backed monetary system to lead to a free market capitalist system? What would be the purpose then of China backing a digital Yuan by gold? Those and other questions regarding money and other market matters will be asked of Frank who is the chairman of HIVE Blockchain Technologies a company that mines Ethereum. We will get Chen Lin’s latest views on China as well as on gold and biotech markets, and Michael will update us on one of the most exciting emerging copper-silver discoveries in the world.

Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.
Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay’s insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.
