Anyone paying $78,000 to buy Bitcoin is not getting in cheap. Based on the historic price range in which Bitcoin has traded since inception, $78,000 is a very high price to pay. Just because some people paid more, that does not mean paying less than they did is a bargain.

First important resistance.

Silver and gold look like shit.

The mayor of Haikou, China, who reportedly accumulated about $4.5 billion during his career and was found with 13.5 tons of gold and 23 tons of cash in his apartments, has been sentenced to death.

The Data has Vanished without a trace it seems. In 2001, a company called Advanced Digital Communications, led by Canadian engineer Pauline Zalitzky and her team, out in the deep waters off Cuba picked up something strange with their sonar. They identified what looked like large, organized, granite-like stone blocks (resembling pyramids and roads) on the ocean floor. And then, nothing. 📍 No major follow-up. 📍 No full investigation. 📍 No clear answers. We’re told it’s because of funding issues, the extreme depth (over 2,000 feet), and the difficulty of exploring that far down. And to be fair… that’s true. It’s not easy to investigate something at that depth. But still, when something potentially that significant shows up on sonar… you’d expect more than silence. Instead, it’s just been left there. Unverified. Unexplained. Sitting on the ocean floor… waiting.

Turkey has sold 6 years worth of accumulated gold in 3 weeks: Erdogan has dumped a shocking 120 tons of gold (almost $20BN) since the war started, and 70 tons last week. It's amazing gold is not much lower, and begs the question: who is buying all the gold Turkey is selling?

i know theres 3 days left but that is a mighty fine gold weekly shaping up

Gold looks good above 4.4 and bad below.

The gold standard worked because it made every government deficit a direct assault on the nation's money supply—and markets punished politicians immediately for their fiscal recklessness. Under gold, when Congress spent beyond tax revenues, the Treasury had to borrow real money from real savers. No magical money printing. No Federal Reserve buying government bonds with newly created dollars. Politicians faced the same constraint as every household: you can only spend what someone else saved first. And foreign creditors could demand gold redemption at any time, creating an automatic brake on inflationary spending. The mechanics were beautifully simple. Britain's pound sterling maintained its gold parity for over 200 years because the Bank of England raised interest rates whenever gold flowed out of the country. Higher rates attracted foreign capital and made domestic credit scarce—forcing the government and private borrowers to compete for the same limited pool of savings. Deficit spending meant crowding out private investment, and voters saw the immediate consequences in higher borrowing costs. You can see this discipline in action during the Panic of 1893. Cleveland's administration faced massive gold outflows as investors lost confidence in America's fiscal position. Instead of printing money, Cleveland arranged private gold purchases from J.P. Morgan and European bankers—paying market rates for the privilege. The federal budget had to balance because the alternative was national bankruptcy and gold standard abandonment. Modern economists call this "barbarous" because it prevented their beloved countercyclical spending. Damn right it did. Politicians couldn't promise infinite benefits funded by invisible taxes on savers. Every war, every welfare program, every government expansion required convincing actual people to lend their actual savings.

JUST IN: Gold crashes under $4,350 Over $1 trillion wiped out from its market cap in three hours.
