America is not great; we are being exploited for profit. Our health, our food, our housing our planet all being exploited by a very few.

@DonDurrett Central banks around the world are loading their boat with this yellow rock right now,

Most will say this guy is nuts by saying gold has no inherent value. However, he makes a valid argument. Gold's value is mainly a social construct that could diminish over time. Bitcoin is essentially the same thing. Bitcoin only has value because society gives it value. Both gold and Bitcoin, as SOVs, worry me over time because of this social-construct weakness. I'm fine owning them in the near to medium term, but over time the risk increases. 🧐

@JustinWolfers Some may argue Gold is the only honest form of money.

“Gold has no inherent value. It's a shiny rock... people buy gold because they think other people value gold, and that's a self sustaining equilibrium.”

"When the world's dominant power that has the world's reserve currency is overextended financially, and it reveals its weakness by losing both military and financial control, watch out for allies and creditors losing confidence, the loss of its reserve currency status, the selling of its debt assets, and the weakening of its currency, especially relative to gold" -Ray Dalio

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

My first silver ingot that I got in China. #silver

@TheApeOfGoldST Depends whether the war is over or not

Today we make some money!

@mitchellvii 12k like for a dumb tweet like this amazes me 😂

We went from “free Iran” to “kill their whole civilization” really fast…

France could easily have sold its “NY Gold” now and waited patiently to repurchase LBMA #Gold once it “crashes” to $3,000 per troy ounce; just as the army of anonymous burner accounts on X are confidently forecasting. But France decided to buy #Gold right now.

Bloomberg just published an article titled: The Iran War Just Broke the Petrodollar. I have been highlighting this risk for a long time. These are big moments in history that many people are not fully grasping what we are living through.

They’ll hold a meeting, realize they can’t open it if the US couldn’t, & then just agree to pay Iran in CNY… …and the easiest/only way to secure CNY is by buying physical gold in USD and selling that gold to China in CNY. People selling gold today are likely to be sorry.

@Cool_Ustaz This is Hong Kong. It was a fire accident…

🔴 🇮🇷🇮🇱 Heavy strikes reported in Tel Aviv following Iranian attacks. The situation is rapidly developing.

The Mask is Finally Off Finally, the US empire is being honest. No more fake talk. The president does not pretend to work for the American people anymore. He says it clearly: it is about war. It is not about you. Why does America spend so much money? Because it is Israel first. It is elites first. The regular people? They can starve. Is the president hiding anything? No. He is open about it. For years, leaders said, “I work for American families.” They lied. They smiled on TV and sent your money overseas. Now? No lies. The wars continue. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. Do they care about your jobs, your bills, or your future? No. They care about power and their special friends. The empire is transparent at last. It does not hide the game. It is a rich man’s game. You pay the bills. You send your kids to fight. You watch your country get weaker. Is this sad? Yes. But at least they stopped pretending. The mask is off. The elites smile. The masses get the leftovers. Welcome to the new honesty. It is ugly. But it is real.

@SilverDegen salute to you veteran

Exactly 1 year ago from today Silver was trading at $33 and proceeded to drop 17% over the next 3 days only to open on Sunday at a low of $28. Sentiment was 100x worse then. For all of you bummed about $70 silver. YOU’VE BEEN SPOILED‼️

@KingKong9888 Mr C been secretly following you and reading your X. Summarised it on mainstream hk media. 😂

This is a very well written article by Mr. C of Hong Kong, China. Following the outbreak of the US-Iran war, gold prices unexpectedly fell instead of rising. This caught many investors off guard — particularly those who believed that gold should be bought during times of geopolitical turmoil — resulting in heavy losses. The market has offered various explanations for this counterintuitive phenomenon. Some attribute the decline in gold prices to a severe liquidity crunch. The fear triggered by the war prompted investors to sell assets aggressively to raise cash. As a result, apart from oil prices surging sharply, almost all other asset classes experienced heavy selling pressure, causing prices to fall rapidly. Leveraged investors, in particular, may have faced margin calls. With gold being one of the few positions still showing a profit, many were forced to sell their gold holdings to meet these calls and cover urgent liquidity needs. Another explanation is that the sharp rise in oil prices could fuel inflation, prompting the Federal Reserve to reverse course and resume interest rate hikes. Since gold yields no interest and incurs storage costs, higher interest rates would highlight the opportunity cost of holding it, encouraging capital to exit the gold market. A third theory suggests that countries already facing economic difficulties saw their currencies come under severe pressure after the war broke out. Central banks of these nations had little choice but to sell gold reserves and use the proceeds in US dollars to buy back their own currencies in order to support exchange rates. Turkey was cited as a clear example of this behavior. Additionally, the countries directly involved in the conflict are major oil producers with substantial “petrodollars” that they normally invest globally. Once hostilities began, their oil exports were disrupted, causing a sharp drop in revenue. As a result, they were forced to sell gold to generate emergency liquidity, adding further downward pressure on gold prices. While all the above explanations sound plausible, the true underlying cause of the gold price decline remains unclear. In any market, both bullish and bearish factors always coexist. Therefore, regardless of whether prices rise or fall, it is never difficult to find seemingly logical explanations after the fact. The real question is whether these explanations can reliably guide future investment decisions. If we follow the logic of the reasons mentioned earlier — that war causes gold prices to fall — then one might assume that any signs of peace or reconciliation would lead to a rebound in gold prices. However, I believe this may not necessarily be the case. In my view, whether gold prices rise or fall after the war will ultimately depend on which side emerges victorious. The victor will seize the spoils of war, gain control over the redistribution of regional resources, and exert significantly greater influence over the global order. I believe the main reason gold prices fell sharply in the early stages of this conflict is that the United States achieved a swift and decisive victory. By eliminating Iran’s top leadership in one stroke, the US created the possibility of regime change and the installation of a pro-American government in Iran. Should the US succeed in this strategic objective, it would bring the majority of the world’s oil resources under its effective control. If America could then persuade Russia to join it in containing China, China’s rise might be stalled due to energy shortages. This would remove China as a major strategic threat, allowing the United States to solidify its position as the unchallenged global hegemon. In such a scenario, no country would dare push for de-dollarization. Anyone showing the slightest defiance could be dealt with in the same manner as Iran.

@KingKong9888 China can’t thank him enough . When he comes visit , China will give the highest standard of welcoming

Wow lol 😆. Handing it over to China now. 😂😂😂🙈

@MarioNawfal doesn't matter, he's no longer in charge on when the war ends

Trump is addressing the nation tonight Do you think he'll announce victory and the end of the war, or the beginning of a ground operation?
