Very surprised to learn that not only did @OVHcloud not comply with *multiple* requests to terminate all services and delete my account, but also that they apparently expected payment for something I didn't know I still had. How is that even legal?!

@007inmd @aakashgupta What do you want to achive? You wont get 100% anyway. Dat Aussie boy in the woods finding his 1oz nugget selling locally or tradeing it for something wont be found in your list. You can always only estimate

Everyone is missing what’s actually happening here.
Gold isn’t surging because of one thing. Three simultaneous forces are converging for the first time in history, and none of them are stopping.
Force 1: The Greenland Tariff War
Trump just announced 10% tariffs on eight NATO allies (Denmark, Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland) starting February 1, rising to 25% by June. The demand? “Complete and total purchase of Greenland.”
This is the US threatening its closest military allies with economic warfare over an Arctic island. France is pushing the EU to deploy its “Anti-Coercion Instrument,” which means €93 billion in retaliatory tariffs on US goods.
Gold gained 10% in the first three weeks of January alone.
Force 2: The Fed Independence Crisis
On January 9, the DOJ opened a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell over renovation costs. Powell responded publicly: “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.”
Treasury Secretary Bessent went on Meet the Press defending the investigation. Trump called Powell “that jerk” and said he’d “be gone soon.” Powell is attending Supreme Court arguments Wednesday in a case about whether Trump can fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
Markets are pricing in the possibility that Fed independence ends in 2026.
Force 3: The Central Bank Stampede
China’s central bank just completed its 14th consecutive month of gold purchases. They’re adding 30,000-40,000 ounces monthly, not because gold is cheap, but because they’re building a post-dollar reserve system.
The PBoC’s true holdings are estimated at 5,411 tonnes versus the 2,304 tonnes officially reported. They launched mBridge with UAE in November, a digital currency platform that lets countries trade without touching US dollars.
Record $89 billion flowed into gold ETFs in 2025. SPDR Gold Trust hit 1,073 metric tons, a three-year high. And these buyers don’t speculate. They accumulate regardless of price.
The Real Story
Gold at $4,800 reflects three things happening simultaneously: the breakdown of trans-Atlantic alliances, the politicization of the Federal Reserve, and the active construction of a parallel monetary system by America’s largest creditor.
JP Morgan targets $5,000 by Q4 2026. Goldman says a 1% rotation of the $27 trillion Treasury market into gold would push prices past $5,000.
The $5,000 prediction by Friday is hyperbole. The $5,000 prediction by year-end is just math.

BREAKING: Gold extends gains to a record $4,850/oz, now up +$260 in 48 hours. We are all witnessing history right now.

@007inmd @aakashgupta One indicator would be the big mining companies ( See HUI) how much they produce/sell a year (see public records). This wouldnt include smaller mines etc. Or how many coins/bars are beeing produced

@aakashgupta How do i verify how much gold is being mined, sold, held, lost?

AI Assisted Coding is good in the fact that it forces me to think things through. As a self-taught programmer, my methodology is usually just open an editor and start coding up a prototype. Then it if works and I like it, I can "do it right". But I think as I code.
These days I have to think the entire system out in advance. I have to explain it to the AI in such a way that he can code it.
That's a different methodology for me.

@veggie_eric Automation. Its called automation. You either have a script or a git hook. Heck you could write smth small that does this whenever you copy code. If you let the llm give you code with comments or you use it without reading it, you are not using it right.

@aistronomer Created a SPA for my better half. She needs something for work. AI did literally 98%, no debugging, it just worked. Still debugging the 2year old though...
