- 0:00Silver and gold investors, are you annoyed?
- 0:04Bitcoin hits over $100,000 per Bitcoin.
- 0:09Why can't gold and silver hit $100,000?
- 0:12If you are annoyed, and I'll ask you that question, we're going
- 0:16to talk about some reasons why from a big picture perspective,
- 0:20silver and gold still prevail. Silver and gold will be the
- 0:26winner at the end of the race. Also, we're going to talk about
- 0:30about new legislation in a state near you which would eliminate
- 0:37the need or the ability of the federal government to implement
- 0:40a CBDC. And there's even more stunning
- 0:43information because this is legal tender legislation that is
- 0:47being considered right now. And there's another factor to it
- 0:51that is just absolutely astounding.
- 0:53But let's get to the big story of the day, guys.
- 0:55And are you annoyed? I'll ask you that question.
- 0:58I am. I'm a little annoyed.
- 1:00I'm a little sick of hearing about Bitcoin.
- 1:02OK, here, let me give you an example right now.
- 1:05And let's see what Jerome Powell had to say about Bitcoin and
- 1:09gold, which I think we'll all find very, very interesting that
- 1:14just go out to Google, type into Google News Bitcoin.
- 1:17You get it's just overwhelming the amount of press coverage
- 1:22that's received by Bitcoin. But let's go to this.
- 1:24This article popped up about we got to look at this one, what
- 1:28Fed Chief Powell said about crypto that may have aided
- 1:32bitcoins rally to $100,000 Bitcoins Media meteoric ride,
- 1:37meteoric run may have gotten a little extra push from an
- 1:41unlikely source, Jerome Powell. It's not a competitor for the
- 1:47dollar, it's really a competitor for gold, the central bank
- 1:52leader said at the New York Times Deal Book Summit.
- 1:55So we've got Jerome Powell now saying and comparing Bitcoin to
- 2:00gold. Let me bring up a very important
- 2:03point about Bitcoin and gold, guys.
- 2:06The market cap of gold is like 9-8 or nine times bigger than
- 2:11that of Bitcoin. Does it make you a little
- 2:13suspicious that it's all they're talking about in the mainstream
- 2:17media? Turn on CNNRCBCNBC or one of the
- 2:21business news channels, All right, All they all they have on
- 2:25the screen the entire time. There's almost always a quote
- 2:29for the Bitcoin price, gold and silver.
- 2:32It pops up like once every minute.
- 2:34You got to really be watching for it if you want to see gold
- 2:37and silver, Bitcoin and crypto are being pumped by the
- 2:41mainstream media, right? They're being pumped all over,
- 2:45right? And this is this is I'll just
- 2:47say it okay. To me it almost seems more like
- 2:51digital tulips, right? Remember the Tulip bulb craze?
- 2:55Then it does like gold. Jerome Powell saying it's like
- 2:58gold. Do you think it's like gold?
- 2:59No, I think there's a big differentiator in my mind.
- 3:03And look, I'm entitled to my opinion.
- 3:05So are you. I'm not anti Bitcoin.
- 3:07Don't get, don't throw, don't throw tulips at me or anything.
- 3:11But to me, when I look at Bitcoin and there's even Jerome
- 3:15Powell is comparing it to gold, right?
- 3:17They're pumping it. OK.
- 3:19I think in reality bitcoins closer to the the tulips or
- 3:23whatever, right? You know you can't, there's a
- 3:27limited number of Tulip bulbs in the world.
- 3:30You can't Sure, you can grow them.
- 3:31You can make more just like you can mine bitcoins.
- 3:34And I know the number of bitcoins is limited at 21
- 3:37million or whatever the heck it is.
- 3:39But none the less, in my mind, there's a big difference between
- 3:44gold and Bitcoin. And there's such a craze going
- 3:48on. I mean, it's been taken over by
- 3:50the main stream media, it's been taken over by the mainstream
- 3:55financial services companies. The big financial service
- 3:59industry is embracing it at this point.
- 4:01But remember they also embraced mortgage-backed securities,
- 4:05which caused the great financial crisis.
- 4:08OK, and what about this? What about when gold and silver
- 4:11are when gold? Not silver yet, but when gold
- 4:15hit an all time high just a few months ago, there was crickets.
- 4:21It was the exact opposite. There was no attention being
- 4:25paid to gold when it hit new all time highs.
- 4:28Bitcoin goes to $100,000. And it's like the world is, you
- 4:32know, erupting with media coverage.
- 4:35I'm telling you, there's something behind this.
- 4:38There's something major behind this because don't forget,
- 4:41right, the world central banks. I've yet to hear of any major
- 4:45world central bank who's investing in in Bitcoin as a
- 4:49reserve asset. And we know what does that tell
- 4:52us that the world central banks are buying gold and we know that
- 4:56the Russians are actually buying themselves a little silver right
- 4:59now as well. Hey, I forgot to tell you the
- 5:00most important thing. Thank you.
- 5:02Yes, you. Thank you for being here.
- 5:04Thanks for being part of the basement.

- 5:34I apologize. And I spent the half hour trying
- 5:37to find a way to find the person and and I couldn't figure it
- 5:41out. Then I forgot to wrote write the
- 5:42name down. It was a woman.
- 5:44Thank you for the Super chat, Brent, not Brenda, but I do want
- 5:47to say hi to Brenda. Shout out to Brenda because
- 5:49that's separate. One of our basement welders
- 5:51requested I shout out Brenda. Thank you, Brenda for being
- 5:55here. OK, let's go look at this.
- 5:57This is some interesting information.
- 5:59Then we're going to get into this big news out of Missouri
- 6:04about legal tender legislation but also a ban on CBDC's.
- 6:11Let's go check this out. This is an interesting tweet
- 6:14from Darth Powell said that Bitcoin is centrally controlled
- 6:18manipulation Ponzi scheme. That's his opinion, he's
- 6:21entitled to it. 1.94% of the total Bitcoin addresses hold
- 6:28almost 93% of the Bitcoin. So people say, oh, it's the,
- 6:34it's the money for the people, it's the whatever.
- 6:37Well, 2% of the addresses control 93% of it right now.
- 6:42I'm telling you guys, I'm suspicious, OK, but let's focus
- 6:46in on silver and gold. How about $22,000 gold?
- 6:50Is that what you want to hear this morning?
- 6:52We're going to talk about that next.
- 6:54I doubt that it's hit that level right now.
- 6:56We're going to run out the channel sponsor Pinbecks and get
- 6:59an update here. They made me restart my
- 7:01computer. So sorry, things are a little
- 7:03clunky this morning. Let's get an update.
- 7:06These are yesterday's prices. Let's get an updated price on
- 7:10gold and silver. We got some red.
- 7:13Gold is at 2640 dollars. Silver down 11 cents, $31.21.
- 7:19Thank you guys. I want to tell you about PMBEX
- 7:22online bullion dealer, what they can do for you and I'll tell you
- 7:26what they're doing for you right now.

- 7:47before they sponsored the channel.

- 7:53received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our community
- 7:57because they provide ultra competitive prices.
- 8:01They've got a great selection and it's like a one stop shop,
- 8:04right? It's a company you know you can
- 8:06trust. So please consider Pinbacks next
- 8:08time you are looking to buy some bullion.
- 8:11And we're going to go back to that silver price.
- 8:14We just looked at $31.21. Is that what we said?
- 8:18I've got some news for you on that as well, but big warning,
- 8:21please, if you ever decide to convert all or part of an
- 8:24individual retirement account and IRAI don't give financial
- 8:28advice, but if you ever decide to convert 1 into precious
- 8:31metals, take your time. Talk to a lot of people.
- 8:35You may want to consider. I believe you would benefit from
- 8:38talking to the guys at pmbex. OK, you want to compare, take
- 8:42your time and at the end of the day, compare how many actual
- 8:45ounces of gold and silver any of the options that you have are
- 8:49actually going to provide for you, okay?
- 8:51Please be careful. Take your time if you ever
- 8:54decide to do that. Okay, let's go to this.
- 8:57Let's look at this morning. I know, right?
- 9:00We all wish we had thousands and millions of bitcoins, but we
- 9:04have silver and I want to show you something on this chart.
- 9:07This is a one year chart of silver.
- 9:10What do you notice when you look at this chart?
- 9:12So one year price chart of of silver.
- 9:15The green shaded area, the green line is the price right month by
- 9:18month over the last year. You see the months listed at the
- 9:21bottom, sure, you see that it's on a big upward sloping trend.
- 9:27But guys, when we look at the silver price, we got to realize
- 9:31this is so critical a year ago, right now, a year ago right now,
- 9:36this is where we were. This was our price, OK, $22.50.
- 9:44That's in the futures market, right?
- 9:46This is the March contract. But none the less, currently in
- 9:49the futures market we're $31.83. We're up almost $10 per oz,
- 9:57probably 4045% in the silver price, right?
- 10:02We talked about this yesterday, but we'll draw this line again.
- 10:06Can you see the upward sloping price trend in silver?
- 10:11I think we're in for a great year in 2025.
- 10:15It's going to be very, very interesting.
- 10:17But let's also look at, let's look at history.
- 10:19Let's talk about 22. Hold on, we're having some
- 10:24technical difficulties, $22,000 gold $22,000 gold, right?
- 10:31Crazy, right? I know, absolute crazy talk.
- 10:33Even though during the 1970s, gold went up 24X24 times, right?
- 10:40Which would be, I don't know, 64,000 or something like that.
- 10:43Gold, $22,000 gold in it. Let's go to this very
- 10:47interesting piece of brief analysis that shows us how this
- 10:53came from the Gold Silver HQ. They say a case for $45,000 gold
- 11:00as stocks crash and gold rises, The Dow to gold ratio that that
- 11:06that measures right? The Dow Jones Industrial
- 11:09Average, which right now is about what, 45,000?
- 11:12It's a ratio. So you divide the Dow 45,000 by
- 11:16the gold price. OK, that will collapse.
- 11:19How far will it fall this time? If the Dow falls by 50%, OK down
- 11:26to about 22,000, then gold would be.
- 11:29And if it went to a one to one ratio, which it has done in the
- 11:33past several times, we would have $22,000 gold.
- 11:37If we went to a Dow to gold ratio of two to one at a 22,022
- 11:43thousand Dow, we'd be at 11,000. And if it went to Dow to gold of
- 11:481:00 to 2:00, we'd be at 45 forty, 4700.
- 11:53OK, here, look right back in 1980, we went to one to one, OK,
- 11:59That again, if the Dow dropped by half and we went to the same
- 12:04ratio that wasn't that long ago, we would have $22,000 gold.
- 12:08There's 2 to one. What were we at?
- 12:10Where were we at a 2 to one, two to one?
- 12:12At a $22,000 Dow, we'd be at $11,000 gold.
- 12:16And the two to one happened in during the Great Depression.
- 12:22So do you think we could have another Great Depression?
- 12:25Do you think we could have, do you think we could have $22,000
- 12:30gold? I do.
- 12:31I absolutely do. Do I think it's going to happen
- 12:34tomorrow, the next day? No.
- 12:35Am I very optimistic about it occurring at some point during
- 12:39my lifetime? Absolutely, without a doubt.
- 12:43OK, jobs number. Big warning, warning, warning.
- 12:47Tomorrow. Tomorrow could be ugly.
- 12:50I don't want to be a pessimist. Tomorrow could be a difficult
- 12:52day for the silver and gold price.
- 12:54It could also be a very glorious day for the silver and gold
- 12:59price. Not that we would allow
- 13:02movements in the silver, gold price to affect our moods or
- 13:05anything now would we? But why?
- 13:07Why is tomorrow a big day? Tomorrow is the big jobs number
- 13:11coming out OK from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics?
- 13:15That number could be anything at this point.
- 13:18I mean, absolutely anything. Everybody knows it's it's the
- 13:23big joke on Wall Street, right? But at the same time, people pay
- 13:28attention to it and the the level of attention that's being
- 13:33paid to this number is a little bit dialed up right now because
- 13:37the level of attention that's being paid to the Fed is also
- 13:40dialed up. So we'll get that number
- 13:42tomorrow morning. That will have a big impact on
- 13:44the markets. That will have a big impact on
- 13:47the precious metals prices as well, because it will have a big
- 13:51impact on this. OK, we're going to the CME
- 13:55Group, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Fed watch everything
- 14:01is reloading this morning. Sorry for the delay, OK, because
- 14:05in 13 days exactly so that'll be Wednesday of next week.
- 14:10We will hear from Jerome Powell in the Federal Reserve.
- 14:13This Fed meeting I think will be much have much more of an impact
- 14:18on the silver and gold price because people are searching for
- 14:21direction. There's a lot of uncertainty out
- 14:24there in the market right now. We know the Jerome and the Fed
- 14:27is basically up a Creek without a paddle as we as we head into
- 14:32the coming years. But we are going to have these
- 14:35brief periods of time where their sway, their influence on
- 14:39the general markets and in particular what we like to
- 14:42watch, the silver and gold market, their influence will be
- 14:45a bit elevated. And as we see here, the odds of
- 14:49a rate cut have actually dropped a bit from yesterday.
- 14:51Now we're down to 68%. Yesterday this was 7475%.
- 14:57So the markets are now pricing in a slightly lower chance that
- 15:00we're going to have a Fed rate cut on December 18th, which will
- 15:03be the next time that we hear from Jerome Powell in the
- 15:06Federal Reserve. But we know that in the long
- 15:09run, the Fed is to watch my language. the Fed is in a very
- 15:15difficult situation. the Fed will be faced with no option but
- 15:19to print. We can't deal with this guys
- 15:22without printing money. And I'm not in.
- 15:25Not a political statement, but Donald J Trump is not going to
- 15:30be able to fix this. OK?
- 15:33Donald J Trump will likely make this skyrocket.
- 15:37That's been our experience. That's what he's done as a
- 15:40businessman. That's what he's done as a
- 15:43president during his last term. Again, not a political
- 15:47statement, OK. But when this goes up, OK, all
- 15:50that means we can get, I can go into all kinds of fancy
- 15:53calculations for you. But is the US national debt
- 15:56continues. I mean, we just rolled over to
- 15:5836 trillion, what, a week and a half ago?
- 16:01We're already at 36 trillion, 135 billion.
- 16:05The only, the only, the only I could explain it to you in 10
- 16:10different ways and the end result is the same.
- 16:13I'll save you that. The end result is they have to
- 16:16devalue the dollar. That will create big inflation
- 16:21that will be a major, major source of support for the gold
- 16:26and silver price as we head into the coming months, quarters and
- 16:30years and decades. Let's just go check.
- 16:34Oh boy, it's getting interested. Did that go down a little bit?
- 16:37The dollar to silver ratio only at about 1008 85 yes, meaning
- 16:43that your government, I think the M2 money supply is the M2
- 16:47money supply shrinking. This is interesting.
- 16:53No, it's not shrinking there. It is right there in the M2
- 16:57money supply measures the amount of like basically liquid money
- 17:03in the economy being created. So our government is printing,
- 17:06creating via the M2 money supply $1085 for each one ounce of
- 17:12silver that the world is creating right now.
- 17:15Thank you guys for being here. So the big job numbers tomorrow,
- 17:19we'll be covering that. It'll be interesting.
- 17:22Who knows, right? Could you see?
- 17:24Could you imagine? Like we know we, we, we believe
- 17:26everything that our president, Joe Biden tells us because he's
- 17:30proven us, especially recently that when he says something, his
- 17:33word is solid as gold. That's a bad analogy.
- 17:38But nonetheless would I mean, we would never suspect that they
- 17:41would do some funny business with those jobs numbers
- 17:44tomorrow. I think it's a why I've all I've
- 17:47come on here and made predictions about the job
- 17:49numbers. I think it's a wild card what
- 17:52we're going to get tomorrow from the Bureau of Labor and
- 17:55Statistics. But it buckle up, buttercup,
- 17:58because tomorrow, tomorrow's I think going to be a manic day,
- 18:02could either be a great positive day for the gold and silver
- 18:05price or it could be Poopsville for the silver and gold price.
- 18:10So just be prepared, be ready. It's coming.
- 18:14What about what about, you know, South Korea declared martial law
- 18:18for six hours or whatever the other day, Bizarro scary
- 18:22situation that developed. But what did they say?
- 18:25What did their, their, their, their Monetary Authority say?
- 18:29That means everything to the price of gold and silver for
- 18:32Americans? Because America will wind up
- 18:34doing the same exact thing. We will have more.
- 18:38One thing we know for sure. And look, I'm not saying it's
- 18:40going to happen tomorrow, but we will have more financial crisis
- 18:45in this country. It's we looked at the debt.
- 18:48I'm not going to take you back to the debt clock, but you
- 18:51envision 36 trillion in debt growing.
- 18:54We have a, we have a very delicate scary financial
- 18:57situation in this country. We know if we just look at
- 19:01history, these crisis occur, we will have it again.
- 19:04And what will they do? Let's go to the South Koreans
- 19:08and see what they're doing in their time of crisis, which will
- 19:11give us a big clue as to what we can expect when when these types
- 19:16of situations unfold here in the United States.
- 19:23And where was it? Uh oh, hold on, hold on.
- 19:30Wait. Here we go.
- 19:33Sorry about that, guys. From metals and miners, Let me
- 19:36make sure I have you on the right sheet, which I do.
- 19:39Yes. OK.
- 19:41From metals and miners, South Korea pledges unlimited
- 19:46liquidity unlimited liquidity to stabilize markets.
- 19:52There's a big reason why that's that phrase is critical and what
- 19:56it means to you and your your investments in silver and gold.
- 20:00Let me just read this and then we'll then we'll get to the
- 20:03reasons why. South Korea's finance ministry
- 20:05said on Wednesday it is ready to deploy unlimited liquidity into
- 20:09financial markets if needed, after President Yunsuk Yo lifted
- 20:13a Marshall Law declaration he imposed overnight that pushed
- 20:17the one to multi year. Close Quote All financial
- 20:21foreign exchange markets as well as the stock markets will
- 20:25operate normally, the government said in a statement.
- 20:28We will inject unlimited liquidity into stocks, bonds,
- 20:34short term money market as well as forex markets for the time
- 20:38being until they are formally fully normalized.
- 20:42Okay, unlimited into the stock market into the.
- 20:46Does that sound familiar? Come into a theater near you in
- 20:52the United States of America, right.
- 20:55Unlimited liquidity. We know the Fed has done that
- 20:58before. They did it during the great
- 20:59financial crisis. They did it during the C19
- 21:02crisis. They're going to do it again
- 21:04because when they kicked those cans down the road, guys, it
- 21:08just, it just exacerbated the situation that we have in the
- 21:12United States. That's all that the central
- 21:15bankers can do. That's their only tool they
- 21:19have. That's the reality.
- 21:21And they'll call it all different names, right?
- 21:24Kiwi, whatever. the Fed came up with it, and the next one will
- 21:28have a different name. But at the end of the day, it's
- 21:31going to be printing money, right?
- 21:33They'll be devaluing the dollar. It's the only thing they do.
- 21:36It's their only playbook. That's the way it works.
- 21:40What about Missouri? This is astounding.
- 21:44I'm I'm broadcasting to you from the state of Missouri, but
- 21:46Missouri has gold and silver legal tender legislation again
- 21:50this year. There's two interesting new
- 21:53things that are components of this something to do with anti
- 21:56CBDC is written into this legislation.
- 22:00But I think the coolest part is that it would require the
- 22:04Missouri, the Missouri State treasurer to hold some gold and
- 22:09silver. Let's investigate this because
- 22:11it is fascinating and it is coming to a theater near you if
- 22:15you live in the United States, cause Missouri, you know, we're
- 22:17the, we're in the center of the country.
- 22:19We do have two Federal Reserve banks in Missouri, one in Saint
- 22:23Louis, one in Kansas City, which is very unusual here.
- 22:27We go from Zero Hedge, but many places are covering this.
- 22:31Missouri bill would ban CBD CS, ban CBD CS, and make gold and
- 22:37silver legal tender legislation OK.
- 22:41Attempts continue in the US state of Missouri to prohibit
- 22:44the potential use of central bank digital currencies.
- 22:49Look at that, that's a Missouri Rd.
- 22:51I think I've driven down that one anyway.
- 22:53Anyhow, the state has seen several bills this year to stave
- 22:56off digital currency which does not current currently exist in
- 23:00the United States. Rick Bratton pre filed SB194
- 23:06introduces changes the state law that would prohibit public
- 23:10entities from accepting ACBDC or participating in any testing of
- 23:16CBDCBDCS. It also changes the definition
- 23:20of money in the state's Uniform Commercial Code to exclude
- 23:24CBDC's. OK, now in addition to this is
- 23:29where the gold and silver stuff comes on.
- 23:31This is crazy guy. Guys, let me highlight this.
- 23:34This needs to be highlighted. This is glorious.
- 23:37I'm proud of the state of Missouri for taking this step.
- 23:41In addition to the provisions on the CBDC's, the bill would
- 23:48require the state treasurer to keep at least 1% of the state
- 23:54funds in gold and silver. It would also exempt.
- 23:59OK, well let's back up 1%, which is you'd say that's not a lot.
- 24:03Well, the state of Missouri is a lot bigger than many of you may,
- 24:07may believe, right? Two big cities, Saint Louis,
- 24:10Kansas City, two Federal Reserve banks.
- 24:13If we get the treasurer of the state of Missouri under law
- 24:17required to keep gold and silver in the treasury, that is a
- 24:23major, major news story #1 but also a major step right towards
- 24:30the re recognition of gold and silver is real money, right?
- 24:34And that's what this type of legislation is doing.
- 24:36It's not just Missouri. You know, there's been a wave of
- 24:39legislation, A Pat Holland from Missouri Freedom Initiative
- 24:43works mostly in Missouri, but you also have the Citizens for
- 24:46Sound Money, Daniel Diaz working on a more national basis.
- 24:50There's a host of states which have already passed legal tender
- 24:54legislation. And as we move into 2025,
- 24:59there's going to be more and more states fighting for it as
- 25:02well. I'm hearing rumors about
- 25:04Indiana, all a bunch of different states.
- 25:08The the list is growing. I think you can go to citizens
- 25:11for sound money and check out their website.
- 25:13They've got like a, a, a state by state list and where things
- 25:16stand. But guys, this is big news.
- 25:19Let's get back to that article. If we got a few more points we
- 25:22want to cover, it's a massive OK, here we go.
- 25:26Let's read this. The Act declares that gold and
- 25:31silver shall be accepted as legal tender at their spot price
- 25:36plus market premium in the state of Missouri.
- 25:40Cost incurred in the course of verification of the weight and
- 25:43purity of any silver. Gold shall be borne by the
- 25:47receiving entity, Matt and OK. So welcome to Missouri, where
- 25:52we're going to go back on to the gold standard and silver
- 25:54standard. I'm ready, baby.
- 25:56The bill's provision on CBDC are similar or identical to those
- 26:00other bills introduced in Missouri earlier this year.
- 26:04OK. And there's Rick Bratton.
- 26:06He's the guy. Apparently better coverage than
- 26:09Verizon. Can you hear us?
- 26:12Now? That's pretty cool shirt.
- 26:14I never saw that. Huh.
- 26:16Interesting. Not a political statement.
- 26:20It would all this would this would make changes to the
- 26:23Uniform Commercial Code. I believe it may have.
- 26:27It passed the House vote. Here we go.
- 26:30So it's already passed the House vote and has been forwarded to
- 26:33the state Senate. OK, there's a separate bill
- 26:36about CBDC alone. Anyhow, why is this important to
- 26:40you? Because guys, if you live in the
- 26:42United States and if you don't live in the United States,
- 26:45there's a big reason why this is important to you.
- 26:47But if you live in the United States, this is the Domino's.
- 26:52The gold and silver Domino's are falling 1 by 1 by 1.
- 26:58We already have a host of states in the United States that right
- 27:03now have gold and silver legal 10 legislation.
- 27:07I don't want to miss state and so don't quote me on these, but
- 27:10states like Utah, I believe Texas, I know Florida's working
- 27:13on it. Tennessee pass some, I mean Iowa
- 27:17I believe, I don't know, don't quote me on any of that.
- 27:20I need to get more up to speed and I will, but we do.
- 27:24I know for a fact we've got these states that are falling
- 27:27like dominoes right now, one by one by one, right?
- 27:31The states, is your state part of it?
- 27:34Do some research, figure it out. Because what they're doing, the
- 27:38states are saying are rejecting the Federal Reserve, rejecting
- 27:42the federal government. And our founding fathers set up
- 27:45the Constitution in this manner so that the states are able to
- 27:48reclaim, right, their constitutional right to use
- 27:52silver and gold as real money. At the same time, we've got
- 27:55we've got like asset backed asset 100% backed by real metal
- 28:02asset backed currencies that are being developed, right.
- 28:05The thing from Wisdom Tree Texas is talking about has legislation
- 28:12proposed pending that would create an A gold and silver
- 28:16backed currency in the state of Texas.
- 28:18Don't forget guys, Texas has their own depository.
- 28:23Texas is like one of the most innovative growing states in the
- 28:27country. Everybody's moving from from
- 28:29California, right? Cuz some people say it's become
- 28:32a little, what do they call it California?
- 28:35I don't know. Anyway, become a little too
- 28:38well, a distasteful place to live for a lot of people.
- 28:41Businesses are moving from California to Texas and Texas is
- 28:46embracing this idea of an asset backed digital currency 100%
- 28:52regulated. Don't don't look, you got to get
- 28:55that. We got to get this through our
- 28:57thick, thick skulls. I know I love physical metal.
- 29:00These asset backed digital currencies are not going to take
- 29:02away your ability to continue to stack physical metal.
- 29:06They'll do two big things for you.
- 29:08This is why you need to be excited about these 100% asset
- 29:12backed gold and silver type things that do two things for
- 29:16you #1 they would easily let you be able to save and protect your
- 29:22wealth and gold and silver and make it functional so that you
- 29:26could go to the dry cleaner. You can go to the grocery store,
- 29:29you can go to the comic book store.
- 29:31I don't know, whatever you, whatever floats your boat, none
- 29:34of my business. But you can use real gold, use a
- 29:37debit card, right type arrangement and buy with real
- 29:41without having to carry around. Look, I love this stuff.
- 29:44I carry AI carry. Look, let's do a little show and
- 29:47tell. I'm not my favorite.
- 29:49I love that Indian, right? I love carrying this stuff
- 29:52around, no doubt about it. But if I'm going to go to the
- 29:55grocery store, I don't want to be lugging 10 American Silver
- 29:59Eagles with me. Or five, whatever the case may
- 30:01be. No, you want to be able to use
- 30:03it. OK, you want to be able to use
- 30:05it, but it's critical. I've never yet invested in any
- 30:10of these asset backed digital currencies because I've yet to
- 30:13become 100% comfortable. OK, I will at some point and
- 30:17I'll let you know when I do digital gold, digital silver,
- 30:20but only when I, I'm 100% certain that if I recommend it
- 30:26or I talk about it, that I'm 100% certain that it's 100%
- 30:31backed, 100% audited, regulated, and that it, the metal is
- 30:36actually there and that day is coming, OK.
- 30:39And that is benefit #1 benefit #2 if you're like me and you're
- 30:43a stacker, are you a stacker? I'm a stacker.
- 30:48You're a stacker. Wouldn't you like to be a
- 30:50stacker too? Yeah, you are.
- 30:53OK when these solutions gain a popular.
- 30:59What's the word? When, When, When I can't find
- 31:01that word. Maybe you're like me.
- 31:03If I'm 54 years old, I can't find all my.
- 31:05I can't find all my words. It's funny, I say it to my
- 31:09little kids when they were four. Find your words popular
- 31:12adoption. That's still not it.
- 31:14There's enough fancier way to say it.
- 31:16But when it they become popular, adopted people are using these
- 31:20asset backed digital currencies that will also create more
- 31:26massive demand for real physical metal because they're going to
- 31:30need that metal to back up those asset backed digital currencies.
- 31:34All right, I, I, I digress. Just stay out of debt, OK?
- 31:38Stay out of debt. OK, Gold and silver, here we go.
- 31:40Let's go look at this is a new one to me.
- 31:42This will be a new one to you as well.
- 31:45Where is it here? Here we go, another one from
- 31:48metals and miners. But this is gold, gold silver HQ
- 31:527 industrial demands just because we need to do a review,
- 31:56guys, don't forget the demand for silver.
- 31:59You know, I know some of these days are challenging, I
- 32:02understand, but the demand for silver is continuing to grow.
- 32:06What we talked about yesterday. What did Warren Buffett say that
- 32:09is so critical? The demand for silver is
- 32:12inelastic. Inelastic means not elastic, not
- 32:16not flexible. Not flexible means solid, right?
- 32:20Means that no matter what the price goes to, the demand will
- 32:23pretty much remain the same. It's not flexible.
- 32:26What are these big seven demand areas that we we need to do a
- 32:30quick review about the silver market because they are critical
- 32:35right to the, to the economy, but also critical to the, to the
- 32:39demand structure of silver. OK, a thread solar panels,
- 32:47somebody said earlier in the comments, right when I came on
- 32:51that there's somebody said that in 2025 they're estimating 550
- 32:55million ounces of silver paste will be needed for solar panels.
- 33:01That's more than half of the world silver production.
- 33:04I wasn't able to, I didn't have time to verify.
- 33:06That was just one of the comments, but we know solar
- 33:09panels are exploding electronics, medical, we never
- 33:12talk about that medical applications.
- 33:14Silver is antimicrobial. Silver is like sewn into the
- 33:17gowns of the of the brain surgeons and surgeons whatever
- 33:21medical clothing, there's big, big applications for silver in
- 33:25the medical industry, automotive industry.
- 33:27Yes, we know Samsung's working on the solid-state battery,
- 33:30which would require some people say up to 30 oz plus of silver
- 33:35per battery per car. We also know that Samsung is
- 33:38working with Toyota and that Lexus last I red was planning to
- 33:42be the first big car brand to roll out this new generation of
- 33:47car battery that lasts twice as long as the current batteries
- 33:51that is is lighter, that is much more safer and there's a bunch
- 33:55and charges like in a fraction of the time.
- 33:57All right, water purification. I've heard Rick rule talk about
- 34:01that right sanitation water purification for silver 5G
- 34:05technology, chemical manufacturing.
- 34:08All right guys, there's silver. All right, we know they good.
- 34:13They go through all the different points.
- 34:15I'll leave that for you to go read if you like again, that was
- 34:18from the medals and miners. Sub stack, sub stack, sub stack.
- 34:25Oh, but you know, here, look at this.
- 34:27This is a funny one. I know we're all a little bitter
- 34:30about the Bitcoin situation, you know, whatever, but this was
- 34:34breaking from Nostra House of Gold last night.
- 34:36Apple Computer apparently has announced that they will be
- 34:40using Bitcoin instead of gold in the manufacturing of their next
- 34:45iPhones. Just pointed out the fact that
- 34:50yes, you know, the Bitcoin situation is interesting.
- 34:53I'll go on a little Bitcoin ramp.
- 34:55I believe Bitcoin is 100% mostly manipulation.
- 35:00How can it not be OK I'm not not anti Bitcoin, I'm just giving
- 35:05you my perspective on what I see in the Bitcoin world.
- 35:08OK, the crypto market, you know, we talked about the silver price
- 35:13being manipulated, but I would argue that the that the that the
- 35:16price of most of these cryptos is much more manipulated because
- 35:21they don't have any tether back to reality.
- 35:24They they have nothing. The only thing, the only thing
- 35:27that a lot of them are, and I know they have these whatever
- 35:31some of them have use cases, I won't argue into that is price,
- 35:34price, price, price, price. That's the only thing that
- 35:37drives them. Especially some of these meme
- 35:39coins like Doji coin or whatever these may be OK, It's price,
- 35:44right? And price is all based on
- 35:46emotion. And when then when you have the
- 35:49big major financial institutions, which I'll say
- 35:52suspiciously have become very pro crypto, you're going to tell
- 35:57me that that these big financial firms that have been proven to
- 36:01have manipulated the gold price and silver price for decades
- 36:05aren't manipulating the price of the cryptos.
- 36:08And when you have this massive mainstream media, almost like a
- 36:12brainwashing that's going on about crypto, crypto, crypto,
- 36:17that the price is real, that the price is based on some type of
- 36:21real value. No, I don't think it is.
- 36:24OK. I just can't think it is.
- 36:26And then on top of it, let's just talk about Bitcoin and
- 36:30MicroStrategy. Michael Saylor, who's like the,
- 36:34the, I don't know, the Messiah of, of, of crypto and Bitcoin.
- 36:38His company MicroStrategy, which used to be a software type
- 36:42company just years ago started, if you don't know this, started
- 36:46buying Bitcoin, it became like the Bitcoin savior or whatever
- 36:50you want to call them. They're they're borrowing
- 36:53billions of dollars from Wall Street, borrowing money, issuing
- 36:57bonds, and then using that money to buy Bitcoin.
- 37:01I mean, it's almost like, I don't know, it's almost like
- 37:05taking you taking money out on your credit card and going to
- 37:09the casino. That's what's supporting the
- 37:12price of Bitcoin, right? A part of it, not all of it, I'm
- 37:17not gonna say it, but it's to me, it's just it's absolutely
- 37:21ridiculous. OK, so we talk about silver and
- 37:24I put a video out about about this.
- 37:26I think it's coming out later, or maybe I did already, I don't
- 37:28know. But we talk about silver being
- 37:30manipulated. And it is, right?
- 37:33Look, look here. Look, here's how silver's
- 37:35manipulated, OK, Right here, right down here, right here.
- 37:42See my yellow finger? The paper to silver ratio, which
- 37:45now is continuing to go up, but it's over 404 hundred claims
- 37:50paper claims on each one ounce of real silver in the in the big
- 37:55trading markets, 400 to one. OK, but at least at least silver
- 38:02has that, right? The cryptos, there's nothing
- 38:05back there, there's nothing backing them.
- 38:08And you know, again, you know, hey, congratulations to you.
- 38:11If you've made money on crypto, that's great.
- 38:14Me personally, if I'd made a lot of money on crypto, I'd sell it
- 38:17and convert it to real metal. But I'm not giving financial
- 38:20advice and you're not asking for it.
- 38:21But I'm just saying the situation that we're seeing
- 38:24unfold right now is really, really crazy, right?
- 38:29And I, and I know it seems real to a lot of people, but other
- 38:35real bubble type situations have unfolded as well.
- 38:38I could be dead wrong. I've been wrong up to today when
- 38:42it comes to why I never bought Bitcoin.
- 38:44And I'm going to tell you, OK, I looked at Bitcoin before.
- 38:4899.99999999% of these people that are now Bitcoin and crypto
- 38:54fanatics even knew that it existed.
- 38:56I studied Bitcoin back in 2000, was probably 13 when my
- 39:01daughters were infants, OK. And at that point I didn't
- 39:05understand. Sure.
- 39:06I wish I'd have bought it. I think Bitcoin was like 10-12
- 39:08bucks at the time, but I never moved on it because it never
- 39:13felt quite right. It still doesn't feel quite
- 39:15right right now. Do I wish I'd bought it at 10-12
- 39:18dollars? I mean, imagine that you in 2000
- 39:22and I've been I don't have all the dates specific here, but
- 39:25when I was looking at it, honestly, it was around 10 bucks
- 39:28that you could have taken ten of these right and turned them into
- 39:32100,000 of these paper, right? But it's all make believe.
- 39:37This is make believe Federal Reserve note.
- 39:39I mean, it just is really an astounding situation.
- 39:44And furthermore, why what the part that really gets me this
- 39:48really I want to ask you and again, I think this makes it
- 39:53clear to us why we like our silver and gold.
- 39:56But I want to ask you, does how this makes sense?
- 39:58Somebody please? If you can explain this to me,
- 40:01send me an e-mail and explain to me this.
- 40:04This is incredible madding situation that we're seeing
- 40:08right now in our world when it comes to Bitcoin, gold and
- 40:12silver and Donald J Trump. Because we've got Donald J
- 40:15Trump, right, who came out over the weekend and said I'm going
- 40:18to put 100% tariffs on any of these, on any of these BRICS
- 40:23countries who use anything, any alternative to the US dollar if
- 40:29they develop their own system, right?
- 40:31OK. But then at the same time, you
- 40:33got the same guy who says he's in favor of crypto currencies,
- 40:37which are an alternative to the US dollar.
- 40:41Something's going on that doesn't make sense, right?
- 40:44So then my question for Donald J Trump, president-elect and all
- 40:48due respect, is, is it OK for the BRICS countries to trade
- 40:53amongst themselves and cryptocurrency?
- 40:55I don't know. I don't know, right?
- 41:00There's a lot of weird stuff going on.
- 41:02There's a lot of uncertainty right now.
- 41:04More uncertainty in our world right now than any other time in
- 41:08my life. I don't know how you feel about
- 41:10it. And I'm telling you, there's one
- 41:13medicine for uncertainty and that's gold and silver.
- 41:17Guys, thank you. OK, again, thanks for being part
- 41:20of the basement. I will say thank you to 1st
- 41:22Mining Gold, Canadian Gold developer sponsor of Ron's
- 41:25Basement. They've got 2 development stage
- 41:27projects in Canada, gold in the ground in Canada.
- 41:30You can learn more about them at firstmininggold.com.
- 41:33And Fortuna Mining, operating mining company headed by Jorge
- 41:38Gonozo, one of my favorite CEO's.
- 41:40They're mining silver and gold in Latin America, and they have
- 41:44an expanding gold production profile in West Africa.
- 41:49Let's run out and get an update on the silver and gold price at
- 41:53channel sponsor Pin Backs. Oh boy, I got a feeling today.
- 41:57Yeah, down $0.26 for silver still, guys. 31 right around
- 42:02$31.00 per oz O gold's at $2600. Don't forget, one year ago right
- 42:07now we were looking at silver, $22.00 per oz.
- 42:13Let's go see where gold was exactly 1 year ago.
- 42:16This will be fun, OK? This will make us feel better.
- 42:20We're already feeling good. Up there was gold.
- 42:23Back up. Goldie.
- 42:24There's our friend Gold. Let's let this come on.
- 42:30There we go. Where was gold?
- 42:32Who knows? Do you know?
- 42:33Where do you think gold was one year ago right now?
- 42:37Here it is today, taking a little bit of a nose dive and
- 42:42wow guys, yeah, remember now I remember right.
- 42:46Gold was around, right around. We were celebrating because gold
- 42:50was was breaking through 2000 right there.
- 42:54It was on the 6th of of December last year.
- 42:59We were at 2030 dollars. Then we dipped down below, down
- 43:04by $30.00, right a day like today.
- 43:07But then look, it's been a steady rise up.
- 43:10Let's draw that because this will make us feel just dandy
- 43:15about our investments in precious metals.
- 43:18That's what the last 12 months have looked like for the gold
- 43:22price. OK, could we dip down here?
- 43:24Absolutely. But you know what?
- 43:26We know what's going on in our world right now.
- 43:29We know what the central banks are doing.
- 43:30We know reality. We know value.
- 43:34I appreciate you being here. Have a great day.
- 43:36Be nice to yourself. You deserve it.
- 43:38OK, Come back to the basement. You're always welcome here,
- 43:41right? You're part of this group.
- 43:42We come together. Thank you to the moderators,
- 43:45Jake from Jake's Custom Parts, Annie Oakley and also Big Tim
- 43:49the Silvershire. Have a great day, guys, and I'll
- 43:51see you soon. Bye.
- 43:52Bye.
