I think all the billionaires are afraid of the US Dollar collapsing, and taking the whole global commune down with it. In that case they would all lose a lot of money. Maybe everything they have. So they are trying to turn the USA economy around to prevent a global economic collapse. They may have waited too long.

Has popped up in China……

‘ATM’ That Melts Gold Down, Sends Funds To Account Spotted In China ( from ZH)

TUESDAY, APR 22, 2025 – 06:00 PM
With Chinese traders continuing to send physical gold premiums higher, a new ‘ATM’ has been spotted in Shanghai that accepts physical gold, melts it down, determines its purity and weight, and then sends funds to one’s bank account within 30 minutes.

… are running the government …

… and they want to enslave you.

Trump is pissing off conservatives, farmers, his voter base.

This is how they install the control state next term.

Right, you can’t even by single things in some cases I heard. One person told me he went to buy a light for the front of his car and they told him he had to buy a whole unit of 300 and something dollars and that was years ago.

That’s not good. I remember prior to the crash of 08 all of a sudden people couldn’t sell their house. They refinanced into risky loans that aren’t fixed and promised by these clueless they could refi out of it later. They were fixing it up to sell When they found out they couldn’t it was too late and tried to sell. Plus the refi drive taxes up because here with prop 13 they can’t just automatically raise taxes they have to have another reason or a refi or sale. My  neighbor had buyers but even though they should of been able to get a loan the banks stopped lending. Prior to that the homes were selling in days. I thought oh no. Of all charts I didn’t check it was real estate. Major top in overbought  range too.  This is it but I don’t think anybody knew how bad it was gonna get but it wasn’t consolidation it was gonna crash.

If they are well off businessmen, why do they need to borrow money for a small truck?

What really bugs me about cars is that you can’t buy a simple one. You can’t get one with a handbrake even, let alone a manual gearbox. All those sensors which, as you say, cost a fortune to fix, and you can’t fix them yourself as you need expensive manufacturer supplied software to diagnose the problem. Can’t even open the tailgate on a 2007 X-Trail unless the battery is in the car, which is the first thing you take out to change the clutch, and want to use the boot space to lay out everything you take off.

Tks for that….I notice a few other deals happening…..maybe a few are waking up…at last !!!!!

I’m thinking the banks are anticipating, and maybe want an economic slowdown, because a car dealer friend, actually sells smaller trucks, told me five customers in a row, were turned down for loans.

They were all well off business owners. Plus they had big down payments. Another person I know with a 780 credit score got notified they would not renew his home equity loan. The USA has been living off way too many fake jobs, or unneeded jobs, that produce nothing, and consume money from others.

The USA forgot after 1972, that manufacturing jobs create wealth, the birth of wealth, all other jobs need the manufacturing or producers to live off of. Unfortunately China got all the wealth producing manufacturing jobs that we used to have before 1972.

For one example, we are stuck with cars that are so complicated, so many unneeded electrical parts, and stupid nine speed transmissions, catalytic converters and fixing them is extremely expensive. So they junk the cars rather pay a lot of money to fix them.

If we get the expectation later if the dollar falling that being out of the dollar, cryptos  could be a good catalyst as people become more aware of currency’s and prices. I don’t know if I’d trust much further than Bitcoin or PMs though less he comes up with something gold backed. Trump like knowing a storm is coming and prepare as best you can trying to get as many jobs back home and fair trade with a risk of recession, crash and stagflation, the harm since Covid to small businesses or worse than 08 on its way.  They say it takes years but he’s also working on getting permits expedited and things moving faster than old school status quo. Then Hunter fears that the Fed is going to fear lowering rates after waiting to long to raise rates calling inflation transitory might have a inverse reaction of waiting too late to lower interest significantly in a in crash time.

……and FWIW, NEM disclosed that Blackrock just took an 8.7% stake in NEM (97.6 million shares)

see my post …the Risk on rally is down to comments from Bessent….apparently…..we can look forward to all sorts of fake news in the future, as the globalists play games.

Bitcoin’s price has surged above $90,000 today, marking its highest level since early March 2025. Several key factors are contributing to this rally:​Bitcoin News+6TradingView+6Investopedia+6

Weakening U.S. Dollar

Recent political tensions have led to a decline in the U.S. dollar’s value. President Trump’s public criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, including calls for his removal, has unsettled traditional markets. This uncertainty has prompted investors to seek alternative assets like Bitcoin and gold .​DIE WELT+5Finger Lakes 1+5Finger Lakes 1+5

Institutional Investment

Major financial institutions such as Fidelity, BlackRock, ARK Invest, and Bitwise have increased their Bitcoin holdings, signaling strong institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value. Notably, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $380 million in inflows on Monday, the most since January 30 .​Finger Lakes 1Coinpedia Fintech News+2CoinDesk+2Finger Lakes 1+2

Technical Momentum

Bitcoin is trading well above its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, often considered bullish momentum indicators. Analysts point to a “golden cross” pattern forming—when short-term averages cross above long-term ones—as a sign that Bitcoin could soon test the psychological $92,000 resistance level .​Finger Lakes 1

Market Sentiment

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has moved into “Greed” territory for the first time since mid-March, reflecting rising confidence in the market. Altcoins like Ethereum and Solana are also seeing gains, and social media activity and search volume for “Bitcoin” and “buy BTC” are trending upward .​Finger Lakes 1

As of April 22, 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $90,900, up approximately 4% in the past 24 hours. Analysts suggest that sustained institutional interest and macroeconomic factors could propel Bitcoin toward the $100,000 milestone .​Finger Lakes 1+3Coinpedia Fintech News+3Finger Lakes 1+3Finger Lakes 1+1

It was leaked that Bessent said negotiations were likely soon with China ….but by Bloomberg, who will say anything to wreck Trump…..

Then Bessent gets accused of leaking mkt moving info and this is said

Seems we can no longer trust anything that the MSM says …especially if it involves the Trump admin…….

That would explain the strength in crypto today. Bitcoin and the others are ripping higher.

These shares act like gold and silver are collapsing, especially the silver shares. Such garbage.

Comment:

I have been sitting on some shares and have noticed it climbing so I looked it up shown below.

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT) shares are up today following the company’s announcement of a partnership with Crypto.com to launch exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This collaboration aims to introduce ETFs focused on cryptocurrencies and “Made in America” stocks under the new Truth.Fi brand, with the first products expected to launch later this year .​Yahoo Finance+5Yahoo Finance+5Fast Company+5Nasdaq

Investors have responded positively to this strategic move, viewing it as a diversification beyond Trump Media’s core social media platform, Truth Social. The stock’s surge reflects optimism about the company’s expansion into the financial products sector and its potential for future growth.​

The majority of forecasts for NEM are for lower Income and earnings……but with Gold higher for the whole quarter…how does that make sense.

… will never be able to handle all the BS control state power efficiencies needed … so don’t be surprised if the commies cut your power off.

They don’t have enough base-load sources. And it would take years and funding they don’t have for central planners to pull such a feat off.

Their control state plans lay in the balance.

Make sure your states are protecting your power supply while it’s still available because it won’t be forever.

Don’t let the crazy commies burn it all off even faster.

They will never be happy with what they have.

They all belong in a looney-bin.

Your guess is good as anybody’s. Trying to put the pieces together and hope it isn’t as bad as Hunter or others expect but I’m going to have to re listen or find the transcript since it’s faster of the chain of events Hunter mentioned about a time when industrial metals will fly. Since silver is also a industrial metal maybe that’s when silver will make its move to his first 75 target.

I messaged a female who had both hips done. She was in a bad accident where someone T-boned her and her husband. It came later after the initial accident and hip surgery failed do to necrosis. I also learned through her description although they were both knocked unconscious from impact and they  woke up in a sonic parking lot still in their Truck with someone praying over them. All her husband’s fingers were dislocated. The position in the car as well as impact could tell you what to look for as far as injuries. For instance seatbelts across which shoulder. There’s another one. He must of held the steering wheel tight and on impact the steering wheel must have started spinning along with holding tight on impact. Perhaps he helped as far as throwing his body or head against something I don’t know. I asked her if they let her see the room when they took her in. She said no the room was dimmed and lights that were there made the surroundings hard to see.

the scum are desperately trying to prevent Silver from busting loose, by jettisoning lots of paper Gold contracts here…..

Exactly right! I mentioned this last week, but NEM earnings are out tomorrow….

Stock is holding up so far today…
