Former Assistant Secretary of Housing and investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts says you have to be careful and fully understand Bitcoin. Fitts explains, “We do know they want to go to an all-digital system with central bank cryptos. The easiest way to build the prison is to get freedom lovers everywhere to build the prison for you. To me, Bitcoin has always been the prototype on the way to building the all-digital crypto system that they would love to put into place. You have $400 trillion in fiat (currency) and it needs a place to go. If you are trying to buy up all the gold, silver and farmland, the last thing you need is competition from retail. They want to shift them into crypto and get them to build the crypto train tracks. In a funny kind of way, it’s brilliant.

There is talk by big banks that Bitcoin could go to $300,000 per unit by the end of the year. Fitts thinks, “This is absolutely possible. This is pure politics. This has nothing to do with economics. How much will the central bankers, who can print as much money as they want, spend to get you into this platform? Your guess is as good as mine. The sky’s the limit as to how much they can spend. Remember, once they decide to bring out the central bank currencies, and they have steadily been regulating the crypto currencies, Bitcoin and everything else, so the day they decide to take this to zero, they can do it. If you are going to invest into cryptos and build our prison for us, what you need to know is this thing could go to $300,000, and it can also go to zero. This is a highly speculative market, and you need to approach it accordingly.”

Fitts warns of a dark future if the central bankers get everything they want. Fitts says, “When they decide to shut down our bank accounts and say you all get on crypto, universal basic income and take that injection or you can’t transact on the financial system, this is instituting a totalitarian system through the financial system. . . . When they shut that trap door, what you need to think about is where are you going to buy food?”

In closing, Fitts says, “We are in Never, Never Land. We have two groups in our society: One group that can print money, and the other who can earn money. What we saw last year is the people who could print money declared war on the people who earn money. They basically said we are going to shut down your businesses, and we are going to suck up and take your market share or buy you out with money we print out of thin air. . . . We have no pandemic. What this is is an economic war.”

I like Fitts and I've listened to her many times, and I also think she should keep talking about crypto, but when it comes to crypto, she really doesn't understand it.

I disagree with her when she says the CB's can take bitcoin to zero at will. The only way to do that is to short it and your really can't short bitcoin. Not yet. That would require financial services to support bitcoin far more than they are now to the point where they can do naked shorts of bitcoin the same way they do naked shorts of gold and silver, or otherwise create a paper crypto market.

But what makes crypto different from metals is that it doesn't need banks to serve as clearing houses. Taking delivery of gold and silver is much less attractive than taking it with crypto as metals require actual delivery overhead, and any decision to have gold and silver reenter the market is also additional over head a seller must pay for, which is considered by anyone deciding to take delivery of metals. Not so with crypto.

Gold and silver are great, but the fact is they cannot serve as currency in our modern digital world. Digital dollars can, and crypto can, but not physical gold & silver. Yes I agree with Fitts that CB's want everyone hooked on a digital dollar, but I disagree that Bitcoin is some kind of gateway drug to the CB jail cell. Gold and silver do not threaten the CBs. They only serve as the bench mark by which to measure the failure of CBs. Crypto, on the other hand, threatens CB's directly by attacking their very purpose which is control of the currency supply. Of course CB's are threatened by free market crypto, but if it wasn't for free market crypto, CB's wouldn't even be bothering with digital versions of fiat.

So no, Bitcoin is not the bait to get people hooked on CB digital fiat. It's CB digital fiat which is the CB's attempt to counter the threat that free market crypto like bitcoin poses to them. And I think that effort will fail.

Gold

Remember that when FDR abrogated the gold standard, he forced people to turn in their gold at $20/oz. Then it was revalued to $35/oz. That was a tidy profit for the goons. The price keeps rising. Ft. Knos is empty except for the 90% pure gold from melted coins. The FED has taken physical possession of the gold. It is in sub basement of Federal Reserve Bank of New York. There was even a Die Hard flick made about that not so secret fact. ;)

I don't think he quite "forced" people to turn in gold in the sense than anyone who had any gold at all, in any form, had to turn it in.

Back then, gold & silver coins were in circulation. It was the currency. What FDR did was to effectively cancel the gold coinage. Banks simply stopped trading out the coins for the paper notes and released only the paper notes. Any gold coins they took in were passed up to the CB and in time, it was mostly removed from circulation. After that, yes, he revalued it to $35/oz, but the average person wouldn't have felt that as they were still trading their paper money around at face fiat value.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but people with gold jewelry and whatever other objects were not required to turn that in. Yes there was a lawful penalty for hiding gold coins away, but most people probably just kept spending it -- as much as they could at the peak of the depression -- and eventually it made it's way to the banks.

Obviously it was a grand theft, however.

It would be interesting to see exactly how much compliance there was -- no doubt something exists on it somewhere, maybe even in govt documents of the period.

There's a notion in my head that historical gold coins are now -- ironically enuff -- off limits as wealth in asset seizures, unless you're somebody famous they're trying to make an example of (Robert Clarkson, Edgar Steele, 'Paul Revere'). And bullion coins are fair game? Maybe I dreamed it.

FDR's contributors began buying up $20 gold coins en masse after election day. They shipped them to Europe and sold them for $35 each for a 75% return after Franklin Delano van Rosenfeld devalued the dollar.

sold them for $35

If you had any of the pre 1965 90% silver coins and tried to spend them you would still only get face value for those coins. Why would gold coins be any different?

Besides that the $35 per ounce price was for bullion. The couns were only 90% gold. ;)

Their face value was $20 before devaluation and $35 after. They could have melted them down. But as collector's items that are more valuable than coin melt.

Silver coins were 90% silver and 10% copper. Not sure about gold. Gold Eagles are nearly pure gold. Canadians put copper in their gold Maple Leaf coins which is why they are so ugly and unpopular.

Brief Background on the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coins

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was first issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979. The coins were more than just the second gold bullion coins introduced for private investment, but also became the first-ever .9999 pure gold (24-karat) coins in the world when the mint increased gold purity in the coins in November 1982. Even to this day, few other gold bullion coins are available with 24-karat gold content.

My note: The $50 American Buffalo is our only "pure" gold coin.

But don't forget why they started issuing Maple Leafs: the lynching fever against South Africa was white hot and Canada signaled 'em some virtue by hatching a competitor to the popular Krugerrand.

Kruggerrand

Putin was offering free land for anyone with $100,000 as a stake to get started. Around 10,000 Boer farmers from South Africa decided to take him up on the offer. ;)

That's wonderful news -- it seems miraculous that they were able to take any money withem. Wish all the farmers would desert like in Zumbobwee leaving the rotten racist regime begging them to come back. Wonder if Uncle Sugar still gives Zoombibway millions of dollars to save their communist faces and keep the people enslaved.
