ABC | Cryptocurrency backed by gold being developed by Perth Mint to entice investors back to precious metals An interesting combination of the oldest and the newest.

Re: Bitcoin
If you want to bet on the cryptocurrency market without dealing with its volatility. Buy Nvidia. NVidia cards are dumb expensive because of Ethereum mining. And Crypto is merely a side venture for them, they aren't even focused on it. NVidia has contracts with Hyundai, Volkswagen, Uber and Baidu for...

Re: The end of dollar hedgemoney.
The Zero Sum way this is talked about generally just tells us nothing. It isn't so much about China replacing America, as much as Unipolar World Theory going away.

Re: Bitcoin
Indeed, but the reality is that we have a liquidity trap where the dollar is being captured by rent seekers and not flowing to lower levels because those lower levels are losing the value of their labor due to increases in the efficiency of automation. well the problem is that everyone is a rent se...

The end of dollar hegemony
As I have been playing with Cryptocurrency I can't help but see the end of dollar hegemony. Not that I think the dollar will simply vanish, or even necessarily crash (it might though) it just seems like the dollar's domination of finance is over. Europe’s central banks are starting to replace dollar...

Passing interest in the companies using DAGs instead of Blockchain. What companies are doing this? This strikes me as incredibly inefficient way to create an electronic medium of exchange. Printing paper money or standard electronic transactions are far more energy and cost efficient. Indeed, but t...

My take on this is that absent government intervention, and thus far, and foreseably through the Trump era, the SEC is pretty ...

One of the funny things is listening to all the Trump supporters talking about how great the economy is in Obama's final fiscal year. They love Obama when they think it's a white man.
