Don’t Keep Your Gold and Silver in the US, Says Marc Faber

Posted on by

“‘My view would be that we have already printed so much money, and to accelerate it will be bringing about numerous other problems, so my time frame is that the [bubble], maximum, will burst in three years’ time.’ [..] ‘I don’t think that anything is very cheap, but if I have to compare different asset prices, say real estate, stocks, bonds, commodities, gold, art, and so forth—and old cars—then I think that gold and silver [are] relatively inexpensive because they have had big corrections already, and you should not forget that the global bond market now is over $100 trillion.'”

Sean’s Outpost Under Attack on Birthday

Posted on by

“In one year, we have fed 60,000 meals to the homeless people in the Pensacola area, secured a nine acre property with plans to open a campground for those in need of a safe area to stay, and opened a thrift store all through Bitcoin donations. Unfortunately, we are under attack by the City of Pensacola and the Board of County Commissioners for doing the right thing. The city and county have repeatedly stood in our way and hindered our efforts through trumped up citations and now with no prior notice, the Escambia Board of County Commissioners authorized the county attorney to file an injunction on Sean’s Outpost. This was passed with a 3-0 ‘vote’ with commissioners absent.”

Gov. Christie Blames Regulators He Appointed for Tesla Sales Ban

Posted on by

“New Jersey’s eight-member Motor Vehicle Commission, made up of members of Christie’s cabinet and others appointed by the Republican governor, voted unanimously March 11 to block Tesla from direct sales.  The Palo Alto, California-based automaker is battling car dealers state by state who want sales to go through them.  Dealers in Ohio, New York, Minnesota, Georgia and elsewhere have argued that independent retailers are better for shoppers and vehicle owners.  The New Jersey panel voted unanimously to require that all new vehicle sales go through franchised retail dealers. Christie said his administration had tried to work with the company.”

The stats below were gathered between 2 a.m. and noon local time in Turkey, and are based on a sample of geolocated tweets.”

Jeff Berwick: Bitcoin Is Equivalent to the Internet in 1993

Posted on by

“Perception of Bitcoin now is like of the Internet in 1993. Mt Gox, Tesla and the free market. US government pressuring foreign governments making it harder to get foreign citizenship. Staggering fraud in the banking sector and banker suicides. Crazy Keynsian thinking. Russia and China more free market than the West. Disaster brewing for the West. The move into precious metals stocks.”

Massachusetts regulators warn about bitcoin as ATM opens

Posted on by

“Massachusetts regulators issued a strongly worded warning Tuesday about the risks of the virtual currency known as bitcoin after the opening of the second ATM-like kiosk in the Boston area that make it easier for people to buy it.  On Monday, the second bitcoin ATM in Massachusetts — and apparently just the fourth in the country — opened at the Clover Food Lab restaurant in Harvard Square. The company that installed and operates the machine, Liberty Teller of Boston, placed its first kiosk at South Station in Boston in February.  So far, a handful of Boston-area restaurants and retailers accept the currency, whose value is determined by supply and demand.”

Top Treasury Official Sees No Widespread Criminal Bitcoin Use

Posted on by

“‘Terrorists generally need ‘real’ currency, not virtual currency, to pay their expenses -– such as salaries, bribes, weapons, travel, and safe houses,’ David S. Cohen, the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.  Cohen said that some virtual currency companies haven’t registered with Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a requirement established in March 2013, and aren’t following record keeping and reporting requirements.  The Treasury Department’s Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group will include a member of the virtual-currency community to help make regulations ‘better informed and more effective,’ Cohen said, without saying who it will be.”
