A New Type of Fighter Bonus The UFC has started paying fan bonuses to its fighters in Bitcoin. The UFC buys crypto at a fixed dollar amount and pays their fighters a bonus in cryptocurrency. As someone who loves the UFC and monetary economics, I wanted to offer an alternative solution to the UFC and its athletes. The Problems with Crypto This takedown of crypto will focus on the speculative aspect of cryptocurrencies. Crypto’s greatest draw is also its fatal flaw....

We’re the first to admit that investing in gold can be pretty boring. Don’t get us wrong, when you first decide to buy gold then the newness of it is exciting, as you choose which gold bullion dealer to use then it is interesting and when you actually see the gold bars or coins appear in your account then it’s really exciting. But then what? There aren’t any major price moves, it’s not like you see any huge crashes or major leaps to keep you on your toes, not like...

Precious metals markets continued rallying this week. Investors weighed new inflation data showing price pressures in the economy are finally slowing. Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index report came in slightly lower than expected for a change. The CPI rose 8.5% on an annualized basis in July. Normally such a reading would be nothing to cheer about. But the fact that the inflation rate finally came down a tad after months and months of relentless increases gave Joe...

When people ask why they should invest in gold or buy silver coins, we often explain that they should do so because they are a form of insurance. Many of us are taking steps right now to protect ourselves from the impact of inflation on our day-to-day spending, others are trying to manage the increase in interest rates and maybe you are preparing your home so your energy bills won’t be impossible to manage. These are all ways of insuring ourselves against major...

Wer die Geschichte nicht kennt, wiederholt ihre Fehler. Wer sie kennt, muss zusehen, wie die anderen [jene, die die Geschichte nicht kennen] die Fehler von Früher wiederholen. Es ist kaum auszuhalten. Täglich werden die vom Mainstream-abhängigen Leute mit Lügen, einseitigen Narrativen, unvollständigen Berichten und salbenden Worten in einer Blase der Wirklichkeit gehüllt, wie sie schon Truman Burbank in “The Truman Show” vorgesetzt wurde. Ich werde ein paar Fragen...

Author and investments editor Peter Krauth joins Dave Russell on GoldCore TV to discuss the silver price, silver’s future and how industrial demand will continue to grow, outstripping supply.

The coin which helped win the gold vs bitcoin debate at the Soho Forum Photo credit: the author It’s pretty, isn’t it? Gold, Liquid Gold, and Inflation Gold has a unique appearance. It is also astonishingly heavy—much heavier than it has any right to be. It’s just an inch and a quarter in diameter yet weighs 0.075 pounds. Everyone should hold one in his hand (and own a few). But that’s not why many gold analysts today are saying you should buy gold. They are saying...

With last week’s second 75 basis-point rate hike, the Federal Reserve now claims it has achieved a “neutral” monetary policy stance. That would mean, in theory, that interest rates are neither stimulating nor restraining the economy. “Now that we’re at neutral, as the process goes on, at some point, it will be appropriate to slow down,” Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said. Powell was effectively telling markets he intends to pivot away from inflation fighting. Yet...
