Warren Buffett openly admitted his biggest fear: currency debasement. “We wouldn’t want to be holding anything in a currency that’s going to hell.” Let that sink in, because Berkshire is sitting on hundreds of billions in cash, largely parked in U.S. Treasuries. Treasuries are not “risk-free” in a debasement...

“There is further upside in gold over the medium term due to the currency debasement trade underway” says Neelkanth Mishra , Chief Economist at Axis Bank Neelkanth Mishra Factors ranging from geopolitical tensions to the prospect of lower interest rates to free-spending global governments are pushing the “currency debasement” trade. The debasement trade is a bet that government borrowing and money printing will erode the value of the U.S. dollar, so investors are shifting cash into assets like gold, crypto, stocks and real estate that can hold their value.

Kevin Warsh killed the debasement trade and gold, silver, and Bitcoin are all paying the price "The crypto market cheered when Trump picked a Bitcoin-friendly Fed chair. Then he scrapped the rate cuts and basically debased the bull case for Bitcoin, but more specifically for gold and silver" "The assets people were buying to hedge against debasement are no longer in favor. And that is gold and silver. And at least for narrative purposes we would like to think Bitcoin was part of that trade" "That is not how the market has been pricing it. If the debasement trade narrative completely disappears that could be problematic for markets in general"

We need to talk about money — what it is, how it works, and what its value is. When it comes to gold, some people view it as a commodity to speculate on. But it’s so much more than that. It’s the second largest reserve currency in the world. And it’s an important hedge against risks to fiat currencies.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio just told Tucker Carlson that every investor should be holding up to 15% of their portfolio in Gold to protect themselves from currency devaluation, central bank digital currencies and inflation. If gold is going to account for 15% of global assets, we are going to see the greatest bull market the world has ever seen.

✅RLUSD ✅RLJPY ✅RLGBP. I’m still waiting for RLEUR and RLCNY Ripple will not house the worlds stablecoins, but rather only house RESERVE assets. Ripple is focused on wholesale money. Once these new Ripple stablecoins are created the eSDR (IMF currency) can exist! Each currency is allotted a weight (%) in this basket of currency. No! XRP is not an eSDR, but rather the asset that allows that currency to transfer value.

Online you’ll hear, “Women’s sexuality is their only agency.” Here’s the truth: Men are the main consumers of female based content. And sex appeal is what men value. Attention is currency. That’s the marketplace. If you choose to be sexy online, understand the consequence of being online. Men will reward what they value. It’s not that a woman can’t be sexy and intelligent, It’s that intellect isn’t valued by the mainstream media. So don’t be shocked when your “mind” gets ignored… and your body is the only thing valuable to them. That’s supply and demand. But here’s the part no one tells woman. Just because something isn’t valued by the masses, doesn’t mean it’s not valued. Ignore the status quo’s Be sexy and intelligent. Own both, but you’re more than a body in a thumbnail. Post your ideas. Even if you 0 likes. Because long term respect is built on substance, in real life. Not online. This is why social media isn’t real life.

🚨Afshin Rattansi: BRICS Is BETTING on Gold And the Western Financial System Has No Answer to That. 'Jim Rickards was talking about the fact that everything comes down to gold, which, of course, is great for India. As he said, no central bank has the gold reserves that Indian families hold privately in their homes. Surely, they will still be buying gold rather than any particular BRICS currency. But then again, the BRICS currency could somehow be tied to gold in a way that NATO nation currencies are not.'

Dear Pioneers, Today, I decided to share this message with you because when I searched online, I noticed something very important. Many exchange markets already know that the Pi Network has GCV — Global Consensus Value. They even acknowledge that this value is community-driven. But they say it is not official, because it has not been formally endorsed by CT. Also we still have a lot of pioneers never deeply understand white paper. They always use market cap to deny GCV. All the above is because they assume Pi is another traditional crypto currency. This made me think. Not only outsiders, but even some of our own pioneers still hesitate or doubt GCV. Why? Because they don’t fully understand the concept difference between traditional crypto and Pi Network. So today, I want to make it very clear for everyone: what is value, and what is price? Most traditional cryptocurrency analysts talk about is price. They see supply and demand, market cap, and speculation. For them, cryptocurrency is just an investment, like buying a stock. In accounting, this makes crypto look like an asset — something you buy and sell at a price. But if you carefully read the Pi white paper, you will see the true vision of Dr. Nicolas. He created Pi Network because he regretted how traditional cryptocurrencies were being used. Blockchain, instead of serving humanity, became only a tool for speculation. Coins were bought and sold, but they failed to bring real value to ordinary people and to our global economy. For years, crypto has been stuck in this loop of speculation. That is why Pi Network was born. Pi is not designed to follow the same path as traditional cryptocurrencies. Its destination is not simply to be listed on exchanges. Current exchange market is the landscape on the road. It is not Pi Network destination. We already have thousands of tokens there. What we truly need is a real currency — one that can resolve economic crises, restore fairness, and bring opportunity to ordinary people. Now let’s ask: what is currency? If you search, you will find a simple definition: currency is a medium of exchange. And for any exchange medium to work, it requires consensus among the users. Everyone must agree on its value before it can be used in the economy. That is how fiat money works. A $1 bill and a $100 bill cost the same to print. The paper and ink are nearly identical. But because the government endorses it, people trust and accept it different value on the paper bill. That trust gives fiat money its power. Yet even fiat money is not always stable. In many countries, we see devaluation and inflation. The value of government money is not guaranteed but still much stable than traditional cryptocurrency. Traditional cryptocurrencies are unstable — their price rises and falls daily, driven by speculation. It can change 100% in one day. But our FIAT inflation is less than 10% in one year normally. This is why Pi Network GCV is so important. We have the opportunity to create a new kind of currency: one that is long-term stable, resistant to inflation, efficient for international settlement, and much cheaper in transfer costs. With Pi, transactions can be faster, fairer, and useful in daily life. A medium of exchange for payments, A store of value to protect wealth, And a unit of account for settlement. This is what Pi is becoming. But here is something very important to understand: the consensus of Pi does not come from the Core Team. If the Core Team could set the value, they would have done so three years ago. There is no reason tell pioneers that the value is from pioneers but they give us another value. CT cannot give us a value or reject pioneers created value— because value is not given by CT, it is created by pioneers community consensus. Our pioneering community has been working tirelessly for over three years. Every day, we generate GCV data. We also have the Industrial Alliance, where businesses and industries are beginning to adopt Pi at GCV in real supply chains. Some people believe that GCV is impossible because it may lead to business bankruptcy. However, this is a misconception. A business faces bankruptcy when its value cannot be stabilized, regardless of whether Pi is valued at $1, $10, or $100 or GCV. Significant fluctuations can cause businesses to fail; in contrast, as long as there is stability, GCV will not put businesses at risk, provided that everyone accepts it. This stability ensures that purchasing power remains consistent. Additionally, it's important to note that 100 billion Pi is not intended for use within a single year; rather, it is meant to last for centuries or even thousands of years. Therefore, there is no need to worry that we lack sufficient assets.Remember, a real currency must serve three functions: We don’t need the Core Team to endorse Pi’s value. GCV official authority is pioneers not CT. What we need is more businesses and more pioneers to accept it. Think about it: in the past, some villages used shells as money. Why? Because a cow was too big to trade for five chickens or other products. Shells were easier, and as long as everyone in the village agreed Pi had fixed value. It can be the village currency. The same is true for Pi. We have more than 60 million pioneers. If we all accept it, and businesses accept it too, then that is Pi’s true value. What makes this so special is that we are not only the users, we are also the creators. This is true decentralization. The power belongs to us. So I hope every pioneer can deeply understand this concept. Don’t doubt, but believe with confidence. What must we do now? Accept Pi in our daily lives. Share correct information and educate others. Promote GCV. Invite more merchants to join. Even though Pi is not yet fully open, businesses can already accept Pi partially — 5%, 10%, 20%, even 50% of a payment. It doesn’t matter. Every transaction, every piece of GCV data, strengthens Pi as a currency. So business don't have any loss or risk. It can only increase their reputation and sales especially now most business bankrupt because of stagflation. Our strategy can save a lot of business. So let us remember: Price belongs to assets. Value belongs to currency. And consensus belongs to pioneers. We already have the victory, because value is in our hands. Together, we will win. In fact, we have already won. Thank you.

Finance moves trillions every day. But ownership? Still slow. Paperwork. Intermediaries. Delays. A system built on trust but slowed by structure. In a digital world, value moves instantly. Ownership doesn’t. That creates friction. Limits access. Slows global capital. So what if ownership could move like value? Structured. Transferable. On-chain. That’s where Real comes in. A blockchain built for real-world assets where ownership is programmable, risk is integrated, and settlement is reimagined. Not just digitizing assets. Rebuilding the system around them. Because the future of finance isn’t just about moving value It’s about moving ownership.

If your returns aren't beating 11% a year, you're getting poorer. Global liquidity grows about 8% a year. That's the money supply expanding, and it means the value of the cash in your pocket falls by roughly that much every year. Add maybe 3% of normal inflation on top and you get to an 11% hurdle. Most people think if they've beaten inflation they're fine. They haven't. Inflation and debasement aren't the same thing. Inflation is your money losing value against goods... rent, groceries, fuel. Debasement is your money losing value against assets... property, stocks, the things that actually build wealth. You have to clear both. This is the real reason the rich get richer and everyone else falls behind. One side owns the assets. The other side is holding a melting ice cube.

2-25-26 The Truth Behind Brazil’s 12% Yield A 12% yield is not a gift — it’s a warning sign. This is the classic mistake of chasing yield. If something pays dramatically more than the risk-free rate (the U.S. Treasury), it’s compensating you for meaningful uncertainty: credit risk, default risk, currency volatility, and geopolitical instability. In this short video, I break down whether Brazilian treasuries yielding over 12% are actually worth buying, the difference between ETFs and individual bonds, and the real risks hiding behind that headline number. $EWZ $BRAZ $ILF If you like this video, please ❤️like and 🔁retweet

Warren Buffett was asked if Berkshire’s purchase of $AMZN (2019 at $89) was a departure from value investing. His answer cuts straight to the heart of what value investing actually means: “The idea that value is somehow connected to book value or low price to earnings ratios or anything, as Charlie has said all investing is value investing. You’re putting out money now to get more later — and making a calculation on the probability of getting it, and when.” ___ Buffett dismantles one of the most common misconceptions in investing. Value investing was never about low price-to-book ratios or cheap multiples. That’s a methodology — not a definition. The definition is simple: you’re paying a price today for a stream of future cash flows, and you’re asking whether you’re being adequately compensated. The label “value” vs. “growth” has always been a false dichotomy. All intelligent investing is value investing. ___ 🎙️ Berkshire 2019 Annual Meeting | CNBC Warren Buffett Archive (05/04/2019)

The next time you hear someone use the term "fiat currency" and mean it unironically, just ignore them. They have no clue what they're talking about. We haven't used fiat currency in any meaningful way in a hundred years, longer. There is no fractional reserve lending. If you don't even know what money is, how can you claim that you're replacing it? But in order to justify why #BTC keeps going up in price (not usage, just price), they've concocted this fairy tale that the dollar is "being debased" because otherwise they'd have to admit it's only going up because it's a NASDAQ stock. BTC isn't money, it's a tradeable portfolio asset just like Nvidia. Nothing more. And there's nothing wrong with that. BTC and the Euro$ are completely different worlds. BTC doesn't compete with "the dollar", it competes with AI bubble stocks - and therefore trades a lot like them, if you haven't noticed. This is one of those times when the truth is impossible to ignore - "dollar debasement" is being debased not the Euro$. AGAIN.

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards: 'China🇨🇳 Is SELLING US🇺🇸 Treasuries to Protect Its Own Currency and Banks.' 'The Chinese holdings of US Treasury securities are publicly available. The United States Treasury produces a monthly report and you can see exactly what is going down. It has been going down a little, not massively. Yes, they have been selling Treasuries. They are selling Treasuries because they are desperate for dollars. People talk about the dollar as a reserve currency. There are no reserve currencies. There are reserve assets denominated in a currency. The reserve assets are US Treasury securities. They are using that cash to prop up their own currency and to bail out their banks, which have dollar loans going into default.' — Former Pentagon Advisor and Guest Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, James Rickards joins us for the next episode of New Order on Sunday Catch the full interview on Sunday’s episode of New Order Don’t miss it, follow us on X and follow our Rumble channel, reply to it Scheduled livestream link 👇

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards: 'China🇨🇳 Is SELLING US🇺🇸 Treasuries to Protect Its Own Currency and Banks.' 'The Chinese holdings of US Treasury securities are publicly available. The United States Treasury produces a monthly report and you can see exactly what is going down. It has been going down a little, not massively. Yes, they have been selling Treasuries. They are selling Treasuries because they are desperate for dollars. People talk about the dollar as a reserve currency. There are no reserve currencies. There are reserve assets denominated in a currency. The reserve assets are US Treasury securities.

This is what a neutral bridge asset solves. No country is required to trust the de facto USD as the bridge currency. The USD becomes a bridge currency, not the bridge currency. Same for the euro and yuan. BRICS can conduct business outside of the USD; however, should they need to settle with a U.S. institution, a European institution, or another currency bloc, neither side has to make the other’s sovereign currency the intermediary. That is the point of a neutral bridge asset. USD - XRP - Yuan. Yuan - XRP - Real. Real - XRP - Euro. The currencies remain sovereign. The monetary systems remain sovereign. The bridge does not. This isn’t necessarily “de-dollarization.” It is de-intermediation of the settlement layer by removing the requirement that one nation’s currency sit in the middle of everyone else’s trade. (Mitigating the triffin dilemma.) A multipolar monetary system doesn’t require one currency to defeat another. It requires a neutral mechanism capable of transferring value between them. That is the problem XRP was designed to solve.

Yes, we’re in a bear market. The question isn’t if — it’s how long. Every cycle has the permanent naysayers chanting “it’s over.” But look deeper. If this were pure currency debasement panic, Bitcoin should be flying. Instead, the 60-year-olds who control most institutional capital are buying gold and silver. That’s the demographic tension. Crypto is still young money. Old money moves slower. I’ve lived through nine bear markets — when everyone is loudly bearish, they’re usually under-invested. And bear markets tend to end when sentiment is at its ugliest. Cycles don’t die from fear. They die from exhaustion — and we’re getting close.

In a trade war, SIZE MATTERS — and the U.S. economy has the upper hand. People keep asking me, “What if China sells off U.S. Treasuries?” My response? Go ahead. Because here’s the reality: when hundreds of thousands of jobs are at risk in China, the pressure doesn’t land on the U.S., it lands straight on Xi Jinping’s desk. This isn’t a war of bombs. It’s a war of economics. And in that battle? Money talks. Everything else is just noise. If we hit back with 25%… 400% tariffs… AND shut down the markets? You’ll see how quickly the conversation moves to Geneva. That’s how leverage works.
