OK. But at some point one has to sell the silver...? For currency?

You have to learn how to trade it AND hold some physical.

Silver to 1200 by May

Energy Unlimited's (which manufactures New World Replicators) CEO Goldmember says, "I like Gooooold, I like Silver. I sell Gooooold, I sell Silver. I buy low, I sell high. I'm Saved. You'll never know where it's buried."

Arctic Billybob says, "I hunt and gather because I can."

Thank you for your clearly written article - nothing really new but good to be reminded and see it from yet another perspective.

Do I understand correctly you'd advice against crypto? Or play the game for one more round to optimise "cash" till 2029 and the convert into real world asset

Looking forward to your next article and golden nuggets.

Thanks Cedric. I appreciate that. 😉

It depends. The stablecoins will be used in the new system.

RLUSD, Tether (USDT), USDC, etc.

And CBDCs like the digital euro, etc.

They are all backed by physical assets: gold, silver — and US Treasuries (lol). The latter is how they plan to create more demand for future Treasuries.

XRP may or may not do what people think it will. It can't hurt to hold some for some upside when the system switches, but I would not invest the bulk of my money into it. Peter Thiel funded Ripple and XRP back in 2013. See how that works?

We don't know how it all shakes out in the end.

Bitcoin is an intelligence services operation. It was never organic. It was designed to create the false organic sense, an artificial uptaking of digital currency. A false grassroots movement. In other words, social programming. That's why nobody knows who the creator is... because it's the military industrial complex.

It's a financial weapon. What they have planned for Bitcoin is anyone's guess.

In the end, they may crash it down hard.

I would go with physical gold and silver. That's the only hedge against currency devaluation and hyper inflation.

Now, if you want to trade crypto, that's another story, but that's not my game. If you want to ride it up one more time, data says the next major bottom is the end of 2026 or early 2027. It can still set a new high before then, $180K(?) as it's only shed 40% from its ATM, and not 80% per the 4-year cycle.

Hi Michael,

Yeah this kinda confirms my own insights, one last run probably before everything resets.

Are there any countries where this will have less impact? Or is it a full global roll-out? As far as you guess of course.

Michael Logan 🐦‍🔥's avatar

This is worldwide.

I think the markets for the next two years will be very volatile but silver and gold will most definitely trend upward even with banks smashing prices every $50-$100 leaps for silver. So maybe every 4-8 months which is just my intuition based on the timing. It will become less predictable and more erratic.

It will be a global digital monetary system but each country / zone has its own roll-out timeline even though they are most certainly coordinated.

They walk in lock-step just like all the global central banks — even if they make it look like friends and foes. The digital euro goes live in 2027 with a phased roll-out. Full adoption is expected by 2029. By then it's too late.

The US will focus on stablecoins like Tether (USDT), USDC and RLUSD — Ripple's stablecoin. China already has digital payments via facial recognition.

I would recommend moving to a low-cost country that grows most of its own food. Spain is a good option, and even though it's EU, they are Europe's greenhouse. Look at the greenhouses in Almeria and Murcia — you can see the sea of plastic with satellite images. There will never be a shortage of food here unless there is war.

My recommendation for people with conscious awareness, coherence and balls is the following:

- Sell your house ASAP to cash in on the peak value.

- Buy physical gold and silver (http://bullionvault.com)

- Learn to trade silver and gold.

- Roll your 401(k) into an IRA (https://www.itrustcapital.com/— invest in XAG & XAU

- Buy property in a low-cost country (Asia, LatAm).

- Learn real-world life skills: off-grid living, basic wilderness first-aid, farming, permaculture, cheese-making, food preservation, cooking, carpentry, construction, tree work, plumbing, electrical.

- Be handy with building materials (look into Earthship and passive solar designs)

- Know how to harvest rain water and filter it — there are many methods.

There is still time to make some meaningful changes.

Don’t wait until the last possible moment.

What about investing in things like commitment pools like what grassroots economics is helping communities to develop…localizing our economies in practical ways?

Michael Logan 🐦‍🔥's avatar

These things matter, indeed. But first and foremost comes the inner work:

1 // Individuation (shadow integration)

2 // Sovereignty (radical empowerment)

3 // Deprogramming (malware removal)

Otherwise, it’s putting the cart before the horse. I’ve experienced it time and again with holistic, spiritual and intentional communities along with Western Zen centers where they are still indoctrinated into the false light, false transcendence matrix and live in fantastical delusion.

Fragmented, disintegrated psyches seek out doctrines and outside savior programs.

Once people have truly broken the spell, they can engage in local community economics. But understand, fiat still underlies everything unless you have hard assets like gold and silver for trade and barter.

Off-grid permaculture and community food gardens are a big part of it.

But if the inner work has not been done, the Ego will destroy all the material work as the house cannot be built on a false foundation. I’ve seen it happen firsthand, time and again, with the aforementioned places.

Eventually, they all fall apart in various ways and fail. A shared physical space alone does not constitute a real thriving community.

Everyone living in their own separate Earthship pod is not the answer.

Hope that makes sense. 🙏🏻

But when TSHTF, will we really be better off on a piece of land where you can just be easily raided?

We haven't even touched AI here (apart from its resource requirements). People will be replaced, but there won't be safety nets. Full-on Elysium. That doesn't bode well for living on a small plot of land, does it? Isn't that a bit of a romantic idea of getting away like that?

Michael Logan 🐦‍🔥's avatar

Your alternative is to do nothing. We all have choices to make.

We can read the tea leaves the best we can, but none of us know what the future for humanity as a collective holds.

We know there will be much difficulty over the next 20 years, but we don’t know how it ends.

One who is certain, is already trapped as they are not living in the present. 🎁

Hi…yes your response totally makes sense to me. I have seen much the same thing in many communities I have interacted with over the last 35 years of pattern reading. What I hear you speaking to is a different community than the type that I am speaking about. I am speaking about and for bioregionally based regenerative local economies. Economies that are inclusive of the land based people of place. those who have not experienced the complete severing of their ties to the land intergenerationally, these are people who know what it is and means to be interdependent on one another and the land.. these are the economies that are pointing us towards true security. and these are the economies we are inviting conscious wealth stewards like yourself and like myself and many many others need to realize are the safest investment. These are the economies that allow us to come together and re-member that true wealth lies between and among us. With the technology and multi-capital framework that Grassroots Economics has been developing….we are all better able to invest in true resiliency by investing in our places.

OMG yes and most people still are sleeping!!!!

Michael Logan 🐦‍🔥's avatar

Dead asleep and still wanting to argue all the points. Why bother when you don’t even understand how the world works? Might as well pack it in and go home. Call it a day, save your energy. Lol.

FYI, you're talking about 39T debt. It's worse. Much worse... Deep dive: https://no01.substack.com/p/the-good-the-bad-and-the-insolvent

You should correct this in your text: margin increases protect the exchange, and obliterates the shorts! Because they are loosing with every tick up. Adding more margin on top of that is... Kinda the opposite of protecting the shorts.

China: don't forget to add that China controls about 60% of REFINING! This is very important. Because you can have silver ore, but you want a bar? You've got to call uncle Xi.

And what to buy? My suggestion to your readers: https://no01.substack.com/p/what-physical-should-i-buy - go physical, don't stack in paper... Paper won't survive the coming tidal wave.

Thanks for your comment.

I clarified my verbiage by adding a qualifier, but I wasn't saying it protects the shorts. Quite the opposite. It protects the exchange. So we're saying the same thing. In terms of the "real" debt, I'm well aware of the off-book pension liabilities. Most people also don't understand this and it's confusing for them. They think that social security is an entitlement — like it's not a forced tax paid from their income that's returned to them interest-free after 50 years in debased monetary terms.

And great point about China controlling most of the refining of silver. Thanks for that, I've added it.

margin: Nice! The wording is unambiguous now 😉

Happy to have helped a bit.
