Is A Backdoor Gold Standard Coming?
Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times,
For decades, I've been vexed over a monetary issue. How can we transition from the present fiat money system to a sound-money standard like we once had in the United States and the world?
Clearly the gold standard was superior whereas we now have a fiat standard that has mired the world in debt and big government. A central-bank digital currency with programmable debt-based money and omnipresent surveillance is the dystopian nightmare of which many dream.
But this would pile calamity on top of disaster.
What we really need is the gold standard back. But how could it happen? There has never been a viable transition plan.
Rather, I've seen many such plans but they all have their limits. A clean redefinition of the dollar as a title for physical gold has huge transition problems and probable pricing chaos. We don't even know for sure how much gold the federal government owns now. President Trump had spoken of a...

Auto- und Nutzfahrzeugwerte starten eine kleine Rallye: Porsche über 5 %, BMW, Mercedes, VW und Daimler Truck deutlich im Plus. Hintergrund sind Trumps Pläne, die US-Abgasvorschriften zu lockern und das geplante Verbrenner-Aus zu entschärfen. Der DAX legt 0,8 % zu und schließt bei 23.882 Punkten, der EuroStoxx 50 gewinnt 0,6 % auf 5.727 Zähler.

CATL Breaks Ground on Joint Battery Plant in Spain
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) and Stellantis NV held a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday for a joint lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery factory in Spain's Aragon region. With a planned investment of 4.1 billion euros ($4.7 billion), the project is one of the largest Chinese investments in Spain to date and will run entirely on renewable energy, with production scheduled to begin by the end of 2026.
Chinese Miners Urged to Rethink Indonesia Playbook
Chinese mining companies should revise their Indonesia playbook, shifting from manic investment to more calculated, localized operations as the resource-rich nation tightens its grip on the nickel sector, according to industry insiders. Speaking at the 4th DBS Metals and Mining Indonesia Forum on Wednesday, Bo Shaochuan, a director at Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd., noted that while early capital inflows were largely trend-driven, the current landscape demands deeper consideration. As po...

Central Bankers Disagree About Gold
Authored by Vincent Cook via The Mises Institute,
With the fiat US dollar price of gold multiplied 2.6x since October of 2022 (as of October 20, 2025 when this was written) and rising exponentially (Figure 1), some people are deeply worried that something is seriously wrong with the dollar and with the global financial system generally. Is the soaring price of gold a sign of monetary instability? Or is it just a transitory “nothingburger”?
Figure 1: Gold spot price per troy ounce, most recent five years
Central bankers are now being asked such awkward questions, and they are giving sharply divergent answers. During a Q&A session at a convention of business economists on October 14, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell responded:
EMILY KOLINSKI MORRIS: You used the term gold standard. And you didn't mean it in this context that I'm going to pivot here, because there's a question from the audience that's getting a lot of upvotes. So, one of y...

"I Feel Safer Holding Gold": Vietnamese Govt Cracks Down On Hoarding
In the sweltering chaos of Hanoi, 67-year-old Le Thi Minh Tam is waging a desperate guerrilla war against vanishing stockpiles - scrambling from one gold shop to the next, only to find Soviet-style queues where the shiny salvation sells out faster than a central banker's excuses.
"I'm getting worried, as I still don't have enough," she tells Bloomberg, the weight of her son's impending nuptials crushing her, helped by the State Bank's iron fist.
“They don't sell gold bars anymore, only gold rings with a very limited amount for each customer.”
But as Bloomberg goes on to note, Tam's not some outlier in this fever dream; she's the face of a nationwide gold apocalypse triggered by the yellow metal's moonshot to $4,380 an ounce last month.
Vietnam, where gold isn't just bling but a cultural bunker against the fiat apocalypse - stashed under beds like contraband ammo for the next economic blitzkri...

Flush With Value: $10 Million 18-Karat Gold Toilet To Be Auctioned By Sothebys (ZeroHedge)

Flush With Value: $10 Million 18-Karat Gold Toilet To Be Auctioned By Sothebys
Here's a line we're certain we haven't written before: a second solid gold toilet — yes, actual sound money shaped like plumbing — is heading to auction after the first one was famously stolen.
In a financial era defined by fiat excess and central-bank hubris, nothing illustrates the absurd contrast between hard assets and paper wealth quite like this 18-karat masterpiece.
Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan created three fully functional golden toilets in 2016, according to the BBC. More than 100,000 people sat on the first one when it was installed at the Guggenheim. It later moved to Blenheim Palace, where thieves ripped out what the state valued at £4.8 million — a theft that showed the timeless rule: criminals prefer gold to currency. Several men were ultimately convicted for the 2019 heist.
BBC writes that the existence of a second version has been confirmed, and it will soon go under the ha...
