Have Fiat Money, Will Tyrannize
Authored by George Ford Smith via The Mises Institute,
“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you. Ask instead what your country has been doing to you and is likely to keep doing to you for as long as it can buy with fiat money the votes of a majority.”
- Gary North, “History Revisionism - High Priests of Woodrow Wilson's Covenant”
Gary North's article focuses mostly on Woodrow Wilson's influence on the inaugural addresses of Eisenhower and Kennedy and their meaning in the world of 2008. As he observed, we have had “one long war since 1917,” with Fed fiat money playing an indispensable supporting role.
Everything the government does costs money, and it produces nothing with which to acquire it. For 2025, it coerced a total of $5.4 trillion from taxpayers and dollar-holders but ended up spending $7 trillion, producing a “rolling” deficit of $1.7 trillion. The biggest fights have always been over whose ox gets gored to fund ...

Warum Gold rennt und Bitcoin zuschaut: Wieso der Markt gerade wieder "normal" wird. Bitcoin: weder Safe Haven noch Risiko-Asset! (BRN)
|
|
|
Peter Heinrich spricht mit Mirco Recksiek, Gründer von Bitcoin2Go, über den Krypto-Markt nach dem "Trump-Hype". Sein Befund: In den USA ist zwar etwas in Bewegung, profitiert haben aber vor allem Trump und seine Familie, samt Meme-Coins, die inzwischen deutlich gefallen sind. Für Bitcoin sieht Recksiek trotzdem eine bessere Ausgangslage, nur: Der Reifeprozess dauert. Der Realitätscheck zu Gold und Silber: aktuell kaum eine Korrelation. Bitcoin ist damit weder als "digitales Gold" wahrgenommen noch ein klassisches Risiko-Asset. Ein Wertspeicher wird Bitcoin nur, wenn Menschen es so akzeptieren. Gold brauchte dafür Jahrtausende, Bitcoin erst 17 Jahre. Zur Nachfrage: ETFs senden ein Signal, doch Kleinanleger bleiben aus. Viel kommt von Hebel-Tradern. Seine Trennung: Bitcoin als begrenztes Geld-Asset, Tokens oft nur ein "Anteilgefühl". Das Big Picture bleibt makro: wachsende Geldmenge, Inflation und der schleichende Wertverlust von Fiat-Währungen....

De-Dollarization? Gold Over Debt - The End Of The Keynesian Paper Promise Mirage
Authored by Daniel Lacalle,
Despite the consensus narrative, what we are currently experiencing globally is not “de‑dollarization,” but a broad loss of confidence in developed economies' fiat currencies and sovereign debt as a reserve asset for central banks and institutions. This fundamental loss of confidence in the solvency of developed economies' sovereign issuers is boosting demand for gold.
However, the latest data shows no crossover or fiat alternative substitution. The US dollar's central role in the fiat system remains intact.
Gold over debt: the key shift
MMT supporters state that monetary sovereign nations can issue all the debt they want without inflationary and confidence risk. However, monetary sovereignty is not a given; it is not perennial and governments face three limitations when it comes to issuing debt. Domestic and global confidence in sovereign issuers begins to decline once they s...
