In Commodities, The Cure for High Prices is High Prices

A big difference between Physical Gold and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin has a hard cap on its supply of 21 million Bitcoins. As the gold discoveries below suggest, there is no hard cap on the supply of Physical Gold.  

Our plan with Gold is to slowly harvest profits from Gold miners and rotate into Copper & Silver Miners and Bitcoin. Bitcoin because of its hard cap and growing adoption by governments and institutions. We like Silver and Copper because of its demand for the re-industrialization of industry in America and the need to rebuild the USA grid system. In addition, demand for copper and silver for use in Solar, Robotics, Electronics and Auto industries is large and growing. Regulatory approval time to bring on new supplies of copper is longer than for gold.  Continue reading

How Bitcoin Price links to Human Interest / Fear Then Apathy Then Greed

Technology changes but the Human Condition never changers 😊

Success in life is as simple as
1) knowing what patterns, you are looking for
2) recognizing patterns before others – AI makes this easier, but you still need to know what pattern you are looking for. To keep things interesting, there are multiple successful patterns. They rotate over time. Conclusion, is there is no one single successful pattern as “the constant.”

The First Baseline Truth of Investing:
Human Behavior is the most consistent of all patterns. We are programs to fight or run when threatened. Most of us choose to run. It is hardwired into us for our survival. The trading markets are counter intuitive. Success in the market is watching for fear, starting to buy in late apathy stage and early greed stage. Continue reading
