When I travel, I love to observe common ground in a sea of diversity.
The planet has over 100 currencies, but there's one thing that everyone agrees is money: gold.
So far, COVID-19 has killed 200,000, which has added to the 5 million deaths that we suffer from communicable diseases every year.
COVID-19 has also killed the global economy.
The travel industry has shut down.
The stock market is in tatters.
The prices of panic assets (gold and bitcoin) have soared.
Few are talking about a recession.
We're on the edge of a depression.
Therefore, we're taking a breaking from talking about travel and focusing on universal money: gold.
I talk with a renowned gold researcher, Jan Nieuwenhuijs.
We discuss:
- Whether gold's stock-to-flow ratio helps determine gold's price.
- What he thinks of bitcoin using the stock-to-flow to predict bitcoin's price.
- Why he bought bitcoin for $25 and why he sold it in 2017.
- What he thinks of asteroid mining.
- How do buy and store gold safely and effectively.
In the episode, he wasn't able to give me a list of options of where you can buy gold. Wikipedia lists the world's top bullion dealers.
Learn more about Jan at Voima Gold and Twitter.
Jan wrote several fascinating articles:
- Gold: Supply and Demand Dynamics.
- Why you should not buy the GLD Gold ETF to get exposure to gold.
- What's an SDR and its future?
- The coming gold standard.
