This article anticipates the end of the fiat currency regime and argues why its replacement can only be gold and silver, most likely in the form of fiat money turned into gold substitutes.

It explains why the current fashion for cryptocurrencies, led by bitcoin, are unsuited as future mediums of exchange, and why unsuppressed bitcoin has responded more immediately to the current situation than gold. Furthermore, the US authorities are likely to suppress the bitcoin movement because it is a threat to the dollar and monetary policy.

Great Bear Provides Detailed New Sections
and Drills Near-Surface High-Grade Gold
at LP Fault: 13.38 g/t over 18.15 Meters

Company Announcement
Monday, February 8, 2021

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Great Bear Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today reported results from its ongoing 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Chris Taylor, president and CEO of Great Bear, said, "In this release we provide highly detailed individual assay level data from shallow drill holes on one cross section at three different scales. With tighter drilling we have observed the same exceptional gold zone continuity at 25-metre drill spacing, both along strike and vertically, as we previously observed at 100–200 metre spacing.

All this drilling is within the same continuous gold zone along more than 4 kilometres of strike length, which remains open to extension in all directions, and is present from bedrock surface.” ...

This article explains why growth in Gross Domestic Product represents growth in the quantity of money and is not representative of activity in the underlying economy. The authorities' monetary response to the current economic situation is ill-informed, based on a misunderstanding of what GDP represents.

The common belief in the fund management community that rising interest rates are bad for gold exposes a lack of understanding about the consequences of monetary inflation on relative time preferences. Rising interest rates will be with us shortly, and they will burst the bond bubble with negative consequences for all financial assets and the currencies that have inflated them.

In short, we are sitting on a monetary powderkeg, the danger of which is barely understood by policy makers and which could explode at any time. ...
