This is great flipping the must go lotion should have been you know must just become a tropical new yorks become in moscow and then its freezing up there its warm over there theres part of this vortex in new age you mentioned flipping of course that is a term that has been used in the Cryptocurrency Community everybody is waiting for easter or a theory and the other currencies to overtake bitcoin over the christmas and new year holidays. Did as a share of the percentage of the overall cryptocurrency market fall to an all time low and that was on the news that a theory was working on the crypto rubel so this was one of the things that drove a theory im quite high crypto rule is coming and there will be a flipping but it will probably be rep paul ripple is the anti a bit coy its everything that bitcoin isnt its rip all its the friend of jamie diamond coy its a friend. Big business coin its centralization vs decentralization meanwhile over there in russia let amir putin and his team at the kremlin are thinking about taking the theory and blocking it hard for it and doing the ruble coin is this important of course it is because theyre going to bypass sanctions and therefore all attempts by the centralization of the American Government and the u. S. Dollar is for no a lot. But you get too much sun and little of it. Anyway so of course over the christmas break everybody purchased a lot of goods for gifts that they actually couldnt afford so these headlines do together and it tells an interesting story for twenty eight teens paying down christmas debt how long will it take this is from Michele Bachmann he provides this chart Consumer Credit outstanding going back to one thousand nine hundred sixty eight the red line on the bottom is the revolving credit like Credit Card Debt that hit a trillion dollars in the past year but the yellow line is non revolving debt which is things like Student Loans auto loans mortgages and you can see that a sword now the thing that he points out on this chart thats quite interesting is one nine hundred seventy one one hundred seventy one when nixon took us off the Gold Standard which allowed for a lot of the debt were going to go deeper into that with another charge he provides in a moment but what do you say about all those debt that americans have they added an average of one thousand and fifty four dollars in debt over christmas to be in debt is to express your true self as an american and a part of the western consumption culture card debt is by definition your identity your credit score is who you are and when you combine social media as are doing in china any time you step out of line if you spit on the subway your social media index is degraded and your cost of funds goes higher and you get deeper into the casino gulag remember entering into the era of the casino good leg where people are glued to their Virtual Reality goggles playing video games all day for credits on shopping and if they fall into line they get electric shock after shrink spring and it hurts really bad but it teaches dont try to escape the casino glegg so happening in china itll be happening in america its already been around in the u. K. For one hundred years but nobodys really noticed because no one pays attention to the u. K. Actually. I did see over the break some journalist and a woman from america who was traveling by train from beijing. Or Something Like that and she mentioned that over the loudspeaker there were. And then downstream comes every half hour or so that if you break any rules of traveling on the train that it will affect your credit score your social credit score thats exactly what im talking about social credit score tied into massive surveillance and billions of surveillance cameras are coming to work you are personality behavior and character so that you never stop sinking about clicking on ads so Mark Zuckerberg is you lets face it hes the antichrist so youre saying that ad blocker is for example if you use an ad blocker so that you could freely browse the internet without having ads pop on you that lowers your credit score they say youre a bad bad consumer Strength Training case so much in West Hollywood they love that kind of thing so talking about debt lets look at the numbers that we have here bouncing back from these purchases wont come quickly only half of those surveyed expected to repay the debt within three months others twenty nine percent say they need more than five months to pay off their christmas debts often leading to interest on the Credit Card Debt and growing balances in fact ten percent of the people who took on holiday debt said they will only be able to make minimum payments on credit cards if the shopper spent one thousand and fifty four dollars and paid a minimum of twenty five dollars each month he or she would be paying down that balance until twenty twenty three so the debt theyve incurred ten percent of these people will not be able to pay it off until twenty twenty three those who are paid up because itll be intergenerational itll be passed on to your heirs itll go on for two theyll be no end to it the thing that we will leave as a society is debt the egyptians are the Great Pyramids weve got the great credit card. You know i like ancient civilizations of the past with their great monuments and temples i think well have our landfills and credit cars you know essentially leaving behind and so in l. A. And civilization show up and whatever they do show up finally when its safe to come to this toxic orb say oh my god its safe to go there because all the people around up all that debt are now. Done so its a good thing of course to see that in twenty eighteen max is not stopped with his. Doom and gloom about the toxic nature very thing just so you people are worried but of course speaking of this average debt of one thousand and fifty four dollars a lot of people by the way in the new year at American Airlines at Southwest Airlines at various companies im out around america announce that theyre giving a thousand dollar bonus to every single employee clean part time employees because of the tax cuts so the rockefeller gave kids dont im on the street while he was plundering the economy you know rapaciously destroying any underpinnings of a sound economy here kid im a dime. Between your teeth be my friend you know so what they give a thousand dollars is going to go immediately down to pay off their visa or master card theyre not even if it looks a by coin theyre do going back to this chart that michelle highlighted that debt has exploded since one thousand seventy one when nixon took america off the Gold Standard and the us took the entire world off the Gold Standard by the way i did buy some gold over christmas so im going long gold again just so you know i think its you know i guess full disclosure regarding this headline so hes explained the credit binge and he says the availability of credit exploded after nixon closed the gold window on august fifteenth one nine hundred seventy one at that point nations no longer had to spend their gold or hike Interest Rates to stop the flow of gold and trade deficit balances and this is a remarkable chart that he provides eric because i havent seen it put like this but this is the balance of trade this is one nine hundred seventy one for america their balance of trade with the rest of the world had to stay even because otherwise youre sending your gold over there member that we had to send navy ships full of gold to france when Charles De Gaulle asked for back here you see the balance of trade since then its just gone this is us getting free goods from the rest of the world we just have to pay dollars is as worse than any of the worst of the all the coins. I would say use the word that is often used boxes about what they call oil coins but its on mentionable on air thats correct its inappropriate for a family show like this one to call the dollar by its rightful name the kids suffer ha. Which is a little known dialect on a faraway planet which means kaka actually you know the stock r. C. It comes from the latin prefix of ca which we Carry Forward to this day and we so you know weve been talking about this this is something that weve been highlighting on report since two thousand and nine is the absence of a Gold Standard has allowed for the explosion of debt whether or not that makes people more free i dont think so i think having all this debt probably makes you less free i think this is why you see the millennial as the Younger Generation people pouring into things like the queen and all these other all kinds of crypto currencies this is a direct result of what weve highlighted in previous episodes where this debt system is the real ponzi so its also interesting that the likes of jamie dimon say bitcoins and ponzi scheme well this this is the biggest perpetrator of this this ponzi scheme that is called the Consumer Credit outstanding economy just yes dollar is is extremely dangerous to the World Economy as well as the world ecology because it is not only the consumption thats inappropriate outside of a Gold Standard but all that consumption leads to eco hola cost which were suffering now with the polar vortex and the fact that moscow is now like florida florida is now like siberia thats all because of the Gold Standard been abandoned thats why russia is buying gold thats why china is buying gold because i want to bring back discipline to man of course bitcoin solves all these issues but as i said i have been buying gold recently because i think the what turned me on to it again was the fact that it became so so so hated we covered the story where hedge funds were dumping capitulating on gold dumping all their gold shorting gold and going ending all their long positions and i thought you know they were all pouring into big corps and i thought well probably and. Time to go long old again because this is really those blood on the street moments where its so hated and reviled not even just like in a passionate way just like its so boring and listening to kaiser a point where mack said gold is so boring so many times i decided to go along to your country and yeah i listen to you and i go visit what you had said but. Im with you on that i think the gold twenty eight is going to be good year for gold and silver because its spend basically sold off to the point where theres no more sellers so once you run out of sellers any marginal buyer starts the price of action in the opposite direction and then that feeds on itself and you have a new resumption of a bull market trend thats the way markets for going to work its been that way since adam first sold that apple the eve i know in the second half youre talk to richard hard again. Im going to get my. In this weather here and dont know no show does stage and for the second half of part two richard hart say theyre. Apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch to the final school its about the passion from the families its the age of the super money clearly their owners and spending to twenty million. Its an experience like nothing else so to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game greeks are. Going to. I had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. I never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. But im facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. Well you look to be able to pull up a clip of the bully like you go to school you know to simulate those still give up food for the over the see. Her. That you dont really feel like some of the big you know. And then. The guy just came over to me saw me and gave me a change of this book. Because. Welcome back to the cars report imax guys are time now to continue our conversation with richard hart big point this is just o. J. Original gangster id say who knows what hes talking about when it comes to technology Derivatives Trading bit coy crypto hes got an outstanding you tube channel that i watch along with the world trip down network also on you tube which is an outstanding channel to cover whats happening in the big client space richard welcome back thanks for having me first of all a quick kind of housekeeping thing because a lot of people watching this might be new to the crypt of new typical and whats the best way to secure your private key is richard hart tell the people tell the audience out there whats the best way if if you want to be in the cryptocurrency space and have control over your money if you dont have the private keys its not your money so if you have money in an exchange in your name you dont have the coin you have i use you have little tokens that maybe they exchange honors maybe they dont but they get hacked if they lose your money so you really need to have your own private keys now i can i got in this game you generated private key and thered be no easy way to remember what it was because of the long Computer Generated numbers and letters then someone came along invented this cool thing called h. D. Wallets i mean its hierarchical deterministic and it just means that you remember the series of words and as long as you have those words you can generate infinite new and private addresses from them and so this you know lets call it twenty four words seed. You can choose the one for the pentagon software use. It is all you need to access all your funds for ever so this is the seed phrase this long series of words as long as you write it down stored a couple different places you always have access to your funds trevor and very important that you are the only person that has access to the seed words because someone else gets access to them they can steal your money lets talk a little philosophical here you know you are talking about of course bitcoin youve got the key importantly as one of the chief features of bitcoin is that its completely outside of all governments all corporations it exists in a parallel financial universe you could say and this is one of the greatest things about bitcoin is that you are now individually sovereign as our friend Jamieson Loblaws likes to say so you had mentioned in a previous show that libertarians in this space they love it but they forget that there is a case look theres a history of cases and legal precedent of why certain laws came into effect so my question is kind of philosophically hair on one hand the bit big coin essentially makes governments obsolete in many ways they make Central Banks obsolete you can transfer value back and forth and you dont need intermediaries you dont need the whole system on the other hand you have some what i would call an arc of capitalist in some cases are libertarians who believe that this should be taken to the nth degree and we simply have no governance whatsoever no government at all where do you come in on that debate richard its too easy to forget the harm that is laid upon people that may not be as smart as you. So you may be able to tell the difference between a real big corn and fake corn but most peoples grandparents cannot and it could cost them their life savings i think that most anarchic capitalists and libertarians support laws against deceptive and fraudulent advertising i dont think any market or any capitalist Society Works better with a bunch of fraudsters lying cheating stealing colluding price fixing. Rent seeking and creating monopolies i think those are the enemy of all well functioning societies and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so the easy way to prevent terrible horrible things from happening in large numbers to stupid people is to have laws which regulate and set a referee to allow fair free market you know people forget what the word free in free market means it means regulated it means theres rules that must be abided by it means there is a referee to keep things fair you know if you played a sports game and there was no referees everyone would get their eyes poked out ever only get their fingers bitten off and then some smart person would come along go you know what we ought to have a referee for this it would make everything work better if Financial Markets are the same way so light hands off as laissez faire as can be but with a strict Playing Field so that people can compete on the merits of their offerings and not collude cheat lie sabotage and make the world a worse place you know you if match and that you dont invest in socalled all toys they hundreds and thousands of competing crypto coins out there and a couple of questions one is. Are you a big point maximalist and explain what that means and second of all to follow up on your previous answer there what about this concept of a distributed Autonomous Organization because some of these crypto is are all going to do go down that path and it seems to address some of the issues youre bringing up there. Richard there are things that other tokens can do because you cannot and it is likely that there always will be so if youre interested in strong anonymity your options are either tumbling in coin mixing your because in which youve got to be pretty smart to make sure it worked you got to make sure the coins you sent you got back different ones they could just send you back the same coins and then youve tainted yourself right but other projects are better at that for instance marrow its better at that and theres other projects which focus on anybody or better if you want really cheap transactions at lower security tons of all coins can do that the coin cant because Lightning Network isnt fully rolled out yet you know there is a place for because. As a settlement layer for tier two things as the most secure netw
