Let me state, at this point in time, I do not own any part of one Bitcoin.
Indeed after a few thousand more dollars run-up, it would not surprise me if BTC value had a sudden 30% drop. However, bitcoin DOES HAS WORTH. Why? BECAUSE IT HAS UTILITY.
As the first crypto mover, it still is the most common entry point into cryptos. (Indeed for many cryptosm they are only purchasable via exchange for bitcoin.)
At a time when many are moving from big cities into smaller towns; at a time when people are moving from high tax states to low tax states; at a time when people are moving from oppressive countries to less oppressive countries, bitcoin does represent a highly mobile hold-in-hand quantity of worth.
Mike in Albuquerque says:
A couple of mounts ago I bought my first bit of Bitcoin on Gemini and much more via GBTC and then recently really started buying it and Ethereum on PayPal. Gemini is a pain to deal with while Paypal is a breeze so sooner or later I’ll be moving my little bit of Bitcoin to PayPal. I did this as an experiment and learning exercise and also to get a bit of diversity in my holdings. Since PayPal is accepted at many stores having some alternative currency available in a pinch seems prudent. My plan is to build up and ultimately hold a couple of % of my assets in Bitcoin, I still and will own gold, silver and miners in the future but getting my feet a bit wet in the crypto seems a reasonable thing to do.
Big Al says:
Mike I agree that it is a reasonable thing to do.
Mike in Albuquerque says:
Big Al:
Thanks and I hope you and yours are doing well –

Fitts says the reset is also “the end of currencies.” She goes on to say, “It’s the death of currencies. Currency is something that is liquid. Currency is something I can put in my pocket and walk away. This is a digital control system. This is a credit at the company store. You will be given a credit at the company store,

Excelsior says:
The globalist cabal has had a plan for “the end of currencies” for some time, and things have been moving towards digital currencies regardless (with or without Bitcoin or the altcoins on the blockchain).
Think of how long people have already been conditioned to convert their digital bank dollars into Paypal to buy things on Ebay or Amazon, or Venmo, or the dozen other online payment systems. Think of going to Las Vegas and converting physical dollars into chips. Kids have been doing this with video games for several decades converting their money into gaming tokens or credits, and adults have been doing it online for decades with online gambling sites. Humans have been converting their greenbacks into other digital currencies/tokes/credits for some time now, and the rise of digital banking and money transfers where no physical cash is used has been growing for many years now.
Each country will want it’s own digital currency, and many companies have also tried to create their own. That is an unstoppable force at this point, whether or not someone buys Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, or Ripple…
I agree that there is no doubt all of this will be used as a digital control mechanism, and to further the death of physical cash. Cash is already mostly non-existent in many Asian countries, and now under the conditions and cover of the Pandemic, many businesses are voluntarily outlawing physical cash.
The cheese is moving, for better or worse, and there are convenience benefits with digital money, but at the huge price of lack of privacy and autonomy. It’s a brave new world out there…
Big Al says:
Very accurate comment Excelsior. Everyone should be aware of this.
OOTB Jerry says:
The digital cheese……is kind of hard to eat….. LOL

2020-12-18 09:38 ET – News Release
Mr. Andrew Pollard reports
BLACKROCK’S VICTOR TARGET EXTENDED 480 METRES TO THE EAST ON TONOPAH WEST PROJECT
Excelsior says:
I got a starter position going in Blackrock Gold this week for their exploration prospectivity on 2 different trends in Nevada, and noticed they have had a few high-grade Silver hits in recent exploration activities, and likely more to come. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
Excelsior says:
I bolstered a few of my gold stocks recently, but more of my focus has been on beefing up Silver stock positions in the precious metals portion of my trading portfolio, as Silver has much more potential to run higher in the next 1-2 years than even gold does. Silver’s potential and likely outperformance of Gold over the next 12-24 months, will also correlate to silver miners outperformance over the gold stocks as a general trend. Of course, there will be individual exceptions in both sectors, but in general, I’m shifting some more weight from Gold miners over to more Silver miners at this point in the cycle.

Excelsior says:
Peter Hug also mentions at that 7 min 45 sec mark about the likely outperformance of Silver over Gold in 2021.
Excelsior says:
The leverage in the miners over the metals, and Silver miners with the most upside torque is quite likely to re-establish itself in 2021 and even into 2022. I’ll be looking to future pullbacks and corrective moves to add to Silver miners, and may still add a bit more over the next few weeks, but I’ve got 21 Silver stocks at present, and am in a healthy position for this trend to play out.
OOTB Jerry says:
I am buying a big torque wrench…….. lol…… glad you are back…..from tree hugging . 🙂
Excelsior says:
OOTB – Good plan with buying the big torque wrench… for all that coming torque…
Yes, it is nice to be back to glowing screens once again. How many mountains, canyons, rock arches, rivers, lakes, oceans, and trees can one really hug anyway? Haha!
Once you get that super wrench, then let’s get things cranked up to the next level, eh?
We have cup and handles that need filling, to put some pep into everyone’s step.
OOTB Jerry says:
Yes indeed………………silver is looking really good, …..all in the big plan…..
Silver needs that push to $49, then look out…. 🙂
The miners are going to be just fine…..going forward.
I just like that gold feeling,…..nothing like it…… 🙂
Big Al says:
You very accurately provide morale for my additions of those sectors in my upcoming interviews.
bonzo says:
Mexican billionaire Hugo Salinas Price also loves silver. So does Bonzo.
Matthew says:
It wouldn’t be much of a bull market if silver didn’t outperform gold on a percentage basis but I think gold is going to perform better than most expect. There is still a huge amount of very high net worth money that has yet to diversify at all and it will seek gold by a very wide margin for its stability and depth of liquidity. So, I like the silver miners most followed by small gold junior miners with physical silver in a close 3rd place. I haven’t bought gold in years and I’m not going to now. Gold (money) has been in a secular bull market versus commodities for the last 20 years and the odds are good that that bull peaked this year. In other words, deflation in real terms is over. Someone should tell Bob Hoye since he has been expecting deflation in nominal terms the entire time.
Big Al says:
So Matthew, you disagree with Doc. I personally don’t but I put what he said into the not just the gold category but the entire precious metals category!
OOTB Jerry says:
Matthew is in his sweet spot……and will be well ahead of all gold bulls,…..it takes a lot of know how to play in Matthew’s league……and I am sure he will be way ahead of the crowd in pm market at the end….problem , is most others will not be as lucky…..
Gold is just a lazy way to play the PM Market,….. JMO
Big Al says:
I personally play the pm market with both gold and silver.
Matthew says:
Al, I don’t know if I disagree with Doc, what did he say that you’re referring to?
For the record, I’m not against gold and many people need to get some or get some more. I’m just confident that it will underperform the rest of the sector for the next few months from here. I’d buy it before I’d buy the bond market or conventional stocks, that’s for sure.
OOTB Jerry says:
It is too late to worry about , “would you want”…………..with $200 TRILLION of DEBT….gold should already be at $10,000……….
Some people are going to be a day late and a few billion short…….lol
Excelsior says:
Yes the US is a few trillion short… but what’s a few trillion here… and few trillion there… amongst the friendly money lenders and government money spenders? 😉

Yes DT, Jerry is a voice in the wilderness. And to elaborate on another of your comments: “People do not want to admit what may seem dirty”.

David says:
00TB
You have been right so far on the audits. That is why I keep pushing any legislator that will listen to support the Appointment of a “Real” Prosecutor as Attorney General. We can a accept smoke being blown in our face or complain. The Constitution is fine.. it is enforcement that has been lacking.
OOTB Jerry says:
David…..it is a sad fact……Have you listened to the post that Matthew posted , and I reposted …lewrockwell ron paul ……dated 05…..supreme court…., we have a real big problem , congress is way of order concerning the Constitution…..congress does not have a clue…..never going to change, until the people REVOLT…..I think, it is down to that….
Big Al says:
Jerry, I certainly agree that there is a lot of danger out there and I do think that this represents a valuable discussion point.
David says:
Where do you start in enforcing the law at the Federal Level? The President. The President appoints the Attorney General. Law Enforcement at the Federal Level is the Jystice Department. If you want the SEC to regulate, you require they do their job. Doing their job includes referring criminal cases to the FBI. Once the FBI does an investigation it gies to a GranD Jury fir indictment. The indictment goes to the Courts.
That doesn’t happen because the Administrative Branch allows the SEC and Justice Department to settle massive fraud cases and market manipulation by Civil Fine.
That in itself is illegal. Solution: Get an honest President that appoints an honest prosecutor that “allows” the career law enforcement to their jobs and demand that they enforce the laws as they exist.
It is that simple. Finding someone honest to elect is a real problem. It may be necessary to make law enforcement somehow independent from political influence. Their job is enforcement of the laws.. not a political theory.
Government employees whether elected or appointed, swear to support and defend the Constitution. Make them do it or get rid of them through
voting or jail.
It all starts by restoring the integrity of the law at the highest levels and that would be restoring the integrity and independence of the Justice Department. Just think if the mind set of Washington were changed from “what can I do to profit from this issue” to “what can I do to follow the law and help the taxpayer”. There is a difference and requires people in key positions to act in an ethical and morally appropriate way. Not so easy these days. Force is not a solution but a failed result of weak character.
Big Al says:
By “force”, you mean like the anarchy in Seattle and Portland?
Matthew says:
Jerry, the people have long forgotten that the federal government was created by the states to SERVE the states, not rule them. What we have today is akin to a child ruling his parents despite clear and very limited chores assigned to him his parents.
This upside-down and endless centralizing of power has been going on for 150+ years and the Republicans are just as much to blame as the Democrats. Just look at all the R fools who think Lincoln was a great president despite all the crystal clear evidence to the contrary. Tradition can be as formidable as propaganda when it comes to undermining critical thinking because so much of it is the result of propaganda.
Big Al says:
I believe that you are clearly defining “The two headed snake”
OOTB Jerry says:
David…..you make some great points…..Problem, and we have been hammering this govt. back and forth for years , here on the KER.
Problem , there is only one party.
Matthew , has been spot on , for years, ….
Restoring the LAW……….when you have a wild card, called the CIA, which can not be touched……we have a problem.
FBI, IRS, CIA, DNI, SCOTUS……Congress Lifers……We have a PROBLEM….
Big Al says:
I happen to completely agree with you Jerry.
OOTB Jerry says:
The Best sound advice , this week end…….IS FROM DOC………..
He is 80% in GOLD….. 🙂
OOTB Jerry says:
Correction……gold and related PMs. and pm stocks……
OOTB Jerry says:
Matthew……….you are spot on again… 🙂
David says:
00TB:
We have got to ignore parties or a party and enforce the law. Applying the law equally is mandatory. It doesn’t matter who is in charge, what they believe or their personal desires, the law has to be restored and enforced. Special interests must be ignored and equitable treatment remain the rule.
If all we do is chase smoke screens and rhetoric, nothing changes. Law is the basis for a free society and failing to enforce it or failing to enforce it equitably destroys freedom. Ignoring restoring the legal system, will continue the chaos. The government works for the people…period.
Big Al says:
You bet, the government is supposed to work for its people. Is that what our government is doing?
Matthew says:
It is a good idea to ignore parties and focus on actions but it is important to understand that collectivism is incompatible with the principles that made the U.S. the best country in the first place. Collectivism in all its forms tramples on the individual’s natural rights. It is tyranny, plain and simple and leads to a totalitarian government.
OOTB Jerry says:
David………I agree, “we have to ignore the party”…….I have mentioned a few hundred times here on the KER, …….IT IS A TWO HEADED SNAKE PARTY….
Corruption is in the entire CONGRESS……
OOTB Jerry says:
DAVID…….Law for you and me is one thing,…..we see first hand, the law does not apply to anyone in congress, FBI, DOJ….congress is just a toy….
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN……and has been a long time……
OOTB Jerry says:
We have been talking about the corrupt govt….since Ron Paul was running for off,….
The Teaparty , was crushed by the IRS….hoodlem…..
David says:
Jerry: You are making my point. The law has been eroded and needs to be “restored”. The Justice Department neutralized. Those that are the beneficiaries of deregulation, erosion of law, special interest favoritism Do Not Want a Strong Legal System. They don’t want Regulators to regulate or Law Enforcement to Enforce. They are profiting from the erosion. Case on point is JP Morgan five felony cases against the fictitious “corporate person” through Citizens United and “Civil Fines” for “human criminal action.”
That is how we gain control of chaos by the proper application and regulation of our society. We can’t afford to chase emotional issues that diverts us from protecting the Constitution.
It’s a big scam and they are controlling law enforcement and Congress.
OOTB Jerry says:
David…….I agree the law….under the constitution , needs to be restored……
Big Al says:
I don’t believe that you can spend any time at all in DC if you are making only $135K per year. Heck, your can’t even go out for a drink on that kind on money.

https://schrts.co/QTckGRTe
Matthew says:
For the first time in a decade, IPT is about to finish back-to-back quarters above (superimposed) VWAPs originating at the company’s 1993 listing and its 1997 all-time high.
Again, this is quarterly so I don’t know if non-subs will be able to see it properly:
https://schrts.co/nyfkHuaQ
Matthew says:
Priced in gold, IPT is at a very interesting level. It is above the VWAP since the 2011 high but below the VWAP since the 2008 low.
Monthly

CEO of nuthin says:
Matthew; thanks for the charts.
FYI, the monthly and quarterly ACP charts default to daily or weekly; max 5-years timeframe for nonsubs. And I think maximum six indicators and/or annotations. I’ve been playing around with ACP but change is hard and I still prefer the old charts.
Matthew says:
CEO, thanks for the feedback. I also prefer the old charts but must use the ACP charts for certain tools like the anchored VWAP, TTM Squeeze, BOP (Balance Of Power), etc.
Check out SILJ:GLD versus the 233 week MA and EMA:
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SILJ%3AGLD&p=W&yr=5&mn=0&dy=0&id=p29499381154
CEO of nuthin says:
That’s interesting. I got in the habit of using EMA, not sure why – probably because that’s what Jack Chan uses.
Just for fun, I ran about 20 weekly charts with 233 MA and EMA and noticed that the charts that resemble the blonde I’d like to marry have the EMA above the MA, and the ones that resemble the Wicked Witch from Endor are the other way around.
Here’s one I got engaged to after she suffered that terrible fall to the 233 WEMA (WSP.TO)
https://schrts.co/cDNrigWg
Matthew says:
Exponential MAs are more sensitive to price changes because they apply more weight to recent prices. I added double and triple EMAs to your chart (all 233 w):
https://schrts.co/gTTpECYU
Matthew says:
On a related not, most people use the 200 MA and they could have been stopped out or even gone short in March and in November as gold had back-to-back closes below the 200 dMA in both months. However, those who used the Fibonacci-based 233 dMA never had a single close below that MA. In fact, the last close below the 233 dMA happened 2 years ago, in December 2018.

Wolfster says:
I got prematurely excited when it hit $1.10 on Thursday……its looking so much stronger than Kootenay and Braxton
Matthew says:
IPT has held up very well and has always been a bit of a bellwether. It topped about 3 weeks ahead of Brixton months ago and I expect it to lead the way higher this time.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=IPT.V&p=W&yr=5&mn=7&dy=0&id=p57547919332&a=601253654
Matthew says:
Brixton got cheap enough recently that I couldn’t resist adding to my position (an extra 177,000 shares so far).
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBB.V&p=W&yr=4&mn=11&dy=0&id=p76082990974&a=635402369
Wolfster says:
Brixton is definitely the one I’m adding to at these levels as I take profits out of other plays. I see Brixton and Kootenay eventually having a race to see who goes over .50 first
Excelsior says:
I lightened up just a little on some of the Silver stocks that have been really running lately like Silver Tiger, Santacruz, Defiance, and Coeur, and put some of the profits back into Kootenay for the optionality factor of their ounces in the ground. I’m actually on the hunt for a few more silver explorers and have already fortified my Vizsla, Metallic Minerals, Brixton, and Orex positions, and just added Blackrock Gold lately as well.
Wolfster, I’m considering Kuya Silver, GR Silver, or Aftermath Silver. Any thoughts or other ideas to check out?
Wolfster says:
Kuya is the only one I follow…..have followed well….it’s run up every time I’ve put in bids so have never owned. ☹️…..
Excelsior says:
My holdings in Golden Minerals (which has quite a bit of Silver in their asset mix), has really been on a tear as well, and I’m considering lightening up on it to rotate into other names, but not sure what is looking as cheap at this point where most companies have put in sizeable rallies the last month or two.
Excelsior says:
Understood, and I’ve been in that boat many times.
Wasn’t Kuya previously Miramont?
Wolfster says:
Yes it was…..as for undervalued plays in silver unfortunately there’s not much to pick from. USA technically would qualify if they keep hitting with the drills.

That is a scary thought DT. Hopefully that event doesn’t happen ever, but the change in power from the U.S. to China will be a very hard pill for the deep state to swallow in my opinion so it is a possibility. I don’t like to think about it because we are screwed if it happens and owning gold and guns won’t matter.
Charles says:
Why? I would guess because they are more focused on paying themselves than rewarding shareholders.

(UUUU) (EFR) Energy Fuels And The Monazite Plan
Dec. 18, 2020 – Tim Worstall Seeking Alpha
Rare earths
“So, we’re all aware of the twin things all are saying about rare earths – the 15 lanthanides plus yttrium and scandium. They’re essential for all these lovely new and renewables technologies so we need to have more of them. Further, since China produces some 70% of global supply then there has to be significant production outside that country. We can’t rely upon them now, can we?”
“Energy Fuels is the only licenced and operating uranium mill in the country. They, most importantly, have storage space and storage licences for the radioactive wastes from the processing. ”
“If I were to try and enter the US rare earths market (recall, I did used to be in the associated scandium business) this is what I’d be trying to do. Work out a way of using the waste products from other processes. For it is indeed well known that there are rare earths in many of them. The problem to be overcome would be that radioactivity problem.”
“This is exactly what Energy Fuels has just achieved.”
“Energy Fuels has cracked a significant problem here. There is no logical reason why the plan won’t work. They should be a great deal cheaper than new mines trying to produce rare earth concentrates.”

(UUUU) (EFR) Energy Fuels Set to Enter Commercial Rare Earth Business in Q1-2021, Producing Materials That Make Many Clean Energy and Advanced Technologies Possible
14 Dec 2020
https://ceo.ca/@newswire/energy-fuels-set-to-enter-commercial-rare-earth-business
Excelsior says:
Personally, I’ve been positioned in (UUUU) Energy Fuels for the last few years and have followed it for over a decade, due to the Uranium story, and as prior producers of Uranium with the only operating mill in the US, then I feel that gives them a huge advantage over all other hardrock U companies. [there are a few In-situ Uranium producers in the US like Ur-Energy and Peninsula energy, and a few developers like UEC, AEC, and Azarga looking to enter ISR production when the pricing is economical to do so].
Another arrow in the Energy Fuels quiver is that they can process and produce Vanadium, which is an important specialty resource for Vanadium redox batteries in the larger scale energy storage sector.
Now they’ve added a 3rd value driver in the processing of other companies waste ore to extract Rare Earth Elements. They can handle the radioactivity due to their Uranium licensing and experience, and this seems far more economical and profitable that other new companies trying to learn to mine and extract them on their own.
(UUUU) Energy Fuels has started to move nicely higher over the last quarter, and my expectations are for an orderly march higher from here over the next few years as Uranium, Vanadium, and Rare Earths continue to come more into investor focus. As a result it has moved to my largest holding in the Uranium space — with (NXE) NexGen and (URG) Ur-Energy coming in close a close 2nd & 3rd.
Investors should do their own due diligence, of course, but after following the Uranium sector since 2010, the rare earths since 2011, and Vandium since 2017, this is the company I feel most comfortable backing for the unfolding bull market in all 3 sectors.

Too much silver is a hassle, at least thats what I have found.
I still have some but I switched to gold long ago.
Even when it was more profitable to purchase silver.
One fellow I know cut a hole in his garage floor, and buryed his silver under concrete where a car parked.
Issue resolved.
He figures if it ever gets to be worth anything substantial he can dig it up.
Big Al says:
Burying it in a concrete encased hole in a garage is certainly something done by a serious conspiracy theorist. I personally don’t and haven’t gone to that extreme.

Another solid week gentlemen……again my time is tight so I will do a quick ramble…
Great to see Ex posting again…..Sprott lovers he’s put some money into Goldon last week…Glenfidish sorry I haven’t mentioned any pots. They’ve had nice runs so none are looking undervalued right now…..still think everyone is missing the EV opportunities especially on the battery side. Nano one had a nice release this week with many speculationing its Tesla they are working with…..copper may have reached a resistance but some exploration plays kodiak gsp resources and heatherdale look interesting….keep up the good work all. I’ve had a nice year but 2021 looks really strong
Excelsior says:
Hey there Wolfster – Nice to see you posting as well sir.
I built a Goldon position earlier in the year and wondered if it was ever going to get noticed, and have been pleasantly surprised with it has started getting traction the last few months. I trimmed a little earlier this month when it had more than doubled, but have the rest of the position riding the exploration wave higher.
I agree with you on the battery stocks, and I’ve mentioned on here about a half dozen times over the last few months that Lithium stocks have been perking up, as have Copper. However so have most commodities, like the PGM stocks have been on fire, and even the Zinc/Lead stocks have been on the move again. Fun times!
Excelsior says:
It is also interesting to note that many PGM companies are well endowed with Nickel or Copper, and vice versa…. many base metals deposits have a nice PGM kicker.
It gives those stocks a play on traditional auto sales, paired with the battery metals and electrification of the developing world trends. Cheers!
Wolfster says:
Yes goldon is getting noticed…pure gold drilling in their direction certainly helps
Wolfster says:
Regarding batteries….technology is always changing….nano one’s cathode requires no cobalt
Excelsior says:
Agreed. The only constant is change…
Most of the batteries on the market and being developed still utilize Nickel, Copper, Lithium, and Graphite to varying degrees. Then there are the Vanadium redox batteries for energy storage. Cobalt is a conflict mineral as most comes from the Congo, so people are working to limit it or phase it out in many of the new battery designs.

A lovely pop in gold and silver prices seen at the moment. Now that the stimulus news has been digested look for PMs to retrace somewhat if the US $ relief rally keeps up. What we dont want to see is gold to give back all the gains seen from Fridays close. Ideally we would like to see a move towards golds former all-time high around $1920 being challenged in the next 24-48 hours.

And I spoke too soon. Thats disappointing! Another Monday “fakeout”. Specs and traders looking to trap other players in the short term. In the short term, this retracement is a little concerning as it indicates little strength around $1900. Need gold to bounce back soon.
