Thank Asia:

Gold is up more than 87 percent since January 2024. Asian investment and central bank gold buying primarily drove the early stages of the bull market.

Asian investors tend to favor physical metal (although there is growing interest in ETFs in the East). Bar and coin demand was up by 11 percent in H1, rising to 582 tonnes, with Chinese and Indian investors leading the way.

Chinese bar and coin demand grew by 44 percent year-on-year in H1. Chinese investors snapped up 115 tonnes of gold bars and coins in the second quarter alone. It was the strongest H1 for physical gold buying since 2013.

India bar and coin demand grew by 7 percent through the first half of the year.

But in the U.S., selling was the dominant theme in the physical bullion market. Year-on-year bar and coin sales plummeted by 53 percent in H1. Demand in the second quarter was only 9 tonnes, the lowest quarterly level since Q4 2019.

The Ron Paul Movement is closed for business. Where are the populists demanding a return to the gold standard. Focused on drag queen mexicans eating pets.

Why China's Industrial Demand Is Driving the Silver Market

https://www.goldmarket.fr/en/Why-Chi...silver-market/

China is buying silver mainly for industrial demand. I was in a conversation with a Chinese netizen and he was saying China only sees gold as for money and silver for industrial purposes. Chinese citizens are buying silver for investment, though China does not want to monetize silver because of industrial uses.

Remember how I was saying if we could have 4 or 12 more years of Biden/Democrats, global growth, high inflation, high debt. No going to crypto. Global economy eating most of silver supply, silver shortages, bankers lose. We would get 50,000 gold and 5,000 silver in a decade.

Probably need a war or crisis to usher in bitcoin as the new Bretton Woods bitcoin standard to stop gold as money.

The real threat is the jews advising China, from Rothschild to Jeffrey Sachs. These are the jews to whisper in the ears of the Chinese to make sure they comply with the cia script.

And media influencers such as Nathan Rich, a mossad asset.

I would love to have a post here exposing Jeffrey Sachs, you only need the wikipedia page and be knowledgeable about the jews and you can expose Jeffrey Sachs in minutes.

Hell, we all know they can play their games and we could see silver sink below 40 easy. The fact is that fiat is failing. It is failing by design and the slide is sharpening. The average g/s ratio since we left the gold standard is about 65 and this would put silver over sixty right now. Gold is going way higher. $5K by years end is a distinct possibility. Silver will probably outshoot gold on a percentage basis. I think silver is a screaming deal at $50 and the masses probably will too when they balk at paying for gold what the rich, the governments and the bankers have bid it up to. So pass that bowl bro and we’ll stuff some hopium into the pipe of pessimism.��
