Isotopic Ag–Cu–Pb record of silver circulation through 16th–18th century Spain
>Estimating global fluxes of precious metals is key to understanding early monetary systems. This work adds silver (Ag) to the metals (Pb and Cu) used so far to trace the provenance of coinage through variations in isotopic abundances. Silver, copper, and lead isotopes were measured in 91 coins from the East Mediterranean Antiquity and Roman world, medieval western Europe, 16th–18th century Spain, Mexico, and the Andes and show a great potential for provenance studies. Pre-1492 European silver can be distinguished from Mexican and Andean metal. European silver dominated Spanish coinage until Philip III, but had, 80 y later after the reign of Philip V, been flushed from the monetary mass and replaced by Mexican silver.

I was listening to George Gammon tonight talking about bond yields and the US dollar, and it's clear he's a firm believer in Brent Johnson's "dollar milkshake" theory.
https://youtu.be/HHF9MtXmmbA
Gammon gave a very convoluted explanation of how bonds work relative to the US debt/deficit, but he completely omitted fundamental issues looming over the $USD:
1. Every percentage point increase in US bonds eventually results in a $400 billion annual interest cost increase. Ie, the US government CANNOT tolerate bond yields of 15% because interest would consume over 100% of federal revenues.
2. Boomer entitlements have a net present value of between $100-$200 trillion, and there is no money saved.
3. The $USD may be the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry hamper, but how many people/orgs/institutional investors will accept a 70%-90+% haircut in their real purchasing power while getting paid a couple percent interest?
What worked for the last 46 years (the USA devalued the $USD 70% from 1970-1980) will not work in %currentyear%. The $USD may be the most "convenient" currency for international trade, but treasuries will be useless as a reserve asset if they aren't a store of value relative to essential commodities like energy and copper. The $USD currently accounts for 88% of global foreign exchange transactions, 58% of global foreign exchange reserves, and 54% of global trade.
Countries are already buying gold in preference to US Treasuries. This trend will only escalate as the $USD loses value. I hope a trustworthy international repository network offering redeemable tokenized gold will unseat the US dollar hegemony.
Why would anyone want to put up with US bullshit (they might freeze your assets if you don't paint gay crosswalks) when they have a options not subject to US control?

You are correct. Gold and silver have been wealth for longer than we have had written language. Humans appear to be genetically predisposed towards the beauty of gold and silver.
It still be the case after the last fiat dies. Vampiric system is really a good metaphor. Inflation silently sucks the fruits of working people's lifeblood, draining their purchasing power and ultimately their life savings.

Gold and silver are timeless.
>In 2003, archaeologists discovered an extraordinary 2,000-year-old Celtic gold coin hoard hidden inside a hollow cow bone at Sedgeford in Norfolk, England.
>The remarkable find contained gold Gallo-Belgic staters dating to around 60–50 BC, originally minted in ancient Gaul, in present-day France. The coins had been carefully concealed inside a cow's upper leg bone, creating an unusual hiding place for valuable treasure.
>Researchers believe the bone may have been used to hide or transport the gold discreetly, although the exact reason remains unknown. The discovery offers fascinating evidence of the wealth and trade connections between Iron Age Britain and continental Europe, revealing an extraordinary method of protecting valuables more than 2,000 years ago.

The very fact that people tolerate this and haven't lynched the politicians and central bankers shows how effective the salami strategy works on the average goyim.
Loss is purchasing power of various fiat currencies since 1971. I presume this chart uses standard inflation data which understates the level of real devaluation.

What's the salami method? I only know meatball technique. xD
It's weird to see the Yen in second place though. And all the pre-EUR currencies are missing, but they would probably look very bad. A german anon mentioned that the Euro itself devalued a whole lot since 2002. He could measure it easily due to how he calculated prices based on old 5 Mark coins or something, I don't remember all the details.

If they make the slices thin enough, people don't immediately notice that someone is stealing their salami.
If inflation is low enough, most normies won't get too upset by the loss of their purchasing power. Over a period of years, it results in a greater than 99% loss of purchasing power.

Anyone who owns long US paper will get raped one way or another. Either by dropping value (increasing interest rates) or by currency devaluation if they do yield curve control.

In other news, hardware crypto wallets were found with embedded LTE transmitter and spyware to steal peoples crypto even while offline.

As I was saying to my better half today after going through half a dozen confirmation steps (including THREE 2FA using different modes) to do a single BTC transfer, if someone wants to steal our metal, they have to do survellance, know when we are transporting, and intercept when we are vulnerable. Very high risk, very expensive, not feasible for someone who does active countersurveillance.
Theft from crypto wallets/exchanges can be automated and done remotely with little or no risk, for extremely high reward. I would not be surprised if state actors like Mossad or North Korea are involved in some of these crypto hacks.

Nice try… In silver, the smallest piece we have is a Britannia silver 1/10oz. The largest is picrel. We were too late for the 5kg Noah's Ark, and too cheap to pay the premium the 10kg silver Maple.
> are they still making new coins for that series?
Not that I'm aware. Here's the list of the rounds they made and their mintage.
https://blog.providentmetals.com/zombucks-final-mintage-announcement.htm
Zombucks are a cute novelty like the Cheesed rounds. We nearly always buy the lowest premium metal, with a mix of generic rounds and random bars depending on how we feel.
One day we bought some tubes of the cheapest generic rounds and they contained some "collectables".
What George Gammon missed when he went to Argentina and tried to use a gold Eagle for barter, was that relative to the Argentine peso, the $USD is a stable currency and the most commonly used liquid store of value not only in Argentina, but in many countries that have high inflation. The $USD is useful because it is counterfeit resistant, recognizable, and very liquid internationally.
https://youtu.be/3s4Fx9U_kAE
What will Argentines use as a store of value when (not if) the $USD shits the bed?
I believe Gammon is trying to build the case that the dollar milkshake theory works now and will continue to work in the future. I disagree and believe that ANY world reserve fiat currency will always eventually fail, and the the world will then fall back to gold and silver, and the cycle will eventually begin all over again, because physical gold and silver aren't convenient for large volumes of international trade because of the need to assay/verify, especially with larger bars.
I would like to see the same test done using silver Eagles. Argentina is named after silver.

My better half and I were discussing the likely future break up of the USA. What will happen if Trump is impeached after he loses the mid-terms?
1. Trump has likely preemptively pardoned his family and friends.
2. JD Vance will likely pardon Trump like Ford did with Nixon.
3. Various States will file criminal charges against Trump and his family and friends.
4. States will either honor or refuse to honor extradition for Trump and his family and friends, or they will seek asylum in Israel.
George W. Bush cannot travel to most places outside the USA because he has an outstanding international arrest warrant for kidnapping and torture during the war on terror.
This is before we even enter a great depression triggered by Trump's war of choice on behalf of Bibi.

People on 4chan talking about hardness of gold are making a fundamental error. 24k gold can be work hardened, and must be annealed if you want to form it without cracking. Cast 24k gold is quite soft, but once it gets minted or worked, it becomes much harder.
Silver behaves similarly.
Cast vs minted 24k gold are different beasts.

I don't get paid by big DMSO or big vitamin c.
>A 30 percent vitamin C solution dissolved in DMSO cleared 86 percent of basal cell skin cancer lesions within eight weeks in a clinical trial. In a randomized study published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, researchers tested a topical mix of high-concentration ascorbic acid and dimethyl sulfoxide, a solvent that helps substances penetrate deeply into the skin.
>Applied twice daily for eight weeks, the combination produced complete clearance in 13 of 15 lesions (86.7 percent) among patients with low-risk basal cell carcinoma. This rate exceeded that of the standard topical treatment imiquimod, which cleared 8 of 14 lesions (57.1 percent). The vitamin C–DMSO formulation also caused fewer side effects and avoided the lasting skin hypopigmentation sometimes seen with conventional topical therapies.
