Gold Standard Resulted In “Fewer Catastrophes” – FT
Well, yeah, but the gold standard does not work too well for those who don't have any gold.

Cryptocurrencies: Modern Day Alchemy  (2)
I have tried to understand Bitcoin. The part I do not understand is: How and why is the quantity of Bitcoin actually limited?

Because: the person or the people who conceived, invented and programmed the algorithm that makes Bitcoin limited in number, could simply, or may be not so simply, change the very system, the program, the algorithm to increase the number of potentially, mathematically, logic...

When the Butterfly Flaps Its Wings  (4)
It surely is complicated. Speaking of "when a butterfly flaps its wings", I was in my back yard, harvesting some beans, tomatoes and cucumbers, and a nice butterfly, one of those orange and black monarchs
was flapping its wings.

Since I speak the butterfly language (a very rare ability), I asked it "what is the matter with you, flapping your wings like that?", and the butterfly answered "I think ...

What Is the Liquidity Trap
1116 words. Reading time 10 minutes, because you'll laugh, you'll cry, you fall off your chair.

Here are my two cents worth about money, employment and interest rates. I have no
economic theory or solution to propose, I am just speaking from experience.

1) A government that encourages shipping productive jobs overseas, because the
managers, owners and shareholders of large manufac...

Desperation Invades Vancouver Housing Bubble, as Hot Money Still Pumps up Toronto, Hype Overflows  (3)
Yup, a home is a great investment. It's always going to be worth something, but not more than what another is willing and able to pay for it. So you better don't owe too much on it.

France First: Marine Le Pen Speech Interrupted by Cheers “France! France!”  (1)
What do I see: America first, France first, England first, Russia first, Germany first, ....
and what about China, Brazil, India, don't they want to be first too?

We can't all be first, someone's gotta be second, someone's gotta be last. Any volunteers?

Merkel an Election Shoo-In Nope, Think Again
Never has "EU Gewalt" meant so little to so many by so few. No, that's not it.

Never was "EU Gewalt" so meaningless to so few because of so many ? No, that's not it either.

Never was "EU Gewalt" so meaningful to so many because of so many? We are getting warmer, but no.

Never in the field of "EU Gewalt" was so much owed by so many to so few. Ok, now I remember.

This will g...

End of Fed Independence! House Financial Services Committee Sends Warning Letter to Yellen “This is Unaccep...  (2)
Hmm, whenever a president or senate locks horns with the Fed, they'll raise interest rates and tighten the money supply, just to show who's boss, and the people will suffer. Isn't that old saw about "Let me control a nation's currency and I care not who makes its laws" still valid?
History repeating itself, or somewhat rhyming. See Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson, Kennedy, etc.
It's tiresome to witness th...

Italy Increasingly Likely to Abandon the Euro  (1)
No surprise. For as long as I can remember, Italy has always (at least since WWII) had their way with the Lira by saying "We believe our Lira is strong, and we won't devalue it", and then they'd go and devalue it. Then they'd apologize and promise that they would never do that again, until the next time. Then they'd redo and revamp the government for the umptennth time, and say "We want a strong currency, exce...

Bitcoin Moonshots to $1,150, Doubling in Past Six Months
Ok, so you say: "In a fully decentralized monetary system, there is no central authority that regulates the monetary base. Instead, currency is created by the nodes of a peer-to-peer network. The Bitcoin generation algorithm defines, in advance, how currency will be created and at what rate. Any currency that is generated by a malicious user that does not follow the rules will be rejected by the network and thus...
