Hummin Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Panic all over the web now The crypto market swoon took an ugly turn early Monday after prominent lending firm Celsius paused withdrawals, aggravating the macro-driven weakness seen since Friday's US CPI release. Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency by market value, fell to $24,700, losing 10% in 24 hours. Prices have dropped 17% since the data released on Friday showed that U.S. inflation, measured by the consumer price index, rose to a 40-year high of 8.6% in May. The data reinforced expectations for aggressive liquidity withdrawal by the Federal Reserve. https://www.forbes.com/sites/omkargodbole/2022/06/13/bitcoin-crashes-ether-slides-as-major-crypto-lender-celsius-suspends-withdrawals-in-unprecedented-move/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) Just shows how bogus this and even gold traditional reasons people buy it. BC is going way down and gold is down the past 12 months as inflation is at record levels. Is it possible BC could actually go to zero? People have purchased gold over the years with most claiming: it is an investment and good hedge against inflation. Well, what happened? It should be way up at this point but going no place. The only investment that has sky rocketed is real estate. Edited June 13, 2022 by bkk6060 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your choice More about income not get rich. Gold zero income. Example buy bhp 2016 at $14. Put 250k in. Now worth $800k. Dividends $86k pa. Even if the shares go down you got income. 10x $86k is $860k on dividends. Gold zero income and it costs to store it. Makes no sense unless goes up a lot. If you hold a share for 10 years and it pays 5 to 10% dividend it covers inflation. Buying gold in 1980 it hasnt made anything. Barely covered inflation gross less storage fees you have lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding Precious Metals (especially Gold) is all about preserving purchasing power. Gold's purchasing power today is about what it was 100 years ago - in contrast, the USD has lost something like +90% of its purchasing power over the same period. Can't be bothered trying to find the Chart - use Prof Google to educate yourself Sorry but thats very ignorant. Gold has storage costs. So a net loss. Hold shares yielding 10% for 10 years. Free carry after 10 years. Cba shares $5 in about 1996 now $90 plus dividends. Rio Bhp Cba Anz Wbc Nab All killed gold when you include dividends over 5,10, 20 years.

I guess my pension low risk found did 23% last year post COVID of course, but I managed to put some more in to it before it regained it's value. That's how I like to play. I'm to old (53) to gamble my future now. I'm semi retired and retarded, so no worries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparktrader Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 From 1990 to 2020, the price of gold increased by around 360%. 2 Over the same period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 991% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For goodness sake - PURCHASING POWER is the aim - NOT fiat value (take at burton at the extremes of Weimar Germany, Turkey or Zimbabwe if you remain fixated on Capital "Value" and Dividends. Look at the AUD purchasing power over that period VS Gold (in AUD - FX movements also important as the USD has very likely greatly strengthened since 1996). Purchasing Power is the real thing that matters - not the smoke & mirrors of Fiat measures... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
