3arketin* type kno+ that if omeone can decribe the problem better than you/ you +ill
aume they have the olution$ Since the tart of thi latet *lobal financial crii
bookhop are full of book decribin* the problem that are cauin* the GF!$
When you read or hear other +ho are a+ake to the GF!/ liten to their olution/ not
their decription of the problem$ #lmot anyone can decribe the problem/ but fe+ offer
real/ poitive/ empo+erin* olution$ Thi book doen:t 7ut concentrate on the problem
the main focu of thi publication i helpful u**etion and olution to the comin*
perfect economic torm$
Every bookhop alo ha a lar*e helf or ection +ith book dei*ned to help you have
more money$ Thi i not the olution$ Thi book i different/ thi book i dei*ned to help
the reader undertand the truth about money$ The truth about +hat i money and +hat i
currency$ 3ot of all the truth that additional money doe not e8uate to additional
happine$ #ny amount of money over the poverty level doe not increae happine/ it
7ut increae choice and option and +e already live in a +orld of choice and option
overload$ Thi brin* an2iety and tre and the oppoite of happine$ ?ence the name
of thi publication the theme i to live a imple balanced more elf reliant life$
For e2ample the vat ma7ority of thoe in the developed +orld apire to o+n their o+n
home$ But recent reearch u**et that home o+nerhip and happine do not
necearily correlate$ 3aterial thin* from beautiful home to fancy pen turn out to
provide le happine and more an2iety and +orry about loin* uch thin*$
So rather than u**et you trive to *et more money thi book ha a a *oal to help you
live a more imple balanced elf reliant life$ Which +ill in turn relieve an2iety that come
+ith modern life/ and +ill alo brin* a certain level of contentment and happine$
# point - +ant to clear up at thi early ta*e i - do not believe thin* +ill ever *o 3ad
3a2 or other imilar apocalype ituation$ Thi i not a doomday preper book$ 3any
time people like me try to be dicredited by makin* fun of thinkin* +e believe thin* +ill
*et o bad like in The Road by !ormack 3carthy$ Thi i an attempt to dicredit u a
doom and *loom propa*anda artit/ o do not liten to u$ - am not one of thoe$
- do not believe thin* +ill *et that bad at all and do not try to care people$ - do
ho+ever think harder time are do+n the road/ due to the perfect economic torm the
ne2t chapter talk about$ Unemployment +ill keep *oin* up/ +a*e +ill keep *oin* do+n
in real term meanin* they +ill buy le and le a cot of livin* keep *oin* up$ #
*overnment *et deeper into thi perfect economic torm they +ill have to cut back +ith
#uterity meaure every+here$ - predict not apocalype but there +ill be more riot and
civil unret around the +orld a the *lobal financial crii +oren and life *et harder for
everyone$ - do not claim to kno+ +hat it +ill be like for ure but the fact thi book
preent ho+ that the +ort of thi *lobal crii i not behind u but in front of u$ What
- am ayin* i the thin* +e have een in recent time are 7ut a mall peed bump on
the +ay to the main event +hich i fat approachin*$
Thi i nothin* to fear if you are prepared for it and a you +ill ee in the ne2t fe+
chapter it 7ut hitory repeatin*$ 4nce you are educated you do not need to fear thi
perfect economic torm/ you can be like me an apocalptimit a term invented by !hri
"uane$
"ecade a*o there +a a feelin* that cientific advancement +ould be able to feed the

+hat ha happened i the oppoite$ Science ha dama*ed the earth +ith *enetically
modified crop no+ preadin* beyond control and nuclear and foil fuel everely
dama*in* the Earth and the natural habitat of both human and all the other creature
God created$ 3y hope i that thoe readin* thi +ill +ant to be more informed and then
take tep in one +ay or another to live a more imple balanced elf reliant life no+ and
the u**etion in thi book can help you do 7ut that$
But the mot important reaon to be elf reliant in a imple balanced +ay the +ay thi
book u**et and not 1''E elf reliant the +ay other book recommend i becaue the
Bible ay to not rely on your o+n undertandin* but intead +e hould rely on God$
What thi mean i too look to +hat the Bible ay not our o+n thou*ht or man:
thou*ht ahead of God$ "oe relyin* on God mean +e can it back and e2pect God to
look after all our need +ithout doin* anythin*> 5oH God doe e2pect u to make a
incere effort ourelve$ Thi book ho+ +ay of doin* 7ut that$ 3y hope i that at
leat ome of the book +ill reonate +ith you if not all of it$
Even if +e never e2perience a diater or crii of any kind/ the elf reliant balanced

Why the need to live in a imple balanced elf reliant +ay in the firt place>
For more than A''' year a pattern ha continually repeated in +hich *overnment
debae and dilute their currency upply until a point +here the common pyche of the
populace and the collective ma mind of the people be*in to feel that omethin* in:t
ri*ht$
.ou probably feel that +ay ri*ht no+$
# the debaement pro*ree/ the population ene omethin* i +ron*$ They ene
the lo of purchain* po+er of their currency$ Then omethin* miraculou happen$
Throu*h the free market ytem/ the +ill of the public caue *old and ilver to
automatically revalue$ -n doin* o/ monetary preciou metal do an accountin* for all the
currency that +a created ince the lat revaluation$ Thi ha happened over and over
a*ain$ -f anyone trie to ar*ue it +ill no lon*er continue to happen then they are i*norant
of hitorical cycle$
-t: automatic/ it: naturalJ *old and ilver have al+ay done thi$ ,eople the +orld over
have an innate ene of the rarity of *old and ilver$ When paper currency become too
abundant/ and thu loe value/ man al+ay turn back to monetary preciou metal$
When the mae come ruhin* back/ the value 0purchain* po+er1 of *old and ilver
increae e2ponentially$
"urin* thee event there i al+ay an enormou uncertainty/ and it al+ay end badly$
-t end badly for the *overnment iuin* the currencie that died/ and it epecially end
badly for thoe +ho +ere not prepared for the crii$ -f you chooe to be prepared for
thi incomin* crii/ then you mut at firt educate yourelf/ and econd take action$
Thi book i about both education and takin* action$ -n the follo+in* pa*e you +ill find
both hitorical perpective and practical advice about ho+ to be prepared for +hat -
believe to be the perfect economic torm conver*in* on the entire +orld$
#t firt you may be urpried by the amount of hitory - have laid out$ But - aure you
there i *ood reaon for it$ For it i only by undertandin* the pat that +e can
undertand the preent$
Thi book +ill e8uip you +ith all you need ride out the comin* perfect economic torm/
and +ill e8uip you +ith kill and a mind et and the kno+led*e you need to take your
future into your o+n hand by leadin* a imple balanced elf reliant life$ En7oy$
!hapter 1 3onetary hitory #ncient time$
Gut the fact about +hat i money e2actly>
Before a medium of e2chan*e +a invented/ people traded/ uin* a barter ytem$ They
e2chan*ed *ood and ervice of e8ual value$ There +a no unit of account in the
e2chan*e/ the medium of e2chan*e +a 7ut e2chan*e$
But barterin* could be inconvenient$ For the ytem to +ork/ each party had to deire
the *ood that the other +a offerin*$ Thi i called a coincidence of +ant$ -n addition/
trader had to carry or care for cumberome trade item like animal or ba* of *rain$
-ncidentally barter can till +ork +ell on an occaional individual bai$ - happen to be
*ood +ith electronic *ad*et: and phone;mall computer$ But not very *ood at fi2in*
car no+ they all eem to be computer controlled$ So - +apped an hour unlockin* and
improvin* then ettin* up a *ara*e o+ner friend ne+ martphone +ith a ne+ operatin*
ytem$ ?e pent an hour ervicin* my car$ 5othin* formal/ nothin* in +ritin* 7ut a
favour for a favour$ 4f coure *overnment do not like barter becaue there i no ta2 to
pay$
3y +ife i a hi*hly 8ualified e2perienced beautician$ But there are many beauty
treatment that can:t be done to yourelf$ For e2ample eyelah e2tenion/ he tried
doin* her herelf but you really need to cloe your eye$ So no+ he re*ularly meet
up +ith other beautician and ha an e2chan*e of ervice$ 5o currency needed/ no ta2
to pay$ She pend an hour or o treatin* them and they then do her nail or hair or
omethin*$ Everyone ave money and you are payin* le ta2 than if you char*ed for
your ervice then +ent and paid for another ervice$
But itK urpriin* ho+ many kill you and your friend have$ -f omeone +ork in one
field and can *et you omethin* for free that you normally have to pay for/ can you
provide omethin* for free in return> S+appin* kill or even *ood you:ve made rather
than fiat currency cah i efficient o lon* a both partie feel they have had value$ .ou
7ut have to *et over the coincidence of +ant/ thi can be done throu*h *ood
reaonable ne*otiation$
So +hat really i 3oney>
Today/ +e:re accutomed to thinkin* of mall paper rectan*le or di*it on our on line
bankin* account a the definition of money/ and +e think of the *overnment of the
+orld a the only ource of money$ To honetly dicu ound money/ +e need to realie
+here our current money cutom came from$
#t firt/ it +a every man for himelf$ .ou ate or +ore +hat you could pick or catch$
Barter a +e aid +a the firt advance$ -f you had ome e2tra meat/ and your nei*hbour
had an e2tra fur/ you mi*ht make a direct e2chan*e$ -f food/ +ater/ clothin*/ and imple
tool are the only *ood on the market/ barter i fine 9 you can al+ay find omeone +ho
ha +hat you +ant and +ant +hat you have$
But a oon a there: baic manufacturin* and properity be*in increain*/ barter
become inade8uate$ Say you:re a hunter and you +ant a bed/ but the only bedmaker in
to+n i a ve*etarian$ What do you do then> .ou +ould have to fi*ure out +hat the
bedmaker +anted 0maybe tofu1/ and then find omeone +ho had tofu and +anted meat$
-f you couldn:t find that peron/ you +ould have to find a fourth peron 0omeone +ho
+anted meat/ and had the hat that the tofu maker +anted1/ or try to convince the
ve*etarian bedmaker to take the meat and trade it for omethin* ele$ 3eat/ ho+ever/
poil/ and o the bedmaker +ould have to unload it pretty 8uickly$ So/ unable to *et
your hand on anythin* the bedmaker +ant to conume/ you trade your meat for ome
alt and approach the bedmaker$
L6ook/ - kno+ you don:t +ant alt/ but think of all the people +ho do$ They ue it to
preerve their meat and flavour their oup$ #nd thi tuff i non9perihable/ o you can
hold it 8uite a lon* time$ #nd if/ +hen the tofu dealer come throu*h to+n/ he doen:t
+ant alt/ you can e2plain to him +hat -:ve e2plained to you 9 he can ue it to buy
omethin* he +ant$L -f you and the bedmaker a*ree/ you:ve 7ut created currency$
4r*anically/ more people in your community be*in takin* alt for payment/ even if they
have no intention to ue it/ becaue they kno+ other +ill accept it$
But 9 and thi i important 9 the value of alt currency i not entirely dependent on other
people acceptin* it a payment$ -f/ for ome reaon/ folk topped takin* alt a
payment/ you could ue it a/ +ell/ alt$ -n the ame +ay ilver today i ha over 1'/'''
application a/ +ell/ ilver/ a +ell a a monetary preciou metal$ The value of paper
currency today i entirely dependant on people acceptin* it a payment$
Salt +a a pretty *ood currency/ epecially before refri*eration/ becaue it +a +idely
demanded/ diviible do+n to the *rain/ very portable/ eay to +ei*h/ and could eaily be
teted for counterfeit by tatin* it$ Salt +a ued a a medium of e2chan*e in ancient
E*ypt and throu*h all dominant +orld po+er many time ri*ht up to the Roman +ho
ued alt for currency a a medium of e2chan*e$
But 7ut becaue alt erved a a medium of e2chan*e didn:t mean there +ould be no
other form of currency in circulation$ Tobacco leave mi*ht be +idely accepted a
payment$ Salt +ill not lat *eneration pain* on *enerational +ealth and it i not that
durable/ if it *ot +et you could loe your entire life avin*$ -ma*ine your life avin*
+ere kept in alt in +hat you thou*ht +a a afe place then there +a a flood> Which i
+hy people prefer to ave up over time *old and ilver +hich are money in and of
themelve$ But to really an+er the 8uetion +hat i money you firt need to
undertand the difference bet+een money and currency$ The official definition of
currency and money are=
!urrency mut be a medium of e2chan*e o +e have to be able to buy and ell thin*
+ith it$ -t ha to be a unit of account/ o one *ram or unit i e8ual to one *ram or unit$ -t
ha to be portable o not to lar*e or heavy$ -t ha to be diviible +hich mean you can
make chan*e$ "urable +hich mean it ha to ha to lat and not diolve in +ater or
evaporate or de*rade in near e2treme temperature$ #nd then omethin* called
fun*ible$ Fun*ible mean that each unit i interchan*eable o the unit in your pocket
buy the ame a the unit in my pocket$
3oney ha to be all thee thin* plu it ha to be a tore of value over lon* period of
time$ So if you only remember one thin* today remember that lot of thin* have been
currency but only t+o thin* have ever been money$ 5othin* ele meet #66 of thee
re8uirement and i a lon* term tore of value only *old and ilver are money in and of

ound reaonin* +hich i thi ne2t bit/ - am *oin* to ay that ilver +a mot probably
bein* ued a money lon* before thi firt ever recorded e2ample$ Even thou*h there
are no clear e2ample of financial tranaction before thi firt one$ There are everal
account of carryin* on in buine/ and mot importantly account ayin* they +ere
buyin* and ellin* lon* before #braham: firt recorded financial tranaction$ But the firt
ever record of the unit of account i later a already mentioned/ +hen #braham paid for
hi +ife: funeral +ith ilver$ The account: from before did not ay barterin* a mean of
e2chan*e it aid buyin* and ellin* o there mut have been a unit of account/ even if it
+an:t recorded$ Thi i not proof alone of my theory that ilver +a bein* ued a
money but further ound reaonin* to upport my theory come from Genei )=22
+here they +ere minin* copper and iron and other metal to make tool$ Why i thi o
interetin*> Well ilver ha a lo+er meltin* point than iron and ome of thee other
metal they +ere refinin*$ #lo ilver i many time a by9product of minin* copper and
iron and other metal$ So there +a a *ood chance they did have ilver at thee time
over a 1'''yr before the firt ever recorded financial tranaction - mentioned/ and the
point - am makin* in thi book i that ilver i nearly al+ay the money of lat reort but
alo the money of firt reort a +ell$ Silver +a often mentioned bein* ued a money
at thi time/ but copper ha no record of bein* ued a money until a lon* time/

The earliet kno+n financial artefact: are actually )1'' year old record of civil la+

So that +a the very be*innin* of monetary hitory/ +e are not ure the e2act time but
my theory i lon* before #braham: firt ever earliet recorded financial tranaction ilver
+a +hat +a bein* ued a money$ But human hitory did not tart that lon* before
#braham becaue he +a born only 2 year after 5oah died and 5oah +a born not

information in my book that can not be found any+here ele$ - am a very keen tudent of
the Bible all my life and in recent year monetary hitory/ o - formulated thee thou*ht
about the metal ima*e from "aniel chapter 2 and the monetary cycle that ha repeated
throu*h hitory$
- am not the firt to ay the reaon ilver +a o fittin* for 3edo ,eria +a becaue of
the ilver monetary ytem/ but - believe - am the firt to ay +hy *old repreented
Babylon$ #lo +hy !opper +a for ancient Greece a they +ere the firt to debae *old
and ilver +ith copper/ then iron for Rome and #n*lo9#merica becaue teel coin have
no+ replaced monetary ,3:$ Then the clay mi2ed +ith iron could repreent di*ital
currency +orth even le than teel or iron$
But that +a 7ut to et the cene on +hy to live elf reliant$ - +anted it to not be about
decribin* the problem but mainly olution that are helpful$

-t ha to be aid that thee ( dominant +orld po+er do not include every dominant
+orld po+er throu*h out hitory$ But - feel it doe include mot of the main one$ 3ot
other if not almot all dominant +orld po+er throu*h out all hitory +ent throu*h thee
ta*e of the monetary cycle that ended badly for them$ For e2ample Gen*hi Oahn:
rei*n +ent far further than #le2ander the *reat$ But hi dominant +orld po+er only
lated a fe+ *eneration unlike the ( main one - looked at$ But even hi and
ube8uent Ohan: +ent throu*h the monetary cycle/ there i a famou 8uote that ha
urvived until thi day$ LThe *reat Ohan 0!hinee ruler1/ caue the bark of tree/ made
into omethin* like paper/ to pa for money all over hi country$L -t: +ell +orth
repeatin* for emphai that many thin* have been ued a currency but only *old and
ilver are money in and of themelve$
So +e have 7ut looked at even of the dominant +orld po+er of hitory$ # - 7ut aid
there have been many many more dominant +orld po+er and le dominant +orld
po+er$ -t i a facinatin* ub7ect to tudy/ if you +ant to look at monetary hitory$ Even
in modern time the cycle ha repeated in leer +orld po+er like Wiemar Germany
then #r*entina a fe+ time recently/ then Wimbab+e and at the time of +ritin* it
happenin* in -ran/ to name 7ut a fe+$
- kno+ ome have dia*reed on comparion made to Wiemar Germany and Wimbab+e
for reaon relatin* to functional debt market 0Wiemar1 and the fact that 3u*abe i
abolutely nut9 *ranted our central plannin* overlord are cra<y too9 but they are far
more ubtle$ The moment that ma7or devaluation occur in the Wet/ it: *ame over for
them$
So there are al+ay difference every time thi cycle ha repeated$ -t +ill be different in
many +ay thi time around but it the ame cycle repeatin* that ha al+ay repeated$
From money to currency and back a*ain$
!hapter 2 3onetary ?itory modern time$
4ld a Gold and Silver monetary hitory i/ it i 7ut a relevant in modern time a
ancient time$ Gold +a and till i mainly bein* ued by kin* or the modern e8uivalent9
Bank no+aday or for very bi* financial accountin* ri*ht from the tart of hitory/ ilver
ha far more been ued a money throu*hout hitory$ Silver bein* the people money$
Gold not bein* ued for day to day purchae/ only le fre8uent lar*er tranaction$
# oon a paper +a invented or animal kin the firt form of paper/ the banker
peruaded people to tore their o called heavy and o they aid cumberome ilver in
the bank and then they +ould iue more convenient paper currency a receipt for their
real money$ They could then have e2chan*e rate for thee different type of currencie
be they tally tick or hell or animal kin +ith +ritin* painted on them 0the firt form
of paper currency1$
The problem +a the banker cleverly found out that they could iue more currency
receipt than they held *old and ilver$ #nyone could +rite on a piece of old animal kin
thi i +orth 1 ounce of ilver$ But no one +ould believe it +a +orth 1 ounce of ilver$
But the banker had the po+er to +rite thi i +orth 1 ounce of ilver on a many kin
a they could create and people believed it +a/ becaue they thou*ht the bank held 1
ounce of ilver for every LpaperL currency LnoteL they iued$ 4f coure the banker
deceptively iued far more than they held real money$ Thi i al+ay ho+ the monetary
cycle eem to tart$ The people +ould never +ap ilver for paper if they did not have
confidence in that paper to tart +ith/ but over time the confidence i taken for *ranted
by the ne2t *eneration 7ut a +e are eein* in the early 21t century$ But that
confidence i lo+ly bein* lot a - am +ritin* thi$ The e2act ame monetary cycle that
ha repeated for thouand of year i till repeatin* in our time$
Then over time people be*an to upect the bank +ere iuin* and pendin* more
currency than they had *old and ilver and the people be*an to loe confidence in thee
bit of LpaperL and tarted a ruh out of currency and into real money *old and ilver$
Then the truth become clear that there are far more of thee paper ounce of ilver
than real ounce$ The paper currency *oe to it true value of nothin* and real *old and
ilver become very very hi*hly valued$
Gohn 6a+ +a a *reat e2ample of confuin* people about the difference bet+een

#uthor G$ Ed+ard Griffin +rote a mut read book that ran*ed acro 2/''' year of

Griffin cut throu*h the obcuritie about the Fed that are intentionally meant to mytify

- ay it i not too complicated to undertand in fact it i very imple/ another +ay to ay
+hat Griffin ay i ho+ - put it 9 tryin* to confue people about the difference bet+een

So in 1D1) the +orld chan*ed a the monetary cycle repeat a normal$ -t al+ay end
badly and the 2'th century +a no e2ception$ WW1 +a the bloodiet +ar the +orld had

currencie +ill devalue compared to ilver bullion a more unit of currency are added
that are chain* a very limited amount of real ilver available for the population to buy$
#fter all if e2pandin* the currency upplie brou*ht properity in modern time then

The Gapanee national debt ur*ed over the 1 8uadrillion yen or 1/''' trillion yen in

the +ealthy Wimbab+e/ the breadbaket of #frica in 2''C$
So the cycle i repeatin* 7ut a every other time over the lat five millennium$ For my

+ould brin* an end to the international monetary ytem tarted in (1$ Thi +ould be the

to ay at thi ta*e +hen - am +ritin* thi in 2'11/ )'yr after the temporary ne+
international monetary ytem +a tarted$ But one +ay or another - +ould ay the
monetary cycle +ill repeat and a ne+ ytem baed on *old or ilver +ill replace the
current one/ if that: from !hina like - upect or not i uncertain$ But the natural
monetary cycle +ill repeat/ *old and ilver +ill revalue to account for all the unit of

# uual !hri i +ay ahead/ +hen you look at Gim Sinclair Gim Rickard and all/ they

The +arnin* from !hri "uane i people like 7im inclair 7im rickard do not +ant the

monetary preciou metal itelf a money> 5ot a tandard baed on the monetary ,3:
that can be manipulated$
Why not a ilver monetary ytem +here you can di*itally buy thin* +ith *ram of ilver
or milli*ram of ilver on a di*ital card;pa+ord ytem ame a bitcoin but it i fully
backed and redeemable for real ilver$ See my ilver*ram monetary ytem later in the
book +hich i dei*ned to be a competitor to everythin* ele out there and let the free
market decide$ So it +ould be poible to pay +ith either real ilver or di*itally take
poeion of erial number of ilver *ram in a vault$ But there mut be a +ay to make
ure that no more di*ital promie are out there than real bullion backin* up the di*ital$
Thi i ho+ the monetary cycle al+ay repeat$ #nyone +ith any ene at all +ould
prefer di*ital real ilver *ram than Bitcoin or +orld of +arcraft unbacked currency unit
or unit of fiat currency>
Silver and copper are alo unlike bitcoin in that they are tan*ible currencie and have
been money for thouand of year o are therefore on the hori<on +hen the end of the
temporary ytem near/ and are not concentrated in the hand of Billionaire like Gim
Rickard;Sinclair and hi criminal bankin* aociate uch a the Rothchild:$ They
hate ilver becaue they do not have any and can not *et that much +ithout endin* the
manipulation$
#nyone advocatin* a *old tandard i not a friend of the common man$ They do not
+ant people bein* intereted in ilver and copper/ they +ant people to only think about
*old becaue they have o much of it themelve$ #nd becaue it i o plentiful already
in the hand of the elite compared to ilver$
Thi i a very a important point to remember$ Thi i the reaon - am only intereted in
tackin* ilver and copper the t+o other monetary metal$ When the dollar collape
tart happenin* and the end of the temporary international monetary ytem
approache the maintream media +ill all be talkin* about *old becaue there are
million of ton available and the price +ill be *oin* o hi*h it could eaily oak up mot
of the currency +ithout brin*in* about the end *ame$
Silver +ill be oarin* alo at thi time but - +ill not ell any ilver/ - plan to lo+ do+n
buyin* it or top buyin* it +hen it i at ne+ all time real inflation ad7uted hi*h and
+itch to tackin* copper$ - kno+ copper +ill never be rare like ilver +ill be but it i till a
monetary metal +ith thouand of year of hitory and it can not be printed out of thin
air$ -t i not a monetary preciou metal thou*h/ that title only *oe to *old and ilver$ But
copper i the only other monetary metal +ith thouand of year hitory a money$
Think about thi/ rou*hly the ame amount of currency unit i flo+in* into ilver and
*old every year$ For e2ample in 2'1@ around V1$1 Billion flo+ed into *old ea*le and
about V1$1 Billion unit of fiat flo+ed into ilver$ That mean B'[ time the amount of
ounce of ilver +ere taken off the market than *old$ Thinkin* about ho+ there are
million of ton of *old available before it run out/ and the fact that *old i not really
ued up like ilver i/ you can ee the +ar i eaier to +in by takin* ilver off the market$
- can ee in the future more unit flo+in* into ilver than *old/ it 7ut brin* the end
nearer every ounce of ilver taken off the market$

rate in all of hitory$ Thi 1C3 cube of available ilver bullion include etimation of
privately held ilver bullion by invetor and ima*ine that all the ETF and ilver
derivative are tellin* the truth that they buy and tore in their vault 1o< of real ilver
bullion for every 1o< of paper promie they ell to invetor$ 3any believe they do not
tore a much ilver a they promie to people on paper/ if true it +ould make that 1C3
cube of available ilver much maller a thi ilver make up a lar*e amount of the 1C3
cube$ -t ha been proven in ome cae 03or*an Stanley *ot fined for thi and did not
even deny it/ 7ut aid everyone i doin* it1 that they 7ut take your currency and iue a
broken promie bit of paper$ They do not *o and buy ilver bullion like they promie to$
-t free currency for them and they lie and ay they tore ilver for every promie they
ell +hich create a phantom upply of ilver +hich doe not e2it$
By the time you are readin* thi dependin* on ho+ many year after 2''( +hen - am
+ritin*/ thi official number 1C3 cube of the +orld available ilver upply +ill be much
maller/ a mart invetor do not trut paper promie and ell them to buy phyical$
Then a more ilver i *ettin* ued up and dicarded than i from mined and recycled
upply$ So thi i a very important point to remember/ the official number 2@3[ cube of
available *old i *ettin* bi**er every year and the probably le that 1C3 cube of the

the available ilver and *old in the +orld$ # - *o into later/ - believe the cube of *old i
much lar*er and the cube of ilver i much maller$
Thi i true until the price of ilver *oe up to meet *old and it i then an economic viable
propoition for the difficult and e2penive tak to *o and locate it and recover it from
landfill or +here ever it ha been dicarded$ #nd ho+ much of thi 1C3 or le ilver
bullion cube really i available for invetor to buy>
3ot ilver invetor includin* myelf hold it in very tron* hand and +ill not ell even if
the :paper price: *oe up a lot in unit of fiat currency/ they kno+ the value i much
*reater than the paper :price:$ 3ot ilver invetor are very +ell educated and +ill not
+ant to ell ilver bullion for unit of fiat currency +hen they kno+ the unit +ill oon be
+orth le$ They kno+ :price: mean nothin*/ F#6UE i everythin*$ They are torin*

a*ree to never ell/ only ue to borro+ fund a*aint after the temporary international
monetary ytem ha ended and been replaced +ith +hatever come ne2t$ So that cube
of #F#-6#B6E ilver on Earth may be even maller$ -f you do not count a available to
buy +hat i held by private ilver invetor in very tron* hand +ho a*ree to never ell
no matter ho+ many unit of dyin* fiat currency i added to the e2ponentially e2pandin*
upply and are chain* after the decreain* cube of available ilver bullion$ Silver i the
people money$ Thi i not a true for *old a it i for ilver bullion becaue *old i
mainly held by central bank and the +ealthy +ho could ell into the market at any time$
4nce a*ain the central bank have in recent time no+ run out of their once lar*e ilver
bullion holdin*$
Gut picture that in your mind a 2A[3 or likely much lar*er cube of *old on a tenni
court/ and an 1C3 or likely maller cube of ilver on half of the court ne2t to it/ becaue
it cubed it i around )2 maller and remember ilver i rou*hly around half the denity
of *old$ So if the t+o cube +ere the ame i<e there +ould be only around half the
number of ounce of ilver$ Thi mean that in current +orld+ide available inventorie
there i a lot le ounce of ilver than *old bullion available for invetor to buy$ That i
if you believe the official number/ - peronally think there i a lot more than ei*ht time
le ilver bullion than *old bullion available for invetor to buy$ Thi ratio i *ettin*
lar*er/ oon even by the official number there +ill be ten time le ilver bullion
available for invetor to buy than *old bullion$ #lmot certainly there i more *old bullion
in the +orld that i not commonly kno+n about becaue it ha been kept ecret and no+
i not kno+n about that could be old into the market/ o there could be a lot le ilver
available than *old but it not certain$ There certainly i le chance of any lar*e ilver
tockpile hidden a+ay a i the cae +ith *old bullion tockpile that could be old into

So +hat if +e dicovered one day that *old i 54T very carce> That cube of available

WeroH Silver can never be found in it natural tate/ it al+ay ha to be refined +hich i
an arduou difficult proce$ Thi i +hy the Bible talk about in ,roverb 2=) earchin*
for the truth/ and ue the illutration if you earch for it a to hidden treaure a for

3ore likely than lot of *old ha been lot i that it ha been hidden a+ay and thi i +hy
ome claim there could be million of ton of *old in play in the +orld$ Thi +ould make
the cube of *old much much bi**er than the 22392A3 cube of *old that ome claim$
The difference i that *old doe not rut or corrode in any +ay$ Silver doe$ -t take a

not ilver becaue ancient ilver can not be ued in indutry or added to +orld+ide

Thi 8uote i an eye9opener$ 5ot raiin* price to offet hi*her cot ho+ that
companie are reluctant to raie price$ The reaon of coure i that the U$S$ economy
i in dire trait/ +ith trapped conumer already findin* it difficult to make end meet$
So companie are faced +ith the ituation that demand for their product +ill fall if they
raie price$
There i one other point - +ould like to make about my revie+ of commodity price on
the World Bank ite$ They actually include one other commodity +ith price from
Ganuary 1DC' to the preent 99 ilver$ The eye9openin* point i
that ilver i le than A' percent of it price @)
year a*oHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
?o+ i it poible that ilver can be o cheap *iven it ue in o many ne+ application
and the continuin* dra+do+n of it above9*round tock> We all of coure kno+ the
an+er to that 8uetion becaue ilver i part of the central plannerK cheme to keep
the price of the preciou metal a lo+ a they can$ .et *old i 1D2 percent of it price
at the end of Ganuary 1DC'$ So +hy hanKt the ilver price rien at the ame rate>
Some people +ill an+er that 8uetion in a variety of +ay/ but to me there i only one
an+er$ The price of ilver i much eaier to control than the price of *old becaue
ilver i a much maller market/ o paper derivative can have a much bi**er impact on
ilver$ #fter all/ one +ealthy individual controlled the +hole ilver market by himelf for a
+hile leadin* to it price pike in 1DC'$ So ima*ine +hat a *roup of *overnment and
their bullion bank a*ent can do +ith their combined reource if they are intent on
manipulatin* ilver$
But re*ardle of the on*oin* manipulation of the ilver price/ one obviou fact tand
out from my comparion of commodity price 99 ilver i very/ very cheap$ Silver i by far
the cheapet of the B@ commoditie - compared$ That make ilver a tremendouly
undervalued aet and therefore one of the bet buy on the planet today$
The difference i they have plenty of *old to ell into the market to keep price
uppreed but they have no+ run out of ilver tockpile$
We are eein* back+ardation in the *old and ilver market once a*ain/ and thi eem

familiar1 +hich had been mildly poitive/ but no+/ particularly in the near9term/ they have
alo crept back into bein* ne*ative$
The bottom line here i all of thi u**et that the ilver market +ill *o i*nificantly
hi*her from here/ and 8uite poibly the +orld +ill realie that *old i not nearly a rare
or ueful a ilver i$
Some have aid the +orld can not *o back to ilver a money becaue there i 7ut not

you realie the current *lobal financial crii i really all about ilver$
4f coure/ uch a cenario mi*ht ound rather odd in the preent market environment/
epecially *iven that the price of *old ha 7ut been cruhed back under V1/2'' per
ounce/ and +ith the price of ilver till +ell belo+ 1DC': VA' and even under V2'$
Given the remarkably hi*h ratio of the price of *old to ilver/ ilver could certainly *o up
to meet *old baed on imple fundamental$ Thi i not only probable in monetary
term/ but it i alo likely due to it rarity and numerou application a a relatively
cheap indutrial metal$
The comin* ur*e in ilverK price could indeed trump ilverK current ue in indutry a
the preciou metal return to true monetary tatu yet a*ain$ ,erhap not a actual

mana*ed to *et throu*h it marketin* departmentH
Ultimately/ thi apparently hi*h pricin* may be more ymbolic intead of directly related
to the price of the ilver metal contained in the coin/ but it doe preent evidence that the
mea*e about the real value of ilver i *ettin* throu*h to at leat ome monetary
authoritie$
?o+ +ill the ne2t +ave of ilver coin buyer vie+ thi unuual development> -f they
bother to do the math/ it can only brin* confuion *iven +here the paper ilver market i
currently tradin*$
Whenever thi cycle ha repeated throu*hout hitory there ha al+ay been plenty of
ilver bullion available compared +ith the population of the Earth +antin* to buy it$ 5o+
there i a hu*e population of the planet +ell over ( billion at the time of +ritin* and in a
fe+ year *ettin* on for 1' billion involved in the *lobal financial crii and only enou*h
ilver bullion to fit on half a tenni court to *o around everyone on Earth$
- believe thi cycle +ill happen a*ain very oon/ and even thou*h thee number of
available *old and ilver bullion can not be kno+n e2actly for ure/ +e do kno+ there i a
lot more *old bullion in the +orld but thi time there i very/ very little real ilver available
in the +orld compared to *old bullion and compared to +orld population$ Someone
+orked out that there i only available around a 1(th of an ounce of ilver left each for
everyone on Earth$ So if you have more you are deprivin* omeone ele$ Throu*h mot
of hitory a 1'th of an ounce of ilver i +orth 12 hour hard labour/ or a full day +a*e$
5o+ there i not enou*h left for everyone to have even that much each$ So ilver ha to
*o up in value a lon* lon* +ay to revalue accordin* to the rarity in comparion to +orld
population$ -t can happen any+here in the +orld to tart +ith and then pread around the
planet a everyone +ant to chan*e their +orthle currency for ilver bullion$
Oeepin* thin* in perpective i a *ood idea$ Silver i like *old/ money in and of itelf at

Gut like in time pat +hen the people +ere fooled into thinkin* currency like animal

Gut becaue the mae are fooled about +hat i currency and +hat i money/ doe not

The central bank kno+ the truth that 7ut a every other time in hitory creatin* more
currency +ill do more harm lon* term but for no+ it kick the can do+n the road$ 3ake
the problem +ore for omeone ele to deal +ith in the future$ So for no+ they 7ut
+ant the eay option$ Thi ha happened in much the ame +ay in all the e2ample
looked at in thi book$ -t +ill end in 7ut the ame +a a the other e2ample/ a ruh out
of currency and into *old and ilver money$
.e there +ill be more and more currency abue all around the +orld$ There +ill come a
time +hen no matter ho+ much currency they create and add to the upply it +ill not
make much difference becaue people have lot confidence in it$ But today people are
o brain+ahed and ditracted from the truth about +hat money i/ that day could be
ome +ay off$
The analo*y *iven by "avid 3or*an another real money e2pert i like a flock of bird all

The +orld i conumin* the )(th element Silver/ like never before in all of hitory$ 4f all

ilver ha/ etimation are that of all the *old ever mined DCE of it ha not been
conumed$ The 2E of *old that ha been conumed or lot and not yet recovered i
economically recoverable if it can be located/ unlike the DCE of ilver that ha been
conumed and the arduou tak of locatin* it and recoverin* it only become cot
effective +hen the price of ilver reache the price of *old$ Which it ha to and +ill at

-t cot around the ame price in ener*y and labour to retrieve any preciou metal from

There are four preciou metal but only t+o of them are monetary preciou metal$ The
difference bet+een *old and ilver throu*h hitory ha fluctuated a little but been cloe
to about 1B ounce of ilver mined for every one ounce of *old$ So the free market
dicovery found the price of ilver to be thi natural ratio/ around 1B ounce bou*ht the
ame amount a one ounce of *old$ Today becaue ilver i *ettin* depleted comin* out
of the *round there i no+ le than 1' ounce mined for every one ounce of *old$ .et
the price ratio i over A' o< ilver priced the ame a 1 o< *oldHHH When - firt tarted

mined for *old ounce mined i alo fallin* oon it +ill be ei*ht ounce mined for every
one ounce of *old/ and thi i *oin* to fall even more in year to come +hich i
incredible +hen you conider that *old i alo *ettin* depleted and they are havin* to *o
deeper to find more *old$ Some mine in #frica the miner are +orkin* o deep they
have to +ear pace uit becaue of the heat$ -f they *o deeper they +ill find more *old
but it +ill cot a lot to mine it$ Silver i different/ ilver naturally depoit itelf near the

much ilver i mined for *old i fallin* and +ill continue to fall a the lat of the ilver i
depleted$
-t i 8uite trai*htfor+ard to predict +hich metal +ill be in *ood upply in year to come
and +hich +ill be in hort upply$ Fortunately metal in *ood upply include *old/
aluminium/ iron/ ilicone and titanium alon* +ith other$
3etal eaily predicted to be on endan*ered lit include ome that not many have even
heard of like indium and ome of the rare Earth$ There i one metal that everyone ha
heard of more endan*ered than any other and i aid to be the firt element that human
+ill deplete and +ill become e2tinct in indutrial 8uantitie 0by the ton1 that i of coure
ilver$
Silver i inherently carceJ etimation place it economically viable proven reerve at
around 1A to 1( year upply at current conumption rate$ Even the mot optimitic
etimate aumin* many lar*e ne+ dicoverie predict only 2'year left before ilver i
depleted of economically viable depoit from the Earth crut$ Even if there are lar*e
undicovered depoit of ilver eay to *et at 0unlikely1 you have to conider that
demand i increain*$ 3ined upply of ilver i alo increain* a fe+ percent every year$
They are depletin* the lat of the ilver reerve at a fater rate$ That 2' year etimate
until mined upply become very carce could be a lot ooner$ 4f coure it +ill never dry
up completely there +ill al+ay be mall amount comin* in from mine previouly
thou*ht to be depleted$ But remember at the moment there i a 7ut in time inventory
A'E of mined upply to meet indutrial demand and A'E to meet invetor demand$
They are both increain* year after year$ There are no real lar*e tockpile left to peak
of any+here on Earth unlike *old$ The only reaon there ha not been evere horta*e
of ilver o far i becaue o much invetment demand i flo+in* into paper promie for

*ame over for the manipulation$ Where +ill thi ilver come from>
#ccordin* to the Silver -ntitute/ Which i 7ut one ource and ome are not ure if they

So it look like for 2'12 rou*hly A'E +ent to indutrial demand/ rou*hly 2AE +ent to

do+n a lon* +ay$ Thi i natural upply and demand force in operation$
Then in 1DDD +e did the ame thin*/ the ,S2 +a releaed in Gapan +ay ahead of the

Then in 2''A the ,S@ +a releaed in Gapan$ Thi time demand really +a cra<y in the

+a o hi*h at thi time compared +ith very limited upply$ There +ere thouand +ho
+anted one for every one available and only about 2'O conole for all of Gapan$ The
free market +ork itelf out and the price i evident after the free market force of upply
and demand et the price$
- actually lined up outide the bi**et electronic tore +ith all the Gapanee *amer 2
day before the official releae$ 3y *irlfriend and her iter kept comin* to ee me and
keep my place in the line +hile - +ent for break and they brou*ht me food and drink$ #t

fi*ure out +ay to ave ilver/ other manufacturer tart uin* more ilver$ But a lon* a
the manipulation keep ilver price o lo+ there i no incentive to ue le ilver +hen it

The point i that monetary demand for ilver ha never hit the ilver market at a time
+hen all the +orld: ilver ha been conumed by indutry$ When invetment demand
really doe hit/ the reult for the value of ilver +ill be pectacular and atoundin*$ -
don:t really think - can +rite about +hat it mi*ht be like/ becaue it mi*ht take more
creative capacity than - can conceive of$
Think about thee fact/ and thi point$ -t mean that there are no hitorian +ho can
point to any hitoric e2ample of +hat the future for ilver +ill be like$ There are no
monetary e2pert/ no invetor/ no ne+letter +riter/ no creative +riter/ +ho can tell

solid silver cast to various weights corresponding to a traditional system of
units related by simple fractions and multiples, one of which is the baht.
The name for the currency in Turkey and Italy before the Euro is Lira which
comes from the Latin word Libra which is the same as pound, it comes from
a pound of silver also. Which is why we write pounds in weight as lbs
which comes from Libra.
In !panish speaking countries the word meaning weight is "eso. #riginally

-t i eay to ee a pattern here/ - could *o on but the point i very +ell made$
-ndeed/ ilver: monetary role ha been o univerally reco*nied throu*hout hitory that
the very +ord for ilver i money in many lan*ua*e$ -n -talian/ Spanih and French the
+ord for :money: and :ilver: can be interchan*ed and 1'': of other lan*ua*e$ -n
?ebre+/ +hat the firt part of the Bible +a +ritten in the +ord keaph mean both ilver

-f by definition then/ *old and ilver are true +ealth/ and they have been for the lat
A'''[ year$ -f then you accumulate more ounce any *iven year than you had the year
before then you are by definition more +ealthy re*ardle of the temporary paper price$
But that: not ho+ people think/ they think - bou*ht at thi paper price and it no+ at thi
lo+er paper price o - am le +ealthy$ ,aper price i temporary$ When the ne+
temporary monetary ytem +a brou*ht about in 1D(1/ +e +ere told openly it +a to be

that matter$ Remember price mean nothin* value i everythin*$ There can be an
infinite amount of paper ounce added to the upply and old at any time/ 0ometime in

it i fraudulent broken promie to deliver ilver that doe not e2it +ith the only purpoe
to uppre the price/ it ha nothin* to do +ith the free market real value of real ilver$
The volume of the paper ilver contract needed to be created out of thin air and old
into the market need to be lar*er and lar*er to keep the price uppreed it i no+ o
*larin*ly obviou that the market i fake$ The pot price ha nothin* to do +ith ilver it i

What better +ay of keepin* the price of omethin* from riin* than by oakin* up mot

o+n mind up/ but - peronally do not believe thi attempt to try and reduce demand for
ilver$
To addre that concern/ the Wahin*ton/ "!9baed Wilon !enter recently launched a
public databae aimed at identifyin* Mproduct containin* ilver and other nanoparticle$N
What are ilver nanoparticle>
Silver nanoparticle are tiny particle of ilver P a 5ina Zuadro/ +ho +ork +ith the
Wilon !enter and i aociate director at the Fir*inia Tech !enter for Sutainable
5anotechnolo*y/ recently told !B! 5e+/ MQtRhe only thin* that Qditin*uiheR a ilver
nanoparticle from a ilver poon or a ilver earrin* i the fact that it i o/ o very mall$N
E2actly ho+ mall can vary P ilver nanoparticle ran*e bet+een 1 and 1''
nanometer in i<e$ To put that in perpective/ a nanometer i e8ual to one9billionth of a
meter$
Thee nanoparticle can be created in a variety of +ay$ # 5anomedicine article
e2plain that +hile they are traditionally prepared via Mchemical ynthei baed on the
chemical reduction of ilver nitrate/N they Mcan alo be ynthei<ed uin* biolo*ical
method$N # yet/ no tudie have been completed on +hether different preparation
method affect efficacy$
# a ide note it i virtually impoible to *et the nanoparticle back from landfill or
+here ever they end up +hen the product are dicarded$ #lo the point to remember if
ilver revalue to it true value +hen the manipulation end thee product containin*
nanoparticle +ill not be noticeably affected in price o demand for ilver +ill not *o
do+n i*nificantly$ The demand for ilver i o pread out in tiny amount over a vat
number of product and ervice$
5e+ databae addree concern
For the mot part/ +orrie 0read propa*anda1 about ilver nanoparticle tem from the
fact that there i not much information on their potential ne*ative effect$ Zuadro
e2plained to !B! 5e+/ M+e donKt really undertand very +ell +hat can happen to
people +hen they *et e2poed to hi*h doe of ilver nanoparticle$N Even if thouand
of year of hitory ri*ht back to ancient E*ypt ho+ poitive medical ue of ilver$ #fter
thouand of year of benefit of uin* ilver they till ay no better to ue our bi*
pharma unatural product becaue +e +ant to keep profit and po+er$
ThatK an iue lar*ely due to the the fact that ilver nanoparticle are included in many
everyday product$ While they are probably mot +ell kno+n for the medical ue
decribed above/ they are alo ued in toothpate/ toothbruhe/ face cream/ kitchen
utenil and can even be embedded into paint/ te2tile uch a toy and under+ear to
increae reitance to mold and bacteria$
The Wilon !enterK databae/ called the 5anotechnolo*y !onumer ,roduct
-nventory/ aim to help conumer P and/ the or*ani<ation hope/ policy maker P
Nmake up their o+n mind on the afety or efficiency of a product/N by informin* them of
e2actly +hich product contain ilver and other nanoparticle$ 4r you could ay a lat
ditch attempt to try to reduce demand for ilver by preadin* miinformation and
propa*anda becaue demand i till more than upply and they have to keep the price
of ilver do+n to prolon* the life of the temporary international monetary ytem$ Bi*
,harma are hand in hand +ith bi* *overnment and both have interet in turnin* people
a+ay from ilver both a money and a ueful product$
!urrently/ the databae include 1/B2C product from around the +orld/ +ith ilver bein*
the mot common material in the databae/ a per !B! 5e+$ Each product ha it o+n
pa*e +here there i a ection ho+in* +hat reearcher ay about it/ a +ell a one

The ilver intitute ay L3ovin* for+ard/ the center plan to ue cro+dourcin* to keep
the databae accurate and up to date$ Uer +ho re*iter are able to Mubmit relevant

een$L That lat 8uote i very tellin*$
- +ould ay it an obviou attempt to diuade ilver demand but a the ilver kinned
man hoa2 backfired on them thi databae +ill 7ut brin* to the for ho+ ueful ilver i
and maybe the truth about demand i *reater than upply o +hy ha the price not *one
up> Then the truth about ho+ the *lobal financial crii i actually all about ilver and the
difference bet+een currency and money$
3edical9related ilver demand and the ilver market
3any of the medicinal ue of ilver are fairly ne+/ and a lar*e number are conidered
novelty item/ like the ilver tannin* product$ But mot ilver9bearin* health9related
item are not ne+ product$ Rather/ addin* ilver i conidered to make an e2itin*
product better$
Given that the metal itelf i a key ellin* point/ it ue provide a competitive advanta*e
rather than a neceary cot/ ay a Silver -ntitute report$
The report alo ay that depite the initial cot of ilver9bearin* product/ the lon*er9
term benefit of reduced pendin* on aftercare may 7utify the economic cot of uin*
thee material$ #lthou*h +ith ilver price bein* uppreed by uch a *reat e2tent the
cot of addin* ilver in uch mall amount i minucule before the manipulation end$
,erhap only time +ill tell +hether conumer at the pharmacy +ill pay more for
banda*e or firt9aid cream containin* ilver than for thoe +ithout it after the
manipulation ha ended/ but for no+ +ith ilver bein* o artificially cheap conumer are
conumin* thee product like there i no tomorro+$ 4ne thin* i for ure each
individual medical ilver demand doe not repreent a lar*e portion of overall fabrication
demand$ The 8uantitie ued in mot application are very mall and +ith the price o
artificially uppreed it hardly make a difference to the cot of the end product$
Retrievin* the tiny amount of ilver from banda*e or other imilar application i not
nearly cot effective +hile the manipulation i keepin* the ilver price o unbelievably
lo+$ -f a ilver product like a bo2 of ilver embedded plater or ilver containin* tannin*
pill;health pill contain about a 1''th of an ounce of ilver in each pack old and ay in
the future each pack ell for V1'$ -f the ilver price *oe to V1'' per ounce from the
V2'o< a - type thi/ then they only need to raie the price by le than V'$C' to ay
V1'$C' each pack to cover the price raie of the tiny 8uantity of ilver in there$ So ilver
revaluin* to nearer it true value +ill not reduce it conumption becaue each ue i
tiny amount pread over thouand of application$
-n 2'1'/ total demand for all uch application +a etimated to be le than '$A million
ounce 03o<1$ 3edical ilver i conidered a likely *ro+th area/ the aociated demand
i e2pected to *ro+ on an e2ploive cale$ The Silver -ntitute report predict that
medical9related ilver demand could approach @' 3o< by 2'1A and a much a C' 3o<
by 2'2'$
Silver may provide important health benefit for the foreeeable future and uch
application are increain*ly likely to have a i*nificant impact +ith re*ard to the lat of
the available ilver upply but not much impact on pricin* until the manipulation i over$

bid on everythin* everyday 7ut over the tartin* price and there are many different
piece of ilver available$ 4ccaionally - +in the auction for about a Y1 includin* delivery$

ilver o cheap$
# - +rite thi - am biddin* on many item for e2ample ome Wholeale Gift 6atet Solid

have bou*ht all kind of pendant and everythin* you can ima*ine/ a lon* a it D2A or

up/ they could not keep up$ Thi i alo +hy there i not all that much ilver+are left in

So DDD fine ilver i +orth a lot more per *ram than the ame amount of ilver in a D2A
terlin* ilver item if you are in a hurry to ell$ For eay fi*ure ay a 1''*ram DDD ilver
piece i till +orth more than a ay 11' *ram terlin* ilver piece/ +hich i D2$AE ilver

the mot amount of *ram of ilver for the lo+et amount of unit of fiat currency$ To

- +ould no+ like to talk about buyin* ilver bullion coin and bar or for that matter any
ilver artifact or ob7ect that are valued much hi*her than their ilver content$
5umimatic and emi9numimatic are uually referrin* to a *old and ilver coin or
bar that have perceived value *reater than that of their metal content/ uually due to
them bein* old or rare$
- have very tron* vie+ on thi$ - +ill ay ri*ht no+ that - am facinated by monetary
hitory and eein* old form of money ued throu*h out the a*e/ but not at all
intereted in collectin* numimatic if they are valued hi*her than the price of another
piece of ilver at the preent time you are buyin*$ - am only intereted in the amount of
monetary preciou metal$ -f for intance there are t+o 1 ounce round for ale and one
+a a emi numbie 0maybe a rare or old coin1 and one +a ay a US ilver Ea*le
minted thi year or any year/ if they +ere the ame price 0the current price of 1o< ilver
at that time1 then of coure - +ould *o for the emi numimatic$ But almot certainly the
eller +ould +ant a bit more for the older rare coin$ -f that +a the cae then - +ould
chooe the ne+ ilver ea*le for the current ilver price becaue - am only intereted in
*ettin* the mot amount of *ram of ,3 for my fiat currency a - can$ 3aybe - could buy
everal ilver Ea*le for the ame price a 1 numimatic ilver coin$
Be careful of numimatic value durin* a dollar collape$ -t: *oin* to be a very treful
time$ Oeepin* it reco*ni<able could help$ 5ot everyone +ho ha omethin* you need i
*oin* to care about the difference bet+een a 3S9(' Oookaburra and a cratched up
ea*le$ - am only intereted in the *ram of ilver$
The other thin* to bear in mind/ there are uncrupulou individual and *roup
particularly in !hina but - mut not ay only there/ +ho are mintin* numimatic out of
real *old and ilver and it ni*h on impoible to tell if they really are a real *enuine
piece many hundred of year old or a recently minted replica$ #ll you can tell eaily i
the metal content/ if it pure ilver or not +hich thee replica are pure ,3 made to look
e2actly like an old piece$ With very very lo+ ilver price at the moment it not +orth
fakin* re*ular bullion becaue it almot cot a much to make fake product a it doe
the ilver one$ But 5umimatic and emi9numimatic are +orth makin* fake verion
of out of pure ilver/ and the !hinee in particular are o *ood at it$ Some rare coin that
are thou*ht to have not many in e2itence actually have many/ many around the +orld$ -t
i almot impoible to tell +hich are the real old coin and +hich are made in recent
time becaue they are all made from pure ilver$ Thi i +hy - keep ayin* every *ram
of ilver *oin* to be +orth the ame +hen the manipulation end/ it doent matter +hat
form it in$ Why pay more for fancy dei*n or older coin +hen you can *et more *ram
of le currency$
The only 5umimatic coin - ever bou*ht +ere year a*o before - +a o +ell educated
about ilver bullion$ - bou*ht t+o +hat - thou*ht to be *enuine piece of ei*ht very mall
coin aid to be many hundred of year old$ - did my reearch and teted them then
decided to buy them$ #ll - can do i tet them to ee if they are pure ilver +hich they
are$ But - have no +ay of kno+in* if they are *enuinely hundred of year old or made in
recent time in a !hinee factory$ 4n reflection - could have bou*ht a lot more *ram of
ilver in another form for the ame amount of unit of currency$ - paid a lar*e premium
for the numimatic value$
With the advent of @" printer no+/ - kno+ from e2perience that anythin* can be
canned in then printed out of ilver clay then flamed to make into olid ilver$ Thi could
include numimatic coin or bar or abolutely anythin* made out of ilver$ Thi i +hy -
am not intereted in collectin* anti8ue ilver piece for more than the value of the ilver
in them$ For e2ample hundred of year old anti8ue ilver candle tand or other ilver
ornament or ancient artifact$ ?o+ do you kno+ if they +ere not 7ut printed out of a @"
printer and +a canned from a *enuine piece> .ou don:t kno+$ #n e2pert can not tell$
#ll you can tet for i the ilver content/ the ne+ly @" printed ilver thin* can be
identical to the *enuine piece in every +ay includin* the hallmark$ Thi +ould of coure
be ille*al to ell a piece claimin* to an anti8ue ilver/ but - do not think it i ille*al to @"
print one yourelf of a ilver piece you already o+n and canned in$ But the more thi i
done a @" printer become more +idepread ometime mi2 up can happen becaue
there really i no +ay to tell a *enuine piece that hould be in a mueum and a recently
@" printed ilver artifact or omethin*$ There are +ay of datin* them like carbon datin*
and uchlike but it unlikely that omeone +ould *o to uch effort$
-n my vie+ bearin* all thi in mind about @" printer - no+ think *ram of ilver are all
+orth the ame +hen they are melted do+n to be ued in indutry or medical ue or
omethin*$ So +hy pay a premium for omethin* made out of ilver +hen you could *et
more *ram of ilver for the ame unit of currency in a different form$ But - am alo
intereted in maller the better form of ilver$ For intance if you are only intereted in
*ettin* the mot *ram of ilver per unit of fiat currency then your bet bet i the bi*
1''' troy ounce bar they are over @1OG$ Thi +ork out very cheap per *ram of ilver
if you can afford it$ But the diadvanta*e i you can not ell part of it at a time or ue part
of it to buy omethin* +hen the preent temporary currency ytem fail$
Thi i +hy - like one ounce round or bar/ or if it +ork out cheaper per *ram of ilver
maybe ome li*htly bi**er bar/ - like the 1'' *ram bar they ometime can be bou*ht
for around the ame price a three 1 ounce round +hich only +ork out to be around D@
*ram$ So 1''*ram bar for the ame price +ould be better value than @2 1o< coin$
#*ain - am only intereted in the mot amount of *ram of ilver for the lo+et price in
currency/ at the ame time in mall form of phyical ilver a poible$

that ilver i very li*htly ma*netic$ 5ot enou*h for a normal ma*net to affect it/ but a
very po+erful rare Earth ma*net +ill have a li*ht pull on pure ilver$ There i a +ealth of

thi time - +a more determined than ever not *et haken out of my poition that: +hat

- +a no+ under+ater by a lon* +ay but becaue of e2perience +a not in the leat bit

- have previouly +ritten dicuin* the parallel bet+een *ame like che and poker

- like to tudy +ith my on ome facinatin* che *ame by Falery Salov and other
*rand mater to ee +hat +e can learn/ but poker i probably a little cloer to tradin*/
a it involve thin* like incomplete information/ bet i<in* and Ureadin* opponentK/
none of +hich play a role in che$ 3y opponent in thi cae are thoe manipulatin* the
price in temporary currency of real money *old and ilver$
So it 7ut like playin* poker/ your opponent trie a very riky manoeuvre +hen he ha a
+eek hand and i out of option beyond foldin*/ but he *oe all in +ith all hi fund to try
and care out everyone ele becaue there i uch a lot to rik$ Well the manipulator try
*oin* all in +ith thee bi* mackdo+n to try to care u invetor a+ay$ They are not
carin* me a+ay/ - kno+ they are bluffin* knockin* it that lo+ by floodin* the market +ith
paper promie of bullion$
But the harh reality i thi i a very dan*erou poker *ame for the United State to take
part in becaue the deck i tacked a*aint the US$ ?o+ doe it end> !hina and Gapan
imply default on any outtandin* paper contract$ Whoever hold the bullion make the
rule$ They can keep the bullion and ay orry but +e do not reco*nie thoe paper
promie and default on thoe paper promie$ The an+er a to +hen they mi*ht do
that i +hen there are no i*nificant e2itin* holdin* to be ac8uired$ We appear to be
*ettin* very cloe to that moment +ith the dramatic reduction of above *round upplie
throu*hout the Wetern central bank vault$
# oon a the loan +a approved - *ot on a +aitin* lit to buy phyical ilver bullion/ in
thi cae tube of 2'1@ ilver Ea*le and 3aple leaf$ The +aitin* lit +a lon* but -
fi2ed the price and *ot in line +hile the paper price +a +ell under Y11o</ the bet -
could *et +a Y1Ao< includin* delivery for phyical you can never buy real bullion for the
paper price$ -n the UO you have to buy from Etonia no+ to *et it F#T free but the
+indo+ i cloin*$ Thi i perfectly le*al but it only applie to le*al tender ilver coin like
Ea*le or 3aple not bullion bar or other non le*al tender coin$
Thi doe ound dan*erou buyin* +ith borro+ed fund that had interet and char*e
due$ But if you read the bonu chapter later on undertandin* debt creation you can
undertand my thinkin*$ -f the entire ytem come to an end all unecured debt may
be +ahed a+ay any+ay$ 4ne +ay or another - could default 7ut a mot loan in the
+orld +ill be defaulted on in the end and once you undertand the truth about +hat i
money and currency and ho+ currency no+ come into e2itence/ you +ill ee that if
you default it i 7ut the ame a not creatin* the unit of currency in the firt place$ But
you need to read the bonu chapter later on about debt creation to undertand the truth
about ho+ currency i created$
#lo my plan +a al+ay to ell out of my di*ital tradin* poition +hich +a never *oin*
to be held lon* term/ a the ytem come to an end$ So buyin* a lot of ilver bullion and
a little di*ital *old +ith borro+ed fund i not o dan*erou$ - till had my 1k* of di*ital
*old that admittedly +a no+ valued le than +hat - bou*ht it but at leat it +a bou*ht
not +ith borro+ed fund that - could ell +hen or if it bounced up to pay off the loan$
- realie that there +ill come a time +hen there +ill be a diver*ence bet+een bullion held
privately taken off the market and #5. other option includin* di*ital or paper promie$ -
can ee the end *ame +ill be the official pot or paper price +ill keep *oin* do+n a
everyone ell promie of bullion to try and *et on +aitin* lit for real bullion$ The
paper price could *o very lo+ and the free market +ill then +ork out the price of real
phyical bullion$ But thi +ill be the end *ame and in thi cae - +ill not be +orried about
defaultin* on my loan$ -f it not yet the end *ame they can keep the con *ame *oin* a
little lon*er and the paper price *oe back up then - can ell a much of my di*ital bullion
a needed to pay off the loan$
So in the bi* takedo+n in 2'1@ - bou*ht a lot more phyical ilver bullion and a little
more di*ital *old +ith borro+ed fund and +a not in the leat bit +orried$ 3y +ife
undertandably +a +orried/ but - reaured her$ L"on:t +orry if it *oe do+n any more -
+ill borro+ more and buy even more real phyical ilver bullion at the ne+ lo+er price$L
That i ho+ confident - am of the fact preented in thi book$ That i the +ay to play
their *ame$ That i the only +ay to play their *ame$ !all their bluff$ Gut like poker a
+eak player +ill *et cared and fold$ - am not a +eak player and do not care eaily$
Thankfully they +ere not able to puh it any lo+er at that time/ becaue everyone and
hi do* +a on +aitin* lit to buy at thee lo+ price but if they did - +ould have
borro+ed even more and kept buyin* +hile it +a do+n there$ They +ant to +ear you
out or care you out$ - love playin* ,oker a +ell a che my t+o favourite *ame$ - feel
you can learn many leon about life$ 3y bet friend 0+ho +a my bet man at my
+eddin*1 and - often arran*ed poker ni*ht havin* friend *et to*ether for year and

a lo EFER/ that +ould be foldin* +hen you kno+ you have a *ood hand$ .ou have to
be tron* and not loe your nerve +hen you kno+ you have a very tron* hand$ - +ill
7ut borro+ more fund and keep buyin* under my third ta*e buy order that - +a no+
under+ater on +hile it tay do+n there$ Becaue - kno+ they are bluffin*$ -t i a very
dan*erou *ame they are playin*$ The more they puh the price do+n the cloer the
end +ill come to their temporary international monetary ytem$
9# very important thin* to remember i that bullionvault i different to the +orld pot price
of *old$ - noticed +hen the cra<y mackdo+n +a in full flo+ in #pril 2'1@ the
bullionvault price +a +ildly fluctuatin* a people panicked and the +eak hand *ot
fluhed out at the bottom$ Some ne+ trader had not yet learnt to control their emotion
fear and *reed$ - even bou*ht ome di*ital *old at around Y2)O per Oilo$ There +an:t
much there only around 1''*ram at that price/ but it +a cra<y time bi* +in* in
price *oin* on/ thi +a +ay under the pot price even at the bottom of the dip +hich
+a around Y2AO per kilo$ Sometime there +a no bullion available to buy/ 7ut a line in
the bo2$ - had never ever een that before on bullionvault$ But there +a a lot of
currency +aitin* to buy if anyone +anted to ell at thee lo+ price$ The market +a
*oin* cra<y that day a people panicked +hich +a 7ut +hat the manipulator +anted$ -t
+a an incredible day to be a trader +ho had fund available and +ho had a tron*
nerve never een anythin* like in all my year tradin*$ Fery e2citin* if you are +ell
educated about *old and currency$ The +ay - look at it i *old and ilver are not volatile
in themelve they remain contant for thouand of year$ -t: the dyin* unit of fiat
currency that are e2periencin* volatility a the temporary international ytem that
pa+ned them come to an end$ So ne2t time the *old price tart to *o cra<y be ready
for it/ there +ill be opportunitie becaue of other trader loin* their nerve/ do not be
one of them/ keep ome available po+der dry and keep pullin* the tri**er$ !all the
manipulator bluff$ 9
-f you keep buyin* a little more every time they puh it even lo+er then you are
*uaranteed to buy a little at the bottom$ Gut think about that tatement for a moment$
Even thou*h - +a already all in at a hi*her price/ but that did not bother me once you
have e2perience$
The manipulator have run out of option$ #ll they can do i knock the price do+n and
hope to +ear or care invetor out of the market$ But invetor are *ettin* marter and
they are callin* the bluff 7ut buy more real ilver and more di*ital *old at uppreed

#nother little tip i +hen you are ettin* your firt ta*e buy and ell order you +ant to
be 7ut a little better than the ne2t in line$ Sometime - am fi*htin* +ith a Bot/ you can
al+ay tell if it a bot or a human you are fi*htin* +ith$ - have conidered uin* bot
myelf becaue - am a very buy family man$ But +ith a mart phone +ith you at all
time you can al+ay do it yourelf better than a bot$
Bot ho+ no emotion and they are relentle 2);($ But they are not a mart a a
human$ For e2ample ay the ay bet buy price in 5e+ .ork i Y2A@1'$ Thi mean for
omeone +ho ha *old in 5. they +ant to ell then the bet offer they could *et i
Y2A@1'$ - +ill et my buy order in at Y2A@11 for ay a 1''*ram$ -f it a bot - am up
a*aint they often put another buy order in at Y2A@12/ - *o Y1 hi*her and they do and o
on$ Bot never *et tired and you can never fri*hten them off$ But if it not very buy they
nearly al+ay round off to the nearet Y1'$ So - al+ay et my buy order endin* +ith a
:1: like+ie - al+ay et my ell order endin* +ith a :D:$ -f the bot are ellin* for Y2AB1'
then - put my firt ta*e ell order in at Y2AB'D to offer 1''*ram for ale$ Thi +ay you
can et your order to *et hit before the bot$
-f you kno+ +here *old and ilver price are today and you kno+ in year to come they
are *oin* to be a lot/ lot hi*her/ and you alo kno+ the manipulator are tryin* to mah

preent a the *lobal financial crii +oren$
Some trader et top loe o a bi* price take do+n +ill thro+ them out of the market$
Thi may be the +ay to play it +ith paper tock like #pple on the tock market and other
paper invetment but certainly not +ith monetary preciou metal$ The oppoite i the
+ay to play it +ith monetary ,3:$ Stop loe are to protect a*aint the tock *oin* to
nothin*/ +hich all paper tock *o to 1''E *uaranteed eventually/ thi 7ut can not

time to buy not ell$ -f itK a bi* price take do+n you need to crape to*ether every penny
to buy a much monetary ,3: a you can before they bounce back up$
Bounce back up they +ill$ Every year commentator on TF and the -nternet have been

Thi battle i +hat the phrae Umana*ed retreatK i all about/ and it i indeed a retreat$

ho+ the public that it a dead invetment$ Thi i *reat ne+ for trader +ho buy at the
bottom of the ran*e and ell at the top/ but a thi ha happened for the lat 12 year
the trend ha been up$ -f they mah it lo+er then you can buy more for le/ +hich
+ould be a pectacular o+n *oal/ becaue they are runnin* out of phyical bullion but
have endle paper promie$ if they raie the price hi*her all the heeple +ill flock in$
They have painted themelve into a corner and there i no +ay out$ The free market
al+ay +in over manipulated market in the end$
-f they let the price *o up too much it +ill encoura*e more buyin* and thi +ill puh the
price up even more and there i not enou*h phyical bullion to meet demand$ Thi i
+hy bullion i different from other invetment$ Becaue *old and epecially ilver are
*iffen *ood$ # Giffen *ood i one +hich people parado2ically conume more of a the
price rie/ violatin* the la+ of upply and demand$ Thi mean a the price *oe up
more people buy it more and more and demand *oe up$ Uually +hen thi happen like
for e2ample the Tulip mania in ?olland the upply then *oe up to meet demand then
the price come crahin* do+n a the market i flooded +ith upply becaue the price
+a hi*h$ But thi can not happen +ith ilver becaue tockpile of available ilver are
nearly all depleted$ They can not 7ut decide to mine more ilver +hen the price *oe up$
-t take year to find ne+ ilver depoit and then brin* a mine to production$ #t the

throu*h it up and do+n :. I propose a competing currency to *it(oin simply
called !ilver)ram. It sounds like moneygram and as we know the words
silver and money are interchangeable in many languages.
It is e'actly what it says it is. % divisible gram of silver. The symbol could
be similar to the dollar symbol + but with two lines going up and down
through the ! ,ust like the bitcoin symbol.
The present dollar symbol with one line going through it comes from silver
anyway, from the days of the silver certificate, but the -! + dollar is no
longer backed by silver. In &#!(#W .. /ussia unveiled ,ust as I type this
in the last weeks of 0123 a sign that will be used to represent the ruble
alongside other ma,or world currencies. The new symbol, which resembles
the Latin letter 4"4 with a hori5ontal score through it, will be used by the
(entral *ank and appear on /ussias coins and banknotes, financial officials
told reporters. !ome say the " was chosen to stand for "utin6 Why not /
for /uble7 The word for the /ussian /uble means silver bar, from the verb
/ubit. to cut up so the silver is divisible.
This got me thinking and how I came up with the silvergram idea and
symbol. The silvergram currency would also be money by true definition,
unlike bitcoin which is not money but ,ust currency. The silvergram
competing monetary system could compete with everything else out there
and be valued at the historical norm about a tenth of an ounce or about 3
silvergrams an average 20hr days wage. !o hourly rates would be measured
in milligrams depending on the work and how skilled or whatever. The
freemarket would find correct values for everything on its own. It could
work e'actly the same as bitcoin but also be backed by real grams of silver.
8or smaller transactions even 1.2 milligrams increments could be used
digitally 9transferring ownership of serial numbers of 1.2 miligrams or
1.12grams of real silver) or real grams of silver could be e'changed in any
form by hand to hand ,ust as has been done for thousands of years. *ut now
it could also be digital for ease of use. %ll that matters is its backed by :::
fine silver.
&y !ilver)ram competing currency idea could work e'actly the same as
*it(oin with the addition it is backed by real money . !ilver.
There could be official depositories around the world and e'pand in numbers
as the idea takes off. Each depository would charge a small amount to cover
costs for each transaction 9,ust like bitcoin does) and have bo'es 2;g . 21
;) full of silver in any form but each bo' with serial numbers. The
computer would be able to digitally change ownership of a percentage of the
grams of silver in each bo', right down to 1.1112< in any form coins or bars
of any si5e or shape, all that matters is grams of ::: silver. It would even be
possible to pay 1.12 of a digital miligram of silver for small transactions. #r
it would be possible to 2;) transact silver digitally for very large
transactions. =ou would have the option of taking possession of your real
silvergrams at anytime.
=ou could have the 4future digital4 portion of the currency be digitally
mined the same way as bitcoin. Then estimate a realistic number of grams of
mineable silver. (urrently estimated to be 2> years worth left. Then setup
the algorithm to end there. "eople could purchase futures contracts for
mined coins so as they were mined there would be someone in line to fill in
the real silver. %fter natural silver deposits have been mostly depleted urban
mining from landfill could provide silver to fill the future contracts of digital
miners.
/eal silver grams could also change hands as well as digital grams. The free
market would find values of everything and this !ilver)ram could compete
with everything else out there, it could start off at the present price of silver
L#L which would soon end the manipulation and the free market would
ensure silver would correct back to fair value. !ome have said *it(oin was
gold 0.1, which is rubbish because bitcoin is unbacked but my !ilver)ram
idea really could be. )old is not as useful as silver is, so this silvergram
competing currency really would be gold 0.1 international monetary system
and let the free market decide. Who would choose unbacked currency over
backed by monetary precious metal7
It would be possible to protect your privacy by instead of digitally
transacting withdraw the silvergrams and physically hand them to the
individual you are doing the means of e'change with ,ust like dealing in
cash if its not long distance and you could arrange to meet up. &onetary
"&s are a very private way only you know how and when and how much
you are saving or spending, if you want the privacy. %t a time when almost
every purchase made or asset saved indeed almost every transaction made is
then available to corporations and governments, using physical grams in
coins or bars of monetary "&s privately between parties as an alternative to
currency becomes increasingly attractive. The idea that *itcoin and other
digital currencies are anonymous is wrong, but one that a lot of people get
caught up in. Its like cash that comes with a register of all previous owners.
$ot names but computer code that tracks every moment forever. That code
can then e'pose individuals and all their associates. &onetary "&s
physically in coins or bars not digitally changing hands are the only 211<
private way to transact.
(riti?ues of my silvergram competing currency have said creating such a
digital silvergram currency could mean centrali5ing the silver. !ome
authority@authorities would need to actually have all the silver backing under
their supervision. This makes the backing centrali5ed and vulnerable to
corruption or confiscation.
% truly decentrali5ed silver backed digital currency would mean each person
possesses both the silver they own digitally 9understanding a little risk but
convenience) and some held physically with less risk but also less
convenience. (hris Auane always says, 4If you dont hold it, you dont own
it4. !o most silvergrams should be held privately and only what you need for
everyday transactions be held digitally. % bit like fiat today keep some in
cash and some in the bank.
% private group membership gets around many !E( regulations and now
with internet and software 9bitcoin proves this) each person can be a bankerB
each person can e'change silver for the digital silver and vice versa.
(ompletely decentrali5ed without ,ust one big store of silver e'isting
anywhere. There would be many all around the world. If there were
problems with one there would be a run on all the silver in the others all
around the world.
%bout the value, well it would be wise to ,ust buy with fiat at the start and
not spend any while the price is so low. The word would get out about
silvers historical value tenth o5 or 3 !ilvergrams worth 20hr days wage. Its
laughable that people could change fiat for so many silvergrams to start with
until the manipulation ends, but until the manipulation ends people could
,ust buy into the silvergram currency with a mind to spend it later when fiat
and unbacked crypto becomes worthless.
The point of it is to compete with everything else out there and eventually let
competition in currencies and the free market work itself out and find fair
value for everything.
%bout the central authority I imagined it working ,ust like all the new
decentrali5ed cryptos that are springing into e'istence every few days. They
need miners to let their computers be used to run all the transactions and
they each charge a little for each transaction. The silvergram idea would
need a few key depositories around the world with the bo'es of silvergrams
that the computers could digitally change ownership of. It would be up to
each depository to set its own charges for storage and each transaction, if
one was more competitive than the others it would get more trade.
If there were doubts about any of them customers could withdraw the silver
and take possession. *ut then they would lose the digital aspect of the
currency. I would like the advice to be some in the depository for long
distance transactions ease of use and some held physically for safety and
hand to hand local transactions where there would be no charge for the
digital transaction.
$ew customers who wanted to buy some silvergrams could either provide
the silvergrams themselves or for a small charge the depository would go out
into the market and buy and store which most would do if they did not live
near a depository. *ut at anytime they could pay for delivery and take
physical possession of their silvergrams.
There could also be silver %T&s in high population areas that could take in
or payout your silvergrams or other currencies and credit your account. I
love competition in currencies and maybe the winners will see more %T&s
around the world. The %T& would need to be able to detect real silver and
weight it, etc. It would need to be pretty secure and hold like 21 ;ilos or
more of silvergrams each. There would obviously be e'penses and
companies would set charges for using them.
Each %T& would become its own repository, keeping it somewhat
decentrali5ed. The number of %T&s would grow along with the amount of
the silver currency that would be in the system.
If you want to cash out, you would go to any silver %T& and withdraw
physical silvergrams or e'change your silver digital currency for another
electronic currency if there is an open e'change system. The %T& is hooked
to the internet and deposits the credit into your digital account.
I imagined this would be seen as safer than unbacked crypto or fiat but still
have all the advantages. !ilvergram monetary systems would be easier to
understand than crypto or fiat.
This is the biggest hurdle to get over, its people understanding crypto. Will
little old ladies going to do their shopping understand units of crypto7 I think
the answer is no. I have tried e'plaining crypto to very intelligent adults but
they dont get it, and I have to honestly say well I dont undertstand it
completely myself even the people who made it do not completely
understand it or what may happen to it in the future. #r how to measure the
value of each unit of all the competing unbacked crypto currencies being
added to the supply every year.
*ut when it comes to little old ladies going shopping working out how many
grams of silver something costs, yes they will easily understand that because
there is something real its actually something there in their mind, even if its
a digital transaction. If all her shopping for the week comes to this many
silvergrams, 9either pay with physical or digital) and each item for e'ample
milk, eggs, bread costs this many milligrams of silver each, then nobody is
afraid of it they can easily grasp it because its something real they can
picture in their mind even if its a digital transaction like paying with a credit
card today.
I say its very hard for average people to get their head around crypto, how
much something is worth valued in units of crypto currency, how can you
get your head around that7 =ou cant, there is no historical measuring stick.
!ilver has several thousand years history being used as money and we know
the historical average is 3 silvergrams or a tenth of an ounce valued at an
average 20hr days wage.
The only reason little old ladies can understand fiat is because before 2:>2 it
was backed by monetary precious metals. &ost people do not understand
that in 2:>2 all currencies became unbacked by money.
There is no way little old ladies will understand unbacked crypto unless its
backed by something they can understand like grams of monetary precious
metal.
$ot ,ust little old ladies, the ma,ority of people on the street have lots of
misguided faith in fiat. &any still think it relates to gold. They do not know
the slight of hand trick in 2:>2 when all currencies were not backed by gold
anymore.
I never had faith in unbacked fiat or crypto, I think both will have the
supplies e'panded e'ponentially as more cryptos are created and therefore
devalued the ones already in the e'panding supply. There is no limit to how
many competing crypto currencies will be added to the supply. The newer
ones will be better than the last ones, there will always be a newer one added
to the e'panding supply, bitcoin is looking old now. There is a race to design
and be the one to bring about the ne't monetary system that will replace the
long dead but not yet gone temporary syetm from >2. If you cant beat em,
,oin em, copy em, and then beat em. While everyones attention has been
glued to *itcoin 9and its various smaller and less viable for now alternative
digital currencies), C"&organ has submitted a patent which appears to set
the scene for a competing centrali5ed network to *itcoin. %s
LetsTalk*itcoin noted first, the 4&ethod and system for processing internet
payments using the electronic funds transfer network,4 states that (hases
technology is a 4new paradigm.4 &oreover that it permits the creation of
4virtual cash4 9also referred to as 4web cash4) with a 4real.time digital
e'change of value.4
In the great depression in the 2:31s there were also lots 9over 3111) of
competing unbacked currencies sprang up and thats e'actly whats
happening today. They all went to their intrinsic value of nothing ,ust like all
crypto currencies will.
Today though all they have to do is shut down the internet to kill all crypto
and some say even if they shut down the internet to kill crypto others could
launch their own satellites. =eah right. If you believe that then there is a
bridge I would like to sell you.
!ome say it doesnt matter which crypto to buy ,ust get in. Ao they not know
any teenager with a "( can make a bitcoin competitor in 3 days7 Why
would you have confidence in unbacked crypto when you do not know
where it came from7
I say buy real, stay real and stay away from virtual unless for short term
speculation like me. *ut understand the risks with unbacked currency. If it
was backed by something it would stand out head and shoulders above the
rest, backed by anything ,ust as long as its backed by something with value
which means it cant go to nothing. "earls are renewable so not as good,
diamonds can be made artificially so are also plentiful. )old and silver are
finite but so are lots of other things that could be used to back one of these
crypto currencies that would make it more valuable than one from thin air
made in a few days by a teenager on his "(.
%ll it takes is one wipe out scare and *itcoin and all unbacked crpto is in
free.fall. %nything stored on the internet in servers can be hunted down and
eradicated or corrupted. Dow are you going to prove how many bitcoins you
had when they vanish in to thin air where they came from7 %nd who are you
going to prove it to7 If real silver is stored in a bo' and is redeemable for
every silvergram transaction the system could not vanish into thin air like
*itcoin could where it came from.
8or the record I do think the Internet can go down. !ome will say this could
4never happen4 that is ,ust not true, it could happen either by accident or on
purpose and that would be the end of botcoin completely. %t the very least,
they could firewall off ma,or parts of the Internet backbone to make it
difficult@illegal for people to communicate outside of their region. %lso since
most people get their internet from a handful of I!"s they could somewhat
easily mess with central A$! to only allow certain things to function.
There is another big difference between physical silver and unbacked digital
currency. If either became illegal to use in the case of silver bullion the value
would go up and the free market would find the value as its traded in the
black market untraceable silvergram coins and bars physically changing
hands in private in underground car parks or stations with no paper or digital
trail. If bitcoins were made illegal everyone would have to comply because
there is no way to transact privately with no trail. It would cease to e'ist and
go back to its intrinsic value of nothing where it came from.
!o when people ask me what I think of *it(oin I say it feels like a trail run
for something /E%L that comes after it. *it(oin is not real it is virtual or
imaginary, a con game if you will ,ust like fiat since >2 it is only based on
confidence. The fact that so many do have confidence in *it(oin shows
there is a need and desire for something else now that the fiat con game is
drawing to a close. This trail run is a good idea to iron out all the bugs and
get the infrastructure in place for what comes ne't . % real sound monetary
system that can work e'actly the same as *it(oin using the very same
infrastructure but also be backed by real tangible money that could be used
alongside. Then you would not have the problem of what happens when the
supply can no longer be e'panded. *ut now its great to get as many people
accepting and spending *it(oin as possible so what comes after can use the
already in place systems and more people will be used to digital e'changes
along side e'changing real silver grams.
!o for now, while Im stocking up on stacks of silver and copper, Im also
getting my hands on some *itcoin and well see if I can make the )/E%T
!DI8T from *it(oin to "hysical !ilver fast enough before the entire *it(oin
-niverse races to do the same thing. The 4*it(oin.to.!ilver /ace4 will be an
event like no other6 I do not want to hold much bitcoin because I know it
could go to nothing overnight while the servers are down and everyone
wants to sell but cant. !o it is a risk unlike holding real silver, but I think it
could be years away yet, before the end of bitcoin we will see the end of the
temporary international monetary system that was started in 2:>2.
*itcoin is now as I type hovering around +2111 at the end of 0123 and its
hard to see any reason it will stop there. Im sure there will be big dips down
again which is when I plan to do my buying and sell the peaks back up. I
recently commented to some friends that 4*uying *itcoin now feels a lot
like when I was buying !ilver at +: back in 011E@:. I knew it was the right
thing to do then. The same goes for *itcoin now.4 I only wish I bought more
bitcoin when it was under +F1 only a few short months ago when I bought
0.F*T( for under +2G1. I will sell on every peak and try to buy back on the
dips all the way up to +2&illion each *T(. *ut I think everything even
loaves of bread will go to +2million as the temporary system ends.
=es, there will be ma,or setbacks on *itcoins rise to the heavens 9+2&@coin
or moreB) for e'ample in Aec 0123 (hina made some noises about banning
crypto transaction and all cryptos took a nose dive that day. I sold
everything when I saw the dip start and I bought back at much cheaper
prices later, but each and every one of these problems will be overcome and
*itcoin will move forward stronger, until the end of bitcoin which I think
will be after the temporary system from >2 ends. #ne of the only things that
can stop *itcoin now is a similar system backed by gold or silver...Dmmm.
Its ,ust a ?uestion of when76
-ntil then *itcoin will continue to rise and people will continue to tell me
that Im nuts. &ore *itcoin.to.!ilver sales to come in the years to follow as
*itcoin surpasses +21,111 per coin on its way to +2& per coin when the
banks collapse6
I can see the /E%LIT= that what we use as 4money4 is changing rapidly. It
is my belief that this rapid change will be e'tremely beneficial to the price of
silver going forward as all these 4*itcoin ;nowledgeable4 people also know
the necessity of owning physical silver. They will become *itcoin
billionaires and those billions will flow freely into physical silver by the
truck load as another hedge against the insanity of the current temporary
international monetary system from >2.
#h, and in the spirit of this *it(oin endorsement, I am now officially
accepting *it(oin as payment for a 2 year "rivate !ubscription to my
newsletter, over my shoulder trading service and information sharing group.
I have set the price at 1.12 *T( 9211th of a *it(oin) which is currently a
bargain. -ntil the *it(oin goes to nothing anyway which will happen
sometime in the future. =ou will also receive the updated completed version
of this book with all the bonus e'tra chapters. =ou can either pay by bitcoin
or provide a value information newsletter or service that we do not already
have to share with the group, then you will get to see everything in the info
sharing group. Email me for details, if I am right and bitcoin goes up a long
way in years to come 9before it goes to nothing) the price for my services
will go down measured in bitcoins. "lease email for current details.
.
I have a personal e'perience the other day which I would like to relate. #ne
of my English students came to visit London for the first time with his wife.
De is a Capanese businessman and I was the one who actually introduced
him to *it(oins before that he had never heard of them. De now sells things
for *it(oins in his international business he accepts *it(oins and is trying to
get his suppliers to accept payment in *it(oins, which is e'actly how this
system spreads. "eople using the system have incentive to get people they
are dealing with to accept and pay with *it(oins.
%nyway, we were in (ovent )arden as my wife and I were showing them
around London. We were looking for somewhere good to eat he said he will
treat us. I knew of one place accepting *it(oins as payment. I showed it to
him and sure enough the little blue sign with the gold * symbol in the
window along with Hisa and &astercard etc.
De was very pleased there would be no e'tra charges for currency e'change
with using his Capanese credit card and he said this was the first time he ever
paid for a meal with *it(oins usually he had to convert to fiat currency first.
%fter the meal the waitress brought the machine over ,ust as if paying with
credit card. De put his password in and then agreed to pay the bill
1.11112.....or something *itcoins and she gave the receipt.
It really does make you think about things differently. We were then talking
about in the future could you earn your wages in *it(oins and only spend
them in places that accept *it(oins, then you could live separately from fiat
currencies like the dollar, pound, euro or yen. The ?uestion then comes up
about ta'. What if a business accepted *it(oins as payment for
goods@services then paid much of its outgoings with *it(oins. Dow would
the accountant work out how much ta' to pay the government in units of fiat
currency7 =ou can see why the current banking system and governments do
not like *it(oin or any other competing monetary systems.
There is a lot of fear to go around regarding *itcoin right now. It has the
potential to topple governments by making ta'ation difficult and money
printing useless. It has the potential for the free trade of illicit goods. It is a
massive money laundering tool. There are a lot of people who want this
thing to die and go away because it threatens the system.
!o this is the other thing to bear in mind is how threatened the -!% and
other governments are by *it(oin, the last resort they have is to let the
internet be unreliable or even go off all together. Thats it the end of *it(oin
absolutely. The very first time the internet becomes unreliable when it ne't
comes back on there will be a rush to sell *it(oin while its still possible, and
where will all these units of currency flow into7 )old and !ilver and real
tangible things.
!ilver stands on its own two feet as a means of e'change and value, bitcons
dont. =ou really are having a laugh if you think a third world farmer will
take bitcons for their crop following a ma,or currency crisis@debasement.
They wouldnt take them now. *ut they will take silver now and in the
future. 8armers from every part of the world have accepted silver for
thousands of years.
*ut ,ust how easy it is to transfer currency in the developed world does give
*it(oin innate value for the time beign. The fact that there will only ever be
02 million *it(oins ever and most of them have not yet been mined yet.
%lso many have been lost by people forgetting their passwords and more
could be lost like this in the future but less likely now the price of each is so
high. *ut 02& is an odd number for a virtual coin. %nd it is broken into
such small units 9.11111112 *T( I 2 satoshi). I think *itcoin is already the
worlds highest.valued currency unit. The 0nd highest is the ;uwaiti dinar,
which is worth +3.F2. *ut every other currency unit is e'panding in supply,
we are led to believe that *it(oin can not be e'panded in supply. Whether to
believe that is up to each individual, but say the makers created a very clever
way to make more units into their account7
*itcoin was first introduced to the world by the pseudonymous !atoshi
$akamoto, a persona that communicated by email and in the official *itcoin
forum before abruptly disappearing. $o one has ever met him, or at least no
one who will admit to it. $o one knows if $akamoto is male or female. Dis
9or her) early emails even refer to a 4we.4
!o this !atoshi $akamoto was said to be the entity who invented *it(oin,
but similar to how !hakespeares works are thought to be more than one
person it is thought that a group of people in Capan working together created
*it(oin. %lan )reenspan has ,ust come out with completely )reenspan.
es?ue comments on *itcoin playing his role as the *ad (op. 9There are
some that believe )reenspan worked with the Capanese !atoshi who wrote
the computer code that created *itcoin66) It does make a bit of sense because
*itcoin is designed to mimic gold in some ways. I have no idea but
)reenspan was involved with the original /oot.% computer programs
designed to manipulate gold and silver markets since the late 2:J1s. %nyone
can 4mine4 for new *itcoins by running the *itcoin client. The process is
designed to get more difficult as more people start mining. &any years and
+211s of *illions later, *itcoinKs mysterious creator remains anonymous.
We still dont know who invented *itcoin, or why. 8rom my contacts I hear
it was created by the Capanese but who or why is a mystery. Why anyone
would put their trust in something so mysterious over !ilver which has
thousands of years of history as money is an even larger mystery. *ut thats
what makes life so interesting.
*-T . $o one knows who really created *T( 9if anyone replies to this
saying otherwise, theyre wrong and guessing using whatever 4facts4 are out
there. -nfortunately, at the time of writing there is no official confirmation
of who or what created *T(). This is a big red flag, as while the intention
may be good, who knows what potential blockers *T( may hit in the future.
&ining is set to get harder as time goes on, and who knows what this could
release into the *T( world... There could be some surprises, we ,ust dont
know.
It is up to each individual weather or not they trust this information and if
they trust that *it(oin is unhackable that someone can not ,ust create more
*it(oins out of thin air. "ersonally I do not trust *it(oin I think there are
many probable situations looming over the horison where it could ?uite
easily go to nothing or at least be worth.less, but this can never happen with
real silver you take off the market, which can not go to nothing.
*ut what I can say is that in my e'perience I find people enthusiastic to learn
about *it(oin and talk about it. %s I often say it makes people stop and ask
the right ?uestions like well what is money and what is currency7
It is an ama5ing concept for the first time when this monetary cycle repeats
that there is now an alternative intermediary albeit still unbacked competing
currency . *it(oin. Importantly though it is the same e'act monetary cycle
that repeated since ancient Egypt going from money over to currency and
e'panding the supply as much as possible until money 9)old and !ilver)
revalue to catch up with the currency supply which goes to nothing. *it(oin
is ,ust the end part of the cycle of currency supplies e'panding
e'ponentially. Cust think when !atoshi $akamoto or whoever it was who
created *it(oin released it.They ,ust e'panded the currency supply of the
world by 02 million *it(oins. #r 02 million units of the e'panding currency
supply. $othing compared to the +EF *illion units of the numbers supply the
%mericans are e'panding the numbers supply every month.
Dow you measure those 02 million bitcoin units against other unbacked
virtual units like the -.! dollar + is hard to get your head round. They are
both ,ust part of the numbers supply that is e'panding, how many numbers
are there7 Infinite6 Dow large the numbers supply is before it collapses will
determine the purchasing power of gold and silver when the cycle repeats.
8or now I love trading both bitcoin and digital gold for short term
speculation. If you time it right and keep your finger on the pulse .=ou
couldve made about +G11 off each *itcoin you own within a 0.3 hour span.
This opportunity happens fre?uently and will continue to happen. *ut its not
as high fre?uency as gold trading. *itcoin transactions can take from 21mins
9unlikely) to hours in my case or some have said days.
*efore you buy an ad that are %LL over market values, some are almost
double the market value with payout methods with 5ero risk, "ost an ad
=#- %/E (#&8#/T%*LE *-=I$) %T, If you are new and wanted to
buy with paypal, its ok to go over some, 9palpal fees need adding on) but
+2,311 W- trades when )o' ,ust dropped below +>11.11 is flat out abuse. I
feel bad when an old ad I was selling bitcoins for a lot more than the price
now and some newbie wants to buy at that higher price. If you have any
?uestions or need something please ask Ill be happy to guide you the best I
can, *ecause I overpaid for a good two months before I understand how
cra5y it was.
=ou can easily work out the cheapest places to buy bitcoins and then
advertise them for sale at a profit, ,ust buy the dips and sell the peaks. !ince
I have been trading there have been some huge swings bitcoin halved in
price then doubles in short spaces of time. This will continue in the future
with some even larger swings with an upwards trend until it goes to nothing
which I think will be after the dollar and all unbacked fiat currencies go to
nothing.
*uy the dips sell the peaks. Thats the sort of mechanic that populates most
of $=!E type trading. %nd it is ok if you know e'actly what youre getting
yourself into. Investment banking used to be good for the economy investing
in productive businesses that prospered because of the increased investment.
$ow greed and fear buy the dips sell the peaks on computers of anything
and everything and manipulate in your favor mentality. What good does this
do for the world7 $othing, it ,ust adds to the perefect ecconomic storm
approaching, these speculators e'panding the numbers supply with low
interest rates and huge risks. If they lose the derivatives bubble absorbs the
losses. This is the world we live in, if you cant beat em ,oin em. =ou ,ust
have play he best you can with he cards you are delt. *T( at this point is
very unstable. =ou can win big or lose big. I saw the (hinese ban on the
banks to use *T(, and I knew immediately the price will plummet. I sold
everything I had in my bitcoin wallets. %nd surely enough it did. *ig time. %
little later I was a buyer and there were some bargains about. !o what people
need to understand is that *T( while possibly can develop into a viable
alternative, it is as dependent on banks and governments like any fiat
currency. &aybe even more. 8or *T( to stabili5e, it needs to loose the
overpricing. %nd once it does that,I wonder how many of the fans will prove
to be real adopters of btc and stick with it, and how many were ,ust like me
and the large investment banks looking for a ?uick cash day. I do not believe
in unbacked crypto currency is a long term store of value which is a
re?uirement to be money.
.
*itcoin is a risk, it will not succeed long term, I think everyone with half an
ounce of sense who is involved in it understands this. *ut I still think it will
last longer than the temporary system started in 2:>2.
*ut *itcoin isnt simply a Aigital (urrency, when it was created the
inventor9s) solved some ma,or problems that had been plaguing the
implementation of Aigital currencies.
%s *itcoin continues its move towards the mainstream and *itcoin
businesses e'perience rocky relations with bankers and regulators, now is a
good time to look at previous leaders in the digital currency world.
In the late :1Ks and early 0111Ks, e.gold was the industry leader. %s one of
the worldKs first successful online payment systems e.gold was a pioneer
using many now standard practices such as !!L connections and %"IKs.
*rought down by a run in with regulators in 011E the e.gold story is
re?uired reading for anyone involved in the digital currency world.
There was a wave of online crime that engulfed e.gold and led to a steady
stream of complaints to government authorities by defrauded account
holders, who often did not understand the difference between e.gold and the
fraudulent person or company that encouraged them to open an e.gold
account and wire money to fund it. *ut this was not the main reason e.gold
failed.
This is also happening to *it(oin being used for untraceable transactions, so
that is no reason for why the e.gold system was to fail, *it(oin is thriving
because of the privacy issues. Indeed this is what attracts many honest users
at a time when almost every purchase made or asset saved indeed almost
every transaction made with the temporary international system started in >2
is then available to corporations and governments, using a digital
international currency system privately outside the banking system between
parties as an alternative to the temporary system from >2 becomes
increasingly attractive.
In 0112 )oldmoney.com was founded by Cames Turk and became a
competitor to e.gold. Turk, who had filed patents on a digital gold payment
system in 2::3 but launched his system five years behind e.gold, eventually
managed to take over as the primary electronic gold digital currency.
Ten years later, e.gold would be out of business, shut down by the -!
government, but )oldmoney would be sitting on -!A 2 billion worth of
gold and millions of users, e'panding at an alarming rate.
While )old&oney succeeded in becoming the worldKs largest gold storage
digital currency system, and held four patents for a gold payment system,
they were never able to replicate e.goldKs success as a payment system,
because they were so fearful of replicating e.goldKs success as a magnet for
criminal activity. )oldmoney prohibited the development of independent
e'change agents, which greatly limited their global reach. In Canuary 0120
)oldmoney turned off the ability to make payments from one account to
another citing LinsignificantM demand for "0" metal transactions as not
,ustifying the high cost of regulatory compliance. It was e.goldKs usefulness
and ease for payments combined with their international network of
e'change agents that made it a magnet for crime. !o )old&oney does not
have these features and therfore can never be a serious competitor to the
temporary new international currency system that was started in 2:>2, not in
the same way that *it(oin is today.
E.)#LA TDE *L%(; !DEE"
e.gold was in many ways the philosophical predecessor of *itcoin. -nlike
"ay"al, which ran on top the -!% banking system and therefore posed no
competitive threat to the banking system, e.gold was a maverick outsider
with no allies in the banking establishment, whose founders self.consciously
viewed themselves as offering an alternative to the banking system. While
banks suffer from the same problems with criminal activity, phishing, pon5i
schemes and money laundering on a much larger scale, and some of the
biggest banks have even knowingly participated in money laundering with
apparent impunity, e.goldKs iconic status as a controversial alternative
currency system loved by cypherpunks and libertarians made it an attractive
target for -! law enforcement agencies, with a big pile of assets to sei5e and
few political allies. This is the biggest difference with *it(oin, there is no
one in charge to go after to close it down as there was with e.gold.
While e.gold had begun implementing much stronger controls against abuse
by users of the system by 011F, the Custice Aepartment had apparently made
a high level policy decision to blame e.gold themselves for the malignant
activities of a small minority of their users. In 011> the proprietors of the e.
gold service were indicted by the -nited !tates Aepartment of Custice on
four counts of violating money laundering regulations.
The government also claimed that e.gold was a pon5i scheme that did not
have the gold to back the accounts. Dowever, that claim was later shown to
be false when ,udge re,ected any charges of fraud regarding the e.gold user
agreement and confirmed the veracity of the companyKs gold reserve audit N
showing that e.gold was fully reserved.
(onclusions
e.gold was one of the first, if not the very first pioneer of Internet payments
systems outside the banking system. While e.gold received a lot of bad press
due to the criminal case against them, it is important to recogni5e e.goldKs
place in Internet history as the worldKs first successful online payment
system which pioneered many of the systems and techni?ues that e.
commerce users now take for granted, including making payments over an
!!L encrypted connection, and offering an %"I to enable other websites to
build services using e.goldKs transaction system.
e.gold presaged *itcoin as an alternative internet transaction system that
operated completely outside of and independent of the legacy banking
system. This proved that alternate financial systems were possible and that a
significant number of people would enthusiastically use such a system.
Though e.gold was ultimately shut down by the -! government, the federal
,udge on the case ruled that the founders of e.gold Lhad no intent to commit
illegal activity.M The difference is today with *it(oin there is no individual
person or body to go after as with e.gold, *it(oin has no operator which is
why its such a threat to the temporay international monetary system that was
started in 2:>2.
8ounder of e.gold Aouglas Cackson failed to foresee the ways in which
criminals and hackers could e'ploit an internet payment system by
manipulating the appearance of identity 9identity theft and fraud). Their
payment model failed to include a web of trust that would enable users to
have some degree of confidence of whom they were dealing with, and to
eliminate bad actors. In retrospect e.goldKs tardiness in addressing the
identity issues allowed the criminal syndicate to grow so large that the
resulting crime wave ruined the company. *ut these problems will be there
no matter what monetary system is used.
e.goldKs failure was ultimately due to the inability of their business model to
provide a system of reliable user identification and the failure to provide a
workable dispute resolution system to identify and cut off illegal and abusive
activity in their user community. #ther transaction systems such as
Webmoney.ru and )oldmoney.com learned from e.goldKs mistakes and were
able to successfully field similar systems with low rates of abuse by
addressing these deficiencies. While "ay"al has done a better ,ob of
addressing abuse than e.gold did, they now suffer from and battle against the
same crime wave that took down e.gold. 8inancial cryptographer, Ian )rigg,
has observed that *itcoin has repeated the same fundamental errors that e.
gold made and that despite its decentrali5ed nature the cyber crime.wave
may bring *itcoin to a similar ending.
I disagree with Ian )rigg on the grounds that it is not possible to have any
international monetary system that is free market and not possible for
criminals to use. It is not the problem of the monetary system it matters not
what system is used the problems of criminals misusing it are the same. 8iat
is actually worse in this regard.
!o thats e.gold and )old&oney. There have been others and there will be
more using gold. Its never been done on a large international scale with
silver before. Cames Turks )old&oney does have the option of silvergrams
along with gold but what I propose is a decentrali5ed system the same as
*it(oin but backed by silver.
%nyone could set up a depository anywhere in the world and be linked in to
the !ilver)ram system and charge a little 9Like 1.2< of the silvergram
transaction) for any transaction to cover costs. !till works out cheaper than
what retailers have to pay to accept credit cards. *ut the fact that
digitalgrams are redeemable for real grams at any time should deter the
digital supply e'panding more than the real supply. "eople could choose to
pay with real grams of silver for free or digital for a small charge which the
retailer would pay same as at the moment with credit cards.
This silvergram system I suggested or a tri.metalic system of the three
monetary metals gold, silver and copper could compete with everything else
out there and let the free market decide.
%s I write this at the end of 0123 the founder of this egold one of the earliest
virtual currencies has re.emerged with a rival to *itcoin, more than five
years after his first venture, egold, was shut down by the -! Aepartment of
Custice. To ?uote the 8T
4Aouglas Cackson is consulting for a membership organisation called
(oeptis that hopes to launch a new version of his gold.backed currency,
which attracted millions of users at its height.
The aim is to lure many of the people who have been attracted to *itcoin and
other virtual currencies this year, including businesses that are looking for a
cheap way to process payments outside the traditional banking system.
(oeptisKs Lglobal standard currencyM would be fully backed by reserves of
gold, held in a trust, in effect turning the precious metal into a medium of
e'change again.
&r Cackson and two others pleaded guilty in Culy 011E to running an illegal
money transmitting business and to aiding money laundering, after federal
investigators charged that Lcriminals of every stripe gravitated to e.gold as a
place to move their money with impunityM.
*ill (unningham, chief e'ecutive of (&#, the 8lorida company behind
(oeptis, said the technology behind e.gold has been updated and e'panded
to ensure it complies with the emerging regulations covering virtual
currencies. -nlike e.gold, it would verify membersK identities before
allowing them to trade.
LWe believe we will have better anti.money laundering procedures than any
other virtual currency business and that we will compare well with the
banking industry,M &r (unningham said.
L#ne of the advantages of seeing what happened to the e.gold system is we
understand where we fell down before.M
Increased trading in the decentralised virtual currency has begun to attract
the attention of regulators
(&# is planning to buy its currency system from &r Cackson, but because
of his conviction, he will not have an operational role in the company.
8or several years, &r Cackson had hoped to resurrect e.gold himself, but it
became clear he would not be able to obtain the money transmitter licences
re?uired in most -! states.
&r (unningham said (&# had begun approaching state regulators about
obtaining licences itself and hopes to launch before the middle of ne't year.
The membership organisationKs name comes from the phrase annuit coeptis,
meaning Lhe has favoured our undertakingsM, which appears on -!
banknotes.
The emergence of *itcoin has sparked a wave of e'perimentation in
currencies and in online payments. /egulators and monetary authorities have
so far been content to allow such currencies, but have pressured e'changes
and brokers to introduce the same money.laundering checks as traditional
financial institutions.
% European (entral *ank study last year concluded virtual currencies were
too small to worry about yet, but their growth should be monitored lest they
start to threaten financial stability.4
I would disagree with that last ?uote, the temporary international monetary
system brought in on 2Fth %ugust 2:>2 has caused financial stability when
all currencies became unbacked on that single day. )oing back to monetary
precious metals as money will ,ust be history repeating and the free market
always chooses monetary "&s over unbacked currency which has always
gone to nothing in the end.
It was only a matter of time before the success of *itcoin led to a new
attempt to create a digital currency backed by gold. It seems as if that day
has now arrived. While I fully think the ultimate monetary solution will be a
decentrali5ed payment protocol that merges *itcoin.like technology with the
ability to back it with gold, silver, copper or whatever people want, I am of
the view that it cannot be done from an overly centrali5ed authority or
protocol. There are several reasons for this.
8irst, when you have a centralised single issuer of a currency who also is
responsible for vaulting the gold or silver within the payment system you
have an enormous degree of counter.party risk. The vault itself could be
sei5ed by LauthoritiesM in whatever ,urisdiction it is located in. 8ar better to
have decentralised multiple vaulting systems anyone could set up and charge
what they like for storage and running transactions and let the free market
work. If they charge the least amount they will get most people storing their
metal with them, more than someone else who is charging more for storage
and transactions. If there were doubts about anything in the system people
could withdraw the grams of monetary metal and hold it themselves outside
the system.
!econd, the human beings or company behind any currency system can
themselves be pressured or threatened in order to comply with more
powerful interests. The beauty of *itcoin is that there is no L*itcoin
corporation.M It truly is decentrali5ed and anarchic in nature. It basically puts
Lthe powers that beM in a position that if they want to completely destroy it,
theyKd have to destroy the internet itself. If there is a head then if you cut off
the head it is dead. If it has no head it can not be killed so easily.
That said, I do believe the evolution of money is headed to a *itcoin type
system with the ability to have whatever backing is desired by the market.
!o at this point my ?uestions to &r. Cackson would beB
2) Dow decentrali5ed is this currency system intended to be if at all7
0) Will there be an open source protocol available to all7
3) %re the units of currency distributed to those that own gold in a particular
vault or vaults under a the custodianship of a particular company7
G) Is the currency limited to those who own gold in the currency issuer
vaults, or will they be linking vaults all over the world if such vaults care to
be linked.
While I love the idea, it would have to be done right or it will be doomed to
fail. IKm very curious to learn more about this and IKd also love to see a free
market decentralised open source monetary metal backed digital monetary
system.
*ut I long for an e.gold system that has very low storage and commission
9transaction) fees like *illionvault but unlike bullionvault it would be
possible to pay for things around the world like bitcoin.
*ullionvault has very low storage fees about O0 per month up for about 2;)
of gold which is plenty for day to day paying bills and have your earnings go
into your account.
Then they charge 1.F< going down to 1.1F< for large transactions
commission charges, so it works out less than credit cards charge these days.
The credit card companies must be getting worried with all these
competitors. *ut *H does not do e.commerce yet. I suspect there will be a
future system that will win the competition if its this new e.gold or
something else to come after it will ,ust be history repeating itself. #ne way
or another the same monetay cycle keeps repeating. (urrency supplies are
e'panding e'ponentially both fiat and crypto until confidence is lost in
currency and the free market chooses monetary precious metals as the
money of choice.
&any people have commented on the wild action at the end of 0123 in the
price of *itcoin as it rose to over +2,211 in (hina only to crash down in a
matter of moments to near +F11. Then back up to over +2011. Its all part of
the game. This is the only reason I am trading *it(oin, for the short term
speculation sell the peaks buy the dips. %lthough I recently said that *itcoin
was an un.manipulated alternative to the fiat monetary system I am
convinced now that *itcoin is manipulated by the *anking (abal.
=es, the *anksters have computers that can rig even the *itcoin markets6
Aont get me wrong, I think *itcoin will rise to tens of thousands of dollars
in the near future but it wont be a smooth ride. The moment the !enate
meeting concluded *itcoin shot up and then was slammed down by some
une'plainable force. Weve seen this a million times in !ILHE/6 This force
was claimed to be ,ust an over reaction by 4speculators4 on the previous rise
but I dont buy that argument. This was a planned and e'ecuted attack on the
*itcoin price by the *anking (abal in order to shake out the weak hands.
*ut after every smash *itcoin will become more and more 4anti.fragile4 so
if you have a couple coins ,ust hang on tight.
#f course, in the end it will all come back to physical silver as the -!
)overnment and the *anking (abal turn against *itcoin. They could in a
single day bring an end to *it(oin in many ways. *ut for now Ill keep
playing their game with my few coins buying more on the dips and holding
on the spikes 9I never seem to sell at the top of spiking prices of anything
that is manipulated...Im always too early but thats better than being too
late B)
In this little section of the book I intend to e'amine the nature and purpose
of bitcoin with reference to monetary metals, government fiat, binary codes,
intrinsic value and "#$PI schemes.
&y conclusions are drawn from a biased perspective N mine. %ll
opinions@views are biased and I hope you have learnt to describe yours as I
believe the writing here describes mine. LetKs commence with an
e'amination of the monetary metals.
)old, !ilver, (opper
If you believe it was through accident, fate, or manipulation that the market
places throughout the world and throughout known history have preferred
physical monetary metal in the form of gold, silver, and copper then you are
?uite delusional.
Through much trial.and.error with numerous mediums.of.e'change such as
seeds, paper, tally sticks and other forms of currency, it was discovered by
practically every culture in e'istence that a functional market place re?uired
something that was long.lasting, easily recognised, and easy to transport
around. #ver time, and throughout the world, an enormous amount of gold,
silver, and copper has been forged into coins and bars to facilitate trade
between individuals, groups, and eventually nation states. This isnKt an
accident that occurred through chance, it happened for the simple reason that
gold, silver, and copper in physical form have been the best medium.of.
e'change since time immemorial.
"latinum and palladium have rarely been used since they were discovered
relatively late, and because, more importantly, they are difficult to
distinguish from silver. I state above that the market place naturally craves a
currency thatKs Qeasily recognisableK and as a thought e'periment please
place a gold coin ne't to a silver one ne't to a bron5e@copper one. They are
easily distinguishable from each other and have provided many market
places with a functional currency for items ranging from lu'ury items such
as grand palaces to basic purchases such bag of potatoes. If thereKs an item
for sale, one of the monetary metals can easily provide the medium.of.
e'change, this has always been true and is still true today. I think it will still
prove true in many years to come.
To deny gold, silver, and copper are the Q&onetary ;ingsK is to state that all
our history books are incorrect N which may have an element of truth to it N
but not in this conte't.
The mistakes in the past have been to Qfi'K the value of gold, silver, and
copper in relation to each other, and in a nominal format. Dopefully we
wonKt do that again and instead utili5e the monetary metals on some basic
principlesB "urity and weight along with available supplies and demand
usefulness on top of being money.
*inary code and perception of fiat are in the news a lot more of late. WeKre
starting to hear more.and.more about *itcoin and other crypto currencies as
time goes on and the contemporary monetary system shows increasingly
obvious signs of weakness and vulnerability to collapse.
Those that encourage you to utili5e the new cyber.currency called bitcoin or
one of its unbacked competitors may be well.intentioned, and indeed many
bitcoin advocates are also monetary metal enthusiasts. %lthough there is a
strong suspicion for some regarding bitcoin, IKm philosophical towards it,
although I must stress that I have no interest in it long term myself. I think it
may outlast the temporary international system from >2 but it will not last
long, not like monetary metals.
Dowever, as many have stated bitcoin is merely binary code and has no
intrinsic value whatsoever. 8urthermore, it would appear to have pseudo.
"#$PI scheme ?ualities in which the early adopters are rewarded and the
later.,oining participants gaining less as time unfolds. *itcoin has
apparently increased in price by 0111< in two yearsR does anyone reading
this believe this trend will continue7 What goes up must come down.
In the early days of my awakening to the current monetary systems in play I
fre?uently asked people around me the simple ?uestion, LDow much of
Osterling is in physical notes and coins7M I received a variety of responses
with some believing that F1< is in physical form with the remaining being
stored on a computer database N i.e. in binary code. I used to e'amine their
eyes as the individual elaborated upon the simple fact that a mere one to
three.per.cent of Osterling is physical with the vast ma,ority simply being a
virtual currencySS.M% bit like a computer gameM one person responded.
L=es, indeedM I replied.
&yth #neB The public accepts digital currency is a good thing
I would imagine if a large percentage of the population realised their wealth
was in the format of intangible fiat currency, there would be a global bank.
run in a matter of days. %lthough our contemporary currency system has
functioned like this for some time, it has worked without the general
population being aware of the facts. I would also assume most folk believe
their currency is stored 211< in paper at the bank, an assumption about to be
proved fatal for many throughout the world.
The criminal elite have a dream regarding a QcashlessK society and are
continuously attempting to implement one without success to date. This is
because the vast ma,ority of people have a psyche in the concrete and not in
the abstract. *itcoin, being an intrinsically.worthless and abstract currency
will not be adopted by the general population, and I personally believe that
the ma,ority of folk currently paying attention to its progress are doing so for
one purpose alone N greed and the chance of making a profit. This may
sound and probably is two faced of me because I have bought and am
buying bitcoin every time it dips down significantly. *ut I do not believe it is
a long term store of wealth that would make it money like gold and silver
are. It is not money it is ,ust currency and currency always has 211< chance
of going to its intrinsic value. This brings me to my ne't point.
&yth TwoB *itcoin is a store.of.Halue
"eople often use the shipwreck e'ample to e'plain the notion that gold and
silver are a store.of.value. In essence, itKs simpleB % ship sinks in the year
2>23 with one.hundred gold sovereigns and two.hundred silver florins on
board. In 0123 the ship is discovered by a team of deep.sea divers who
bring the stash up to the surface. Das the gold and silver QstoredK value7
The answer is of course, yes, and not only that they will probably have a
QpremiumK over their intrinsic melt value due to numismatic ?ualities. What
would happen to your Qbitcoin walletK three.hundred years from now, or even
longer7 =es, there are coins from F111 years ago made of electrum in
museums that have a basic melt value. *itcoin also re?uires a computer and
electricity to function, which sounds, to me at least, like a massive
assumption of conditions. Without a computer and electricity bitcoins revert
to their intrinsic value of worthlessness.
&yth threeB !ilver has no intrinsic value
This myth of nonsense has been thrown.around by those that really should
know better, and IKm e'tremely suspicious as this myth is used in correlation
with the promotion of bitcoin. Let us review the e'act words again to put
this myth to bed once.and.for.all.
IntrinsicB belonging to a thing by its very natureB the intrinsic value of a
gold ring.
HalueB relative worth, merit, or importance
Those that are perpetrating the myth that silver has no intrinsic value are
attempting to get you to reason that all value is perceivedS..a flip on the
saying, Lbeauty is in the eye of the beholderM into, Lvalue is in the mind the
beholderM. This is partly true, and, after all, most untruths have an element
of truth to them otherwise they wouldnt work.
!ilver has intrinsic value@importance regardless of whether the human mind
knows of its e'istence, ,ust like o'ygen has intrinsic importance prior to
human kind discovering the properties of the air around us. To suggest
otherwise is either intellectually thick.as.pig.crap, or, as I chiefly suspect,
the mind or minds of those with an agenda to promote QvalueK in an
intrinsically worthless entity such as bitcoin. Those that fall into the latter
category should be fully ashamed of themselves, shunned by the other
awakened folk, and have their nonsense challenged for all to see.
&yth 8ourB *itcoin is anonymous
!ome have said that bitcoins can be coded and then tracked . !o there will
always be a record of where they have been spent. This is worse than fiat in
terms of privacy. !o keep that in mind that all your bitcoin transactions are
being tracked and you may get a large cap gains ta' bills.
Trace &ayer recently appeared on a **( $ewsnight interview to pump the
credentials of bitcoin to the *ritish public. %ccompanied by &r ;nowles, a
shill from the /othschild.controlled Economist, Trace and the shill debated
for a few moments. =ou can review the interview for yourself by searching
google.
Trace was reasonably honest and stated he uses bitcoin as a medium.of.
e'change to circumvent the banking sector, and conceded that it is indeed a
speculation@investment to make a move into bitcoin.
%fter the interview Trace addressed some of the topics discussed, and one of
the arguments the EconomistKs shill made was that bitcoin could be used for
money.laundering, i.e. he was stating the myth that bitcoin is anonymous.
In response, Trace wroteB
L%dditionally, all transactions are permanently stored in the blockchain
which anyone can review. This leaves a tremendous amount of digital
footprints that a competent forensic accountant can follow.M
L(onse?uently, I think &r. ;nowles is attributing to *itcoinKs censorship.
resistant nature a property which it does not have. Cust because a payment
cannot be stopped does not mean it cannot be traced.M
!o there you have it from one of the most knowledgeable people on the
bitcoin operations system. (learly, although there are no capital controls
obvious to T"T* stopping a transaction in bitcoin occurring, they could if
they so wished find out what coins are being used for what, where, and by
which computer I!"$ so the locations.
&yth 8iveB *itcoin is immune to the powers of the *anking (artel
IKm not going to comment too much on this particular myth but would like
to stressB %re you kidding me7
%re you seriously trying to tell me that T"T* in the western world, the same
self.professed elite that had the ability to pay programmers to design
!T-T$ET can not, if they so wished, pay the best computer e'perts to
completely sabotage the e'istence of bitcoin7
Like I statedB %re you kiddinK me7
!ummary@(onclusionB
"hysical monetary metals have served the market place for millennia in
various regions around the globe. This is due to a process of trial.and.error
with a variety of currencies with the outcome being the metals gold, silver,
and copper becoming the Q;ings of monetary historyK.
-nlike bitcoin, gold silver and copper have intrinsic value outside of the
human consciousness and although the human psyche does have a Qvalue in
the mind of the beholderK effect on the monetary metals their value is not
solely derived from such contemplation. *itcoin, on the other hand, is
digital binary code with 5ero intrinsic value similar to digital government
fiat currency.
The ma,ority of humankind operate in the concrete rather than the abstract,
and that is an e'planation as to why T"T* have so far failed to implement
their dream of a cashless society and computer.only currency transactions.
*itcoin will meet the same reception from the general populationSS
especially as the anger stage moves up a gear due to events in the euro area.
"eople will want to hold tangible wealth.
There are a few myths surrounding bitcoin and it is wise for anyone
considering its usage to consider why they are interested in ac?uiring someB
Is it for profit7 Dow much longer will it rise7
Is it for an international medium.of.e'change7 The world is returning to
localism, is it not7
Is it for confidentiality7 Trace &ayer states ?uite clearly there is a paper
trail N or in this case a Qbinary code trailK.
*ut hey, itKs up to you if you want to speculate on whatever and whenever. I
hope I can get the little I risk in crypto currency out and into silver before
crypto goes to its true value of ...............nothing.
8inal thoughts on the wild world of cryptocurrencies
$amecoin was up 201< yesterday. $ot last year, or last month, but
yesterday. $ovacoin7 That was up 2EF<. Uuarkcoin7 031<. *ut the big
mover, well, that was craftcoin. That was up 2,FF>.E<. In one day. I doubt
even the bloke who discovered )hawar 9the worldKs largest oil field) saw
daily gains like that.
=esterday I went to meet a private investor in Tokyo who makes his living
speculating in cryptocurrencies. We had met virtually a few years ago when
I was in London, in 0121 9I think). De got in touch and gave me a couple of
bitcoins N he was living with Qone of the blokes who developed themK. De
either does not know or wont tell me the truth about !atoshi but I will keep
digging.
!o I had plenty to thank him for when I met him again. L#h, donKt worry
about itM, he said. L=ou should take a look at worldcoin now.M LWorldcoin7M
!ome fiddling on a computer and he gave me a thousand of them. LThanks
again6M I say. Thinking if a thousand why not a billion7 They are ,ust
numbers from thin air right7 *ut I did not say anything so unappreciative.
*ut he was thinking along the same lines.
L#h, itKs all right. I want to get the word out. The more people I give them
to, the more peopleKll talk about them. IKve given out a few million of them
today.M
L% million6 %t what price7M 48ree4 was his answer as he was the creator of
this new currency system yesterday to rival bitcoin. It took him about three
days and he insists its better than !atoshis creation.
LWhatKre they worth now7M L%bout F or Jp. They could go to any number.
Aepends how they catch on. #r they could go to nothing. *ut its a better
system than bitcoin.M
Worldcoin, by the way, was QonlyK up 02< yesterday. Its market cap N the
worth of the entire currency N is now +3.E>m N with about 30.F million of
the coins in e'istence. %ll the millions he created and gave out were actually
being bought with fiat by speculators all around the world looking to buy the
ne't bitcoin. %ll from a guy who spends most of his life playing world of
warcraft and age of empires. Indeed the worlds leading *itcoin e'change,
&t. )o', started out trading digital currencies from games and websites
which are e'actly the same in essence as other crypto currencies.
%s I write in 0123 *itcoinKs market cap is about +22.>bn N theyKre trading
near +2111 a piece and there are about 20 million of them in current supply.
L!o whyKs worldcoin better than bitcoin7M LThe transaction times are faster,
other than that its e'actly the sameM, he replied. LDow do you buy them7M
L!ame as bitcoins. =ou swap your fiat for worldcoin or then you go to a
crypto.e'change and swap your bitcoins for some other cryptocoin or some
other fiatM. I loved the casual and rather dismissive way he said QfiatK, rather
than any specific government currency. $ot long ago it was only gold and
silver as the only alternative means of e'change to fiat, now there are an
e'panding number of crypto currencies competing with each other. There
many be a limited number of units in each crypto currency but there is no
limit to how many currencies can be created to compete with everything else
out there. In Capan where crypto currencies came from the fiat currency
supply is measured in the ?uadrillions or some cra5y number. When a crypto
currency is created there is designed to be a finite number available. This is
the main selling feature over e'ponentially e'pending fiat, but it does not
account for an unlimited number of finite competing currency systems.
This partly e'plains why bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency N itKs
the main portal between QfiatK and QcryptoK. It also has first.mover advantage.
While it can take as little as three days to design and build a cryptocurrency
9so my friend tells me), what takes longer is the construction of all the
accompanying websites and services. 8or e'ample, you canKt yet buy
bitcoins with a credit card, as you would an item off %ma5on. =ou have to
deposit your money with an e'change, and wait for it to clear. !o any spotty
teenager on his home "( could create a competitor to bitcoin that in reality
is better, but getting confidence in it that is the hard part. It ,ust like fiat, its a
con game.
*ut there are bound to be better cryptocurrencies, ones that copy bitcoinKs
strengths and improve on its shortcomings. Dow do we know which are the
good ones that will thrive7
L!ome have their own uni?ue selling points,M said my friend. L"rimecoin
helps discover long chains of prime numbers as a by.product of its
computing. $amecoinKs supposed to reduce internet censorship. Litecoin is
the ne't biggest after bitcoin. 8eathercoinKs had a lot of publicity.K L=eah, but
they are all unbacked, what are the good ones are there any backed by more
than thin air7M
LIKve told you. I created worldcoin, but if its backed by something you can
not ,ust create it for free in 3 days on a home "(.M
(ryptocurrencies are e'citing but e'tremely risky
!o what are the risks7 )overnments are a potential problem. If
cryptocurrencies start to present a real threat to fiat money, you can be sure
governments will fight them through regulation and ta'ation.
L=eah, but theyKre slower than we are. They might win the odd battle, but
they wonKt win the war. If you want to corrupt a cryptocurrency and mess it
up you need to control F2< of the mining power. %lready it would
apparently cost half a trillion in computer power to stage a F2< attack on
bitcoin.M I ventured my opinion that there are many way governments could
put a stop to crypto but he would would not have it. 4Its the peoples money,
that they can not control4 I said that is true about physical silver changing
hands in the real world off the computer but not something on a computer
because they can control it, ,ust like they are controlling silver on computers
now.
% bigger issue is that while cryptocurrencies are said toremain anonymous
9not true), there can be no customer protection. There is no deposit
insurance. Cust yesterday it was revealed that AenmarkKs *itcoin Internet
"ayment !ervices lost +2m.worth of bitcoins in a raid that took place over
the course of the past several days.
&y friend lost :1 bitcoins in a raid a year ago. I do a ?uick sum in my head.
LThatKs E1.odd grand6M L=eah, IKm not happy about it.M %nother worry is the
old.fashioned pump and dump. There are more than :1 different
cryptocurrencies in e'istence at time of writing and e'panding. %nyone can
start a currency. #nce it e'ists, users promote and promote it. &y friend is
?uite open about the fact that this is what he is doing with worldcoin.
L=ou often donKt know whoKs behind a coin,M he says. LIt could ,ust be some
teenage dude with a computer in Timbuktu. If he decides to pull the plug and
turn the website off, thereKs not a lot you can do about itM. !o it really is the
Wild West out there.
&eanwhile one bitcoin user wrote that he was having trouble getting his
money out of &t )o' 9the worldKs largest bitcoin e'change). De is not alone.
Indeed, it seems a lot of money is going into crypto, fortunes are being
made, but not a lot is coming out. =ou cant ,ust go to a bank and change it
for fiat, you have to find a buyer and agree a price.
*ut the more widespread cryptocurrencies become, the more people will
come up with ways to deal with these problems. 8or e'ample, my friend is
importing a bitcoin %T&. LIKm going to be the first. =ouKll be able to swap
bitcoins for fiat, or fiat for bitcoins.M ItKs not unlike the early days of the
internet N moving from a wild badlands populated by a few hardcore
pioneers, to the more user.friendly mainstream.
*ubbles are usually built on some revolutionary new technology. Whether
itKs railroads or automobiles or dotcom. This bubble has the potential to be
bigger than all of them. &oney is involved in every transaction we make. I
watched a talk by (onservative &" Aouglas (arswell at the /ussian
Embassy on &onday night. (arswell too is convinced that, ,ust as happened
with music and books, with retailing and information, digital technology will
revolutionise money. *anks and governments will lose their monopoly.
%nd as the %tlas "ulse newsletter observes, whether it was gold in the Q>1s,
Capan in the QE1s or dotcom in the Q:1s, each bubble grew to a value
e?uivalent to the entire !V". =ou ask how big cryptocurrencies can go7 The
!V" is worth about +02 trillion. (ryptocurrencies are worth a total of about
+22bn or +20bn N thereKs a lot of upside.
*ut the problem cryptocurrencies must overcome is that, like the mining
boom of the last decade, pump.and.dump is rife. (ryptocurrencies have
become speculative assets. TheyKre supposed to be mediums of e'change.
Aespite the bubble in automobiles, ,ust three ma,or car companies remain in
the -!. (ompanies like )oogle and 8acebook came after the dotcom bust.
%#L was the leader before. Dow influential is %#L now7 Is bitcoin the ne't
%#L7 Aoes the )oogle of cryptocurrencies even e'ist yet7 I think it will
come after all the unbacked cryptos and be backed by something most likely
silver.
LWhat are you going to do with your cryptocurrency profits7M I ask my
friend. L*uy silver.M %nd he wasnKt ,oking. 8unny how these things come
full circle.
I mean the point of currency is to be a means of e'change, the true definition
of money is a long term store of wealth over long periods of time, not
hundreds of years but thousands. #nly gold and silver are money in and of
themselves. %t any time in history or future in any ma,or city around the
world if you have gold and silver in your pocket then you could spend it on a
place to stay, food maybe new clothes, then travel and anything else you
need. Even if you have to change it for currency first.
#nly gold and silver are money everything else is ,ust currency including
crypto like bitcoin.
The crypto loving crowd say times have changed and the monetary cycle
will not repeat any more. This time its different, famous last words. Every
time its the same, is closer to the truth most of the time.
!ilver is a uni?ue element with various values of use in that, it relies on no
one for its intrinsic worth. In addition people may like it as ,ewelry but thats
only as a bonus, its has 21,111 and growing uses. It has thousands of years
history as money in every part of the world.
*itcoin is reliant on its network pretty much, it could carry on to some
e'tent but mostly its worth is in the instant transaction where silver could
also have this long distance transaction feature for the first time in history as
well as close pro'imity hand to hand means of e'change. &y silvergram
idea or something like it is the obvious progression of unbacked crypto.
The big problem with unbacked currency like bitcoin is its useless by itself.
*T( has no use at all apart from currency it has no value in and of itself
none, so it a ship with holes in it. If clever they can continually be bailed out
by its high applicability 9small internet cash), money velocity, efficiency
whatever works.
Dowever its default bias is to sink to Aavy Cones locker.
Especially under the weight of overwhelming and consistent competition
due to its open source as well as real world e'changes and infinite
competing copycat currencies which are getting better every year.
#k. Daving tooted my *itcoin horn... the biggest reason I have embraced the
*itcoin phenomenon is that *IT(#I$ WILL 8/EE !ILHE/ 8/#& TDE
)/I" #8 TDE *%$;!TE/ "/I(E /I))E/!6
Its true and it has already started to take place. There are now do5ens of
*itcoin millionaires that are both ama5ed at the skyrocketing price and
scared that their new found millions can evaporate in a blink of an eye.
These are not dumb people. These people have earned their wealth by
understanding the dynamic nature of money and now that they are successful
they want to keep their wealth.
They will invest a substantial amount of this virtual money in the ne't best
thing..."D=!I(%L !ILHE/666
!o with *itcoin inching its way into the minds of the public people are
naturally thinking about WD%T would make the *E!T form of monetary
system when the present temporary one ends. &ost in the 4hard money4
camp believe that gold and silver are the best things we have to use as
money. The main reason being that their U-%$TIT= is limited by the
amount of each metal that you pull out of the ground. Thats why gold and
silver have been the best forms of money for thousands of years.
*ut with the advent of computers and derivatives all that changed. $ow the
4supply4 of gold and silver is not limited by what you pull out of the ground
but rather by the amount of computer generated derivatives that the *anking
(abal can create and sell on the (#&ET and L*&%...which is unlimited6 It
is impossible for gold and silver to be used as a form of currency or as fair
medium of e'change as long as computers and derivatives are being used to
distort their true 48air &arket Halue4. -ntil the manipulation ends fair value
can not be determined by the free market.
!# WE %/E !T-(;.
*ut distorted reality cannot last forever. %nd it wont.
%s we approach the breakdown of the *anksters computer rigging
operations you must also be aware that "hysical )#LA is much more
abundant than what 4they4 are telling us. The physical )old supply of
2E1,111 tons ?uoted in the mainstream media was I$HE$TEA by Darry
#ppenheimer in the 2:J1s 9same Darry #ppenheimer of the Ae *eers
diamond rigging cartel6) . It was a *I) lie perpetuated and carried forth by
the likes of Ceffrey (hristian, )8&! and the World )old (ouncil for the
past F1 years.
In reality...
TDE !-""L= #8 "D=!I(%L )#LA I! WELL I$T# TDE &ILLI#$!

If you are a hard metal advocate "D=!I(%L !ILHE/ is a much, much
better way to go. There has been a concerted effort to make it look like there
is more silver available than there actually is when at the same time a
concerted effort has been made to make it look like there is less gold
available than there actually is.
%nd if you want to be able to e'change goods for services in the 4new post.
crash world4 you would be smart to get involved with *itcoin and the like
because they will be with us after the temporary systems ends as the )lobal
8iat &onetary !ystem that was started in 2:>2 falls to the wayside.
Deres what I see in our future..."hysical silver as a store of wealth and
*itcoin 9or whichever crypto wins the con game) as a transaction@e'change
facilitator. %s soon as a decent monetary precious metal backed competing
digital monetary system is released to rival bitcoin and the other unbacked
cryptos it will be lights out for unbacked currency and the cycle will have
repeated and the free market will have chosen money once again. This time
for the first time in history it will be possible to transact both digitally or
physically with monetary precious metal.
The world is about to change for the better and you would be wise to change
with the times.
Its like 4de,a vous4 all over again6
Whenever I discover something big or new through my research that goes
against the popular opinion I invariably get emails that go like this... 4Aave,
you are totally losing all credibility with your take on WWWWWWWW9fill in the
blank). (ool it or youll destroy your information sharing group64
D%6 It never changes6 Dere are ,ust some of the topics I have endorsed over
the past 21 years that people went ballistic on...
. The banking system is going to crash and you need to get out of it.
. !ell your mining stocks and buy physical metal.
. The same monetary cycle going from money to currency and back again is
repeating as it always has done.
. !wap all your gold for silver.
. 4They4 can set the price of gold and silver to +1 with a click of a computer
mouse.
. There is a massive amount of physical gold in hiding.
...and there are many many more. &ost of these statements were brought up
long before anybody was even thinking about them. !ome people still cant
get their heads around some of them and yet as we get closer and closer to
the E$A of this (#$ I still hold that all of the above were true then and are
true now.
%nd the latest...*IT(#I$6
"eople love to hate *itcoin and they love to tell me that my 4credibility4 is at

*ut once again, as with all of the above, we will be talking about *itcoin
years from now and how it !%HEA part of our system after the banks
imploded.
$o, I will not change my analysis on something ,ust to 4!%HE &=
(/EAI*ILIT=4.
Cust as a side note to all the *itcoin 4Aoom and )loomers4...
The /E%L value in *itcoin is not in the price speculation, get rich ?uick
schemes or trading the cra5y price volatility but rather in its value as a
&#$ET%/= -TILIT= in the e'change of goods and services.
With the annual )ross Aomestic "roduct 9)A") of the world above +>1
Trillion fiat dollars I would think there is plenty of room for a few
competing currencies like )old, !ilver and of course for online
transactions...*itcoin6
%pparently so does #verstock.com as they ,ust announced that they will
start accepting *itcoin...
!o in 012G I will be able to buy any of the :EG,111 items that
#verstock.com offers...with a click of a mouse paying no transaction fees to
the banksters6
Dmmm...!ign of things to come7
I wonder how long before %ma5on, e*ay, )oogle, 8acebook, etc figure out
that accepting *itcoin or similar can increase their market share, add to their
revenues and drastically decrease their banking e'penses7 &aybe it is
accepted everywhere by the time you are reading this7 &aybe my silvergram
competing monetary system or something like it will have killed off all
unbacked currency by the time you are reading this7
The battle to retake our financial system is in full view of the world now.
*itcoin 0.1.
I do love how bitcoin has changed the world, and now there is no going
back. Its not ,ust a crypto currency you see, this really is a game changer.
What is bitcoin 0.17 There are many different pro,ects that are currently
aiming to take *itcoin to the ne't level, and its likely that there wont be one
clear winner when everything is said and done. There will likely be a bitcoin
3.1 and G.1 and on and on. Its not ,ust about currency.
There are many different applications that can be built on top of this
technology, and *itcoin is only the first of many apps to come. When you
forget about *itcoin and ,ust look at the technology, there are a large number
of new possibilities that ,ump out at you. 8or e'ample, if you can have a
decentrali5ed ledger that e'plains who owns which asset, then why do we
need centrali5ed stock e'changes7 If we can have a global consensus on who
owns which domain name or email address, then why do we need
centrali5ed versions of these services7 If its possible to create a global
marketplace where buyers and sellers can find each other in a decentrali5ed
manner, then why do we need to use e*ay7 These are ,ust a few of the
possibilities that people are looking at right now when it comes to taking the
technology behind *itcoin and applying it to more than ,ust payments.
(olored (oins
#ne of the first *itcoin 0.1 platforms that was put into development was
(olored (oins. They recently released the alpha version of their
(hromawallet, and the developers behind this pro,ect e'pect to have a
lighter version of the client released in a few weeks. !o what will you be
able to do with this speciali5ed wallet7 The main idea behind the (olored
(oins pro,ect is that you will be able to apply secondary values to certain
bitcoins on the *itcoin blockchain. Those secondary values can then be used
to create completely new digital currencies that are backed by real world
assets. 8or e'ample, lets say you own some gold at your house. =ou could
hypothetically take F satoshis 91.1111111F *T() and say that each one of
those satoshis is e?ual to one gram of the gold or silver that you hold in your
home. =ou could then e'change those F satoshis backed by one gram of gold
each on the decentrali5ed e'change in the (hromawallet. This means that
you could instantly e'change gold to bitcoins, dollars, euros, or any other
user currency that is created in the (hromawallet. %nother, and perhaps ever
more e'citing, e'ample is creating stock in a company on the blockchain
with (olored (oins. In this situation, you would take 2111 satoshis, or
however many shares you want to create in your company, and say that
those 2111 satoshis are now e?ual to one share of your new company. The
(olored (oins pro,ect is a nice introduction to the kinds of features that will
are going to see built on top of *itcoin over the ne't few years.
This is not the long awaited monetary metal backed crypto currency, and the
issues have not yet been resolved about trust and how someone could claim
the gold or silver in place of the digital promise.
!o Who Will Win the *attle7
%t the end of the day, the reality is that all of these *itcoin 0.1 technologies
are not really competing against each other. #pen Transactions will allow
people to trade protoshares, mastercoins, bitcoins, and everything else on
their servers. "erhaps you will even be able to trade a protoshares.backed
currency on top of &astercoin for *it&astercoins one day. Dumanity wins
with the creation of all these new decentrali5ed services and technologies,
and we can all thank !atoshi $akamoto for his, her, or their creation of the
blockchain technology. In a few years, we could be talking about a situation
where the entire Internet has been replaced with services that use the
blockchain technology as the foundation of their development.
*ut I still dont buy it7 Dow do we know a *itcoin0.1 is really backed by
gold or whatever asset the backer is pledging7
The ?uestion was answered by those pushing bitcoin 0.1...4#f course, there
is still the problem of having to trust that a third party who is backing their
currency by gold, silver, or any other asset actually has the asset in a vault
somewhere. The good news is that a solution for this problem has recently
been found. In addition to issuing a currency, an issuer can also store
collateral for the users of his or her currency in the form of bitcoins. 8or
e'ample, if there was a currency that was backed by one ounce of gold, then
the issuer of that currency could send an ounce of golds worth of bitcoins
into an escrow account and agree to distribute those bitcoins to the holders
of that particular currency in a situation where there is a 4run on the bank.4
#k. !o what is the point in raising capital by backing *itcoins with gold if
the raised capital needs to be sent to some escrow account7 Its virtual
backed by virtual. Where is the gain for the person putting up the gold
-$LE!! DE I! T/=I$) T# LE%!E )#LA I$T# TDE &%/;ET7 This
has a deflationary effect on gold as new so called supply floods the market.
London and the (hinese will love this one as they gobble it up6 It can also
turn into a dangerous game when supply eventually runs out and gold prices
rise. The gold leasers then have to cover their losses. We are starting to see
credit strapped (hinese businesses fall into this very gold leasing trap.
(apitalism 0.1 is starting to look like "on5i !cheme 0.1. 8irst Wall !treet
en,oyed the "on5i !cheme. $ow &ain !treet can get in on the action6 If
people are stupid enough to ,ump on this bandwagon, maybe the collapse
can be delayed longer. *ut the conse?uences will be even more horrific. $ot
only will this deflationary system crash, but whatever real wealth people
have left will be leased out and gone into stronger hands. "eople will be left
with nothing but *itcoins and the Escrow accounts will be nothing more
than worthless blockchains of data when the %%% *itcoin turns int AAA
credit. This digital currency may be the great deception and a way of
delaying the same monetary cycle repeating. 8rom currency back to money.
-nbacked crypto is ,ust currency, truly backed crypto is money, as long as it
is freely interchangeable digital for real grams of &onetary "&s.
The old phraseB If it smells like crap then its crap.
Aiscussing the difference in bitcoin and bitcoin0 is like debating a china
pattern on tea sets aboard the Titanic6 The operative thought on everyones
mind these days should be 4(an I stand in front of it and defend it74 none of
us knows the future, when, where, to what e'tent. We do know change is
coming, and it isnt going to be pleasant. %s such for me and my house we
will store and stack real silvergrams until the white water has been forded.
There may come a time for bitcoin, but the ethereal is not a sub,ect during a
time of chaos, or chaos to come. Even if it is legit, it is a AI!T/%(TI#$
from individual preparations and planning. The fact that nobody really
understands what it is or where it really came from, nor is able to e'plain it
should be the answer we are looking for. /eality is always simple.
(omplicated formulas and things involving counter party risk 9like trust that
they have done what they claim) is the reason it should be avoided. )ranted,
there may be a shed.load of people make a fortune off this, good for them. I
watch my neighbors currently making a killing in the stock market. I listen
to their taunting ,eers and derision. I steel my resolve, knowing it is but an
illusion, propped up on a casinos promise of easy wealth. If bitcoin is real it
will survive what is to come and there will be ample opportunity to prosper
from it. *ut its not backed by anything real, it is virtual.
8inal thoughts on crypto, the Aark Wallet.
There was one school dropout who had taken the initiative to manufacture
liberty on his own.
Embracing the technology of the future, Aefense Aistributor founder (ody
Wilson championed an effort to make 3A.printed guns available to anyone
who was interested. In fact, he made it so interested parties could actually
print those guns in the comfort and convenience of their own homes.
%lthough he stirred up a great deal of controversy in 0123 by publicly
posting blueprints for anyone to download via the Internet, Wilson asserted
that he was simply counter.acting the recent attacks on our liberty.
(ommenting on laws that infringe upon some of our basic civil liberties,
Wilson stated, 4We see liberty under threat, we see sovereignty under threat.
We must respond.4
=ears have passed, and many 3A printed uns are being made, Wilson has
indeed proven hes not ,ust a gun guy. Des a freedom guy. %nd hes doing
everything in his power to ensure that freedom is still granted...
#nly this time hes honing in on financial freedom. Cust as the year 012G
started, Wilson rattled headlines yet again. This time X keeping true to his
motto of embracing the future and manufacturing liberty X the 0F.year.old
libertarian is making waves in the *itcoin community.
%nd regulators are ?uite concerned with what he has up his sleeve this
time...
"aradigm !hiftB The Aollars /eplacement is #nline
4We need an anonymous cash online.4 X (ody Wilson
While many feel that e.cash will very likely to replace the dollar and other
tangible forms of fiat money, Wilson has taken that idea even further.
%s an ever.increasing number of investors flock to *itcoins as a hedge
against todays currency crisis, Wilson has found a demand for online cash
transactions that are not regulated. The Wall !treet Cournal reports his
rationaleB
4Its not that I want you to buy drugs,4 he says. 4Its ,ust that I think you
should have the freedom to do it.4
%s soon as this alternative currency came into the spotlight, e'perts in favor
of *itcoin feared it would soon be 4s?uashed under the full weight of
8ederal law,4 according to 8orbes. It was assumed that when *itcoins were
officially regarded as money in the -.!., there would also be a tightening
legal net around them.
That assumption proved to be well.founded...
Earlier this year, the 8inancial (rimes Enforcement $etwork published
guidelines mandating that *itcoin.related businesses be considered &oney
!ervices *usinesses under -.!. law. This would mean every company that
dealt in *itcoin currency would be considered 4a financial institution4 that
had 4the same obligations as any money services business.4
#f course, that responsibility doesnt come cheap. *arclays *ank actually
closed down a money transfer business to East %frica due to the costs that
came with it X obeying the regulators rules turned out to cost more than the
bank was able to make from the transactions.
%ll things considered, Wilson saw a window of opportunity and got to work
right away. If he could find a way to remove the middleman X the
regulators X and make *itcoin transactions anonymous, underground
money transfer businesses might be able to thrive.
&oreover, individuals would have the freedom to buy and sell whatever they
wanted in privacy. Dis present goal is to cover the tracks made by these
4financial institutions4 9or any individual buying or selling) when they use
*itcoins for transactions. %nd hes about to launch software that will make
this a reality.
Wilson isnt alone. Des part of a large band of programmers ambitiously
motivated to actuali5e new technology for the sole purpose of overcoming
legal mandates that impose on our personal freedom. They too support
Wilsons Aark Wallet software.
Aark WalletB "romoting Aigital (ash as a "rivate, )overnment.8ree
(urrency
Its no surprise that libertarians are touting this movement as a giant leap
forward in finding something more legitimate and secure than todays
crumbling dollar.
#ne billionaire libertarian, "ay"al founder "eter Theil, recently met &r.
Wilson to discuss the future of *itcoin. % close friend of Theils said he
seemed impressed with Wilsons entrepreneurial efforts and confident in his
future potential.
*ut even some unlikely supporters have highlighted the benefits of *itcoin
and other online currencies. In $ovember, 8ed (hairman *en *ernanke told
lawmakers these alternative currencies 4may hold long.term promise,
particularly if the innovations promote a faster, more secure, and more
efficient payment system.4
8or other supporters interested in helping Wilson achieve his goals to get
this 4government.free4 program released after 012G, developers are
accepting donations. !o far, Wilson has raised roughly +0F1,111 X most of
it in *itcoin.
%fter dropping out of school in order to pursue his real passion of protecting
liberty, Wilson e'presses a strong fervor for his Aark Wallet pro,ect, saying
it 4captures everything we want to do.4
I am very interested and I recommend having a little bitcoin kept in a dark
wallet either from Wilsons pro,ect or one of the other dark wallets available.
*ut the ultimate dark wallet that is completely safe and completely private
would be silver bullion held privately taken out of the banking system. There
could be ways of depositing it back into the system for digital transactions
and this portion could be held in a dark wallet like the unbacked crypto dark
wallets. *ut digital is not as safe or private as physical silvergrams held
privately. *ut then there may be times when you want to transact digitally
with something like the silvergram monetary system so the dark wallet
version of silvergram would be best. The best option would be a backed 9by
monetary precious metal) digital monetary system that could also be tangible
for ultimate privacy.
There are ways of doing it privately now. In the -! there is craigslist in the
-; we have )umtree.com
%ll you need is an anonymous email address you can set up a new one every
few days. %rrange to meet up at a train station or something. They dont need
to know who you are and you dont need to know who they are. Cust meet
somewhere public with lots of cameras.
The beauty of silver bullion is its private, changing hands anonymously its
far more private than a bitcoin dark wallet transaction.
Ao not underestimate the power of the dark wallet. #r private bullion which
is even darker 9more private and safer) than an electronic dark wallet.

Earlier in this book my analysis shows that we are HE/= (L#!E to the
repeat of the same monetary cycle that has repeated through history. Which
means this time around the breakdown of the entire fiat monetary system
that started in 2:>2 and I thought it a great time to go over final preparations
for the coming chaos. In the grand scheme of things you can never be fully
prepared for what is about to transpire because nobody alive on earth has
been through it before...not to this scale. I guess the closest thing we can
compare it to is the e'perience of the )ermans in the early 2:01s with the
Weimar /epublic. &aybe some close to 211yr old )ermans may still be

ELE(T/#$I( %!!ET! really are7 Im not that old but I can remember my
first savings account in *ritannia *uilding !ociety before that collapsed and
I was issued something called a 4passbook4 where the bank had a special
stamp they put in my book to record every deposit and withdrawal I made.
They also wrote it down in their ledger and signed off on the transaction. 8or
some reason, the act of physically recording my fluctuating wealth made me
feel very secure even though the access to my 4wealth4 was totally
dependent upon the health and well being of my bank.
That was only around G1 years ago. $ow days EHE/=TDI$) is done on
computers. =our balance, statements, checks, withdrawals, deposits have all
been turned into little 2s and 1s and stored on magnetic disks. #h, be

HI/T-%L.
(urrency is (/E%TEA in the same way....with little 2s and 1s on magnetic

computer wealth is even less reliable than paper wealth which in itself is not
credible. It is not real wealth but a derivative of wealth. It is nothing but
HI/T-%L WE%LTD6
=ou might laugh at the 2>th century Autch who e'perienced the first
recorded financial bubble bursting with Tulip &ania.
Dow could they have possibly believed that a 8L#WE/ could take on the
characteristics of money...of true wealth7 Well, what do you figure those
4(ra5y Autchmen4 would think if we told them that we placed %LL our faith
in tiny electronic 2s and 1s recorded on a magnetic disc7 Who are the
/E%L 8##L!7
Trust in electronic wealth has turned into some kind of &%!! D=!TE/I%
far worse than the tulip mania or any other mass hysteria ever. To think that
the entire world has freely placed all their wealth in these little electric blips
and in the hands of those who control all the 2s and 1s. What if those 2s
and 1s were to disappear one day7 )one forever7 What would you /E%LL=
own then7 Would you kick yourself for buying into the &%!! D=!TE/I%
when it cracks7
I guarantee you that our little e'periment with 4HI/T-%L WE%LTD4 is
going to end very badly...and very soon6 Its ,ust the same monetary cycle
repeating as it always has through history.
Look at the new businesses that have been hatched in the last decade, as they
litter the Wall !treet landscape. They are truly pathetic. !ee $et8li' and
8ace*ook and )roupon and LinkeIn, even Twitter and &onster. The list is

couches and kitchen bo'es. These are not corporations with deep capital
investment and useful products flowing, intellectual capital e'ploited, value
added from talented work forces, and enduring contributions to both
economy and society.
Lets talk about different scenarios of how these 2s and 1s can be erased
from this world.
!(E$%/I# 2 . The E&"9Electro &agnetic "ulse)
Lets talk about the sun. Its changing. Its always changing but
understanding what ramifications might come of these changes will be
relevant for a discussion about the future of our monetary system. 8irst, the
sun goes through cycles with increased solar activity on a fairly regular
basis.
We are entering into a solar ma'imum where we will encounter more and
more solar flares and coronal mass e,ections. These events have the ability to
seriously mess with our electronics down here on earth.

Dundreds of years ago a decent si5ed E&" hitting the earth would not have
been such a big deal because we were not so reliant on electronics. Which
was a good thing because such an event did happen. )oogle the The solar

I have written countless passages on why silver is the Y2 best investment in

even comes close to the supply@demand dynamics, investment fundamentals,

the very near future. The truth of the matter is...

Daving said that it doesnt mean that there will $EHE/ be an appropriate
time to sell or spend your physical silver. The cardinal rule of smart
investing is not to get too emotionally attached to your investments and to
rationally think through your investment reasoning. %fter you have outlined
your reasons for investing you should keep track of whether or not those
reasons are !TILL H%LIA.
!o in that spirit I have listed the 01 issues I monitor related to my original
reasons to invest in physical !ilver. %fter a good ma,ority of these
e'pectations are fulfilled especially the last one I will seriously consider
selling 9depending on what system replaces the current temporary one) or
more than likely spending my entire stake in physical !ilver.
Deres the list in order of current importanceB
2) The removal of the gigantic concentrated short position on the (#&ET
!ilver market as reported in the (8T( (ommitment of Traders and *ank
"articipation /eports.
0) The announcement of charges filed by both the (8T( and the 8*I against
these banks for !ilver market manipulation.
3) The shut down of the i!hares !ilver ET8 9!LH) and the subse?uent
impossible attempt by !LH investors to transfer into physical silver in their
own possession.
G) The implementation of (#&ET /E%LI!TI( "osition Limits in !ilver of
no more than 2,F11 contracts and the enforcement of the Aisruptive Trading
"ractices law.
F) The winding down of the outrageous and manipulative !ilver derivative
positions held by C" &organ and (itibank as reported by the -! #ffice of
the (omptroller of the (urrency.
J) The mass redemption of paper !ilver currently held in paper promises of
real silver like "ooled !ilver %ccounts and !ilver (ertificate "rograms into
/E%L physical silver that is then held in the possession of the owner.
>) The !ilver to )old "rice /atio reflects the true physical relationship
between above ground available gold and above ground available silver
stockpiles that is available for sale on a free and open market.
E) The reali5ation by industrial users of silver that the supply of physical
silver is rapidly depleting and with the future of producing their products in
,eopardy they begin stockpiling physical silver.
:) The reversal of !ilvers ever increasing use in industrial applications due
to either high prices or the discovery of a viable substitute with similar
physical properties and attributes. 8or e'ample )raphene which costs
+21,111 per ounce to make.
21) The reali5ation by the remaining ::.:< of the investing public that does
not currently own any physical that !ilver is e'tremely undervalued and
should be held by all investors interested in portfolio safety and value
appreciation.
22) %cknowledgment by the *ullion *anks and )overnments that they have
been involved in the price suppression of !ilver in order to support and
e'tend the global confidence in the temporary un.backed fiat system.
20) %ll !ilver statistical reporting companies have completely revised their
historical numbers to reflect the true supply@demand realities of the past and
admit to the massive annual physical silver deficit going forward.
23) The -!)! and other )eological surveys alert the world to the reality
that at the /E%L current !ilver consumption rates there is less than 01 years
of known below ground !ilver reserves remaining in the world. %fter that
very little and very hard to get newly mined silver is available.
2G) The reali5ation by investors that significant increases in the price of
!ilver would not curtail industrial demand as silver is mostly used in very
small amounts in each product produced.
2F) The mainstream media highlights that the investment drivers for !ilver
far out weigh the investment drivers for )old.
2J) The -! &int starts to produce -! !ilver Eagle coins 4in ?uantities
sufficient to meet demand4 and no longer illegally rations their dwindling
supply.
2>) When investors stop saying that silver is 4too hard to store4 and start
worrying that silver is 4too valuable to leave in a banks safe or any other
deposit bo'4.
2E) When (entral *ankers around the world stop printing virtual currency
every time there is a 4bump in the road4 on their never ending ?uest to foster
perpetual growth and end the e'traordinary transfer of wealth from 4the
many4 to 4the few4.
2:) The -! )overnment and the (iti5ens of the -nited !tates recogni5e and
acknowledge that %rticle I, !ec. 21 of the -! (onstitution specifies that only
gold and silver coin can be legally used as money and the (oinage %ct of
2>:0 defined the -! Aollar as 4three hundred and seventy.one grains and
four si'teenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and si'teen grains of
standard silver.4
and finally...
01) The price of silver has risen so high that it has fulfilled all my hopes and
aspirations as an investor and I can now use my unmanipulated free market
valued silver to fund my early retirement whatever the new monetary system
will be when the current temporary one ends.
!o there it is. Thats the list of events that must take place for the fulfillment
of my !ilver investing motivations. &%;E $# &I!T%;EB The price
impact to silver when each one of these events takes place will be
!T-$$I$)...and sooner or later they will %LL take place6

Ar %uthor. Why do you say bitcoin will survive after the temporary system7
I would put bitcoin in with all the other virtual assets that will get wiped
when the monetary cycle repeats7 Why do you like bitcoin over fiat7 %t least
with fiat you can buy things with it, until the cycle repeats. I dont want any
bitcoin because I cant touch it, feel it, put in under my pillow, or in a flower

I do touch my bitcoin. $ot everyday but every time I open my safe at home.
I touch one of the thumb drives it is stored on and I touch one of the many
the paper printouts of my position on the blockchain. =es it is virtual blips,
but they are virtual blips outside the banking system. Thats why I like
*itcoin over fiat, but I like silver over bitcoin.
The value of my position on the blockchain will be reali5ed fully when those
who didnt believe in it try to make an economic transaction happen after the
banks fail. Without C"&9aka the *anksters) and the 8ed there are no credit

$one of it.
&y *itcoin will still be here. #utside of the banking system held in a dark
wallet safe if the internet gets shut down. !till be in my safe or even if I lose
that one of my many back up printouts in very safe places. If the internet
goes down then I will ,ust hold it until it comes back up. If it never does then
I doubt gold and silver will be worth anything either...it will then be down to
guns and food in that scenario6 I think there is very little chance of that &ad
&a' scenario where civilisation breaks down and we never have internet
ever again.
Lucky for you... your copper and silver in hand could possibly get you a
position on the block chain after the crash but it will cost you.

!o Im going to follow on with the *itcoin analysis. Cudging from what came
out above there is still a lot of misunderstanding about the mighty bitcoin.
=es it relies on internet and electricity but I do not believe these will be off
for good, when they come back your place on the block chain will be safe if
you have prints outs of your position on the blockchain safe for when you
can ne't get online.
8irst the haters...
The 4*itcoin !creechers4 as enthusiasts like to call them. They never
understood the concept, never bought a bitcoin and cant see what is
happening so they try to tear it down. They scream 4I told you so64 over and
over and over with every setback. 8or the last several years Ive been hearing
it and I e'pect I will hear it for the ne't decades in my early retirement. !o
be it. I will be spending a couple of grams of silver or a couple of !atoshis
91.1111112 *T() on a months food and fuel in my retirement.
*itcoin is ,ust fine and growing stronger by the day. Every setback makes
bitcoin !T/#$)E/ because they are fi'ed or resolved in some manner as
every one has been problems with protocols and businesses one step
removed from *itcoin itself. They are problems with the people and
structures trying to e'ploit bitcoin and not a problem with the *itcoin code
or protocol. =ou name itB !ilk /oad 2 V 0, the &t. )o' e'change collapse,
lost coins, stolen coins, government attacks, bankster attacks...you name it .
all 3rd party issues and $#T even close to a problem with *itcoin itself.
I suppose the same happened when barter evolved into a commodity based
monetary system from obsidian trading which evolved into copper trading
which evolved into silver trading which evolved into gold trading. #r non
commodity based money like bills of trade to tallies to goldsmith receipts to
demand deposits to bank notes to debt based notes to the debt based
electronic entries we have today.
Ao you see how much what we use as money has changed over the years7
This is happening again. *ut what lies ahead for our $EWE!T form of
currency7 #ur non.debt based, decentrali5ed crypto.currency called *itcoin7
I see very, very good things in the future for bitcoin as our fraudulent,
*ankster controlled fiat system crumbles. *ut there will be big dips and
peaks a wild ride so be ready for it. There is nothing wrong with like me
buying the dips and selling the peaks.
=es, gold and silver and even copper will do well also. They will do well
because they have a long history of taking the place of failed and faulty
currencies. They will do well because the L#$) TE/& &%$I"-L%TI#$
WILL E$A the the banksters are taken out.
If you hold physical gold, silver and copper in your own possession you will
do very well as they are both an e'cellent store of value.
*ut *itcoin is something much more important than both gold and silver.
*itcoin is a means of e'change. It is an e'cellent means of e'change that
re?uires no bankster middleman. It doesnt rely on any 3rd party credit to
remain standing other than the internet and if that goes I doubt it will be for
long. Its unlikely to be switched off and even more unlikely to remain off or
replaced with something similar for long. If the (hinese or someone else
puts out their own version of the internet then bit coin can continue on that.
This is why I keep printouts of my place on the blockchain for if the internet
is off for any length of time. /eady for when everything comes back online.
*ut as I keep saying I think the chances of electricity or internet seriously
coming to an end are very remote.
*ut something that is not a ,ust a very remote chance but as certain as
certain can ever be, something both the bitcoiners and the gold@silver bugs
agree upon is that the temporary system is on the brink of imploding. What
will we do after the dust clears7
There will be no banking system. $o way to transact business between two
parties at a significant distance. $o way to sell gold or silver e'cept trade it
locally for goods and services. % new monetary system will have to be
started up but it will take a long time and there will be absolutely $#
T/-!T in those who try to do it6
Hoila...*itcoin will still be here6 %t first it will start slow but as things start
getting back together bitcoin will be favored over all others.
Then you will see people trading in gold and silver to get their hands on a
single sliver of bitcoin.
*itcoin is a utility...and it be the most valuable utility in the world when the
banking system comes crumbling down6
I used to think that gold and silver would do much better as an investment
than bitcoin and I still do...in the short term. *ut in the long term, after the
crash, the world population will need something else to use to transact
business and bitcoin is a very good tool for processing transactions. *etter in
many ways than gold and silver but not as good in even more ways so IT!
%$=*#A=! )-E!! which will do better in a post fiat world.
It (#-LA be bitcoin or something like it. I would prefer a fully backed and
redeemable version of bitcoin, this means it cant go to nothing, and you
could withdraw whatever is backing each unit then transact privately with it.
When I say whatever is backing it, I think silver would be the best. &y
silvergram idea, it sounds a bit like moneygram, but is referring to actual
grams of silver. !ilver is now more rare than gold in available stockpiles and
far more useful and needed for modern.

The coming perfect economic storm.
(an you imagine an old fisherman, I think of my father or grandfather who
were both fishermen, dressed in oilskins and boots maybe smoking a pipe
9well not my family we would never smoke.) De looks out to sea at the
hori5on and remarks 4Looks like a storms a coming64
Dow does he know7 Well he has been living on and working the sea for
many years. De has learnt to recognise the signs. If our idealised fisherman
was to look out at todays financial hori5on, he would say 4looks like a very
nasty storm is coming. De may suggest you move your boat to a safer place,
or even take it out of the water altogether as big a ,ob as that is.
Aark, lowering financial and economic clouds are, it seems, rolling in from
every directionB The euro 5one, the -nited !tates, (hina and elsewhere.
This financial storm is going to be dark and terrifying. *ut I promise if you
head the warnings and move your resources to safer areas especially
monetary precious metals, then it will be bright and sunny for you once the
storm has passed.
These coming problems are going to be the launch pad for gold and silvers
rocket ship to the moon. The worse this coming economic storm becomes
the greater golds rocketing to the moon will be and silver will be going to
"luto.
These problems add up to the mathematically inevitable death of the fiat
currency system the world has been on since 2:>2.
The problems I am talking about are the global trade imbalances, budget
deficits, and rampant debts surging and even more rampant debt defaults or
bailouts. These defaults or debts write offs are a contraction of the currency
supply which is deflation so to fight this deflation there is massive even
more rampant currency abuse and e'panding of currency supplies going on.
*ut most of all, the really big killer is the derivatives time bomb.
The world is drowning in a sea of debt and derivatives. The official statistics
at time of writing are shocking and almost unbelievable, but +0.F ?uadrillion
9+0,F11,111,111,111,111) worth of derivatives e'ist and are traded on the
e'changes. *y the time you are reading this the worlds debts and derivatives
will be much more. 4% trillion here and a trillion there and pretty soon you
are talking about real money4 #r not as the case may be. This is ,ust part of
the monetary cycle repeating.
This number is absolutely ridiculous when you consider that the total )A",
the total value of all countries combined, is only about +J1 trillion according
to The World *ank.
That means that on top of already e'isting fractional reserve banking, there
is more than F1 times more derivatives than there is real value in the world.
What are these derivatives we are talking about7 !imply put they are a way
for the big banks to transfer risk away from themselves unfairly. Imagine
making bets at a casino if you win you get to keep the money but if you lose
someone else has to pay not you. The creators of these derivatives cannot
lose. *ut the losses have to go somewhere and that is why the +0.F
?uadrillion figure keeps going up.
It is ,ust the same as the number of animal skins or shells or sticks or other
forms of currency e'panding in supply. *ut this time it is the entire world
and the numbers are staggering.
Its very hard to estimate how many units of currency there are in the entire
world at any one time but what is certain is that it is e'panding and has to
keep e'panding or the entire system will collapse. (an something like this
e'pand forever7 %bsolutely not. !o its a mathematical certainty that the
system will collapse. %s to the how and when it will happen that is not
certain, but the longer it is postponed the worse it will be when it does
happen.
/aoul "al, the highly.regarded hedge fund manager who once co.managed
one of the worldKs largest hedge fund groups, )L) )lobal &acro 8und in
London has this to say. 4It has to do with the persistent nature of the debt
crisis that began in 2:>2.4 "al outlined the problem at a seminar in !hanghai
this past summer for other hedge fund managers X a presentation
PeroDedge called one of the Lscariest ever.M In it he predicted a cascading
sovereign debt collapse and default that would begin in Europe, ,ump the
(hannel to London, then move progressively through Capan, !outh ;orea
and even (hina. 8inally, it would envelope the -nited !tates. The problem,
he says, is that +>1 trillion in ).21 sovereign debt is collateral for +>11
trillion in derivatives.
#r put simply the supply of animal skins or currency e'panding an an
e'ponential rate.
L=ou have to understand,M he e'plains, Lthat a global banking collapse and
massive defaults would bring about the biggest economic shock the world
has ever seen. There would be no trade finance, no shipping finance, no
finance for farmers, no leasing, no bond market no nothing. The markets are
at the frankly terrifying point of realising that LT/# 9long term financing
operations), E8!8 9European 8inance !tability 8acility) and UE
9?uantitative easing) etc. are not going to prevent this collapse.M
9$oteB % synopsis of &r. "alKs seminar was the most popular post for 0120,
and all.time, at the widely.read PeroDedge website. /ecommended.)
I do not know if /aoul "al is correct. I donKt know if heKs even close. I can
tell you that he was successful enough as a hedge fund manager to retire to
!painKs Halencia coast at 3J years of age and that heKs one of those guys like
in the old commercialB When he speaks, people listen. I can also tell you that
something is in the air X a sea change in investor psychology of which we
should take note. I pass this along as someone who has e'perienced several
similar shifts in investor sentiment over the course of my decades in the gold
and silver trading business.
/emember the wise old fisherman7 When he knows a storm is coming he
moves his boat to a safer place. &aybe even taking it out of the water all
together. Dow can someone take all their wealth out of the financial water7
*y repudiating unbacked currency and taking delivery of real gold and silver
bullion. While the coming storm will have horrible repercussions for those
who are financially unintelligent, it will be great news for monetary precious
metal investors. )old and silver are the only two currencies that can not be
printed out of thin air. Well they can be in the form of paper promises and
this is why the ratio of paper promises to actual available ounces of bullion
is getting larger. %nd if you have taken delivery of real bullion then the ratio
is even bigger because there is less available bullion in the banking system
then there is no counter party risk and it is bringing an end sooner to the
global financial crisis caused by the monetary cycle repeating ,ust as it
always has done.
The *ank of England is allowed to print 9or type in) say F1billion units of
unbacked currency out of thin air on a regular basis, but if you or I were to
go into where they print these currency notes after the staff have gone home
and turned off the lights.
If you could use their printing presses and print those notes that they were
,ust printing but these identical notes would be considered counterfeit when
the identical notes these same printers were ,ust printing before were
considered real currency notes7 This is why in a way I like new unbacked
currencies like World of warcraft currency or *itcoin because it gets people
thinking about what is money then7 (an anyone create money7 The answer
is anyone can create currency but the hard part is convincing people to have
confidence in it, because its all a con game. "eople ask ?uestions about
bitcoin etc like can you buy it with real money7 #r can you buy real money
with it7 Then if they are a thinking person they start to ask ?uestions like
well what is real money7 Dang on the only difference between World of
Warcraft currency units or *itcoin or -! Aollars or "ounds or Euros or =en
or any unbacked currency is . confidence. Its a con game. Its been a con
game ever since 2:>2 when this 4temporary new international monetary
system4 9$i'ons e'act words) was brought in. De said it would be
temporary and here we are over G1yrs later this con game is nearing its end.
Distory always repeats itself in the monetary cycle. When a civilisation
debases and e'pands its unbacked currency supply, all that currency will
once again come chasing that same tiny pile of monetary precious metals,
and gold and silver will revalue themselves, depending on the amount of
units that have been added to the supply. *ut this time it is the entire world
and the worlds currency supply is now in the many ?uadrillions of units and
still e'panding. It will happen to the entire world this time ,ust as it has
happened to every civilisation in history who has tried e'panding their
currency supply e'ponentially. Those who recognise this and move their
financial boat to the safety of monetary "&s stand to be very well protected
and come out the other side far more wealthy.
The Temporary !ystems /eplacement could be here soon6 The temporary

fateful day other than the word of governments thats proven frivolous at
best and incompetent at worst.
The -nited !tates has racked up so much debt, its practically unpayable.
Weve reached the point where, even if the government doesnt default
outright, its still lost credibility and there are no other options but to default
in one way or another. $o one believes in the -nited !tates anymore. %nd
can you blame them7
Its only a matter of time before their currency is shunned. The temporary
system from >2 is doomed, thats a fact.
The ?uestion now isB What replaces it7 !pecial Arawing /ights7
!ome e'perts X notably those from (hina, -!%s largest creditor X have
suggested global monetary authorities adopt the !pecial Arawing /ight
9!A/) as the new world reserve currency.
The !A/ was created by the I&8 in 2:J: to support the *retton Woods
fi'ed e'change rate system. Its value is based on a basket of four key
international currencies, and it can be e'changed for freely usable
currencies.
8or a long time, its only function was to facilitate global trade.
Dowever, back in 011:, the governor of the "eoples *ank of (hina, (hinas
central bank, nominated the !A/ as a replacement for the dollar.
*asically, (hina is beginning to reali5e that the -nited !tates is more
interested in inflating its debt away than it is in actually paying it off...
With each passing year, the trillion.plus dollars (hina holds are worth less
and less. Its being debased. %nd worse, the -nited !tates has twice teetered
on the brink of default, as (ongress held the debt ceiling hostage.
The I&8 understands this as a threat to the global financial system, and in
0121 it released a report on the sub,ect.
In the report, the I&8 basically agreed that while there would be some
4technical hurdles,4 an increased role for the !A/s could help correct global
imbalances and shore up the global financial system.
In addition to serving as a reserve currency, the I&8 proposed creating !A/.
denominated bonds, which could reduce central banks dependence on -.!.
Treasuries. The 8und also suggested that commodities, like oil and gold,
could be priced using !A/s as opposed to -.!. dollars.
8inally, the I&8 is also seeking to include (hinas currency, the renminbi, in
the !A/ basket X which may be what it really wanted after all. Whatever
happens this instability will be good for bringing an end sooner to the silver
manipulation. *ut remember any unbacked currency replacing the system
from >2 is still ,ust currency and will also be temporary.
The /enminbi
&ake no mistakeR (hina is out to kill the dollar. &ore than that, the &iddle
;ingdom seeks to position its currency as the heir apparent. Indeed, (hina is
the number one e'porter on the globe X and soon it will have the worlds
largest economy, as well.
The (hinese would like to see global currency usage reflect this shift in
global economic power, and so they are aggressively taking steps to
internationali5e the renminbi or the yuan.
The main way (hina is doing this is through currency swaps. (urrency
swaps allow countries to use their native currencies in trade, rather than first
converting to dollars.
This is an effective way to erode the dollars prominence, as it means
countries no long need to store dollars to trade.
#ver the past few years, (hina has signed nearly two trillion yuan worth of
currency swap deals with 01 countries and regions.
%s recently as #ctober 9while -ncle !am was busy playing games with the
debt ceiling), the "*#( and E(* opened up a three.year swap line worth
3F1 billion yuan 9+F> billion) when (hinese currency is provided to the
E(*, and GF billion euros 9+J2 billion) when money is given to the "*#(.
%ll around the world countries are shunning the dollar in by.lateral trade
agreements.
Its a slow process, but the strategy is succeeding.
Earlier this year, a survey from the *ank for International !ettlements
showed the renminbi entered the list of top 21 most.traded currencies for the
first time.
%nd earlier this month, a report from financial.services firm !WI8T
revealed that the renminbi had overtaken the euro as the second most used
currency in global trade finance. Its share has leapt from a mere 2.E:< in
Canuary 0120 to a respectable E.JJ< in #ctober 0123.
$o doubt, theres still much work to be done. The value of the yuan is still
heavily influenced by the government, and its not permitted to trade freely.
%t some point, (hina will have to clear these restrictions and give more
power to the market in determining the value and flow of its currency.
!till, its making noteworthy progress. %nd if 9when) the dollar collapses,
(hina will look to fill the void with the renminbi. *ut its still the temporary
system from >2. -nless (hina decides to back its currency with monetary
gold and silver, then the monetary cycle will have repeated full circle. The
world would be using money again not currency.
% -niversal Aigital (urrency7 If not from (hina then somewhere else7 This
is the most probable option in my opinion. If its from (hina or somewhere
else I think its ,ust the same monetary cycle repeating. Like it always has
repeated.
Its entirely probable an overhaul of the global financial system would give
rise to a new currency, one that isnt tied to any one specific country. That is,
if or when the dollar goes down, the international community wont be eager
to make another fiat sovereign currency its replacement...
Itd look for something more stable, more predictable. It would have to be
backed by gold or silver, this is the natural monetary cycle repeating but this
time it would be also digital, something befitting the modern era.
Weve talked about so.called 4cryptocurrencies.4 *ut unbacked cryptos can
be created in a couple of days by anyone with a "(. There is no limit to how
many unbacked cryptos like bitcoin can be added to the worlds supply. If
they are unbacked they will always go to their intrinsic value of nothing.
%s soon as a monetary precious metal backed crypto currency with all the
advantages of unbacked cryptos is released without the disadvantages that it
cant go to nothing like all unbacked currencies always do, this backed
crypto will be the way of choice to transact for the world. It would be
possible to transact either digitally like bitcoin or by physically handing over
grams of the monetary precious metal, either gold or silver. =ou would also
need to be able to withdraw digital grams for real grams, or deposit them so
that you can digitally pay for things online.
&y prediction on Can 2st 012G is that this will be what seriously replaces all
the unbacked currencies of the world. *ut competition in currencies is a
good thing and let the free market work out if people want to put their trust
and confidence in unbacked or backed forms of monetary systems. The
answer is of course easy. %s to when that is harder, I do not pretend to know
when ,ust that the same monetary cycle going from money 9gold and silver)
to currency 9anything else used to transact) and then back again will
continue to repeat, as it always has done.
In this chapter I have talked about the coming economic storm I believe it
will be the perfect storm and we are now at a point where there is nothing
that can be done to stop it. It is ,ust like the film the perfect storm with &ark
Walberg and )eorge (looney. There is a weather man looking at satellite
reports of the coming storms and he says 4what if this and this were to
happen and these weather fronts collide all at the same time all converging
together7 It would be . the perfect storm64 I believe all the problems from
e'panding the worlds currency supply e'ponentially will lead to the perfect
economic storm sometime this ne't decade.
Events are now forming this decade that once fully converged, will result in
?uick and devastating economic destruction. The effects may not be as
breathtakingly awesome as natures destruction, but the destruction will be
real nonetheless. /emember !ilver, ne't to oil, is the single most important
commodity and strategic resource on the planet.
The Worlds financial system is a mess. It has been a mess for a very, very
long time but theyve been able to put 4Lipstick on the "ig4 and delay the
gory end.
*ut cracks are forming all throughout the world as we approach the end of
the temporary system started in 2:>2 ...4Lipstick4 can only go so far before
it starts to smear B)

Ted *utler says on C.".&organ and silverB
4&y allegations in silver are incredibly specific. I believe that C"&organ, by
virtue of a massive concentrated short position in (#&ET silver futures, is
manipulating the price of silver lower than it would be otherwise. If
C"&organKs concentrated naked short position did not e'ist, the price of
silver would be substantially higher. It does not matter if the bank is hedging
or engaged in market.makingR the mere e'istence of such an unprecedented
large and concentrated naked short position proves manipulation. ThatKs a
key feature of commodity law and is why the (8T( monitors concentration
closely.
The (8T( and other regulators around the world are in on the game. There
is a revolving door with the regulators and those who they are regulating. !o
they are really regulating themselves and can get away with it. The markets
are rigged, the best option is take your boat out of the water and take
delivery of silver bullion now before the manipulation is over.4 Ted *utler is
the earlist first real hero fighting for the truth in the modern age for silver, its
well worth listening to him.
The truth is if its not in your hand you dont actually own it. (rypto, bonds,
stocks@shares even bank account balances are vulnerable to the slightest
tremors of the banking and financial systems.
%s the people in )reece found out or the depositors of &8 )lobal who had
their private accounts raided. #r the people who had funds in (yprus taken
out of their accounts, it could happen in an instant. "olish pensions getting
raided after some have paid into them for decades. % trend that will continue
around the world. That digital cards and account do not work, depositors can
not access their balances. ;eeping your funds in banks or the financial
system is return free risk. There may be long term repeats of times when
stock brokers cannot buy or sell a single share for their an'ious clients. This
could be true for crypto currency e'changes as everyone wants to sell or
spend but the systems are down. When@if they do reopen there will be no
guarantee that anyones holdings will be fairly credited. #r in the the case of
total collapse will there be any way for compensation for loses even if there
ever were any surviving records and who would oversee in the case of
decentrali5ed unbacked crypto systems7 If the currencies go to nothing how
could the loses be compensated for7 Think about it.
Theres simply no way out of the cycle repeating. -ntil faith and confidence
is lost in unbacked fiat or crypto currencies and the temporary international
system is replaced with gold and silver backed systems as the worlds
dominant monetary system.
It may not be a dramatic event at all. The potential e'ists for the collapse to
happen slowly in such a slow motion that it will be imperceptible, not only
to the average person, but to many avid market observers who will be
distracted by watching closely for a dramatic occurrence. %s the rug is
incrementally and therefore imperceptibly pulled out from under them.
It happened in the -; in the J1s and recently in !wit5erland. Aepositors
woke up one morning to find that the central bank had devalued the currency
and any assets valued in that currency now had a fraction of the purchasing
power that they had the day before.
The sheep led to the slaughter who for whatever reason cant wake up to the
truth, will see hard times. Those who position themselves to take advantage
of this monumental trend as the monetary cycle repeats will sleep well at
night. We are now coming into the part of the cycle where faith is lost in
currency and the return to using monetary "&s as money and those who
take advantage will prosper.
%ll cycles and trends have winners and losers. This is the grand.daddy of all
trends and cycles and several billion people will not know what hit them.
*ut the few who took an interest in the world history and the monetary cycle
repeating around them and how it works and who prepared for the big
changes coming the way this book suggests will ride the wave of fortune.
We will see mass wealth transfer that &ike &aloney termed the greatest
wealth transfer in history from the virtual 9paper@digital) domain to the real
9resource@tangible) domain. Donest money is coming back as the cycle
repeats, are you prepared for the cycle to repeat as it always has7
(hina
!ilver to the (hinese mind is money. %s it should be to the rest of the world.
!ilver is at all times money in and of itself.
8or a better understanding of the (hinese silver picture you have to know a
little background of the role of silver in (hina. The facts are as follows.
(hina has been on a silver standard ,ust as the rest of the world since time
immemorial. (hina stayed on the silver standard after other trading nations
of the world demonetised and demonised silver and embraced the gold
standard at the end of the 2:th century with the crime of 2E>3. 9%ma5ing :E
years later we had the crime of 2:>2.) #ther countries apart from (hina have
demonised silver calling it the devils metal. They know the truth that silver
is the %chilles heel of the present temporary monetary system the world has
been on since 2:>2.
(hina is the only country in the world that has consistently run trade
surpluses since 2:F1. %s far as it is known, silver never figured in (hinas
e'ports 9e'cept re.e'porting foreign.owned refined silver.) Why should the
(hinese e'port silver, when they could e'port almost anything else7 !ilver
to the (hinese mind is money. =ou dont e'port money unless you are forced
to cover your trade deficit, of which (hina has none. (hina has always paid
for its imports with e'ports, a smart thing to do, too.
(hina know the truth, which is why they are buying silver and gold hand
over fist while the prices remain so low due to the manipulation.
The (hinese are not stupid. They looked askance at the silver and gold
demonetisation farce perpetrated on a gullible world by Western
governments. They are not falling for this cheap trick. They hang on to their
silver. They make the most of the stupidity of their adversaries. $or are they
in a hurry to push the silver price to three or four digits in order to sell their
silver for a ?uick profit in irredeemable dollars 9which is what the get.rich.
?uick crowd plans to do). /ather, it is in their interest to continue to
accumulate as much as possible, buying every year. $ever selling for fiat
currency. Why should they trade their silver for dollars or any other
unbacked currency, when they have far more dollars already than they want7
8rom the point of view of the (hinese, a slow rise in the silver price 9and a
gradual rather than an abrupt depreciation of the irredeemable paper dollar)
appears more desirable than an overnight ,ump in the silver price to three or
four digits that would put an end to the temporary monetary system started
in 2:>2. They certainly have the clout to dictate the pace of silver price
appreciation, and probably also of paper dollar depreciation. They want to
get out of as much paper as possible slowly without killing off the temporary
system before they have got out of as much paper as possible so they do not
lose too much when it finally comes to an end. *ut one thing is clear the
(hinese are buying as much monetary "& as they can get their hands on.
The (hinese are inscrutable. They dont show you their blueprint for the new
international monetary system which they plan to impose on the world after
the inglorious end of the paper dollar era. It may be a born.again silver
standard. The (hinese are using their cash silver and the silver income
derived from covered writing as a hedge for their e'posure to irredeemable
paper dollars to the tune of +2.3 trillion, by far the largest accumulation of
dollars the world has ever seen. What they will lose on their paper portfolio
they will gain on their cash silver position. They will probably gain much
more. *ut the more paper they get out of and the more silver bullion they
accumulate the higher the gains will be when the system comes to an end.
While the finance.capital of the world denominated as it is in paper dollars is
programmed to self.destruct, the (hinese will control much of the li?uid
capital in the world after the dollar.debacle. They will be a great source of
capital e'ports, if you can pay their price, that is.
It is a farce to blame the present financial crisis on la' lending standards and
rogue traders. What we see is the return of the chickens to roost. This crisis
has been in the making for over G1 years since >2, involving the so.called
demonetisation of both monetary metals. The move was inspired and led by
the -nited !tates. In particular, the so.called demonetisation of gold and
silver was designed to camouflage the default of the -.!. Treasury on its
gold.obligations. The industrial nations of the West did not even say ouch
when %mericas default caused them losses measured in hundreds of billions
on their holdings of dollars in 2:>2. They became accomplices eager to start
milking their own savers and producers by ,oining the paper.money farce.
The day of reckoning dawns.
I have long followed !teven Leeb who specialises in amongst other things
data about (hina and their consumption of materials and energy and how
much they are e'pected to consume over the ne't decade.
De says he cant find anything he likes more than silver as an investment
right now. De lays out a concise reasoning why silver will be over +211 in
the ne't few years then revalue to its long term norm about a tenth o5 valued
at a 20hr days wage.
!teven Leeb who is an e'cellent author and e'pert on &onetary history and
(hinas role in the perfect economic storm soon to be upon us says LThis
plunging dollar and rising interest rates will be taking place as the dollar
loses its status as the worldKs reserve currency. $o one can get away with
the kind of money printing and the kind of debt we 9the -!%) have. "eople
have to remember that a lot of our debt is owned by others.
Capan can get away with a great deal of monetary stimulation because their
debt is owned by the Capanese. $o one outside of Capan really has any
Capanese debt. *ut everyone outside of %merica has %merican debt, and we
,ust keep funnelling money out there.
If the -! dollar is not the reserve currency, the -! will be in big trouble.
The -.!. currency has collapsed by ::< over the last 211 years. #f course
many other currencies have come down by that amount, but it is important to
note that a country cannot maintain its reserve currency status if its currency
goes down by ::<. This is why I say that the -.!. dollar is living on
borrowed time.
If or more likely WDE$ the =uan takes over as the worlds reserve currency
and backs their currency with gold and silver it will be lights out for the
dollar. =ou will see a panic out of the dollar as that comes to fruition. !o
there is this desperation by the -! to keep gold and silver from rallying, and
to keep gold from ?ualifying as anything that has to do with a basket of
currencies.
The -!% may be successful at this for a little while longer. I mean the
(hinese will play along for a little while longer because they want to buy
gold and silver as cheap as they possibly can. The (hinese can e'ercise
patience here, itKs to their advantage. *ut eventually this situation is going
to e'plode, and when it does you are going to see the bull market in gold and
silver really begin.
Take a look at gold vs currency reserves. )old remains at 2.F< of currency
reserves. That hasnt really changed much this century. )old has yet to
become a more meaningful part of reserves. That is still to come. When
you start to see the price of gold soaring to the upside, this is when gold will
soar as a percentage of currency reserves. It will be very difficult for
investors to get on board as gold is accelerating during that phase.
The (hinese and other countries are competing now to accumulate gold on
price drops. This is why gold remains firm, even in the face of the entire
mainstream media trumpeting the end of the gold and silver bull market. If
you want to be really wealthy and successful in this world going forward,
follow the (hinese. They are buying gold and silver in a very, very
controlled fashion. When they have enough, they will let the price go wild.
#f course the West will be left holding the bag when this process is all over.
Q!o as to why are gold and silver not soaring7 Why are they not at +0,111 or
+31117K ItKs inevitable that gold and silver are going to those levels. ItKs not
a ?uestion of whether they get there, but when they get there. &y theory
right now, and I know this sounds like a conspiracy, but itKs really in none of
the players interests to let gold go soaring. $ot the West or the Eastern
superpowers. &y sources tell me that the (hinese still have another 21,111
tons of both gold and silver they want to accumulate before they let the price
go. !o they donKt want to buy it at +0,111 or +3111, they want the prices of
the monetary precious metals to stay low so they can accumulate the bullion.
!o gold and silver are king right now. ItKs ,ust that the king is waiting
behind the curtain. The curtain is going to be drawn at some point, and
when itKs drawn people are going to see a move unlike anything they have
seen in their lives.
In the long.term, if investors want to buy a monetary precious metal, I would
buy silver because silver has more upside coming. We are seeing increased
demand for solar, massive money printing, and this means huge upside for
silver. *ut for patient investors, they should know that in the future instead
of gold and silver trading in the +2,111 area, gold and silver will be trading
at +21,111. There is going to be a spectacular rise in gold and silver we are
getting closer to that big move as the (hinese begin to accumulate another
21,111 tons of gold and silver.M
Leeb continues LWe are seeing massive demand for photovoltaic out of both
Capan and (hina. We are also continuing to see massive demand for silver
in the &iddle.East for this type of energy infrastructure as well. Everyone
needs to understand that the demand for silver is literally set to e'plode
because of the enormous increases in demand for physical silver because of
photovoltaic....
LWhile all of this is happening, the mainstream media is saying that (hina is
about ready to fall apart. *ut the reality is that (hina plans to urbanise a
remarkable 011 million people over the ne't 21 to 2F years. Well, the cost is
roughly +F1,111 per person. !o (hina is going to be spending a massive
amount of money for materials .. copper, lead, 5inc and especially silver.
!ome of the cities in (hina are the most poluted in the world. They really
want to go over to renewable energy to clean up the air ?uality. %s (hina
soon overtakes the rest of the world as the largest ecconomy it will do
whatever it takes to install cleaner renewable energy which re?uires a lot of
silver.
/ight now, (hina has again raised their target for solar power. This is an
incredibly important event for the silver market. That means more silver
demand. They have ,ust raised their target to more than 3F gigawatts by
012F, up from the current level of > gigawatts. (hinaKs previous target was
02 gigawatts by 012F, so thatKs a stunning increase of J>< above their
previous target. &oreover, if one looks at the rate at which it keeps raising
the target, we may well see even more solar capacity by 012FXand ?uite
possibly two times or even more that by 0101. What will be the price of the
available silver that everyone will be chasing in the year 01017 This is the
year many are looking at to see the end of the silver manipulation because of
shortages of available silver.
The first large.scale, commercially.financed and .commissioned solar power
plant in the "hilippines was turned on by "resident *enigno %?uino III in
$egros #ccidental amid a tight power supply situation that continues to
plague the country. $uclear power is both more costly in currency terms and
costs the earth in every way, so for many countries clean renewable is the
first choice.
%?uino was in !an (arlos (ity where he led a ceremonial switch.on of the
00.megawatt 9&W), +GF.million !an (arlos !olar Energy Inc. 9!%(%!#L).
#nly the 23 &W first phase of the pro,ect. The second phase of the pro,ect,
"hase 2*, consists of a :.&W facility. #nce complete, !an (arlos !olar is
e'pected to supply 3F.million kilowatt hour of energy to the Hisayas grid
and to cover mainly the power needs of $egros #ccidental, $egros #riental,
(ebu, and Iloilo.
In his speech, %?uino said the Hisayas grid will benefit from the 00.&W
additional input from !%(%!#L, noting that, as a renewable energy pro,ect,
the power plant is also e'pected to displace the e?uivalent of 2G,E1F tons of
carbon emissions per year.
In years to come all countries will have to raise targets for solar power.
While silver is so cheap solar is still so cheap.
%ll of this is going to re?uire more physical silver than is available in the
world. There is an old saying whoever owns the gold makes the rules. *ut
gold is not really useful for anything unlike silver. %s the world has an
energy crisis in the near future, the new saying for the 02st century should
be Whoever holds the !ILHE/ will make the rules6 "hotovoltaic already
consumes 21< of the entire silver market, and we will see an enormous
surge in that number over the ne't five to ten years. !o there is going to be
tremendous upward pressure on silver prices going forward because of
(hinaKs need to build out solar capacity.
(hina is saying their target is 3F gigawatts, but I think they will be closer to
GF to F1 gigawatts of solar capacity by 012F. %nd this will have to keep
going up in years to come. If you look at the rate at which they keep raising
the 012F target, who knows, they may have 211Z gigawatts of solar capacity
by the year 0101.
I am telling you that is going to re?uire a lot of silver. There is simply not
enough silver in the world to accommodate the demand for photovoltaic
going forward. %s I mentioned, photovoltaic is already using 21< of the
worldKs silver supply, well, look at what (hina has ,ust announced and all of
this means you are going to literally see an e'plosion in the price of silver in
coming years.
If we look at Capan post.8ukushima, Capan is going to be in the market for
solar in a big way in the future as well. %ll of this means more and more
demand for physical silver. The message here for investors is not that silver
will go from +01 to +F1, but instead that silver will trade in the hundred
thousands of dollars an ounce in a matter of years.
%s the world really begins to look seriously at the energy problems we face
going forward, governments will start to realise the strategic importance of
silver. !ilver is a better buy than gold. !ilver is going to play a vital role in
producing energy around the globe. Capan is turning to solar. !audi %rabia
is turning to solar. Hirtually every ma,or country in the world is turning to
solar. There is not going to be enough silver to satisfy the demand for solar
energy.
!ilver has not broken +F1 yet, but when I say silver is going to be a several.
digit commodity, it will be. Then to infinity measured in units of fiat
unbacked currency. What really worries me about silver, &ilton 8riedman
said silver was the first monetary metal.
!ilver will benefit from the monetary catastrophe that is in front of us
because it is a monetary metal. *ut silver is also needed for cell phones,
energy, computers, automobiles and so on.
% !tanford professor, &ark Cacobson, wrote a cover story in !cientific
%merican in late 011:. De said that in order for the world to meet its power
re?uirements for the ne't decade, we are going to need four or five terawatts
of electricity. The amount of silver that would be needed for that is more
than e'ists in the ground.
!o in the future when silver is well above +211 an ounce, you are likely to
see governments saying to people, Q=ou canKt buy silver anymore.K The
price of silver will be going ballistic, but the mines will continue to produce
because the governments will continue to need every ounce of silver they
can get.
The bottom line is we are looking at the beginning of whatKs likely to be a
massive boom in these monetary metals, but silver, in particular, is really
going to soar.M
*ut the most important way (hina is consuming the last of the silver is in
the area of energy infrastructure. ItKs tough to run the world without energy.
(hina has been working on and planning their energy needs for decades.
*etween 0122 and 012F (hina will add as much to their electric grid as the
current si5e of the entire electric grid in the -nited !tates. WhatKs ama5ing
is this is ,ust the start, over the ne't decade they will be adding to their
electric grid many times more as they want the millions who now live in
poverty to move to cities and live a consumer lifestyle.
#n a per capita basis, clearly by the end of this decade (hina will have F
times as much transmission wire than the -nited !tates has. (hina has also
been criti?ued because they are using up so much of the worlds resources.
Well, they are only ,ust catching up with the West they have been behind us
in smart grid development, but now they are consuming a lot of copper and
silver to overtake the rest of the world. (hina has the fastest connectors ..
high voltage cables .. that connect one part of their grid to the other.
#ne reason you need a Qsmart gridK is that you have to be able to integrate all
sorts of renewable energy, from wind to solar to hydro electric. %ll these
need lots of silver and copper. Especially solar, thatKs consuming the last of
the the silver, and I think the price of silver is ,ust remarkably cheap. F.21
years from now silver will be trading in big numbers whatever monetary
system replaces the current temporary one. !ilver is not only essential as a
monetary metal, but itKs also essential for solar voltaics, which is very, very
strong in (hina.
I have no other e'planation for why silver is as cheap as it is, other than to
say it should not be. #f course we know why it has to be manipulated so
low to keep the temporary system going a little longer. AonKt ask why
silver is cheap, ,ust buy it, and if it gets cheaper, buy more. Aespite all of
the propaganda regarding fracking, the West is not going to be energy
independent. ThatKs going to leave us begging for energy from somewhere.
*ut (hina will have all of the energy they need. (hina also has a very
strong pact with /ussia. $ot only does /ussia have energy, but /ussia is
also a gateway to (hina for countries such as )ermany because of /ussiaKs
control of the rail lines.
*ut coming back to (hina, if you look at what they are doing, they are
ordering these municipalities to sell off some of these state.owned
enterprises, which are currently very inefficient. This will raise capital.
$ow, the sale of these state.owned enterprises will dwarf any debt that
people are claiming puts (hina on the verge of some sort of collapse.
!o the sale of these assets will not only solve any balance sheet problems for
(hina, but by selling them to private enterprises it will make these assets
much more productive. ItKs true that (hina is considered much less
productive than the -nited !tates is today. *ut by selling off these assets,
(hina will greatly enhance its productivity of what will then be privately run
and e'tremely efficient enterprises.
%s far as (hinaKs monetary system goes, they are going about as fast as they
can at making their monetary system transparent. (hina will be introducing
a new currency, first for %sia and then for the world. *elieve me, that
currency will include monetary precious metals. It may also include the
ruble and the mark as a combined currency.
&eanwhile, the -.!. is fracking and saying, QWhy worry7 We dont need
infrastructure.K %gain, this is the mindset, even though we dont have
anywhere near the infrastructure we need to be energy independent. Where
will the energy come from7 The world hates nuclear and fossil fuel, and
rightly so.
This arrogance on the part of the -nited !tates is why you need to protect
yourself against the collapse of the dollar. I dont know of any way for
investors to do this other than to buy physical silver.
*ut the bottom line is no one is going to believe the price of silver F.21
years from now. $o one is going to believe they could have bought this
metal for under +01 when it is trading well over +211. Then whatever new
monetary system replaces the soon to be ended temporary one, when silver
revalues to its true historical long term norm of a tenth of an ounce worth a
20hr days wage.
Inner Workings of the !olar Industry
The backbone of the solar industry is photovoltaic 9"H) technology, which is
used to generate electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct.
current electricity through the use of semiconductors. %s you probably
know, a typical photovoltaic solar panel uses a fair amount of silverX
roughly two.thirds of an ounce 901 grams), or about the same amount as E1
cellphones or 01 laptops. !o a substantial amount of metal goes toward
producing these technological wonders.
The photovoltaic industry didnt even start to show up on silver.demand
charts until the year 0111, when it consumed roughly 2 million ounces of the
metal. This was a minuscule slice of the demand pie, and its fair to say that
few investors saw this tiny use for silver becoming an important driver
anytime soon.
*ut that had changed by 011E, when the solar industry consumed nearly 2:
million ounces of silver. !ince 0111, the amount of silver used by solar.
panel makers has risen by an average of nearly F1< per year, with demand
e'ceeding G> million ounces in 0120. "H consumption now represents F.J<
of all industrial use of silver.
In addition to (hina, India plans to increase its solar output to 01 )W by
0101, starting essentially from scratch. #n a worldwide basis, solar power
generating capacity is pro,ected to be 01 to G1 times the amount of current
capacity by 0101.
%ll this e'tra capacity could have a significant impact on the silver market.
%ccording to the !ilver Institute, appro'imately E1 tonnes of silver are
re?uired to generate one )W of electricity. With F.3 )W of new capacity in
Capan alone in 0123 and 31 )W from (hina, a staggering 0,E0G tonnes, or
roughly :2 million ounces of silver, will be re?uired over the ne't three
years for ,ust this industry in these two countries alone. This amount is
nearly two times current worldwide demand from the "H industry. Aemand
from (hina and Capan alone could consume up to 22< of global mine
supply. This does not include India or the middle East or the rest of the
worlds solar demands. %nd thats if the world continues to produce as much
silver as it did last year, a ?uestionable assumption given currently lower
silver prices and increasing difficulties getting mines permitted.
The action to take is rather obviousB buy silver now.
/esource scarcity
The %ynak copper field, as its known, contains the e?uivalent of more than a
third of chinas entire copper reserves. When full scale operations begin
012F it will be one of the largest ever foreign investment pro,ects in the
history of %fghanistan. % poor country to begin with, after hundreds if not
thousands of years at war %fghanistan always seems to be at war if not with
someone else then internally. They have virtually no infrastructure in place
to speak of. 8or the (hinese, this means starting entirely from scratch.
Why are they taking such a risk in such an unstable part of the world7
*ecause (hina is going to need every last known pound of copper that has
yet to be mined from the Earth %$A % L#T &#/E. If the country of (hina
is to succeed in its efforts for the wide.scale development of alternative
energy.
(oppers growing scarcity virtually guarantees that its price will vault into
the stratosphere. crimping our ability to build homes, windmills, high
voltage cables and hybrid cars. Without cheap copper our entire economy
and way of life will be turned upside down.
The first two elements that are thought to run out from natural resources are
silver then copper. %s I have said many times in this book the estimated
number of years until the last of the silver is mined is around 2>. (opper is
said to be 31 years left in known about reserves.
The (hinese. by their actions in %fghanistan, by their hoarding of every
scrap of copper. clearly grasp not only the metals importance but unlike the
West are keenly aware of its growing scarcity.
%t current demand levels and estimates of the worlds current reserves, how
much remains of a particular commodity is very interesting. 8or #il the
answer is G1.F1 years. I personally think it is longer but it will cost a great
deal to get to it. The same can be said of $ickel and other base metals. 8or
copper the answer is 31 years, for silver 2> years. 8or gold its a lot longer
but its hard to work out consumption rate because gold does not really get
consumed like these other metals. Thats why I do not like investing in gold,
there are millions of tons in play and no end in sight to the gold reserves to
be mined.
*ut copper is much scarcer than oil. It should surprise no one then that
copper is now past its peak. "eak silver was passed long ago and there has
been a steady draw down of worldwide inventory to meet demand of which
the entire worlds stockpiles have now been depleted. )old stockpiles are
going up as its nearly all surplus while worldwide silver stockpiles have
been getting depleted to meet the higher demand than supply. %s can be seen
in this chart.
Will the same thing happen to copper to meet demand and kick the can down
the road for someone else to deal with in the future7
The reason the day of reckoning for scarce metals is drawing closer much
faster than anyone imagined as recently as five or si' years ago is, of course,
the need for renewable energy. Without copper, without silver, without many
other metals the building of an economy reliant on renewable energies is
simply impossible.
Energy crisis7 What energy crisis7 &ost people have no idea that the -! and
almost every other country in the world is teetering on the brink of a
blackout. %s the population of the world e'pands e'ponentially . Every new
house or factory built, every single new building re?uiring power is adding
to the problem.
If the governments do not act fast to solve our energy shortfall, we could be
at serious risk of power shortages in ,ust a few years time. *ut after
8ukushima there is a growing hatred of nuclear power and growing hatred
after all the other natural disasters being blamed on fossil fuel and other non
clean non renewable energy sources damaging the Earth.
The world needs to turn to clean renewable energy %!%". !olar, wind and
hydro electric generation or one of the other clean renewable energy
production ideas, but the three main ones are known to work they ,ust need
to be implemented large scale around the Earth. The price of copper and
silver would skyrocket ending the manipulation and therefore the temporary
international monetary system from >2. *ut it is inevitable that the
temporary system from >2 will end. The world needs to turn to clean
renewable energy and turn its back on harmful nuclear and fossil fuels.
=eb !ano is director of the 8ilipino delegation to a conference about climate
change. In an emotional appeal before negotiators from more than 2:1
countries on &onday 922.22.0123), he declared LItKs time to stop this
madnessM and that he would fast . in solidarity with his compatriots, his
brother among them, who have had almost nothing to eat for days. De
intends to maintain his fast until a 4meaningful4 agreement has been reached
at the conference.
It remains unclear whether Typhoon Daiyan really was caused by climate
change. *ut no one would disagree that the climate is changing, and more
e'treme e'amples of this are happening more fre?uently. 4!cientists cannot
say for certain whether individual weather phenomena happen as a result of
climate change or not,4 says !ano. 4*ut they can say that the warming of the
oceans leads to more rainfall, which in turn causes heavier storms.4 These
brave men continued their fast gaining front page news all around the world
increasing hatred of fossil fuels and spreading the need for renewable
energy.
The super Typhoon Daiyan broke all known records for wind speed. With
continuous wind speeds of over 011&"D and gusting upto 0E1&"D there is
certainly a point to these brave men going on hunger strike. They want an
end to reliance on fossil fuel and move over to renewable clean energy
sources. %ll around the world there are similar hunger strikes and brave
demonstrations to stop nuclear power and put an end to nuclear waste being
dumped into our mother Earth.
The world needs to turn to renewable clean energy and it needs to do it
yesterday.
"ower from the sun alone could provide enough power for the entire world
many times over. %s well as huge solar farms like this....
If all the roofs on all the buildings in the world who wanted to use electricity
had solar panels. Every roof without solar panels is wasted space as the suns
energy hits every single day. Then there is all that energy )od has made
from the wind as high pressure moves to low pressure humans could be
harnessing so much of this clean free energy from wind turbines as much as
was re?uired instead of ruining the Earth with fossil fuel and nuclear power
generation.
Then power from the moon not ,ust at night but all day every day. Dow7
8rom the enormous power generated every 0Ghrs when the moons
gravitational pull is pulling all the seas towards it as it goes round the Earth.
%s the tide comes in and goes out all around the world there is more than
enough power available for every country many times over.
!ea life does not need to be harmed the technology is available now to
harness the power of hydro electric generation without doing any marine life
damage. (ertainly not as much damage to marine life as from the nuclear
industry is still damaging our oceans and our mother Earth. These three
techni?ues together or ,ust one of them on its own could stop humans
ruining the Earth as they are doing with fossil fuel and nuclear power
generation.
(an it really be done7 )o over to only clean renewable for the entire world7
=es it can one e'ample is in London. Work has finished on what is now the
largest solar bridge in the world. *lackfriars *ridge, part of *lackfriars
!tation in London, has been fitted with G,G11 photovoltaic panels, which are
e'pected to reduce the stations (#0 emissions by an estimated F22 tonnes
9FJ3 tons) per year. Work began in spring 011: and the station was
operationally complete in time for the 0120 #lympics, with the solar array
installation complete in &arch 0123. The full refurbishment of the station is
now also complete.
The installation of the solar panels was part of the wider redevelopment of
*lackfriars !tation, which includes a new entrance on the south bank of the
/iver Thames, four new platforms and a improved -nderground station. The
station is a key part of the OJ.F billion 9-!+21.>0 billion) Thameslink
"rogramme, which aims to increase train capacity on one of Europes busiest
stretches of railway running from north to south through central London.
The array of "anasonic 0F1 Wp panels is the largest solar array on a bridge
in the world, covering a total area of J,111 s? m 92:,JEF s? ft). Its ma'imum
output is estimated at 2.2 &Wp 9megawatt peak) and it is e'pected to
generate :11,111 kWh of electricity each year N over half the amount
re?uired to power the station. The panels are fi'ed and south.facing.
The installation of the array was highly comple', as it involved building on a
Hictorian bridge over an operational railway and the /iver Thames. %
number of une'pected issues arose, including significant corrosion on the
arches and re?uired strengthening of the bridge.
4#ur work at *lackfriars demonstrates two key benefits of solar,4 says 8rans
van den Deuvel, (E# of !olarcentury. 48irst, it can be integrated into the
architecture to create a stunning addition to LondonKs skyline. !econd, it can
be integrated into the most comple' of engineering pro,ectsR in this case
being built above a construction site, over a rail track over a river.4
#ffshore wind farming and hydroelectric generation combines the clean,
green, environmentally neutral benefits of land.based wind turbines@water
wheels, while being a lot less visually intrusive ... and makes use of space
previously unused for anything. %long with the fact that you get more power
generated on the sea than on land due to nothing sheltering the wind or water
flow. Its currently a lot more e'pensive to install wind or water turbines out
at sea, though, and thats restricting the sectors development. Which is why
the !eatower (ranefree turbine platform could be such a significant step
forward. (heaper and easier to install, and re?uiring less gargantuan and
speciali5ed e?uipment than standard monopile foundations, the !eatower
base has hydroelectric power generation underwater and the top above water
has the wind turbines and could help offshore wind farms reach profitability
a lot ?uicker.
Wind farms and river water wheels are some of the cheapest, greenest and
most reliable forms of energy generation. #ne modern turbine can now
power more than a thousand homes, and in many areas theyre becoming a
significant part of the energy mi'.
#ffshore wind turbines are even better in a performance sense, and theyre a
lot further out of the way, so fragile petals like conservative Treasurer Coe
Dockey dont have to endure the 4utterly offensive4 sight of clean energy
turbines on their way to work in the morning. !trange how conservative
politicians seem to find very harmful to the earth open.cut coal mines@ oil
refineries, nuclear power plants etc. far less offensive
&ark Cacobson a professor of !tanford -niversity deserves credit for being
ahead of the curve on renewable energies. In the Early 0111s he wrote
among others a seminal article in !cience maga5ine arguing that electricity
generated from solar was cheaper and is still cheaper than all forms of
generating electricity. Wind generation comes a very close second followed
close behind by hydroelectric. Whatever new technology may come that
may be better than solar, wind or hydroelectric, I would bet it re?uires
consuming a lot of silver and copper. anything to do with producing
electricity consumes silver and copper.
Cacobson along with colleagues wrote about a presumed
road map for the entire world to be fossil fuel
and nuclear free by the year 0101. The three sources of
renewable energy that they picked were in order of importance solar, wind
then hydroelectric. While they do not dismiss other energies, he argued that
these three were the cleanest and the most abundant and easily applied.
There are new ways to harness energy from the tides that does no damage to
marine life at all.
Ironically, upon analysis of his work, rather than being a road map to a
renewable future, what he provides is compelling reasons why a world of
renewable energies is no longer possible. There is not enough silver 9and
soon copper also will be running out) left and they are both essential for
these three renewable energy production techni?ues. This is such an
important point to remember TDE/E I! $#T E$#-)D silver left for the
world to activate &ark Cacobsons plan to be fossil fuel and nuclear free by
0101 and once you understand this I hope the reader decides to start saving
silver now and later copper bullion for the long term.
.
;atsutaka Idogawa, former mayor of 8utaba, a town near the disabled
8ukushima nuclear plant, is warning his country that radiation contamination
is far worse than we are told.
This former mayor of a town in 8ukushima is a real hero. #ne voice of truth
among so many liars.
Take home points, he says........ "eople are already dying from radiation.
Easy to predict much greater numbers to come. The world needs to turn its
back on the nuclear industry. The world could provide for all its energy
needs by going over to renewable energy sources.
This is why he is such a hero to the Capanese people, but he has put a target
on his back. I can see him being dead 9from natural causes.yeah right) in no
time.
There is a growing hatred for the nuclear industry and the people want to go
over to renewable energy. *ut this would re?uire a great amount of silver.
This mayor talks about all the rivers and tides for hydro electric, but solar
has dropped in price since 0122 by about as much as silver has dropped ie
less than half price. That fact is so important that silver is an essential
ingredient in the production of the best solar panels. Every roof in the world
of every building that wants to use electricity should have enough solar
panels to provide for its energy needs. Then wind and hydro electric for the
rest of the power needed in the world.
While silver is so cheap the world needs to turn to renewable and turn its
back on nuclear and fossil fuels which are ruining the earth. *ut as Ar
!teven Leeb and Ar &ark Cacobson show its all about silver.
!ilver is at the heart of the financial world but its
also at the heart of the industrial world. The reason
the world does not turn its back on nuclear and go over to clean renewable is
all about the silver shortage and the silver manipulation to keep prolonging
the temporary international monetary system that was started on %ug 2Fth
2:>2.
.
The world is in a power deficit. The population is growing and there is not
enough power to provide for the entire world. %fter 8ukushima there is a
hatred of nuclear power, but there is ,ust not enough silver 9or copper for
that matter) for the world to go over to renewable energy sources.
%fter all the natural disasters of late there is a hatred of fossil fuel providing
power, some are on hunger strike because they believe its the fossil fuels that
is causing all the natural disasters of late.
Look at !teven Leebs work to see how silver will run out in 2>yrs and
copper in about 31. These are essential for alternative energy sources. To
buy silver now and wait for the manipulation to end is not only a shield and
protection for yourself but a silver bullet to those causing the global crisis.
!ilver has to go up a great deal for the sake of the entire world.
Cacobson estimates that the cost of the renewable energy platform by 0101
will be +211Trillion plus +01 trillion transition costs. Lets ,ust stop for a
moment and think at these estimates. %round +201 trillion back in the early
0111s the dollar has been debased a lot since then. (onsider this number in
relation to how much copper is available for mining. %ccording to the -!)!
there are J31 million tons of copper reserves yet to be mined. &eans copper
that is considered to be minable under current economic conditions. %t
current prices the value of all that copper if it were suddenly made available
would be about +F.> Trillion, which is less than F< of the pro,ected cost to
segue from nonrenewable energies over to renewable energies.
Even reserves themselves are becoming more e'pensive to mine. )avin
&udd, an %ustralian engineer wrote in a paper in 011: that copper grades in
general accross the board are in severe decline. Which means it is getting
more e'pensive to mine for copper. &udd then noted 4It is well recognised
that that as ore grades decline energy carbon costs increase, which will feed
back in some manner to (u 9copper) prices4 $ot yet it hasnt but it certainly
will in time. *ecause as energy costs rise so does the cost of mining copper.
%s a result both reserves and resources, which are calculated on todays
energy prices, may be overstated, with resources likely to be overstated by a
great deal. That is because the amount of energy needed to e'tract copper
from ever poorer grades often sharply accelerates. *ottom line that 31 years
of minable copper left could be an overstatement.
$ow lets turn to (hina and its prospective need for copper. %ccording to
technology review the country plans to spend +311 billion on copper for
high vaultage power lines that will be necessary for constructing its new
electric grid. !o ,ust for its electric grid (hina will need almost 21< of the
copper that is left in the ground worldwide. Thats e'clusive of other uses of
copper, such as for their many new cities they are building every year.
Things like housing and transportation. %nd of course electric grids in other
developing countries like India not to mention the large amounts of copper
the rest of the world is chasing after to create their own new smart grids.
%lso consider the amount of energy needed and other resources including
copper itself 9how ironic is that7) necessary to mine new copper. *uilding
machines, building infrastructure as in %fghanistan, feeding families of the
workers and virtually all activities associated with the metals e'traction will
take energy. %nd as we mentioned above as copper gets scarcer the amount
of energy needed to mine it will increase.
Then there is the automotive industry, of which (hina has become the
largest player. /ight now there are about a billion cars plying the worlds
roads. #ne ma,or worldwide goal is transition from internal combustion
engines to hybrid or electric in which batteries play a ma,or role. !uppose
your goal was half a billion hybrids, that may not be unreasonable ,ust for
(hina, which currently only has F1 cars per thousand people and is offering
mahor incentives to buy hybrid cars. What would that mean for copper7
Dybrid cars re?uire about twice as much copper as standard cars because of
the batteries. !ome estimates are that an average hybrid car will re?uire
about a 211Lbs of copper. Cust simple maths will show there will be a need
for about 03 million tons of copper .almost FF of total copper reserves. if
that half a billion hybrid cars target is to be met.
;eep in mind that copper is only one of the several resource issues when it
comes to hybrid@electric cars. There is also the ?uestion of silver which is
needed in all almost areas of the cars. I will get onto silver later in this
chapter. but for now there are new developments in batteries that re?uire a
lot of silver but hold a lot more power and have 5ero discharge rates as do
the current generation of batteries.
The are also new more efficient electric motors under development like the
switched reluctance motor. but even this new motor does not get around the
scarcity of copper and silver which would both be used e'tensively in the
motors dynamics. These two metals especially silver are absolutely
necessary for modern life and there is not enough available to meet demand
for industry alone the ne't few decades not to mention the monetary demand
as the temporary system from >2 slowly comes to an end.
The year 0101 is often looked to when working out remaining supplies. The
play on words of with 0101 vision we can see which metal the world will
run out of first.
!o a little maths shows some chilling results. !uppose (hinas growth of
copper consumption remains about 22< until 0101R its usage of the metal by
then would be over 2> million tons per year, which would be about E< more
than all the copper produced in 011:6 *efore you say that such a growth
assumption is too high consider again that (hina has only ,ust started to
build out its renewable energy program. Its urbanisation efforts are only
around 31< complete %$A that even greater stockpiles will have been
accumulated for the ten years following 0101. #ur assumptions are that
(hinas alternative energies will only account for about 2J< of total energy
consumption by the end of this decade. &oreover even at :< growth in
copper consumption .more than 01< less than recent growth rates. (hina by
0101 would be consuming almost as much copper as the entire world is
today.
Then there are also comparisons with other countries that have gone through
the development stages. for e'ample Capan at its peak consumption of
copper was consuming about 2G;gs per capita annually. In 011: (hinas per
capita consumption of copper was about G.J;gs. To match Capans per capita
consumption of copper (hina will have to triple. =et renewable alternative
energies were a small part of Capans copper consumption because they
previously relied heavily on nuclear power. %fter 8ukeshima there is going
to be a larger demand for copper per capita all around the world as the hatred
for nuclear power steadily continues to rise.
%lso consider that (hinas 9and the worlds) population will likely grow
e'ponentially in the decades to come. Especially since (hina has rela'ed
their one child policy which has been in place since the >1s. %nd of course
think about the relative si5es of the countries, Capan and (hina. Wiring a
larger country will likely re?uire even more copper per capita. This is a
disadvantage to countries with large land masses and a distinct advantage to
smaller land mass countries like Capan and )reat *ritain.
The bottom line is that tripling of (hinease copper consumption by 0101
would still leave its per capita consumption of copper less than Capan at its
peak.
;eep in mind that the game does not end in 0101. It ends because of
ultimate resource restraints. It is reasonable to predict double digit growth in
(hinas and Indias consumption of both silver and copper not only well into
the ne't decade but well beyond. If you want to go beyond 0101 the results
become even more chilling. 8or e'ample were (hinas copper and silver
consumption to grow at only E.F< 9unlikely to be that low) over the ne't
twenty years then the total amount of copper the country would consume
would amount to about J1< of the worlds reserves. $o matter how you slice
it, (hinas going to build out renewable energies, there is not enough silver
or copper there will be shortages.
$o silver lining.
Like (opper, !ilver is vital for the development of a low carbon economy
run primarily on renewable energies. %nd supplies of silver are likely to fall
short of the worlds needs in a few short years, though hardly anyone is
aware of this fact.
!ilver is regarded as a precious monetary metal, whereas copper is a non.
precious monetary metal. *oth have been used as money for over F111
years. but silver is much more than ,ust money or decorations. It is TDE
industrial metal with the most special properties of any element known to
man. These facts make silver essential in all sorts of applications that have
been looked at in depth in this book. The demands for silver in the growing
solar market have been looked at in depth already but lets not forget the
wind and hydro electric generation industries which also re?uire a lot of
silver in every application.
8uture growth of the three main renewable electric generation technologies
9Wind,!olar,Dydro) is likely to be serverly constrained as silver along with
copper supplies are sharply limited. !ome 00&illion tons of silver are mined
each year while about G21&illion tons are considered to be economically
viable reserves. This makes silver the worlds most economically scarce
metals, with copper coming in as the second.
!ilver output is largely derived as a by.product of mining other metals. Less
than a third of the metals mined each year comes from primary silver mines
because most of them have already been depleted. Interestingly despite sharp
demand for the other metals increasing that silver is often a by.product of
and sharply rising prices to ,ust under +F1o5 in 0122 TDE !-""L= #8
$EWL= &I$EA !ILHE/ 8%ILEA T# /I!E !I)$I8I(%$TL=. Even at
those higher prices. This tells us two things, firstly there is not that much
silver to be mined and secondly even at higher prices they can not speed up
the depletion rate of the last of the silver.
Industrial uses for silver are growing at an alarming rate. !teven Leeb
predicted consumption for this monetary precious metal from industrial
demand alone will consume about EF< of annual production within ten
years. %t the moment its only F1< and the other F1< being chased after by
investors and ,ewelry demand. !o if industrial demand increases to more
than F1< then other demand has to fall because all the worlds once large
silver stockpiles have now been depleted completely. The problem is
investment demand is growing along with all other demands. Even as the
price is pushed down lower demand is going up and breaking all records.
#ne youtube silverbull called Ar-tter coined this anomaly the Arutter
divergence. The demand keeps going up to the highest the world has ever
seen and the price keeps going down, think about that for a moment6 "ut in

In an unmanipulated market it would be impossible for demand to grow to
all time highs and keep growing while supply and price both keep going
down. either supply or price has to go up to meet demand, the answer to the
anomaly is the supply of paper promises for future delivery is going up even
faster. *uilding up a monster slingshot effect on the price of silver in the
future when the rush out of paper and into stockpiling the physical metal
begins.
%s we move toward and past 0101 its evident dramatically higher
commodity prices and ma,or shortages of copper and especially silver will
be assured. %nd we were only talking about what (hina and India are
planning for the ne't decade. It goes without saying that as we go further
into the future the situation will become worse.very likely catastrophically
worse. Why7
There is a common assumption that if oil prices get too high, we will simply
switch to using electric vehicles. %nother prevalent supposition is that to
combat global warming . solar, wind and hydro electric power will soon
power our cities and factories as we abandon harmful coal@fossil fuel.
burning or radioactive waste producing nuclear power plants. This abiding
faith that something better will come along in a timely matter no less to
replace what we have come to take for granted rests on an important belief
that technology always saves the day. *ut the world will soon learn that this
unswerving conviction is akin to driving along a twisting mountain road on a
rainy night with no lights or wipers to aid us.
(onsider that we have yet to really get started on assembling the
infrastructure needed for the switch from gasoline.powered cars to plug in
hybrids and electric vehicles. There are certainly more charge points
popping up around London and other cities but getting to the point where
that network is properly installed will take time and money. *oth of which
are in short supply. Thats not to say the task is impossible if it were not for
the looming shortages of copper and especially silver. !o suppose we do
eventually get set up with ubi?uitous rapid charging stations at every gas
station and contact.less charging lanes on ma,or roads leading to rapid
uptake of said electric vehicles. The shortages of copper and especially
silver would prevent the essential construction of the infrastructure and the
electric motors and batteries needed. The world does not have enough
copper and not nearly enough silver and for which there are no substitutes.
The bottom line is that copper and mainly silver are indispensable in the
production of solar, wind and hydro.electric power production. Without
silver and copper the idea of moving our electrical production away from
harmful nuclear or fossil fuel over to clean alternative energy from the mere
footnote it is today to a considerable contributor to our worlds power
re?uirements is a mere pipe dream.
What can you do7 Like this book try to raise awareness and at the same time
stack copper and especially silver and try to end the silver price suppression.
This is why I put this chapter here in the book. What has it got to do with
simple balanced self reliance7 $ot only do silver and copper have everything
to do with the worldwide crisis because they are monetary metals and have
been money for thousands of years but also they are essential industrial
metals for our future. They are both artificially cheap right now but they will
not stay this low for much longer.
This is the point I want to make from this chapter, if the start of the book is
to show that silver 9and copper to a lesser e'tent) are money in and of
themselves at all times, then this part is to show how necessary they are for
modern life today. *ut more than that how there is not enough of them left
and silver will be depleted in 2>yrs and copper in about 31.
I want to make the point that there is a hatred of fossil fuels and nuclear
power. Everyone should hate fossil fuel and nuclear power production and
we should all turn our back on ruining the earth and turn to clean renewable
energy %!%".
It is something I believe in very strongly. &y wifes family is in Capan and
because of the nuclear industry damaging the earth over there we choose not
to live there. We hate nuclear as does all of Capan and so should the rest of
the world. I make an effort to support any movement or action to protest
fossil fuel and especially nuclear power.
*uying !ilver and copper 9primarily silver) is something everyone can do
now because they both have thousands of years of history as being used as
money. The more taken off the market the sooner the manipulation will end.
!ome people support all kinds of charities and movements. &y family
supports the silver bullet silver shield movement if you really care about
humans ruining the earth you shoud buy silver every month. End the
manipulation as soon as possible. *e the change you want to se in the world.
%s we get closer to the 2> years before the last of the minable silver is gone
there will be a buying stockpiling fren5y. I would imagine there will also be
a buying fren5y for self reliant renewable energy sources as electricity
becomes very e'pensive and unreliable, which will make the shortages even
worse.
The facts are we live on a finite planet and the population is growing and
demanding resources e'ponentially. !ilver then copper will be the first two
high demand resources to be depleted. They are essential for renewable
energy sources also are money in and of themselves.
If someone is thinking what has this chapter got to do with simple balanced
self reliance7 Well this is the most self reliant way of insurance, saving and
investing outside the financial system. %sk yourself as you read this, could I
stack 1.F;g of silver and 211;g of (opper every year or two until the
temporary system comes to an end7 %t the moment it only costs about O311
for 1.F;g silver or 211;) of copper bullion the way I suggest in the ne't
chapter. (ould you save OJ11 per year O311 in each metal for your
retirement7 Thats only OF1 per month. #r you may decide like I do to save
that OF1month in mostly silver in the dips. &y hope is by following the
suggestions in this book the reader can save if not OJ11 per year in monetary
metals then at the very least 21< of that. Thats only OF per month, as Im
typing this silver is about O21o5 so ,ust a half ounce coin every month, and I
say if someone still says they cant do that then there is something seriously
wrong. Everyone could cut some spending somewhere to sacrifice ,ust OFper
month minimum to stack silver and copper. (ould you start right now
today buying silver bullion and urban mining copper bullion7 The answer is
yes in every single case even if only a little every month, its ,ust up to you to
,ust go and do it. I have heard all the e'cuses before, 4I cant afford it4 or 4I
have to get out of debt first4 some people will still be saying this when the
manipulation ends. "lease remember this, I guarantee you if you dont stack
some silver before the manipulation ends, you will regret it when the
manipulation ends and silver revalues to its true value.

*onus chapter number 2 -rban mining for copper bullion rounds
The yellow metal is the one mainly in the news and the first monetary metal
talked about is usually gold. The white metal silver is less talked about and
is the %chilles heel of the monetary system because there is not that much of
it left available. The banks have run out of their until recently large silver
bullion stockpiles, only the gold is left. *ut does that mean that the 3rd
monetary metal copper is not worth considering7 (opper is not a monetary
precious metal like gold and silver, but it is a monetary metal with thousands
of years of history as money, and its is almost as useful as silver for its
special properties. It is not at all rare or scarce as silver is, nor will there be
shortages in the future ,ust like gold. *ut I think the red metal is better value
than the yellow metal for your hard earned currency units every month. $ot
better than the white monetary metal silver, but I am going to talk about how
to stack copper as well as silver bullion.
In &ike &aloneys video series called the hidden secrets of money which is
free and very highly recommended, he makes some very good points. De
says the best investment you can ever make is in your education. I hope this
book will start you off into e'panding your education into money and
currency. De also says your true wealth can be measured in your time.
Through the monetary cycle that has repeated through history, whoever had
the power to create currency and e'pand the supply is able to take some of
your true wealth your time and effort.
8or e'ample at the time of writing, if I work hard at a good pace in my
cleaning business I earn something around OG1 per hour after e'penses and
deductions like ta' and insurance. I earn about the same per hour in my
teaching and consulting work.
$ow how do you measure OG1 per hour today in the conte't of history7 In
my fathers time when he was young it would have been an average weeks
wage. In my grandfathers time what I earn in an hour was the average cost
of a house in the -;. In a few more years this will probably be min wage or
unskilled workers wages per hour. !o that is the power of inflation and the
currency devaluation the amount those who inflate the currency supply can
take from those who work hard for and use their currency.
!o remember this point about true wealth, it is your time and energy, as we
consider a very interesting sub,ect about urban mining. =ou may not at first
see what it has to do with urban mining, but my hope is that you start to
view money and currency and wealth in a different way to perhaps how you
were brought up to think.
I remind everyone that the copper.silver.gold column of the periodic chart
elements have properties in common. (opper and gold are also antibiotic.
*ut silver is by far the most antibiotic and anti.microbic element that )od
has created, that we know about at any rate. )old, silver and copper are very
similar and have all been used as money for most of the si' thousand years
of known human history, this can not be said of any other metal. These three
monetary metals were used to describe the prophetic dream image in the
book of Aaniel that revealed the various dominant world powers to our day
and beyond.
)old and silver the yellow and white monetary precious metals have been
seen as a symbol of wealth for thousands of years, while copper known as
the red monetary metal is not a monetary precious metal but is a monetary
metal thats so poorly regarded its what we use to make our lowest.value
coins from.
E'cept we dont use it any more. Why7 *ecause the value of copper has
risen so much as currencies are getting devalued it would cost ?uite a bit
more than 2p to make a penny piece from it now. !ince 2::0 the /oyal &int
in the -; has made 2p and 0p pieces of copper.plated steel instead.
The value of copper is now so high that trains are being delayed across
Europe as thieves steal the wires from the ground near train tracks, security
is being beefed up and laws changed to try to prevent more theft. In the -;
copper water pipes are being ripped from walls, school roofs are being
stripped and water tanks stolen as thieves loot easily.accessible copper.
(opper has tripled in price in two years, from ,ust over +3,111 per metric
tonne in 8ebruary 011: to above +21,111 9OJ,111) a tonne in 8ebruary 0122,
,ust like gold and silver . copper will keep going up in value as the
currencies of the world keep getting debased. I will show you a way to stack
this OJ; valued at present time copper ton of copper bullion for O3111. %s
currencies keep going lower a ton of copper bullion will keep going up.
!o in the -; all pre 2::0 2p and 0p coins were copper. Well to be more
precise I should say bron5e because they are ,ust over :>< copper and about
0< other metals which makes them bron5e by strict definition. I refer to
them as copper coins because that is over :>< of their composition. %fter
2::0 they were steel, with the e'ception of 2::E for some reason they were
made out of this monetary metal again, then in :: back to steel and have
been ever since. %ll other -; coins are made out of steel or very low value
non monetary metals.
I love asking in a bank to change a 21 pound note for bags of 2p and 0p
coins. Then with a rare earth magnet my kids and I sort through them, all the
,unk that was minted after :0 9with the e'ception of 2::E) the magnet pulls
out hands fulls at a time leaving all the copper bullion to store away for the
long term then the ,unk coins go back in the bags to be deposited back at the
bank and be changed into notes and larger denominated coins. Then go to
another bank and ask to change these notes and larger denominated coins for
more bags of 0ps to sort through again.
I have been going round many banks near me, at the moment you can easily
ask to change a O21er into coin bags for free. I have tried 01 pounds and they
said I should ring first or make an appointment.
%fter a few trips and talking to a manager my bank told me this .
[I have contacted head branch on your behalf and they have confirmed that
you do not need to make an appointment for this small withdrawal of coins.
If you need to make a larger withdrawal of coins over O01, the branch will
re?uire GE hours notice.\
I would guess as more people cotton on to urban mining more copper will be
pulled out of circulation.
In (anada and %ustralia and other places around the world they have already
taken copper out of the small coins at the end of 0120, I would guess this
trend will continue around the world.
The thing I am finding is that to start with I find between 3F.GF< copper in
the bags and later after a week or so at the same branch it was sometimes as
little as only 21< from the same banks. I wonder if it was because they were
giving me back a lot of the bags I had already mined7 They do not seem to
have that much turn around with 2p and 0ps. %fter a few months trying the
same branches again it was a higher percentage of copper for us to mine out
of circulation.
I have lots of other tips about urban mining. I write about it in my
newsletter. I would like in the future to call these coins copper bullion
rounds, and one day they will buy more than paper money. =es I am certain
that sometime in the future a 0p copper bullion coin will be able to purchase
more than any of the current paper currency notes, including the OF1 note.
Is copper a monetary metal7 I understood that there are G precious metals
)old, !ilver, "latinum and "alladium 9some say /hodium and others are a
"& but Im not so sure) only 0 of them are monetary precious metals gold
and silver. These are the only 0 that have widely been used as money all
over the world for up to J111yrs, while platinum and palladium, 9and
/hodium) have never as far as I know been used as money for any real
length of time. %pparently platinum has been used as money for short times
but not for thousands of years like gold, silver and copper.
*ut copper could be called a monetary metal. $ot monetary precious metal
that title only goes to gold and silver.
(opper and other monetary metals have for the most part been used to
debase monetary precious metals. *ut copper is the ne't most used monetary
metal with a history of being used as money for almost as long a history as
silver and gold. /emember the prophetic dream image from the book of
Aaniel that started with a head of gold then chest and arms of silver and ne't
lower down was copper. *y Cesus time gold, silver and copper were being
used. This tri.metalic system has lasted for thousands of years as the
monetary cycle repeated through history. In the *ible many times when we
get up to Cesus time the scriptures talk about copper pieces of money. Hery
small pieces of )old and silver were used for larger more important
transactions, but copper pieces were used for very small transactions or a lot
of copper pieces were used in place of a small amount of silver. %s I point
out later it was about a >0B2 copper to silver ratio.
*ut at least these monetary metals like copper have intrinsic value even if
not much, still more than paper, and paper has more intrinsic value than
digital units of currency in online accounts, but not much.
I think copper pennies and 0ps are a good form to store wealth and can be
good to help weigh down your safe so no one can take the safe away because
they cant open it. I have now over 211;g of copper in my safe which means
it can not easily be taken away to be opened somewhere else. #r if your safe
is not big enough to store all the bags then bury them, I am talking about
stacking so much a safe will not be big enough, I think bury them in several
stashes and wait for them to revalue. It may be a long wait but remeber you
are right until you win, no matter how long it takes for the temporary system
to end. This is a very safe long term investment. It is entirely outside the
financial system. *ut it could also be inside the system as well, if there is
very big deflation you could spend them back at the bank and buy even more
silver bullion.
Theres no one that you can trust more...than yourself. I agree with the many
monetary metal e'perts that you should store only at home or in hidden
places somewhere in the wild. I lost most of my bullion in a series of
unfortunate camping accidents R) $ever in a safety deposit bo' or anywhere
there is counter party risk. &ight want to buy an accurate )"! for later
retrieval. Even keep the coordinates in code written somewhere safe for
loved ones to find in case you die. %lso, there are tactics for confusing metal
detectors to obfuscate your stash from treasure hunters. *ut modern metal
detectors are getting very good, in the future they may be so good to detect
what someone previously thought was undetectable. !o if you bury some of
your stashes in areas under lots of growth the area can not be metal detected
without clearing the area of all the plant life first. $ot talking about trees
where its possible to metal detect between each tree, but something more
dense. =ou want to plant something fast growing that spreads over the years.
It will not be possible for metal detectors to search there without clearing the
area first, so choose an area where that would be very unlikley that would
ever happen.
Its my opinion that monetary metals will simply do what they are meant to
do, store wealth. It will help get you to the other side of the implosion of the
temporary international monetary system intact. Whatever monetary metals
you are holding if its the yellow, white or red monetary metals they will be
valued at whatever the new currency might be. If you have read this book up
till now you will know how I feel there is far more gold available in the
world than is reported as in millions of tons are already in play. %t the same
time as there has been an effort to make it look like gold is more rare than it
is, there has been an even bigger effort to make it look like a phantom
supply of silver e'ists and that available silver bullion is not as rare as it
actually is. (opper is not at all scarce and there will never be any shortages
to speak of. *ut it still can not be created out of thin air like currencies can.
%s the currency supplies of the world are e'panded more and more faith is
being eroded in these units of currencies which are slowly becoming worth
less. I would like to dig up my copper bullion and see how much land I
could buy with it, or a large sailboat or something else at this time when
confidence is lost in fiat currencies. #r ,ust wait and then first change it into
the new monetary system whatever that may be. It is a very safe way
through to the other side. &ore than likely there is already a contingency
plan in place to replace the temporary international monetary system that
started in 2:>2, if it were to collapse and the time between the currencies
will be brief. If you dont think the governments central planners hasnt
already thought this through, then you are fooling yourself. *ut ,ust because
the government has people in charge of central planning, doesnt mean mean
they can for certain prevent chaos when the time comes to transition to the
ne't international monetary system most probably based on monetary metals
in some way.
Take a balanced approach and you will be ,ust fine. That is the main theme
of this book balance in all things. Level headed and moderate and safe.
#ther coins from around the world can be copper and can be good to urban
mine out of circulation but it all depends on the face value compared with
the weight of copper. %t the moment 2 and 0p copper coins are worth far
more intrinsically than their face value and this will keep going up as the
currencies all race to debase each other. In the -!% its pre E0 pennies are
copper after that they are ,ust copper coated but the -!% pennies are only
0.Fg of copper. %nd there are less of them left because they were
discontinued a decade before the -;.
There are many other coins around the world that are made of copper that
has value beyond its face value. *ut in my research the -; 2 and 0p coins
can buy the largest weight of copper for the lowest amount of currency.
%lso like in Capan, take the 21yen coin for e'ample, it all depends on the
intrinsic value compared to face value. &ining copper 21yen coins are not as
good a ratio as 0p copper coins in the -;, but then 21yen coins do not need
sorting with a magnet, because they are all copper and are still being made
of copper to this day. !o its ?uicker and easier in Capan than in the -;.
In Capan someone could urban mine hundreds of thousands of 21yen coins
very easily in a short space of time for very little cost in fiat currency, I
know this is true because I continue to do it. They do not need sorting
through because all the ones currently in circulation have always been
copper.
I think copper is the main other metal that is worth stacking, but comes no
where near close to gold and especially silvers value per gram which is even
more rare than gold, and these three metals will be worth more and more as
units of currency devalue over time. I think this is an advantage because
copper is less value dense than monetary precious metals, its less likely to be
taken from you by the government which happens fre?uently through history
including recent history. =ou should think about value per gram for your
units of currency. 8or e'ample for around O3111 or about the same half a
million =en at todays e'change rates units of currency you could buy about
211grams of gold or F;) of silver or you could urban mine over a ton of
copper bullion in 2 or 0ps or about half a ton in 21yen copper coins but a lot
easier and less time consuming with the 21yen coins because they do not
need sorting. *ut the e'change rates are changing all the time as fiat
currencies race each other to the bottom. I would say either the silver or
copper options represent much better value for your currency units than ,ust
211grams of gold.
I go to Capan every year or so, we have family and good friends living there.
%s I say in the bug out chapter this may be our first bug out location if we
can get flights. =es Capan is a very different place than any where else in the
world. 8or e'ample when the big mag : ?uake happened many shoppers
e'ited the shops carrying or pushing trolleys full of unpaid for shopping.
%fter the ?uake they %LL dutifully went back inside to line up and pay for
everything. This would not happen in other countries.
They all really help each other over there, I used to live in Tokyo and I
would say this is the only city in the world I would like to be in when the
collapse happens. The Capanese are so kind and helpful to each other even in
times of crisis or whenever people are starving. I want to have funds over
there ready that I can rely on waiting for me if I had to take my family there
in a bug out situation. I want to have these funds waiting for me and my
family that are 211< safe. Is that possible7 If you ask most so called e'perts
they will say this is impossible. They will say there are no investments that
are 211< safe, I would say there are no "%"E/ investments that are 211<
safe, but something outside the banking system can be. $ot funds in a bank
or other risky place but something that would survive a banking collapse or
a collapse of the temporary monetary system that started in >2. !ome things
can never go to nothing like paper can. #f course it could be found and
taken from you, but spread out buried over many stashes its very safe. There
is less chance of bullion being taken from you than currency being taken
from your account as happened to start with with &8 global private accounts
then in (yprus and other places.
!a'o bank recently predicted the Euro will confiscate funds over 211k as
part of a wider actions to stabilise economies. This trend looks to contiue
around the world. Ao not have too much currency in paper. Why save your
currency in the bank with 5ero interest rates7 Its return free risk, at least
under the bed is return free less risk than in a paper investment.
Its on their e'treme list of things that could happen. *ut still the remote
possibility at all is why these made up coins carry on.
% virtual fairy li?uid plethora of mini bubbles is somehow preferable to the
circus tent si5ed bubble being inflated and controlled by the banksters.
Even if governments try price controls and making it illegal to use anything
but what they say can be used, this ,ust makes competition in currencies in
the black or should it be called free market. This urban mining hobby can be
good in many countries. In Capan there are even now F11=en coins to show
how devalued the yen is getting, and the =en is really going down in value at
an even faster rate of decline than other fiat currencies as Capan seem to be
ahead in the global race to debase all fiat currencies. It will not be long until
they discontinue the copper 21yen coin, maybe the 21yen will be made out
of a cheaper metal.
% 21 yen coin is pure copper 9well around :>< so *ron5e like -; pennies)
similar si5e to the -;s 0p so its far batter value to stack 0p copper coins in
the -; which are >grams of copper. *ut this fluctuates as all the currencies
race each other to the bottom. $ot as good as the opportunity as in the -; of
stacking copper for very low face value, but its easier in Capan because they
do not need sorting first, 211< of the coin bags are copper but in the -;
usually less than F1< are copper and rest minted after 2::0 are ,unk steel
coins. *ut prices of these currencies fluctuate against each other, the only
thing that is certain is these metals will all keep going up when valued in fiat
currencies which are all going down over the coming years. !o again it is a
very good opportunity to stack these metals at face value while you still can.
%ustralia and (anada have already discontinued these low face value copper
base metal coins, the trend will continue around the world as the value of fiat
currencies keep falling compared to real tangible things. !o if you can still
stack more valuable metal coins than their face value then get to the bank
and ask to change some notes into coin bags as much and as often as they
will still let you, the window of opportunity is closing. This is building
generational wealth that is far safer than other types of investment where
there is counter.party risk. This is a private safe investment that is protected
against a banking collapse or any financial crisis. The governments can not
confiscate your wealth if they are held privately and safely outside the
banking system.
If you go to a Capanese bank and ask to change a few 2111=en notes into
bags of 211'21yen copper coins which are much bigger than the O2 bags of
0p coins you get from banks in the -;. =ou could build up a large ?uantity
of them. =ou may even be able to change a 21,111 yen note for 21 bags of
211'21yen coins if you could carry them and store them somewhere for the
long term. I often tried to change a few 21,111yen notes regularly when I got
my wages from teaching English but they did not have enough bags of
211'21yen coins, so I had to go to several banks. If you do this many times
at several banks you could probably build up a metric ton of copper coins for
in reality very low cost in fiat currency. This is was my goal and I am getting
there ?uicker than e'pected and hope to surpass my goal of a half a ton
before they discontinue the copper 21yen coin, who knows I may even get to
a metric ton if the copper 21yen lasts that long before they take it out of
circulation or make it out of a less valuable material. I wish I could have
done this at the time when the 2yen coin was made of silver, anyone who did
would have found their purchasing power of each 2yen silver coin was a lot
more than 2yen. %s I said in the chapter talking about where currencies get
their name from, most names come from silver. There will come a time
when people will wish they stored these copper coins at such low face value
but they will have been discontinued and it will be too late.
If you looked at one F11=en coin or F bags of 21'21yen copper coins and
thought to yourself which one has the highest intrinsic value7 Which option
the one F11yen coin made from non monetary metals or the F bags of
21'21yen copper coins will be the most useful for trading when the
temporary international monetary system started in >2 finally comes to an
end7 %nd at the moment they have the same face value6 I hope the reader
starts to think differently and see the world of money and temporary fiat
currency differently. The other reason I like the 21yen copper coin and the
0p copper coin is because *arclays said in a report in 0120 that copper will
start to see shortages in a few years. I do not believe it will ever be in a real
shortage like the real silver shortage, but it is a better more useful material
than other low value metals. I like the three metals that have the longest
history of being used as money, gold, silver and copper. *ut gold to my mind
is not as a good value to stack anymore, not as good value as silver bullion
and copper bullion.
If the =en follows the same downward tra,ectory that all currencies are on,
there will come a time when these small denomination coins will cost a lot,
lot more to mint than they are worth in face value 9this is already the case
and fiat currencies are going to continue to fall) as they create trillions of
currency units out of thin air and add them to the supply. They will be taken
out of circulation or made from a cheaper material. %ny one who held onto
these monetary metal coins will see their value increase a great deal more
than their face value, but at the moment you can still stack them up for their
face value. This are savings and investings that are outside of the banking
system.
8or my part I am sure there will be a new monetary system that will replace
this temporary one, I can see it sometime in the ne't decade, but it is entirely
possible however unlikely that this system could stay on life support a little
longer than that. There is no way that this temporary system can survive
though, it is mathematically inevitable to collapse its ,ust a ?uestion of
when. These coins will be revalued based on their metal content, their value
will have nothing to do with face value in fiat but purely their metal content
so sometimes the smaller denomination coins will be worth a great deal
more than higher face value coins depending on the metal content for
e'ample the 0p copper coins are worth more intrinsically than a 2pound coin
and at the moment we can stack them for their face value, so you can change
a 2pound coin for a bag of F1 ' 0p coins, it really is a good opportunity.
I want to keep stacking mainly silver but also copper as has been said for
small trading in the event of a currency crisis or transition to a new monetary
system that may be down the road sometime in the ne't decade. Cust imagine
currencies around the world are in crisis, people are losing faith in them
prices of everything are inflating at a hyper rate and may places either shut
up or refuse to accept currency even cart loads of paper notes. *ut you go to
your local place that has food, say local farm store or whatever. =ou offer
some bags of copper coins e'plaining their metal content and they can be
tested with a magnet. =ou are now in a position to barter for the goods you
want.
%re there any other low face value copper, coins around the world, that
could be worth stacking7 #f course they will not be as good as silver coins,
these silver coins would be your last items you will use to buy things. I like
the thought of first using what everyone will be calling old copper pennies
4copper bullion rounds4 when this fiat monetary system goes down.
&y banks wont let me change more than 21pounds at a time, but I am trying
to make an appointment to change upto F1pounds at a time. *ut I am happy
to keep urban mining small amounts regularly with around 21< of my
weekly income stacking silver and copper bullion, especially when the
metals are looking high in the price range more copper. When the metals are
looking lower in the price range I put 21< of my income into only silver
bullion.
I would love one of those machines that sorts ?uickly through copper from
,unk, but a good large rare Earth magnet and 0 big buckets on the kitchen
table is fun for my kids sorting the ,unk from the copper, this is urban
mining at its purest.
When I take them to school they ask me 4can we do some urban mining
tonight74 !o I promise to get as many bags of 0ps after work as I can.
They each get 0pounds per week pocket money as long as they do all their
chores. They save half of it in copper bullion rounds for the long term, and
half for spending now. When we have a lot we bury the stash and plant
something appropriate over it so metal detectors will not easily find it, you
would have to clear the area first.
I am interested in hearing other urban miners long term plans7 What are the
best e'it strategies for copper7 (anada and %ustralia have already
discontinued pennies so now anyone who stacked them before will be very
happy.
It is illegal to melt down legal tender coins, but after they have been
discontinued 9which will happen elsewhere ,ust like (anada and %ustralia
sometime soonish as the trend spreads around the world) then you could
melt them down legally. *ut what is the point of melting them down7 =ou
could make little copper ingots or something, but I would have thought the
original copper minted coins would be better for trading.
(opper is never going to be in short supply like silver is, but that doesnt
mean it will not keep going up in value as the fiat currencies keep going
down in years to come. %lso as has been said in the event of a currency
collapse copper bullion rounds would be great for trading small value items
like food etc and silver and gold for larger value items like cars and boats or
even land and property etc.
=es it is better to buy silver while the prices are so low, but we think its
worth also building up a large stockpile of copper bullion 0p rounds.
I do have a tiny amount of physical gold, but traded most of it for silver
when the silver to gold ratio was so high. If the ratio ever goes back up there
I will trade the last of my gold for silver too. I also have some digital gold
for short term trading, I pay attention to gold but buy physical silver and
copper. $ot so interested in gold for the long term, there are great huge
stockpiles of gold bullion around the world in the millions of tons that could
be sold into the market at any time lowering the price. This is not true for
silver bullion anymore.
I have a lot more silver and still stacking more while the prices are still
down here. I hope I can reach my goal for the amount of silver stacked
before prices are at new all time highs.
*ut I also want to build up a few metric tons of copper in 0p coins pre 2::0.
8or O311 face value you can stack 21F;) of copper bullion, because each
0p is >grams of copper. %t the rate I am urban mining them I will be about
half way there in a few years and will reach my goal in a few more years. If
its still possible to urban mine copper I will continue to do it until it is not
possible any more when they are discontinued. *ut I am finding a lower
percentage of copper coins and e'pect this to get even lower, it may take a
few more years to reach my goals. I hope they dont discontinue them here in
the -; like they have in (anada and %ustralia any time soon.
I can see copper bullion rounds being very useful for small purchases when
the faith in fiat is lost and the con game is up.
%s I said while living and working in Capan I used to change a percentage of
my income every week into 21yen copper coins. &y goal is to also build up
another metric ton of copper over there. Each individual copper 21yen coin
has intrinsic value more than a F11yen coin made out of steel. %t the
moment you can still change a F11yen coin for bags of 21yen coins. The
local banks in my area of Tokyo are all cleaned out of bags of 21yen when
ever I go over there. *y the time of my ne't visit I clean them all out again.
Its perfectly legal for now. I hope when you are reading this you can still
swap currency notes for far more valuable coins at face value. If its not too
late start stacking now, there will come a time when the bank will not let
anyone do this or the coins will be taken out of circulation or replaced by a
lower value material. Those who stacked the old coins before they
disappeared will find their value increase a great deal.
%s the population of the world keeps e'panding the amount of raw materials
being consumed is increasing at an even greater degree.This is especially
true of both silver and copper as they are both very useful metals industrially
as well as being monetary metals. It will not be long before the value of
some of these coins is so far above the decreasing face value that they will
be taken out of circulation or made out of a cheaper material like steel or
something else.
It may not be all that worth it for small numbers so you have to think big.
$ot big in cost but big in weight. I have been encouraging friends and family
to stack monetary metals while they are so cheap, some say to me I cant
afford it. Well even if you urban minded 21)*" every week, over 31weeks
311)*" face value is over a 211;) of copper bullion. %t the time of
writing if I google copper bullion I see the prices on copper bullion bars and
rounds are very high compared to the raw material, I am sure by the time
you are reading this they will be a lot, lot higher as the race to debase
currencies picks up speed. Why would anyone buy copper bullion rounds
and bars at these high prices when you can still buy face value copper
rounds from the bank for tiny fraction of the cost of buying the other copper
rounds. (opper is copper, but I would actually prefer 2 troy ounce of copper
in about E ' 2ps or G ' 0ps coins than buying a 2 troy ounce minted copper
coin or bar, because its more divisible in 2ps or 0ps.
When my children were born. in addition to English and Capanese globes, I
got each of them si' piggy banks because I wanted them to save.
They have various piggy banks for various currencies and various base and
precious metals. I am not absolutely trying to make currency and commodity
speculators out of them like their father is, but simply trying to create
awareness that there are different types of money and some should be saved
for the long term. !ome should not be like paper and low value base metals
like steel so these low value notes and coins need to be changed into
something with intrinsic value %!%". The fact that you can still at the time
of writing change face value paper into a lot more silver or copper bullion
coins is a gift that smart people should be taking advantage of before the
window closes and all copper is out of circulation.
To add a bit of fun to your urban mining with kids another suggestion we
love to do on occasion is take bags of previously mined and sorted ,unk steel
0ps to an arcade or some place with 0p slot machines. They sometimes put
ten or twenty pound notes or watches or something on top of the 0ps to
entice you in. The arcade thinks it will take so many 0ps to push the 21er
out far enough to fall off that they will re.position it further back every
couple of days. We have a good look when we first get to a new 0p slot
machine and choose which one looks the most promising. Then we stick to
that one section until we go home. $o point putting 0ps in another ,ust
concentrate on one. If possible ,ust after someone else has run out of 0ps
and not won anything further when they walk away you start on that one if it
has a prise worth trying for like a larger currency note. We get rid of bags of
steel 0ps and all the ones that fall out the bottom can ?uickly be sorted with
a powerful magnet pulling out the steel ones to go back in and keeping the
copper ones to take home with you. =ou can not do a perfect mining ,ob
until you are home where the last few steel ,unk coins can be pulled out. %
powerful magnet will pull 01Z steal coins up at a time all stuck to each other
being careful no copper coins are in there. Its actually a lot of fun, we keep
going until you push off the prise we were aiming for or the first steel 0ps
we ,ust put in start to come out which means there are no copper ones left
which does take a lot of 0p which is a good way to get rid of your steel ones
and keep only the copper ones.

%ttack the 0p slot machine from both sides so an even push from both sides
when the sliding platform pushes out. #bviously I do not think there is any
profit in machines like this but it can good fun with the kids and can be
another way of getting rid of non monetary metal 0ps in e'change for
copper monetary metal 0ps if you have been doing it to the banks too often
in your area. =ou may even win the occasional Fer or cheap watch or other
such toy and have some fun in the process B)
I started this bonus chapter by ?uoting &ike &aloney 4your real wealth can
be measured in your time and energy4 so when working out how much you
earn per hour at work instead of thinking in terms of units of temporary
currency per hour, measure your work per hour in another way. %t the time
of writing I can earn G1)*" per hour or every copper 0p weighs >grams 92p
is 3.Fg e'actly half) so I can earn 2G;) of copper bullion coins per hour if I
am smart, which are far more valuable than G1)*" in note or digital virtual
numbers on an electric screen and will not go down in value as the units of
currency will, copper will in fact keep going up in value as the currency is
debased. I know its a bit of work urban mining them and that needs to be
factored in but we view it as an en,oyable hobby, our kids look forward to it
and have fun and we view it as spending ?uality time together talking about
interesting topics while we sort through bags and bags of 0ps. This is a very
safe long term savings and investing plan that is outside of the banking
system. #nce you have stored the copper bullion yourself there is no counter
party risk and it is completely private. It is a savings plan that is protected
against the coming perfect economic storm. It is protected against a banking
collapse and an end to the temporary international monetary system started
in 2:>2. There is nothing wrong with what I suggest here, the temporary
monetary system started in 2:>2 is dying anyway, far better to understand
what is going on than to be ignorant of it. !ometimes the staff at the bank
wonder what I want all these 0ps for, I have no problem telling them the
truth as I hand back bags of sorted steel ones for new bags containing around
G1< copper ones for my kids to sort through again, it is a bit too much for
the staff to understand when I try to e'plain. *ut they are ?uite happy to
keep changing bags for me so we can pull out all the copper. &ost people
today are still so asleep to the change in 2:>2 and what it means for the
temporary international monetary system the world is on. %gain the purpose
of this bonus chapter is to get the reader to think differently to how you have
been programmed to by the con game that started in >2. The bankers want
people to be distracted and not to think of copper 0ps as copper bullion
rounds and any different to the identical looking steel ones.
!ome people who think they understand the situation say 4yeah its worth
stacking copper pennies because they have about Gp worth of copper and
you can buy them for 2p each by the thousands.4 That is taking a short term
view. "eople think about it an say 4what so you melt them down and sell
them for scrap74 This is again short term thinking and its not worth it. These
are copper bullion rounds that will each be worth more than cart fulls of O21
notes at some time in the future.
Ao not make the mistake of using temporary fiat currency to measure things.
Cust work out the monetary metal content. *etter to measure how much
copper, like every penny has 3.Fgrams of copper and every 0p has >grams of
copper. I mean copper is a monetary metal with almost as long a history as
being used as money as gold and silver has. It may not be a monetary
precious metal but it is a monetary metal with thousands of years of history
being used as money. Like silver, if every year you have stacked more
weight of bullion than the year before you are then more wealthy. It does not
matter what the temporary paper price is doing. "aper price means nothing
when you take the long term view.
The way I look at it is...........
.Its a form of diversification that is outside the banking system so far safer,
as they debase the currency your copper bullion is worth more.
.Its a form of physical security that can be relied upon because there is no
counter party risk.
.Its a long term teaching instrument for my children . I get them to do the
sorting for their allowance. Teaching them about money and currency and
what has value and what has little. % couple of big buckets each for 2 and
0ps on the kitchen table a large magnet each and lots and lots of bags of
pennies and 0penny coins to sort the copper from the ,unk. The ,unk goes
back into O2 bags the correct weight to be O2 then back to the bank to be
changed for more bags to sort though.
*uried treasure, pots of gold and silver at the end of the rainbowS9I would
add copper money in with the gold and silver) learning about the value of
money and currency and how to use it wisely are an important part of a
childKs education. %t the same time, saving for a childKs future is something
you canKt start early enough. )ood money sense is priceless at any age. *ut
the banking world would certainly like every childs education to be different
from the truth about currency and money. #f course those with the power to
create endless units of currency want people to believe its as good as money,
and this deceptive form of the con game has always been pushed on kids
from an early age every time this monetary cycle has repeated throughout
history.
8inal points on why I like copper as well as silver.
!ilver and gold are monetary precious metals with almost J111 years of
recorded history being used as money. %s the monetary cycle repeats again
and again, currency always collapses in value and the people come rushing
back to money. (opper is not a monetary precious metal but it is a monetary
metal that is the ne't in line of having the longest history of being used as
money with about G111 years recorded history of being used as money.
/emember the first chapter about the properties of currency and money.
"lease once again look at the ?ualifications of currency and money and have
a think if copper ?ualifies as currency or money7 (an copper be considered
money in and of itself like gold and silver can be7 (opper may be less value
dense but is at least tangible unlike bit coin or digital currencies that are
virtual. even paper notes have very very little tangible value and most of the
currency units in the world are now digital only, they do not print that many
notes compared with how many digital units of currency are in the worlds
e'panding supply. I say arguably copper meets all the ?ualifications of
currency and in some regards it is a long term store of value 9?ualification to
be money) but I know many disagree with me on this. *ut copper is all the
other things durable, fungible, portable etc. Dowever 4store of wealth4 and
4portable4 are a dangerous powerful combination. This is because portable
can mean steal.able, or as the government has called it in the past.
confiscation. With copper, note that because it isnt value dense as gold and
silver are, governments have never come after privately held copper bullion
like they often have peoples gold and silver.
!o coppers value density being low weight serves as a double protection
from theft and or confiscation from the government. They have never as far
as my research tells me came after peoples copper bullion maybe because it
is so heavy for not much value, but they have many times throughout the
millenniums including modern times come after privately held gold and
silver. &onetary precious metals are easier to come after and there are many
e'perts who are seriously predicting this in the near future. Cust like several
decades ago in %merica the government came after peoples monetary
precious metal and want people to use currency instead. Especially silver
which is now in very short supply now that all the world stockpiles have all
been depleted and it is a such crucial strategic metal for technology and
industry including military applications. It is also critical to control to be in
control of currencies. Lord /othchild once said 4give me control of the
money and I care not who is in government.4
!o in review gold, !ilver and copper bullion are all worth stacking as a safe
long term investment. Dowever because copper is less value dense it is a
better protection from theft. If you have say O3111 of face value copper 0ps
this would weigh over a metric ton 211F;) so no one could steal it easily.
Dowever O3111 of silver at todays price is about Fkg or in gold only a
211gram bar these can easily be taken from you.
E'it strategy.
&any ask me what you will do with all your 0ps when I encourage them to
also do some urban mining before the opportunity is gone and there are not
many copper bullion coins left in circulation. The first thing they say when
they hear that each copper 0p is currently worth Gp is 4so can you melt them
down and sell them for scrap74 I shake my head in how short term and
misguided most people are about the future of what they use as currency is.
In the future, after the end of the temporary international monetary system is
replaced with whatever comes after it. %nd after the manipulation has ended
so that monetary metals have been revalued up and found their free market
value based on supply and demand of the actual metals not paper promises,
then I want to see how much land I can buy with my metals. Cust as a rough
e'ample, reasonable farm land is around O21; per acre at the time of
writing, but this varies so much depending on so many things. !o say I start
putting offers in to land for sale adverts where someone has couple of acres
for sale something along the lines of F11 grams of gold bullion or F;) of
silver bullion which would be 21B2 ratio 9by then I e'pect it to be around
21B2 or less silver worth the same as gold) for as much land as possible to
barter for. #r offer when bartering all of or some of my hopefully by then 2Z
metric Ton of copper bullion, if the government doesnt take the copper 0p
out of circulation before I get to over a ton. If the opportunity continues for
years yet I may have a couple of tons of copper stacked before the collapse
of the temporary system. Its hard to know what the ratios will be when the
metals revalue to their free market value. I e'pect offering a land owner the
choice of F11grams of gold or F;g of silver bullion, or 2 metric Ton of
copper bullion for a couple of acres of good farm land, he would I would
guess 9by then at that time assuming the manipulation has ended and the
metals revalue to their true value) choose the Ton of copper bullion, because
by that time the world had ,ust gone through the collapse of the temporary
fiat monetary system and these copper bullion rounds will seem very
appealing for free market or black market 9depending on government
controls) trading. #r I could sell some bullion to the new units of currency
whatever will replace this temporary system and buy the land for the new
currency units. I would guess these ratios of the monetary metals will be
about right for an acre or two of good land after the collapse of the
temporary international monetary system. Its ,ust a guess but around
F11grams of gold or F;g of silver or a ton of copper I would guess would be
worth the same as a couple of acres of good farm land in a good area after
the collapse of this dying monetary system. !o I think silver and copper are
much better investments right now than gold. )old was cheap when it was
+311o5 when I fist bought in the yr 0111 but then it went up to over +2111
now well on its way to +0111 and then to infinity measured in -! + as the
-! + goes to nothing. !ilver has not yet gone up this much, =ET and copper
can be bought if thats the right word for it for 0p every >grams, which is as
good as buying gold back when it was +311o5.
I like to ask people the ?uestion. What would you choose today out of a
211gm gold bar about the si5e of a small domino piece in the game of
dominos, or a F;) silver bullion bar about the si5e of a small loaf of bread
or 2 ton of copper bullion in bags of 31F1 ' 211 pennies or 2F0F ' bags of
F1 ' 0ps on a pallet about the si5e or mass of an average large bath7 Cust so
they get an idea how much metal they would be getting for about three
grand. Which option would you choose7 What a difficult choice7 Well at the
time of writing this, only a 211gram bar of gold costs O31J3.11 so gold has
gone up a lot ahead of silver and copper. % F;) silver bullion bar 9Fkg in
coins costs a lot more) but a F;) cast silver bar costs O3110.E1 because the
paper gold to silver ratio is so out of wack its over J1B2, the real bullion ratio
is less because real silver never goes down as much as the paper price. =et
you could buy if thats the right word 2 metric Ton of copper bullion for
face value O31F1 in 2pZ0ps. !o in my opinion its not worth saving gold
right now, its a toss up between silver and copper bullion as to which would
be the better long term investment for say around O3111 every year.
Which option would you choose for a long term investment7 If someone
owed you three grand but said they have no cash sorry but the only options
for them to pay you what they owe is they could offer you these three
options which would you choose7 There are many things to consider. 8or a
start logistics. The gold bar could be slid in your wallet. The silver bar not so
easy but you could put it in your bag. The copper bullion would be more
stress and cost, so that needs to be taken into consideration. I think as for
logistics silver wins. %s for value no doubt about it silver wins when you
consider how much you are getting for the amount of currency units related
to scarcity and availability. %s for safety and sleeping well at night for
whatever reason. )old has the most likely chance of being confiscated or a
law made saying it is illegal to hold it. !ilver comes second but not in recent
times has this happened to silver as gold has, and copper has never as far as I
know had this happen to it. What about theft7 (opper is very unlikley to be
stolen even if thieves break in and locate all your bullion, how could they
move it7 !o copper wins here. &any other factors silver and copper win
over gold every single time. *ut when you consider the rarity of silver
bullion compared to gold and copper bullion available in the world the silver
option is most appealing.
There will not be shortages of copper for about 31 years it is very plentiful
but silver stockpiles are getting very depleted in comparison. *ut I choose to
invest 21< of my income every year in both copper and silver, more silver
bullion in the big dips like in %pril 0123, and when silver is not in a such big
dip keep stacking copper bullion as at the moment before they discontinue
copper 2 and 0ps the price I can stack them for never changes as the paper
price of copper fluctuates, because I can buy bags of 0ps for face value. $o
matter how the price of all three metals gold, silver and copper changes or
how high it may go you can still stack 0ps for face value. !o as long as the
copper coins are still in circulation the best time to stack copper coins for
face value is when the metal prices are high, when there is a dip in
gold,silver and copper they tend to move together, its better to put 21< of
your income into stacking silver for your currency units. If you are reading
this at a time when it is no longer possible to stack copper bullion coins for
face value far less than the price of copper then it will probably be far better
to stack silver bullion for your depreciating units of currency. *ecause I find
the cost of buying other minted small copper bullion rounds from a copper
bullion dealer is a great deal higher per gram than stacking 0ps. "robably
the best time to stack copper bullion rounds is ,ust before they are taken out
of circulation but you never know when that will be. There was no warning
when it happened recently in (anada and %ustralia there was ,ust an
announcement that small denomination copper coins had been discontinued
and the remaining ones were to be taken out of circulation. "eople only
found out after it happened. They were even encouraged to hand in any they
had to redeem them for face value at their bank for a limited time, so they
said soon it would be too late and you would not be able to redeem your
coins for the same value cash so do it ?uickly. #nly the foolish people did
that with their copper coins, if they held on to them for the long term they
would see the purchasing power increase a great deal.
Even after the government decides to save all the copper for itself it will
take years to get it all back from circulation. In (anada and %ustralia the
government asked everyone to turn in their copper bullion but its taking
years to get it all back, they will never be able to get it all back. The same in
the rest of the world, years later it will still be possible to keep your eyes out
for copper bullion in your change. *ut once it is decided to go after copper
in circulation you will no longer be able to do what I am suggesting urban
mining. %fter the government decides to go after your copper if you change
a O21 note into bags of pennies they will have already been sorted and you
will be given ,unk with no copper in. !o until that day smart investors are
doing what my family is doing and stack copper bullion for the long term.
While you can stack it face value 0p for >grams which is well under the
value of real copper.
This is the point I want to make from this chapter, if the start of the book is
to show that silver 9and copper to a lesser e'tent) are money in and of
themselves at all times, and I want to show later how necessary they are for
modern life today. *ut more than that how there is not enough of them left
and silver will be depleted in 2>yrs and copper in about 31.
If someone is thinking what has this chapter got to do with simple balanced
self reliance7 Well this is the most self reliant way of saving and investing
outside the financial system. %sk yourself as you read this, could I stack F;g
of silver and 2111;g of (opper every year or two until the temporary
system comes to an end7 %t the moment it only costs about O3; for F;g
silver or a metric ton of copper bullion the way I suggest in this urban
mining chapter. (ould you save OJk per year for your retirement7 Thats
only OF11 per month. &y hope is by following the suggestions in this book
the reader can save if not OJ; per year then at the very least 21< of that.
(ould you start right now today buying silver bullion and urban mining
copper bullion7 The answer is yes in every single case its ,ust up to you to
go and do it
8inal point about urban mining copper. !ome deflationists argue that
holding currency for now is a good thing because if we see big deflation
then you can buy more gold and silver with your currency before the
currency finally goes to nothing. &v view is things are so unstable now as
the temporary system slowly comes to an end, we could well see big
deflation first which means units of currency go up in value, and everyones
debts including mortgages go up so its not a good idea to have any debt now
with the chance of big deflation. *ut it could go either way no one knows
not even the central planners who are trying to regain control, and ultimately
well definitely see even bigger inflation as the worlds currency supply is
e'panded e'ponentially more and more before the collapse of confidence
and the currency goes to nothing. !o if there is deflation then my O3111 I
slowly spent on copper bullion could always be deposited back in the bank
for face value. =es in that case I wasted a lot of effort sorting them with a
magnet. *ut the kids en,oyed it and found it interesting and hopefully learnt
a lot about different types of metals. *ut I doubt I will ever deposit them
back in the bank. The copper is worth more than face value, but as I said
things are so unstable right now who knows what will happen. If it is
possible to buy silver bullion even cheaper sometime then I will certainly
deposit my ton of copper back in the bank for face value and buy silver
bullion with it. %s long as it is possible to buy real physical silver bullion,
,ust because the paper prices goes down doesnt mean real silver will be
available at that price. *ut either way for now I like to invest in copper
bullion face value coins with around 21< of my income. !o this is an option
where you are protected against either deflation or inflation. %t any rate what
ever happens, it is far safer than the same currency units in the bank which
will at some point go to nothing.
0123 -"A%TE. I know I said in 0122 that I doubt I will ever sell my copper
bullion rounds back to the bank for face value, only in a big deflation which
I thought was very unlikely. 8or years now I have been putting 21< of my
income into copper bullion. *ut in 0123 it did indeed happen, of my over
O3111 face value that I stacked of copper bullion I decided the silver price
was pushed so low it would now be worth it to slowly deposit up to half of it
back in the bank at face value, to buy silver bullion with it, why7 *ecause
the silver price was pushed all the way down. I was already all in physical
silver bullion and the only funds I had left were what I saved in copper
bullion. !o I ,ust started getting ready to start depositing copper back in the
bank buying real physical silver ounces for O20 per ounce with my bags of
copper that I was going to deposit back in the bank. If the real silver price
stayed down there I would have traded all my copper in for silver, but of
course those low prices did not last long and it was not at all easy to find real
silver for the low spot prices. In the end I was able to borrow the funds very
cheap with an unsecured loan. !o I did not need to sell any of my urban
mined copper. It is interesting how reluctant you are to part with copper
because it was so much fun urban mining it. (ompared with paper or digital
which you could sell in one go, then regret it so slowly little bit at a time is
safer. "lus it takes a lot of time anyway, you can only do a little or so at a
time. =ou cant take a metric ton of copper to the bank in one go. *ut you
could trade a ton of bullion for land or a sailboat or something. %s the price
of silver and copper go back up I will slow down buying silver bullion and
go back to stacking copper again until they discontinue copper rounds
altogether. *ut while the silver price is so low that is where 21< of my
houshold saving will go. When silver is at new all time highs, I will switch
to stacking copper again if the copper bullion has not yet been discontinued
from circulation.
Will it happen again7 Will there be big deflation so that the face value of
your copper is worth a lot more than the copper content7 Well I thought it
was unlikely back a few years ago but I was wrong then, ,ust as I think now
it is very unlikely silver will ever be that low ever again. %ll I can say is
things are so unstable who knows7 Even the central planners do not know if
it will be big deflation before the really big inflation that is now inevitable.
!o stacking copper at face value most of the time is very safe in case of big
deflation or the inevitable big inflation that is 211< certain in the near future
if the worlds currency supplies keep e'panding e'ponentially. While the
price of silver is very low this would be the best option for 21< of your
income every month. The times when silver is not so low copper bullion in
pennies or two penny coins is where 21< of my income goes to. *ut while
silver is so underpriced I feel that is the better option to save every month.
!o if there is big inflation you are well protected in copper0ps and even if
there is very big deflation and the face value is more than the coppers value
then you could deposit them back in the bank slowly as much as you can
carry at a time. *ut only if there is something else to buy and hold with your
currency units because long term the currency units will certainly go down.
%nother update in 0123 I always knew a tenth of a troy ounce of silver has
always been a days wage, 20hrs. This has been true for most of the J111yrs
of human history. #nly very recent times silver has been artificially
suppressed.
I have recently been studying coppers use as money in *ible times7
I am trying to work out the copper silver ratio through most of history. In
*ible times according to my e'tensive research and most e'perts tend to
indicate copper was >0B2 ratio with silver appro'. %nd the silver to gold ratio
was the natural ratio of about 2JB2 this varied a little but never so out of
whack as it is today at over J1B2. !o roughly speaking, through most of
history >0grams of copper were worth the same as 2 grams of silver and
2Jgrams of silver were worth the same as one gram of gold.
I say this copper to silver ratio as >0B2 as an estimate from a chart in the
back of the newest version of the $ew World Translation of the Doly
!criptures.
This chart shows these coin images of money used in *ible times shown to
scale. !o the one 21th To5 silver coin was 20hrs wage and a copper@9bron5e
:>< copper)G ?uadrantes coin looks about G times larger. %nd that chart
shows 20 hrs in lines upto one day. The G ?uadrantes copper coin shows its
about 3@G of an hrs wage. The half si5e copper coin shows about half that say
00mins wage. The half copper coin ?uadran coin is then probably only worth
Fmins worth wages so very small. #ther sources from monetary historians
agree with this.
!o a tenth of an o5 silver like a denarius or a drachma is worth 20hrs wage
and a copper@bron5e coin the same si5e and weight like a ?uadrans coin was
21mins wage. !o around >0 ?uadrans worth the same as a 21th o5 of silver.
%s I said I can earn 2G;) of copper bullion coins per hour if I am smart by
urban mining copper with my earnings.
Hery interesting. (ompare that to the gold@silver@copper ratio today and you
can see silver and copper are much better value than gold in comparison.

I talk a lot inthis book about reducing your financial footprint this has also

It sounds a bit like reducing your carbon footprint while producing actual

Im still incredulous seeing that the people of (yprus, %rgentina, Hene5uela

was probably going to be stolen from them yet fewer than five percent did a

&oscow. It is gone for good and :F< of the people of these countries who
had any money are now mostly penniless. They wish they could have bought
physical silver and taken possession before their hard earned currency was
stolen but hindsight is a fine thing. To go from a comfortable retirement with
a million units of currency in the bank renting a beautiful villa on the beach
in (yprus to having your few possessions moved out onto the front street,
unable to pay the rent because your currency units were taken by the

%s an aside, a revaluation of the Hene5uelan (ru5ero leaked out a day before
they did it. What did most people do7 $othing6 The ones not fro5en with

discount what they have so buying what they did didnt help much. /eminds
me about what happened in Weimar )ermany in their last hyperinflation
where it was said the most unmusical people were buying large grand
pianos. =ou needed a cart full of paper currency to buy a small loaf of bread
and if you left your cart unatended outside the shop a thief would tip the
currency out and steal the empty cart.
They should have ,ust bought silver bullion the day before the cru5ero
dropped J1< but of course there was none available all sold out with long
waiting lists, but you could buy paper promises as much as you like.
Thankfully the truth is out that these promises of silver being stored
somewhere are fraudulent and can not be trusted. Even if they were telling
the truth that they store your silver somewhere then its not private and could
be taken from you.
$o different than what happened in %rgentina a few years ago, numerous
other countries and all the way back to the Weimar /epublic in 2:0G. Is such
a time ahead in the rest of the world7 "erhaps. I&# I think so but you be

&ining !tocks a high risk or high reward7
%s the prices of these monetary metals have been suppressed, the price of
mining stocks have taken a tumble too. %s I have said many times stay well
away from any paper derivatives of real money, this includes mining stocks.
There are two big issues affecting the sector in general. 8irst, there are
concerns about demand. If you do not believe in the manipulation and you
think there is a free market in the metals, then looking at the data, demand is
falling as billions of paper ounces are created and sold into the market. It
looks like there is so much selling that it is not worth mining these metals if
there is so much more selling at these low prices than there is buying then
this means there is no demand, its not worth mining them. The truth is of
course that its paper promises that are being sold far more than are being
bought the real metals are being bought at a much greater rate than are being
sold. *ut the distortion is there until the manipulation comes to an end.
Then the global economy is hardly firing on all cylindersR more specifically,
worrying about a (hinese hard landing has gone from being a minority
position to being ?uite popular.
%nalysts have been flocking to downgrade their e'pectations for (hinese
)A" growth. %s the Wall !treet Cournal points out, the new median analyst
forecast is constantly being cut. %s the real numbers are going down all the
time the forecasts for the future are also going down as reality sets in.
#ne e'pert Cohn Embry also discusses trouble in (hinaB LThe other thing
IKve been looking at is this whole (hinese situation. With great furor they
reported >.F< growth in the most recent ?uarter. *ut I ,ust look at their
situation and I see a massive housing bubble which may be the largest in
world history when you compare the prices to the underlying incomes.
I also see e'cessive debt everywhere in the (hinese financial system. There
is also the problem of vast overcapacity with regards to manufacturing, as a
result of weakening e'ports, and to me I ,ust donKt think thatKs a healthy
situation.
I donKt know what their true )A" growth number is, but it most certainly
isnKt the >.F< they ,ust reported. The (hinese have been the engine of
world growth post the world financial crisis, and I ,ust donKt see them as
being able to carry the load much longer.
%s a result, where is the engine of growth7 The Western world is highly
indebted, so there is no real vitality there. !o if (hina gets into difficulty, I
think things will get pretty messy, and it will ,ust serve to reiterate why IKm
so bullish on copper and even more so silver. %ll of this economic weakness
will ,ust lead to more and more currency creation all around the world and
thatKs the best possible environment, ultimately, for gold, silver and copper
prices.M
%nd even if the (hinese economy avoids a hard landing 9which I think is
unlikely), the ne't phase of its development will be less commodity.
intensive. )iven that (hina is such a vast source of demand N it accounts for
about G1< of global copper consumption, for e'ample N thatKs a problem for
anyone who sells raw materials. This does not affect silver so much because
silver consumption is spread around the world in tens of thousands of tiny
applications in every instance. Even if industrial demand for silver does slow
down in its meteoric rise, it is still actually rising every year, but the
investment demand is rising even faster.
*ut ,ust think of that G1< of global copper consumption is from (hina, and
they are slowing down. Where does most of the silver supply come from7
Thats right as a by product from mining these other metals like copper. !o
as demand for copper goes down so does mined supply. Therefore
decreasing the amount of supply of silver coming to market. #r thats what
should happen in a free market, but lets look closer.
!ilver supply at the moment comes mainly from by.product mining from
other metals. %s Aavid &organ says they are not going to throw the silver
ore away, even if its making a loss to refine the silver out and sell it for spot
prices.
When you look closely at base metals like 5inc you see stockpiles are
building up, and have been for years now but mining does not slow down,
why7
8or some reason they have been mining a lot of e'tra 5inc than is demanded.
In other words they are not mining it because there is demand, they are
mining far more than is re?uired and stockpiles are building up far more than
there are buyers wanting it. *ut the price is staying flat.
Look at nickel and you see the situation is even more absurd with the
warehouse stock levels are almost in a parabolic spike up.
Why do they keep mining so much of it when the price is flat and they are
mining so much more of it than is demanded every year7 They are running
out of storage space for all these base metals, but continue to mine far more
than is demanded. There is a lot more supply than demand so the e'cess is
being stored more than at any time in history.
What one would e'pect to see in a free market when supply so far e'ceeds
demand that the price would collapse. 8or some reason 9manipulation) the
price remains relatively flat and even more is mined and added to the already
largest ever stockpiles in history because there is no where near enough
demand for it compared with the supply.
!o what conclusions can be drawn from these base metals being mined so
heavily even though supply is so much more than demand7 Its my
contention and many others agree, that the reason they are doing that is
because they need to get the last of the silver pulled out and refined even at
such low silver prices. I do not believe they are doing this for a profit from
the mining activities in fact as many do, I believe these companies are all
controlled by the big banks who seemingly rule the world.
To keep the unbacked fiat temporary monetary system from 2:>2 going the
prices of gold and silver have to be manipulated. &anipulations and price
suppressions always cause shortages in the end. If it was a free market then
there would be no new silver mined at a loss and the price would go up until
supply and demand met. *ut its not a free market and those manipulators
view it as more important to keep the supply of silver coming in to try and
meet demand even at a huge loss to keep the temporary system from >2
prolonged as long as they can.
The reason that they are doing all this mining at a loss is to bring up the last
of the silver so they can meet these come' contracts or they would have the
entire thing blow up on them ending the temporary system from >2.
Worldwide stockpiles of gold and some of these other metals are building up
and up because there is so much surplus every year. !ilver stockpiles have
been getting depleted to meet the higher demand than supply.
%fter all, falling (hinese demand is one thing, but if there are less incentive
for these metals to be mined wont there be less brought to supply creating a
shortage which will raise the prices encouraging more supply to be mined7
In a free market yes, but it doesnt work like that in the current manipulated
market. When the price of resources shoots up, companies have an incentive
to produce more raw materials. (onversely when the prices are suppressed
the mining companies have a hard time bringing the metals up to the above
ground facilities to then be refined at a profit. These companies should slow
down or even go bust. They do not slow down and stockpiles of base metals
are building up. #nce again stay away from any temptation to invest in
mining companies or any thing that is not the real silver bullion you take off
the market yourself. I can see the mining industry facing terrible problems in
the near future, many companies going bust or being taken over or
nationalised. There will be more problems with miners revolting and
protesting about low pay and poor safety conditions. This is all pointing
towards less supply being brought to market ,ust as demand of the real stuff
goes to the moon. "rice suppressions never work they always cause
shortages in the long run. With the silver price pushed down so much lower
than the cost of mining it.
There are many numbers thrown about talking about the all in costs of
mining and refining silver. $ot ,ust the cash costs but when you include
everything my thoughts are that no body can give a 211< acurate truthful
answer but it is generally much higher than most estimates.
If you look at the company (aterpillar who offers most of the worlds of
-nderground &ining e?uipment, their company is tanking. They are not
selling much e?uipment. %s the worlds currency supplies are getting abused
and e'panded companies have to charge more units of currency to stay in
business, but the mining companies can not afford to pay it while the silver
prices are so low.
With the silver price pushed so low mining companies can not operate and
show a profit. %ll the miners are losing money while the prices stay down
here. They can not pay all the workers health benefits and insurance which
are going up a lot after all the disasters and reported health issues involved
with working in the mining industry. &iners are going on strike demanding
safer working conditions and more reasonable pay for sacrificing their health
and safety.
(osts of mining rights and leases and fuel@e?uipment and everything
involved are all going up with the worlds currency supplies being e'panded
so much. &e'ico has put ta'es and costs up a lot for the mining companies
if they make a profit or not they still have to pay these costs. % trend which
is said to continue. *ut the problem is it costs them so much to stop mining
shut down and make everything safe again, waiting for higher metal prices.
If the metal prices stay low for too long the companies go bankrupt if they
can not raise funds to pay their e'penses. %nd raising funds is very hard
while the prices are so low.
Endeavour !ilverKs 9T!TBEA/,$=!EBET;) chief e'ecutive, *rad (ooke, is
?uoted as saying, Lthe combination of the government ta' take and essential
reinvestment needed to sustain mines will take about :1 per cent ]of our
profits^.4
%ll those who invest in mining shares need to be aware that any changes like
this could happen at any time anywhere around the world and your mining
shares drop like a rock while real metal prices shoot to the moon.
The short to mid term future is not looking good for the mining industry.
Even when the manipulation of the silver price is over and silver corrects to
its unmanipulated true value a tenth of an ounce valued at an average
20hours days wage, it will take a long time for the mining companies to get
back to producing at a profit. There are not that many e'perienced workers
left, and the ones that are left they are all getting old and tired of not being
able to make a profit because of such low metal prices for so long. Its not a
good career choice for someone young to get into. There is certainly no
incentive to go out prospecting for new deposits of silver to mine while the
manipulation is keeping the silver prices pushed so low.
The problems for the mining companies are e'asperated by the rampant
currency supply abuse and e'ponential e'pansion all around the world. The
costs of fuel and e?uipment and everything involved with the mining
business are all going up with the e'pansion of the currency supplies. The
only thing not going up until the manipulation ends is the silver price. *ut
demand for the little silver left is going up. The only thing going up is
demand.
!o when the shortage of silver is causing delays in electronics, wont they
,ust mine more silver to meet demand7
#nly when the price goes up enough to make it worth it. *ut thats not the
end of the story. Even if the price goes up to its true value in relation to the
supply of units of currency and it is once again worth it to mine silver there
will not be that much increase in mined silver supply coming to market.
Why7 *ecause most silver at the moment comes to market as a by.product
of mining other metals. It is almost as much as E1< now comes as a by.
product from mining other metals. !o if silver goes to +2111o5 those other
metal mines can not mine more lead or other metal they are primarily after
,ust for the little bit of silver they get as a by.product. If a copper or lead
mine gets one percent of his income from silver, hes certainly not going to
dig up 21 times more lead or copper to increase his silver production by a
factor of ten.
%t the moment these other metal mines have no choice but to keep depleting
the last of the silver that has not yet been mined, at a loss because they are
selling it so cheap. %s they mine these other metals there is silver produced
as a by.product. % copper miner is not going to throw the silver out. !o they
sell it on the market, but the point is their business is not dependent on the
price of silver. The lower it goes does not matter, they will still not throw it
away they still sell it on the open market even if its less than cost of
production as is the case at the moment. !o the last of the silver that has not
yet been mined is currently being mined at a loss and sold into the market at
unbelievably cheap prices.
When the manipulation ends the 01< or so of mined supply that does come
from primary silver mines will now see more profits and will want to
increase production. *ut its not as simple as that. %t the moment the burden
to satisfy silver demand both industrial and investment falls on the shoulders
of what are known as these primary silver producers, and they are now a rare
breed because of the artificial low price of silver. (urrently silver mine
production is around >11 million ounces per year. %nother 311 million
comes from recycling silver, so about a billion ounces every year to feed
demand which is at the moment also about a billion ounces every year
including industrial and investment demand, around F1< each of that billion
ounces are demanded by both investors and silver users. If demand goes up
even a little then its game over. They are walking a fine tightrope.
/emember all the worlds silver stockpiles have already been depleted so it is
now a hand to mouth ,ust in time supply demand situation. The moment that
demand e'ceeds supply there will be shortages. 8or now much of the
investment demand is being met with paper promises of future delivery,
someday these paper promises to deliver silver will be called upon to do so,
and there is not enough real silver available, so the e'plosion in the price of
silver and the end to the manipulation is being postponed into the future.
"rimary silver producers only produce around 01< of that >11 million
ounces per year. If you could free5e demand where it is today, and the
primary silver producers were able to double production, it would take more
than 2F years to get silver inventories back to the level they were in 2::1.
#ver 0Fyears to get back to silver inventories of 2:E1 when the price was
+F1o5.
*ut wont they ,ust open more silver mines to meet demand7 This is the
?uestion many are asking when they learn all the worlds stockpiles have
been depleted and demand is going up while supply is going down. The
?uestion is wont they ,ust mine more silver7
8irst lets talk a little about mining operations.
Cust a few weeks ago from writing this there were E3 miners buried alive in
landslide in a precious metals mine in Tibet. They are saying it will take
years to get back to production. =eah right, at these prices7
Then there was the -tah mine that was the biggest copper mine ever and
could be seen from outer space, it produced about 2J< of the -!%s yearly
supply of silver and has ,ust had the largest landslide in mining history and
will never get back to production until the price makes it worth it. %nd how
safe do these miners feel working in these mines where cave.ins and
collapses are more common7 Where costs are cut everywhere because the
metals price is so low.
If miners start to go on strike because of low pay and dangerous conditions
they will be shot. There is a very, very disturbing video of some poor miners
in %frica where most of the worlds mines are, protesting the dangerous
conditions and brutality and of course very low pay, then they are fired upon.
&ost were killed others barely alive lay bleeding in the dirt.
%fter three minutes of gunfire, bodies littered the ground in pools of blood.
The !outh %frican police ministry said more than 31 striking miners had
been killed many many more wounded by gunshot.

The bankers want as much metals mined at as little cost as possible to keep
the paper game going. *ut it can not and must not last, the price of the
metals has got to go up. It is so important to keep the price of silver down to
keep the con game going, more important than gold or oil or anything else. It
will not be common knowledge until its too late ,ust how important silver is
in the course of history now in the start of the 02st century. !ilver is the key
to the entire global crisis as the monetary cycle repeats, the most important
strategic metal because it is both a monetary precious metal with more use
as money through history than gold, and also it is an essential industrial
commodity that is becoming more essential every day.
If the gold ran out tomorrow the world would not change that much. *ut if
all the silver ran out, no more new advanced electronics. We would be back
in the stone age.
Indeed the manipulative powers have always wanted these metals brought to
production for as low a cost as possible. There is said now to be more slaves
in the world than at any time in history.
8or centuries, Indian slaves mined the mountains of !outh %merica for
silver in brutal conditions to bankroll the !panish empire.
Today, the descendants of those slaves run the mines. *ut hundreds of years
of mining have left the mountain porous and unstable, and e'perts say it is in
danger of collapsing.
%n engineer, says there are J11 mines, most of them abandoned, and about
J1 miles of shafts that have left it hollowed out like a slab of !wiss cheese.
4Total collapse is possible,4 Espino5a a local e'pert says. 4We hope that this
does not happen in (erro /ico.4

Aeep mining destabili5es rock. !everal times every month most gold and
silver and other metal mines have a seismic event that shudders through the
mine. !ometimes the ?uakes cause rockburts, when a rock e'plodes into a
mining cavity it mows down men with a deadly spray of ,agged rock like
shrapnel. !ometimes a shudder or a tremor cause a fall of ground the term
used for collapse. !ome of the rockburts from mining in !outh %frica and
!outh %merica have been so powerful that other countries detecting the
seismic signature has suspected the use of nuclear bombs6
Cust think for a moment of what is re?uired to mine and refine these
monetary metals from the last of the ore that is increasingly hard to locate
and bring to the surface. %s the 2> years left of known silver get used up it
will be increasingly harder and more costly to locate and refine the ore.
(ompare that to digitally mining crypto with no risks of rockburts or
collapse. It is called digitally mining units of crypto to try and make people
think its like gold and silver. *ut there is no limit to how many units of
crypto can be created and digitally mined, there is a limit to how much silver
can be mined and the end is in sight. %s we get nearer to the end the
difficulty and danger will increase e'ponentially.
%nother accident occurred in 0123 at the /evenue.Hirginius mine near
#uray, about 0>1 miles from Aenver. The #uray (ounty sheriffs office said
the e'plosion could have caused a total mine collapse. -.!. !ecretary of
Labor Thomas "ere5 said it appeared to be an apparent e'plosives accident.
%mong the miners who made it out after the accident, 2: were taken to
various hospitals. /escuers moved in to recover two miners who remained
behind. The coroners preliminary report said both men died of carbon
mono'ide poisoning. %t 3 p.m. a rescue party reached the bodies of two
miners who were unable to get out during the blast. % coronerKs preliminary
report said it appears that the two men died from carbon mono'ide
poisoning. The pair was identified asB $ick (appanno, 3G, of &ontrose,
(oloradoR and /ick Williams, F:, of Aurango, (olorado. /evenue.Hirginius
mine produces mainly silver, copper and gold, according to the company
website the mine will be shut down to review safety issues. !ome say the
mine will never reopen or until silver prices are a lot higher.
8or the sake of those miners in the video brutally shot dead, for the sake of
those E3 miners in Tibet who were buried alive, as ,ust two recent e'amples
which are becoming more common and for the sake of all the slaves who are
paid so little and who work in such dangerous conditions to keep the metal
production costs so low, and all other miners who damage their health
working for such a low wage it makes me more determined than ever not to
let the manipulators win, take as much real bullion off the market as possible
to bring an end to this %!%".
The price of silver has to go up, it needs to be mined in safer and
environmentally cleaner conditions even if that costs a lot per ounce, to
bring it to production.
!o when someone says #; demand is more than supply, I suppose they will
,ust open more mines and mine more silver to production7 Well not at these
low prices I can tell you. The problems are that the worldwide average for
taking a mine from discovery to production is seven to twenty years. Thats
if everything goes smoothly. In most countries there are now very strong
environmental laws, and with health and safety laws getting tighter after all
the safety problems and loss of lives with mines lately, it can take much
longer and cost a lot more. &iners are revolting wanting higher pay and
safer conditions. -nderstandably so. Its very hard for mining companies to
do that while the price is so low.
"lus it is not worth prospecting to find more silver to mine while the price is
down here at ,ust +02 or less per o5. The big prospecting will not start until
the silver price is at much higher levels. %nd to top it all off due to the long
bear market in precious metals there is now a severe shortage of e'perienced
workers with the specialised knowledge re?uired for mining operations.
The world isnt ,ust running out of silver above ground either, its also
running out of silver bellow or in the ground. )old is found as far down as
man has dug while silver stops at about 011 feet. !ilver is not found any
deeper than this, and most silver reserves have already been depleted. It is
e'pected the amount of gold above ground will double again by 0101. $ot
true for silver, it is already a hand to mouth supply demand situation, with
waiting lists.
&inable deposits of silver are becoming harder to find. %ll the easy to get to
silver has already been mined. %s said before in this book, the ratio for how
much gold and silver has been mined has always been about 2JB2. There has
usually been about 2J ounces of silver mined every year for every one ounce
of gold. Thus the natural monetary ratio through history has always been the
free market naturally finding the ratio has been about 2J ounces of silver has
bought the same amount as one ounce of gold. Today the ratio of silver
mined compared to gold has halved666666 $ow the ratio of minable silver to
gold is around E to 2. Dalf the long term norm6 yet as I write the price
difference is over J1 ounces of silver are priced the same as 2 ounce of gold.
!o the amount of silver mined in relation to gold is falling so much it has
halved.
There is now confirmed to be less minable silver in the ground yet to mine
than any other metal. This is such an important point its worth repeating. %t
current rates of production and known deposits there is less minable silver
left in the Earths crust than %$= #TDE/ &ET%L.
%ccording to some reports at current rates of depletion the two metals we
will run out of by depleting the known about deposits first will be silver then
copper. These are the first two metals that will be depleted but silver has
around 2> years left, copper 31 years left and gold has over a hundred years
left of known reserves. )old will never actually be depleted because the
deeper they mine the more gold they find. !ilver is only found on the earths
crust. This is a vital point to understand . !ilver will be first to be depleted
from known reserves because it naturally deposits itself near the Earths
crust, whereas more gold can be found by going deeper. This is not true with
silver deposits, you can not ,ust dig deeper to find more silver as you can
with gold. !ome reports say in ,ust a few decades all known reserves of
silver will be depleted. What do you think the price will be as we get nearer
to this time7 What do you think the demand for investment silver bullion
will be as these facts become more common knowledge7
Cust think, if most of these mines are going to be depleted within the ne't
2>yrs, then who will want to buy your soon to be depleted mining shares off
you. Why invest in something that is going to be almost worthless as it gets
nearer to depletion.
%nd think of the mining company data they are releasing, do you think they
will make their numbers look like they have more or less years of silver left7
Its human nature to make information you release in your favor rather than
say the truth that we only have this many years worth of silver left no then
one will invest in your mine.
Earth?uakes or any natural or manmade disasters could strike anywhere at
anytime near to mining pro,ects people invested in when they would have
been far safer to invest in actual bullion and take off the available market.
There is a new super volcano forming in (hile in heavily mined areas. It is
thought that all the mining is increasing the problems with volcanos and
other natural disasters.
Then there are man made events like nationali5ation of mines or large ta'
increases on mining profits. There are ta' increases in &e'ico that are really
affecting the mining industry there ,ust shows anything could happen with
mining share investments no matter how safe you are told they are. They
could be nationalised or taken over or attacked, who knows what could
happen. The lesson is stay away from mining shares and buy safer bullion
that you take out of available supply.
This is a recent report from a well known newsletter writer entitled %re
silver supplies running out7
!ilver has long been a sought after commodity. Duman history, such as the
con?uest of the %mericas, has been defined by the ?uest to find !ilver mines
and reserves. $ow, however, the worlds !ilver mines may be becoming
fully tapped. !ome e'perts even believe that all !ilver mines could become
fully tapped within the ne't 2>.01 years. This could have a dramatic impact
on !ilver and bullion prices as while supply may run out, demand most
likely will not. !ilver is only found near the Earths crust while gold can be
found the deeper the miners dig for it.
!ilver production appears to have peaked in 0111 and since then new !ilver
production has been declining each year. %s of the end of 0121 there were
only a fraction of known !ilver reserves left in nature and at current
production rates, these will run out within 01 years. Thus, unless large new
deposits of !ilver are found that can be easily mined, the supply of new
!ilver entering the market could drop considerably.
There is always a chance that new deposits of !ilver could be found, but new
discoveries are becoming increasingly rare. &ining companies have been
increasing their e'ploration operations but so far the results have been
largely discouraging. Tellingly, new !ilver discoveries since the turn of the
millennium have been well below discovery levels in the 2:E1s. % study by
Intierra/&) has found that discovery rates have been declining even more
rapidly in the last four years and that mining costs are going up.
While its mainly bad news for silver mining industries its not all the news is
bad for gold miners. % large mine gold was discovered in Tin,aing, (hina
,ust a few months ago. This mine alone is estimated to hold some F3 tonnes
of gold. &eanwhile, another 211 tonne mine was discovered in &ongolia in
0121. #f course these are a paltry amounts compared to the &illions of
tonnes that have been mined in human history, but there is certainly a large
disparity between silver and gold prices considering gold is so plentiful and
silver is now so rare. There may be many more undiscovered !ilver mines,
without having to go too deep but most e'perts agree that all the easy to get
to deposits have already been depleted. *ut with gold more can always be
found the deeper the mine can dig, this is not true for silver.
The combination of dwindling supply and increasing demand has the
potential to greatly increase !ilver prices over time. *ut until the
manipulation ends there is no free market supply@demand price discovery in
the silver markets. !ome investors may be concerned about short term
manipulation that may push !ilver prices go down even more. *ut if the
supply of silver is going to run out in the long.run, then a short.term drop in
prices makes it a good time to buy !ilver.
In the long term, !ilver should turn out to be an even better investment as
reserves around the world are depleted. &eanwhile, demand from emerging
nations such as India and (hina will continue to rise. %lready India and
(hina are among the two biggest purchasers of !ilver in the world. The two
countries are home to nearly 0.F billion people, and their economies have
been growing in e'cess of F< for the last several years. %s people in these
countries and elsewhere become more wealthy, they will want to invest
some of their discretionary income in !ilver bullion. Aemand will also grow
as the worlds population continues to grow.
With !ilver supplies running out, however, the supply of !ilver will not
increase. This means that demand will continue to increase at a time when
supply no longer can, and that means pressure on the manipulators and
eventually rising prices and an end to the manipulation. While there is a risk
that !ilver could suffer some turbulence over the ne't few years, if !ilver
supplies do indeed run out, !ilver prices should skyrocket. %nyone who
purchases !ilver before natural deposits are fully tapped could stand to reap
huge profits and returns.
The biggest risk for such a long.term strategy would be the discovery of a
new !ilver mine in a mining friendly country and easy to get it up to refine
it. (ompanies have already been scouring the earth, however, in search of
precious metals so most likely the biggest mines have already been tapped.
-ndoubtedly, there are still deposits of !ilver out there, but they are most
likely in harsh difficult to get to terrain in the earths crust and out of reach
of current mining techni?ues. While things could of course change in the
future, for now !ilver looks like a great long.term investment.
The coming silver boom.
)iven the monetary cycle that has repeated through history . going from
money to currency then back again, and given the way the world is perfectly
repeating this pattern right now by e'panding the currency supply
e'ponentially. =ou can see this cycle repeating in our time but this time all
around the world simultaneously because after 2:>2 this new temporary
international unbacked monetary system was forced on the entire world. Im
certain that this temporary system will end and when it does the
manipulation of silver will also end. I can see it happening in the coming
decade, but it could be much sooner. I would be very surprised if this
temporary international monetary system has not ended by the year 0103, a
decade from writing this. "hysical silver will then have to find its value in
the free market and the paper price goes to nothing, as all the paper promises
are found to be fraudulent. Indeed I think we are on the verge of the greatest
silver boom history has ever seen.
%s the temporary international system continues to collapse, big investors
will and are at present turning to gold first, driving up its price, to protect
themselves from the collapse of the temporary system ending. *y the time
the common man or the general public catches on gold will look very
e'pensive to them. everyone will then start hearing about how silver bullion
is now rarer than gold bullion. In a fren5y, people will dive into physical
silver bullion to protect themselves ,ust as stockpiles are practically
diminished and production has practically stopped. That is when the
manipulation will end and silver prices will e'plode.
The 8uses. There are four main fuses that will ignite silver value.
8use 2. "rice manipulation ending.
%s we have covered the price of silver is manipulated. %nd its manipulated
to an even greater e'tent than gold is manipulated. Ted *utler and his mentor
I55y 8reedman have been writing about this for years now. 8or decades these
and others like them have trying to e'pose the manipulation and end it. Hery
simply put certain entities with the aim to prolong the temporary system
started in 2:>2 have been creating and selling large amounts of paper
promises out of thin air to deliver silver sometime in the future. Dow much
is a lot7 !ometimes more ounces of silver than are mined in a year are
created out of thin air on a paper promise and sold into the market in a very
short space of time with the result of lowering the paper price. It is all
fraudulent because they are broken promises of future delivery.
If these paper promises of future delivery have a loss of confidence then the
paper price will keep going down and the value of real physical silver will
find its free market value. This will be the first fuse. %s Ted *utler says 4it
will happen in the very near future.4
8use 0.
=ou may never have heard of metals leasing. !ilver leasing takes place when
someone wants to sell silver but they have no silver on hand in a vault. What
does he do7 De borrows or leases the silver from someone who says that
they have some silver in their vault 9like central banks always used to have
before it has been depleted). %nd then promises to return the silver someday
in the future. This is another case of paper promises that can then be sold
into the market making the supply of available silver look much larger than
it is. The problem is that the original silver leasing paper promises was a lie
because they did not have any silver in the vault in the first place. Then that
paper promise was a broken promise of the first lie.
%ll of these leases create a phantom supply. Ted *utler wrote about this
years ago in an article you can google called 4silver leasing or silver
fleecing74 There are billions of ounces of gold and silver on loan in todays
market, of which there are currently no reserve supplies to use for payback.
!o what does this phantom supply do7 It is part of the manipulation of
lowering prices. Eventually the whole metals leasing system will collapse,
when it does, the phantom supply will be worthless and pricing of real
bullion that does actually e'ist will go through the roof, this is the second
fuse.
8use 3. !ilver certificates.
&any companies offer either paper or digital promises of bullion. %s I write
about in my trading digital bullion chapter. *asically any option where the
investor thinks they are buying bullion but does not take delivery of it.
(ompanies say they provide storage in a safe vault somewhere. The problem
is most times there is no silver bullion in the vault as promised. &organ
!tanley was one of the first companies to be found out about this scam. they
were sued for not actually storing the metals that they were charging
customers storage fees for holding them. The worst part is they did not even
refute the charges against them rather they said well everyone is doing it. Its
free currency for them, they ,ust take customers currency and issue a bit of
paper promising the customer there is bullion in a vault somewhere with
their claim on it. They continue to make profits by charging customers
storage fees on silver that doesnt e'ist. This third fuse will ignite when
everyone holding these paper promises all at the same time rush out of them
selling and try to buy real physical silver with their currency. #nce again the
paper price will go down and the real silver will go up to its free market
unmanipulated value.
8use G. ET8s
&ost e'perts agree that the e'change traded funds for silver do not hold all
the silver that they promise to hold. sometimes they have promises to have
added millions of ounces to their vaults in a short space of time. This is
unbelievable because there is no place that silver could have come from, all
the stockpiles have been depleted. They are perpetuating the same con game
as all other forms of paper promises to deliver silver sometime in the future.
In the small print the ET8s admit that it is only going to track the paper
price of silver. !o as we now know in the future the paper price will keep
going down as the supply of ounces of paper silver e'pands e'ponentially
even as the available supply of real silver gets tighter and tighter.
*ut what better way of keeping the con game going even longer than by
soaking up much of the currency that wants to buy silver, then not going out
and buying silver with it7 Cust issue another bit of paper promising silver.
When confidence is lost in these ET8 silver promises and the rush out of
them and all other paper promises of silver all this currency will try and buy
real physical silver bullion but there will not be enough to meet demand.
This is one of the fuses that will ignite the detonators that we will now look
at.............
The detonators.
$ow we have established the fuses for the silver boom, lets talk about the
detonators. These are a series of likely events that will ignite the fuses we
,ust talked about.
!tockpiling.
When commercial users sense a coming shortage in silver, they will no
longer follow the ,ust in time inventory they usually follow. They will want
to protect their interests by stockpiling the silver they need to get ahead of
the competition so they will not e'perience delays due to not being able to
produce their products any more. %t the moment there have been rumours of
%pple and other companies delaying some products because of wait times
for the silver they need being longer than before. There are actually a
waiting lists for silver as soon as its mined it goes to whoever is highest on
the list. %ll the worlds once large stockpiles of silver have been depleted.
The longer the price stays so low the longer the waiting lists. The moment
one of these companies decides to stockpile large amounts of silver
inventory instead of relying on ,ust in time inventory, it will be game over
for the manipulation.
Interestingly, it wont be %pple that stockpiles silver when the shortages
become wider spread There are not many manufacturers in the West
compared to the East. %pple doesnt manufacture anything. It will be large
entities from the East mainly Capan and (hina like 8o'conn, (ompal,
Uuanta, Wistron, !ony, &itsubishi, =amaha, "anasonic, !amsung etc. There
are literally hundred of large powerful companies that need silver in large
?uantities to maintain their wealth and power. %nd they are all competing
with each other. These are the companies that actually manufacture
electronics. %pple is more of a design house. %lso interesting is that all
these manufacturers are in Capan, Taiwan, (hina, and !outh ;orea... so thats
where the silver will flow and where the stockpiling will happen when this
scenario comes to pass.

Ive read of large flows of gold and silver going to the East. This is a wealth
transfer from West to East, but it will not manifest itself until the end of the
temporary unbacked international monetary system. Then the monetary
precious metals gold and silver will repeat the same cycle they always
repeat. They will revalue to account for all the units of currency in the
worlds supply. Then all the power will follow the flow of gold and silver
from the West to the East.
*ut doesnt it make you think, what is the real reason why some wealthy
entity has not yet tried to take a large position in physical silver7 Why has
not any one tried to do what the Dunt brothers tried but learnt from their
mistakes stay away from paper.
If the Dunts were 211< physical they would have won. %nd it would be far
easier to do today because there is even less silver than when the Dunts tried
it. The only reason they lost was because they were not 211< physical
silver. They had large paper promises to deliver silver which were broken
promises and thats why they lost and went bankrupt.

It could happen again from any group or wealthy institution or individuals.
%ny one at any time could once again try what the Dunts tried, but this time
learn from their mistake.
In this day and age that type of move would be labeled as an act of financial
terrorism.
They can label it whatever they want they cant stop it.
I was watching #prah the other day and she was talking about flash
mobbing. This event where thousands of people get together to do
something all at the same time. The advent of the internet has made these
trends not only possible but more probable to continue.
#ne e'ample was thousands of people dancing together all around the world
at the same time. It would be >pm in $=. $ear to noon in Europe :am in
Capan and several thousand people would be dancing together at the same
time with the same movements.
Why are these occurrences becoming more common7 These people do not
speak the same language are not of the same backrounds. $o one asked if
they were black, white or %sian. $o one cared they were ,ust wanting to be a
part of something.
I think we are seeing more of these spontaneous events. =es its planned
usually the idea is put out on facebook, then youtube and it goes viral. *ut
the idea was spontaneous. "eople are synchronising themselves with one
another for a greater purpose. This is like a dress rehearsal for the big
production that is taking shape on the global platform.
The flash mobbing demonstrates that the barriers are gone. "eople are
connecting with each other around the world at any time without any
problems even if they dont speak the same languages.
There is nothing more powerful than an idea whos time has come.
*ack in 2:E1 people did not have the internet. The last bull market in silver
was caused by only the people of -!% and Western Europe buying silver. If
the word spread as it could today that the common people want to put an end
to the financial crisis by simply buying silver and taking it off the market,
then maybe the Dunts could have been successful back them. They could
have ended the international monetary system that started in 2:>2. *ut the
idea did not spread around the world and the temporary system did not end
back then it has lasted right to our day.
There have been a few small attempts to get people to buy silver to end the
manipulation. There was the crash C"&organ buy silver campaign but not
enough real silver was taken off the market. &ost were still trusting and
buying paper promises like ET8s which of course will not crash the system
it ,ust empowers it to last longer.
Then there was the &ay 2st 0123 campaign to get everyone to buy silver
around the world to try and end the manipulation. %gain not enough of the
population of the planet got involved to make much difference. The !ilver
!tory has not changed. It is the most undervalued asset in the history of the
world and will continue to be so until the market rigging ends.
Cack Lew can sit on the price for as long as he wants...WE ;$#W it will not
stay down forever and we have positioned ourselves for the end of
manipulation. "hysical !ilver in your own possession is the way to go. The
more people who understand this and act on it, taking silver off the market
the sooner the end of the manipulation will come.
(ould there be a flash mob type event like the #ccupy movement where we
the common people lose faith in paper currency and all want to buy silver at
the same time thus ending the manipulation7
In %sia there are more billionaires then ever before. If a few of them got
together and tried to take off the market as many 2111o5 silver bars as they
could how could they be stopped7 They could end the temporary system and
come out the other side as the most wealthy individuals on Earth.
UuestionB Dow many people in the world do you think have more than 2111
ounces of physical silver in their possession7
There are about > billion people on the planet.
!ome sources indicate there has been a total of G1 to F1 billion o5 of silver
mined throughout history. The estimates I found indicate that about 0.E
billion of those ounces of silver remain in the world that have not yet been
consumed, and this is considered by others to be an e'tremely high estimate
9some claim the total is only about 2 billion o5). *ut lets stay conservative
and assume there is actually 0.E billion o5 silver remaining in available
stockpiles.
If those numbers are even close then it would only take about 0.E million
people with 2,111 ounces each to own all of the available silver in the world.
That would be about 1.1G< of the world population.
*ut obviously there are lots of people with some amount of silver but less
than 2,111 o5 ... so my guess is the percent of people in the world with more
than 2,111 o5 of silver is less than 1.12<
!o even if the silver estimate is off by a factor of 21 ... lets assume there is
0E billion o5 of available silver in the world ... then it would still be only
around 1.21< of the world population.
The fact is there is very little silver left compared with the growing world
population.
!ay if ,ust 1.12< of the population started buying silver regularly as this
book suggests. 1.12< of the population I >1 million people. Thats still a lot
of people. Lets say that 2111 ounces I being a billionaire in the ne't
paradigm after the temporary system ends. %ccording to 8orbes there are
only 2G0J billionaires today. We know this list doesnt include the
trillionairs. *ut any one of these could easily buy up all the available silver
they could get their hands on and succeed where the Dunt brothers failed in
the >1s.
The lower the paper price goes the more chance something like this could
happen. &ost probably from the East or middle East. There were some
billionaires in the middle East were going to do the same thing as the Dunts
at the same time as the Dunts attempt in the >1s, but for whatever reason
they didnt see it through. What reason do you think they did not buy a large
amount of silver7 Whoever convinced them not to may not be so convincing
this time around.
It could happen again at any time, there is a lot less silver bullion available
than 2:E1 and a lot more units of currency looking for somewhere safe in
the world.
Large buyers.
!o in the late >1s the Dunt brothers became large buyers of silver which
helped to drive the price up to +F1o5 back then. The mistake they made was
not buying real silver instead they bought a lot of paper promises of which
there can be an infinite supply added to the market at any time. They failed
to end the manipulation because they bought a lot of paper not real. *ut
today there is a lot less silver bullion available than back then. Today there is
a lot more population on the planet and a lot, lot, lot more units of currency
yet the price of silver is less than half what the non inflation ad,usted price
was in 2:E1 when it was +F1o5. If they or another rich entity or entities tried
to do the same thing today it would be far easier to succeed where the Dunts
failed.
If you ask most precious metal dealers today 4I would like to put a million
units of currency into a monetary precious metal please4 They could almost
certainly fulfill your order if you choose gold right there and then. *ecause
gold bullion is not that rare compared to silver bullion and compared to the
temporary out of whack values given to each monetary "& at the moment
in units of fiat currency.
*ut if that million units wanted to flow into silver bullion instead, then you
would have to go onto a waiting list. It would almost certainly take a while
to fullfill your order. =ou would have to wait for it to be mined. =ou would
be getting around J1' more ounces 9at time of writing) of monetary precious
metal and silver bullion is a lot more rare in this world than gold bullion.
That is ,ust a paltry million units of currency, imagine someone tried it with
a hundred million or more7 There are many billionaires in the world who are
very well aware of the rarity of silver bullion compered to gold bullion.
*ut theres a reason some of the wealthiest men like *ill )ross, Warren
*uffett, )eorge !oros, and *ill )ates wanted to have put a lot of their
wealth into silver but simply could not... and the reason is..... there is not
enough silver available to soak up that much currency. They each tried it, but
for some unknown reason did not put more than even 1.12< or something
like that of their wealth into silver bullion. I think the reason they did not
buy any more was because it simply was not available and if the truth got
out it would end the global financial system as we know it.
!ometime, somewhere someone will try to take a very large amount of
physical silver off the market and there will not be enough silver available to
meet that demand. When truth gets out the silver price manipulation will be
over and paper promises of silver bullion will go to nothing as everyone tries
to sell them and go on waiting lists for real silver bullion to be delivered.
This will end the temporary international monetary system that started in >2.
There are now far more billionaires in the world than ever before, and
countless more millionaires. There is ,ust not enough silver bullion available
if only a few of these got together and did what the hunts tried to do in the
>1s.
Warren *uffet did try to take a large position in silver a few decades after the
hunts tried it, but as the price started to take off someone was supposed to
have got to him. De was persuaded to stop buying silver and sell it all.
Looking at the silver chart that moment in time is now referred to as the
buffet blip. De now talks down silver and gold even though his father always
knew about the monetary cycle repeating through history.
!peaking of Warren *uffet and his big silver purchase, why did the ultimate
value investor get into silver in such a big way7 The bigger ?uestion is why
the ultimate Lbuy and holdM investor got scared out of his position. De
bought 231 million ounces or 2@F of the worldKs inventory at the time in
2::> and he held that position all the way until 011J. (oincidentally that is
the e'act same time that *arclayKs started the !LH ET8 with 231 million o5.
The only comment I ever found disclosing what happened with this billion
dollar trade was *uffet saying, LI bought it very early, I sold it very early.
#ther than that it was perfect.M
What I am about to say I have no proof of, but I feel would make a lot of
sense. Warren *uffet was heavily involved in the %I) scandal with Dank
)reenberg. *uffetKs )eneral /e took the other side of a lot of shady %I)Ks
positions. The deals ended Dank )reenberg in 011F and yet *uffet escaped
with a +F1 million slap on the wrist7 This was all before %I) stole +2EJ
*illion dollars in the big bankster bailout. Is it out of the realm of possibility
to say that *uffet was feeling the heat and offered the Elitist insiders his
stash of silver to get out of the kitchen7 The timing and situation is way too
coincidental.
8riends donKt let friends buy !LH. I have to admit I was so e'cited when
!LH came out onto the market in 011J. I loved the idea of buying physical
silver with the ease of buying a stock. It did not take long for the rumours to
come out that there was not enough physical backing of real silver and that
C" &organ and D!*( was the custodians of the silver, I knew this was a
scam to syphon off investment demand out of the physical metal into
another paper "on5i scheme. !LH in a few short years has increased its
LreservesM 2J ' the original stock at its inception. When I see that !LH can
add F03 tonnes in one week and the price of silver did not go to +2,111
overnight, it confirmed my suspicions. They can ,ust type in the numbers
and poof they ,ust created another F03 tonnes of silver out of thin air. The
only trouble is these are paper promises for future delivery, and there are
hundreds of ounces promised on paper to every ounce of real silver bullion
available.
Why are not other *illionaires in the silver market yet7
*uffet and other billionaires like him have too many units of currency to
want this system to come to an end. Even Cim /ogers who wrote a book
called hot commodities looked at every commodity for investment and the
fundamentals in depth. !ilver was purposefully left out. !ilver is massively
under reported in the media vs. )old. Why do you think Cim /ogers, the
commodity guru, would purposefully ignore !ilver entirely in his best
selling book 4Dot (ommodities4 even though !ilver e'ceeds all other
commodities using his metrics on what makes a strong commodity for
investment7
*rotherCohn8 does an e'cellent ,ob as usual with his silver cowards video he
released in $ov 0123. De calls out all the billionaires who are afraid of
silver. Cim /ogers is the most interesting silver coward with his book hot
commodities. The picture on the front has gold bars then copper pipes 9not
bullion which would show copper is also money) along with other
commodities. De does not have any platinum or palladium bars on display in
case they are mistaken for silver.
In the book he talks about gold, copper, platinum and palladium but
purposefully ignors silver. Its blatantly obvious that silver is ignored or
edited out before release, even though it is the one commodity that most of
all fits all his criteria for usefulness and rarity or supply@demand what to
look for when investing in commodities.
In the introduction he talks about resource scarcity so supply decreasing and
demand increasing and what to look for in a commodity to invest in. Then
the last paragraph in the intro he says........ 4I have learned that when you
have done your homework, once you recogni5e that supply and demand is
totally out of whack, and you make your move, you are definitely going to
get very lucky. This my friends is one of those times.4
I noted he said the other day in an interview he would buy silver over gold at
these levels, got me wondering is he ready to make his move as he says in
his book. *ut there is not enough silver bullion available for even a fraction
of his wealth to go into.
/ogers says an interesting thing on page FG half way down he says 4=ou
probably know someone who has some gold and silver bars or bags of gold
and silver coins stashed. *ut where would you stash +F1,111 worth of
copper74
De is saying you have to buy paper promises or derivatives of some kind if
you want to invest these commodities of which there is an infinite supply.
While that is true that you can not take possession of lots of oil, corn, salt,
sugar or pork bellies you could easily take possession of real physical gold
and silver, and for small time investors like me copper too. %s I say in my
urban mining chapter in the -; you could stack every 2 ton of copper
bullion rounds for O31F1 in 2p and 0p copper coins.
*ut because of the low value density of copper and the fact that other
commodities can not easily be physically taken off the market by private
investors, this gives gold and silver a very clear advantage. &ore and more
investors are not trusting paper promises and derivatives because there is an
e'panding infinite supply of paper derivatives. Investors want the actual
commodity in their possession taking it off the available market. Then there
are no more charges to pay every year and no risk of the deriatives bubble
popping. =ou can not do this with nearly all commodities apart from gold
and silver and for small time investors maybe copper but not as easy as the
two monetary precious metals.
The problem is there is not enough silver available for all those units of
currency to go into. If one of these billionaires tried to buy as much silver as
they could they would find only a fraction of their wealth would go into the
tiny amount of silver bullion they could buy which would end the
manipulation and they would lose the rest of their wealth that could not flow
into silver because it ran out as currency goes to nothing.
&aybe this e'plains why /ogers has lately said he does not believe gold and
silver are manipulated. %t first I was shocked and disappointed someone like
him could say the lies he says like that but now I understand of course he
doesnt believe what he says in the public domain. "eople like /ogers and
*uffet have too much to lose at the moment if the manipulation ends. %s we
slowly see the temporary system fall apart and unravel further some rich
entity will be first to move into silver bullion. =es they will lose a lot of the
rest of their wealth that they could not buy silver with because it was ,ust not
available. If a small proportion of their wealth goes into the last of the silver
bullion available the rest of their wealth measured in units of currency will
go down a long way, but that is unavoidable as the temporary system comes
to an end. There is simply not enough silver bullion left for all the units of
currency to move into.
I suspect it will be a large group of buyers from the East, rather than wealthy
individuals from the West like last time when the Dunts tried this. *ut it
could be a very much larger group of smaller investors like me and you from
all around the world that end up successfully doing what the Dunts failed to
do, take enough real silver bullion off the market to end the temporary
monetary system.
!ome people talk about +F111 o5 silver sometime in the future. This F;
silver statement was ,ust making a point the market is too small for big
players. %t +F; per ounce the pool of yearly silver is worth 3 plus trillion
dollars. Thats big enough for a lot of large fish to swim in. Where we are
right now many of the big fish are larger than the entire pond. Its simple
math. I personally think the temporary system will end before then and this
will be the sort of value of silver in the new system whatever replaces this
temporary one. Then the big fish will be those who are in possession of real
silver bullion not paper.
&utual 8unds
8or centuries 9 well thousands of years actually) many recommended putting
at least 21< of your net worth into gold and silver bullion. Today investment
institutions have forgotten this rule. ::.::< of investment units of currency
in the world is not yet in silver bullion. %s the monetary cycle repeats it will
become increasingly clearer that currency is on its way to 5ero and money .
gold and silver will be freed from their manipulation and will find their true
free market values. #nce smart mutual funds and other investment funds
start to add gold and silver bullion to their mi', they will see silver potential
for superior gains as the price has not yet caught up with gold.
8uture media.
#f the over > billion people in the world only a tiny percentage that is
estimated to be less than 1.F< are buying silver bullion regularly. When the
facts about silver bullion being more rare than gold bullion, and the fact that
silver is F1 times cheaper than gold becomes common knowledge it will be
front page news. Then the awareness of the silver manipulation will become
something that was one in every million people know about to something
everyone is talking about.
The public perception.
When the general public of the world finally awakens from its coma and
comes charging in, it will correctly reason that +F1 silver can more easily go
up than +0111 gold. !ilver is a giffen good. % )iffen good is one which
people parado'ically consume more of as the price rises, violating the law of
demand. &eaning as the price rises more people rush in and demand goes up
even more. While silver is still so cheap people dont like it because you get
too much for your currency. The point is that people often think that the
cheaper something is in terms of units of currency, the less value it is. That is
not always the case and that perception at least when it comes to real silver
bullion will change.
(ould a billionaire or a group of very wealthy individuals corner the market
in silver or any other commodity, these days7 =es there is so much supply
now of units of fiat currency flooding the world, and this supply is
e'panding on an e'ponential scale. %ll around the world the worlds supply
is e'panding every month.
Where will all these ?uadrillions of units flow to7 Where will the inflation
end up7
%t the moment they seem to be flooding into stocks and bonds and paper
assets, which is why paper promises are in such a big bubble.
(ould the bubble soak up even more ?uadrillions of units or will this make
the bubble burst and if so where would all the units of currency flow7
Would people look for something real and safe to invest in7 (ould any
commodity go into a bubble7 What if someone or groups of individuals tries
to corner the market in a commodity like silver, or another commodity7
(ould that commodity go into a bubble then pop7 =es but with silver the
bubble would not pop, why7
The bubble not popping (ant happen with any other commodity, because
anything else has a self correcting mechanism, as the price takes off more
supply will flood the market. Take cotton or wheat or another metal or any
commodity. If the price went up a lot then many people would get into
producing or mining more of it. The market would soon be flooded with it.
%nd as the price goes so high less people would be buying it.
With silver it is a giffen good which means as the price goes up investment
demand actually goes up with it and more people want to buy it.
%lso industrial use is not affected because such a tiny amount is used in each
application. If a tenth of an ounce is used in a certain application, and the
product sells for +21. %t the moment the price is +01 per ounce so the silver
part of the cost of producing it is 01c, if silver goes to +011o5 then the silver
part of the product would cost +0. !o the price would need to go up to +20
per product, which is not much and would not stop people buying it or
producers producing it.
What about the fact that when the price goes up the market is flooded by
many producing or mining it7 This could happen to a certain e'tent with
silver, but most mines are now depleted. %nd it takes yrs to start a new silver
mine. $ot many companies are prospecting or looking to open new silver
mines because the price has been suppressed for so long.
There is also not that many of the > billion population of the world who have
silver to sell into the market. !o not much can come from stockpiles because
worldwide stockpiles are at all time lows, they have mostly been depleted.
%nd here is the best part. %ny one of these detonators or fuses could cause
the supply of physical silver to become nearly non.e'istent. When that
happens all those paper promises will be sold in a fren5y and all that
currency will try and buy the last of the real silver bullion that will ignite a
silver value e'plosion bigger than ever imaginable.
The silver safety net.
#ne last thing about silver as an investment is it has a built in safety net, at
least at todays low prices. since I have been buying silver from OF o5 in late
011E, I then saw the price rise all the way to +F1 o5 in 0122 to then see it be
suppressed all the way down to the under +01s in the 0123 smackdown. I
have never bought anything other than real silver bullion to take off the
market, never any paper promise of silver or mining stock. %s I have
watched the prices rise and fall, the mining companies still dont show a
profit even when the prices of silver have risen.
This is an important point to understand because in a world that is running
out of silver, one of the most sort after industrial metals, it is impossible to
sustain pricing that is below the cost of production for the ma,ority of
producers. the price can not stay down here. It must eventually rise
significantly if supply of real silver 9not paper promises) is to meet the
increasing demand of the future. you can not build circuit boards with paper
promises of silver.
!o where do I think the price of silver will go7 That does not interest me as
much as the value of real silver. "rice means nothing value is everything.
I can honestly say that silver is e'tremely undervalued at the present time.
/emember that for most of the J111yrs of human history this monetary
cycle has repeated going from money over to currency then repeating. When
the part of the cycle was using money as a monetary system, one ounce of
gold bought about the same as 2J ounces of silver. this was the natural ratio
they were being produced at so the free market found their monetary ratio to
be this natural ratio.
$ow here is the e'citing part. !ilver is getting depleted coming out of the
ground so the natural ratio has halved to EB2 while the price is over F1B2.
)iven enough time values always revert to the long term mean. *ut when
something is severely out of whack, it usually overshoots on the correction.
The longer and further out of whack it is the further it will overshoot.
8or a long time now the silver to gold ratio has been further out of whack
than anything e'perts have ever heard of. =ou can safely bet that when a run
on silver happens this ratio will come screaming back. I am confident when
this happens it will snap way past the historical average of 2JB2. and because
there is now less silver bullion than gold bullion for investors to buy I agree
with the many who believe that silvers value will go so far as to meet or
e'ceed that of gold. This is why I think silver truely is a "/E(I#-!
monetary metal.
(hapter >. "reparation.
We have looked at why the need to prepare, now the rest of this book is how
to prepare.
4%ssume the worst, hope for the best, and be prepared for whatever
happens.4 Aave %uthor.
Dow to prepare B the G *s B *ible, *eans, *ullion and *ullets.
In that order. 8irst priority is understanding the truth from the *ible. This is
the best advice anywhere because its from our designer and creator. The
advice never changes because it was the best in the first place. &any so
called e'perts who write books later change their mind, including dare I say
it this very author. Im sure I will revise some thoughts in this book over the
years. Thats the difference with the *ible its the only book ever not written
by humans it was written by )od.
$e't is having food and water stored before a crisis, more on that ne't
chapter. #nce you understand about monetary history the ne't priority is to
turn your depreciating paper or digital currency units into real money, the
ne't * is for bullion, specifically silver bullion. !ilver, ne't to oil, is the
single most important commodity and strategic resource on the planet. Take
your boat out of the financial water before the storm hits. This means selling
%LL of any paper investments of any kind including retirement funds you
have and ordering real bullion that you take delivery of. Last of all is bullets,
well in the -; guns are highly illegal and that makes it a great place to live,
there are hardly any guns compared to other countries. %ir rifles are legal
and pellets can be bought or made very cheaply. &odern "(" air rifles can
be ?uickfire multishot semi automatic with infra.red sighting and much
better value than other firearms that need bullets. Instead of gunpowder your
using air which is free. =ou can get a good hand pump to fill your
compressed air cartridges and use them for hunting, as well as your trapping
for meat. =ou can carry 2111 rounds in your pockets and at very low cost
compared to other firearms and ammo. %lso a slide.on attachment for %pple
i"hone or %ndroid like the )ala'y range that gives you thermal imaging.
This can be attached to your scope for finding body heat of game prey
hidden in bushed and trees. It can also be used for finding people in the
darkness.
% tactical lamp @ laser can also be fitted for going lamping, the lamp makes it
easy. =ou can fi' your night vision scope then it can also be used for self
defence as well as hunting especially if using home made e'ploding ammo
which is ideal for home defence 9read more on this later), although not lethal
well not likely to be fatal but will cause serious damage and more
importantly fright which is what I want because I do not want to kill anyone
,ust scare them away, so would much more be inclined to use it over another
firearm. % few shots in ?uick succession should be enough to make any
intruders think again about not turning around and never coming back.
!o the first * is for *ible and is by far the most important. If you have not
already studied the *ible and even if you have in the past I strongly
encourage everyone to arrange a free home *ible study course. If you log on
to CW.org almost where ever you are in the world a free home *ible study
can be arranged. In over G11 languages someone can meet with you and
regularly study the truth with you for free with no obligations. This sounds
too good to be true but it really is true almost anywhere in the world in any
language, &aybe stealthily in places like $,;orea and a few other paces but
this is the only organisation who can do this globally in any language for
free with no obligation. Cust as was prophesied in the *ible when it says in
&att 0GB2G this good news will be preached in the entire inhabited Earth.
(hris Auane was the originator of the silver bullet against those causing the
global crisis and the silver shield to protect yourself from the coming
collapse and he started the silver bullet silver shield movement.
De says what you need to concentrate on are . real friends, real skills and
real assets. %s apposed to virtual friends, virtual assets and virtual skills
9computer only).
/eal friends are those you can talk to happily for hours until the early hours.
8riends that you can trust. $ot facebook friends who you do not interact
with in the real world. The reality of the whole 8ace book e'perience, is that
it never really seemed real. Aespite how many friends you may have on
8ace book or similar program, the fact is were very lucky to have a handful
of real friends in our lives. Daving more superficial Qlook at meK contact
with others, does not improve our lives. If anything, it detracts from it, as
life becomes less human. LL#LM pales in comparison to the real laugh out
loud of sharing e'perience with a friend. The more LL#LsM we share online,
the less it means. !ooner or later everything is ,ust an electronic dance of
acronyms trying to fulfil some missing part of your soul.
8riendships where you both share a love of the truth and the only true )od
are the deepest. Cesus said this is how you will know who his true followers
are in the time of the end. De said those who have a love among themselves.
This would be a way of identifying the only true religion. There is only one
global true religion in all the inhabited Earth made up of every national
group that are truly united and truly have love among themselves. They are
the only ones doing what Cesus said to 4go therefore and make disciples of
people of every nation.4 !o ne't time they knock on your door take the time
to listen to what they say. #r go to CW.org and arrange to talk to someone.
#nce you have real friends, it is time to get real skills to be self reliant in a
simple balanced way. /eal skills now are crucial. It is too late when the
temporary international monetary system started in >2 ends and the supply
chains are affected for who knows how long. ;nowledge and e'perience
you hold between your ears is transportable and can never be taken from
you. %s I often say in this book be prepared for everything to be taken from
you, you could lose everything in the coming collapse. *ut nobody can take
your knowledge and e'perience. %s its held between your ears it is
transportable so in the event you are a refugee or similar situation you may
not be able to take anything with you. =our knowledge is always with you,
in the event you are down to what you can take on your back, you are
limited but there is no limit to what you can take in your brain. #ur creator
has designed our brains to be able to store an infinite amount of data so use
as much of it as you can.
I place an emphasis on traditional skills as we practice in our weekly training
routine. These are skills you can learn free of charge by study and practice.
These skills are real and will always be useful no matter what happens or
how bad things get. &ost modern skills are useless these days if the electric
grid goes down or is unreliable in the coming perfect economic storm. =ou
need real skills in a simple balanced self reliant way, not virtual skills
computer only, get real skills.
The ma,ority of us have no real skill to produce real wealth. This consumer
debt paradigm has warped our economy that the ma,ority of the ,obs are
shuffling paper, products or people. There are plenty of computer game
makers or software makers but less than 0< now fishermen or farmers. Less
than 0< of the population of the Earth are feeding the other :E<. !tart doing
something that either harvests commodities like farming, logging or fishing
or adds value to those commodities to make products. 8ind things that you
love doing and you are naturally inclined to do. =ou do not have to ?uit your
current ,ob, but you should start honing your post temporary system collapse
skills while the lights are still on. &entor with people who are doing things
you would like to learn. %t the very least it will put you into a circle of
people that actually do things that have value.
I go into the skills my family are practicing later in the book, ,ust to wet
your appetite before you get there, here is our weekly training routine we try
to fit in on top of work and school. We do.....!helter &ondays, Water
Tuesdays, (ordage@trapping Wednesdays, $avigation@Tracking Thursdays,
Dunting 8ridays, 8oraging !aturdays and Wild 8ood !unday Ainner "arty.
*ecause far better than storing food, would be being confident in your
abilities to be able to hunt and forage. We do still have long term storage but
do not rely on them. That is what simple balanced self reliance is all about.
!upplies could be lost or taken from you, well trained skills can never be
taken from you.
Which is why we do these weekly practice sessions as a family living a
simple balanced self.reliant life.
!upport local businesses. When the temporary system collapses, life will
move on and it will be the local businesses that will respond the fastest to
the changing environment. *y getting to know those at your local farm
market, coin store, electrician, plumber you will be farther ahead of the
curve when you really need them. This also acts as a way to keep your
money in your community. !top eating at corporate chains and support local
business owners. Even if it means it costs more. The benefit of money being
localised will be a huge benefit. Educate them about owning and accepting
silver for payment.
Look for ways to adapt current paradigm ,obs into ne't paradigm
opportunities. 8ood and fuel will be the two most important things people
will sacrifice the most for. Look for ways of continuing the supply when the
temporary system collapses. Establish relationships with small food and
fuel producers. 8ind ways for using silver as a means of facilitating trade
when their world is flipped upside down with a temporary system collapse.
/ead the chapter in this book about WH# fuel and educate yourself about
how to use it. !o you could then teach others.
!o that is about real friends and real skills now you need real assets.
*uying physical silver is by far the greatest act of wisdom and rebellion
anyone can and should be doing right now. It is both a !ilver *ullet to rebel
against the corrupt system and a !ilver !hield to protect your family and
wealth in a post. temporary system world. *uying physical silver is non.
violent, non.compliant resistance. &ost importantly, it works outside of the
system and it cannot be stopped.
!ilver is used in such small ?uantities and its uni?ue characteristics make it
irreplaceable, this makes its price inelastic. %ll commodities have a self
correcting pricing mechanism, e'cept silver. If a commodities price rises too
high demand drops off as people seek substitutes or supply rises to meet the
demand and thus lowering the price. This does not e'ist with silver. !ilver is
used in such small ?uantities in high tech components and there is $#
!-*!TIT-TE for it. The manufacturer or customer will absorb the price
increase. %s I talk about often !ilver is now starting to be used in clothing to
reduce smells caused by bacteria. What is remarkable about this is that by
weight silver only represents 2@G1,111th of total inputs. When used in such
little ?uantities price is irrelevant. With over 01 million tons of polyester
sports wear produced every year it consumes 2,011 tons of silver or 3E
million ounces. LetKs say for e'ample that the average computer has a 2@21th
of an ounce of silver in it. 9I cannot find how much is actually in a computer,
)oogle fail.) This means that there is +3 dollars of silver in the +0,111
computer. If@when silver goes to +2,111 an ounce now that same amount of
silver will be +211. Ao you think %pple computer is going to throw its arms
in the air and cry that they have to not sell computers because silver is too
e'pensive7 $o, they will raise the price of the computer and probably
advertise that it has the most silver in it. Ao you think the average consumer
is going to say, LI would buy a computer at +0,111 but at +0,211 no way76M
$o, they will find a way to get that +211 so they can the latest celeb news.
The ne't * in the G *s after *ible is for beans but not ,ust beans for a
balanced diet, we will look more at bullion and bullets later but now lets talk
about 8ood.
&ilton 8riedman, through a book of that title, foolishly popularised the
phrase QThereKs no such thing as a free lunchK. It is instantly obvious to
anyone with half their wits about them that &ilton spent much too much
time reading economics te'tbooks and no time at all taking strolls through
the woods foraging food. I do like reading all of &iltons books he correctly
says silver is the ma,or monetary metal not gold.
*ut I disagree wholeheartedly with &ilton and indeed most economists
today when they say things like there is no such thing as a free lunch. They
try to say you have to be involved in the consumer monetary system the
governments want you to use. I disagree 211<.
I am well aware that some of this information is outside most peoples
comfort 5one. The fact that I am teaching my kids to be self reliant when it
comes to food, and teaching them that the food industry is now a corporate
giant who does not want you to be able to provide food for yourself in a
simple balanced self reliant way. They do not want you to know that the
?uality of food is lowering, that most people today have lost the ability to
feed themselves and now have to rely on others producing their food and
they go and buy it with units of currency. This is the first time in human
history that mankind is being brought up to not be able to identify and
provide real food for themselves. &ost people genuinely do believe &ilton
8reeman that there is no such thing as a free lunch, they would starve due to
educational deficiency if the distribution chain was interrupted for some
reason. 4That will never happen, there will always be enough food
resupplied to my local supermarket64 Lets hope that is the case, I can not say
for certain. *ut what I can say for certain is that this monetary cycle has
repeated through history where the monetary system goes from the two
monetary precious metals over to currency and then ends badly, then starts
again back to the two monetary "&s. This is a historical fact that can not be
argued with. It is also a fact that when currencies come to an end it always
ends very badly. Dow it will go this time is uncertain, but I would say its
unlikely to go smoothly. I would also say this temporary system that was
started in 2:>2 is rapidly coming to an end. &y best guess is sometime in
the ne't 21yrs the temporary system will come to an end, but they will do
everything they can to keep this system on life support but every time they
postpone the inevitable it makes it worse when the collapse comes.
I disagree with the likes of &ilton 8reeman on this but not on everything, as
I said he often said silver has a longer monetary history than gold and that
silver was more used as money than gold has been. De also speaks the truth
about unbacked currency.
*ut most other economists today are not well educated in monetary history,
they do not even know the difference between money and currency.
9Lies, damn lies and economic forecasts)
Duman beings are lousy at predicting the future. %nd economists are even
worse. Their fancy computer models and spreadsheets arent very useful. =et
it doesnt stop lots of very clever people pretending that they can tell us
whatKs going to happen. !ince the global financial crisis started there have
been these same economists saying gold and silver are in a bubble and the
bubble will soon burst all the way up from half todays prices, they will still
be saying the same thing when gold and silver are double again.
%t the same time saying recovery in the economy will be here soon. They
even have the nerve to say they were right about recovery and now its
another dip, saying double dip or even triple@?uadruple dip. Ao they not see
its the same dip and the bubble is in fiat currencies not monetary "&s and
the currencies will keep going down in value as the supplies get e'panded
and gold and silver will keep going up.
The only recovery going on in the world right now is the recovery of real
bullion instead of paper promises. There is no recovery of the dying fiat
temporary international monetary system. The economists are very wrong
and in fact the opposite is true.
The global trend of nations LrepatriatingM their gold reserves from the
custodial vaults where it has long been stored continues. The issue is the
near certainty that not all the gold recorded to be held in the bullion banks is
really there. &uch of it has been pledged and repledged against the debt that
keeps the worldKs monetary system afloat. The more physical gold that is
reclaimed and delivered so recovered to sovereign treasuries, the less that
remains to back up all the pledges. When the chips are called in, many of
those who believe they own gold or silver will find themselves holding
nothing but pieces of paper. %t that point, Lprice will solve everything.M
"rices of broken paper promises will revalue to almost nothing to their true
intrinsic value and bullion will do the same to its historic value, or even
overshoot on the correction.
8rom when I started this book, Hene5uela was the first nation to demand the
return of its gold held abroad. %t the time Wikileaks shared with the world
the (hinese administrationsK view on gold. The World )old (ouncil is
saying that (hina does plan to be the first to back up their currency the yuan
with gold. !teven Leeb says even now.......
4(hina could 9already) have one of the largest gold reserves in the world,
even ahead of )ermany.4 They are trying to buy gold and silver ?uietly
without pushing the prices up too ?uickly.
!ince those heady days of unmitigated Lrecovery,M we have sunk further into
Lrecovery,M and as e'pected, trust has waned and repatriation of gold has
accelerated. The trend years later is becoming more talked about Lthe same
gold is claimed by multiple owners.M
There will be more shortages in the physical metals, and also the fact that
Western central banks have likely leased out most of their individual gold
bars to more than one party is becoming more common knowledge as paper
gold holders try to recover real bullion. If more than one party has claims on
the same bars who will get it in the end7 The first to successfully recover it
will win and those left with paper will wish they tried harder to recover their
bullion sooner. The age old saying whoever holds the gold makes the rules.
They key words being holds the gold, and not paper promises.
This means there is the very real potential for an e'ponential price move in
physical gold and silver, and most economists have not got a clue about it.
!o as you can probably see, I dont think too much of many economists.
Take this for e'ample. &y family feeling the need to get some fresh air and
stretch our legs, knowing that weKll also be hungry when we come back.
!o we head off to the hedgerows with the willow basket that we thoroughly
en,oyed making earlier, searching for fun adventures and food. %nd oh how
we get both in abundance6 We return home feeling great, having no need for
the gym and all its high technology machines, our lungs brimming full of
country air, with a basket full of the most alive food we will ever have the
pleasure of putting into our bodys. Uuite literally alive in many cases and
still moving.
The economist mindset that believes that there is no such thing as a free
lunch is symptomatic of, and a perpetrator of, an economy that
compartmentalises life into distinct activities, one where the ways in which
you meet your needs must be dour and boring. In the mindset of the simple
balanced self reliant person following the suggestions in this book, you meet
your needs everyday by doing the things you love to do, integrating your
private life, work life and social life into one ine'tricable whole. &y
favourite times are when I am out in $ature planting seeds with my family.
That it ,ust so happens to supply us with all our own dietary needs months
later is a bonus. )ive me the choice between growing food or going to the
cinema, or going on a holiday to some ghastly tourist resort, and my family
will be out playing in our natural habitat every time.
Life doesnt have to be separate and compartmentalised. We could ,ust as
easily design lives that are fluid, lives where we always mi' business with
pleasure.
#n that basis, I hereby refute 8riedmanKs claims and state that _there is such
a thing as a free lunch_. Dow you go about getting such lunches is a bigger
?uestion, and will depend largely on whether you live in an urban or rural
settingR what your philosophies around food areR and how much soil,
hedgerow or woodland you have access to.
I am aware that we live in a very fortunate location where we can get the fast
tube into the centre of the city of London in 0Fmins but with forests and
country side a short walk or cycle ride away from our home. *ut many times
someone who thinks they live in a total urban environment can find the
nearest green land to them and practise at least a little of the suggestions in
this book.
In this ne't section I will introduce various methods for eating for free,
suggesting further reading for each techni?ue 9as some are books in
themselves) so that if one chimes with your practical needs and ideological
stance you can e'plore it in a lot more depth in your own good time. !ome
options will be suitable for urban life, others for rural. The ideal is to
incorporate a number of methods into your food economy, as diversity
builds resilience. In the monetary economy, youKre dependent on the local
supermarket having shelves full of food stocked N if that system failed,
would you have a "lan *7
IKll also look at ways of drinking for free, including the fermented stuff
again e'ploring various options so that we find a solution for everyoneKs
situation.
_8##A_
There are three general ways in which you can eat food for free N wild food
foraging including hunting and trapping, then the various forms of growing
9ideally some "ermaculture approaches I will look at in this chapter), and
liberating edible waste food 9skipping). If you live in the city and this is all
new to you, once you start looking youKll be surprised to realise how much
food there is going unused 9nettles, for e'ample are highly nutritious and
great for adding to your family meal), youKll see growing spaces everywhere
and, if youKre prepared to do it, the bins of supermarkets would keep you
and your friends feasting every night for as long as you wanted.
8rom the produce you get from some mi' of these three methods, you can
also include bartering to the list. This is particularly useful at harvest time if
your allotment or back garden has a glut, or if youKve had a bounty from the
bins, though in such circumstances I prefer to ,ust give it away for free to
friends who will appreciate it. We find by giving away unconditionally we
receive far more back then if we tried to barter this e'cess food.
Wild food foraging
8oraging is defined as the act of looking or searching for food or provisions.
The term is usually used these days in relation to going out harvesting food
from the wilds, which in England usually 9and sadly) means hedgerows,
woods and other areas that have seen minimal human cultivation,
interference and management.
%nyone can go out and forage. There is wild food everywhere, much more
than you would imagine in cities, as long as you know where to go and what
to look for. /ocket and Cack.by.the.hedge, growing through the cracks
between the wall and the footpath, both disappointed about not being pickedR
sumac in your local park waiting to be made into QlemonadeKR and
dandelions crying out to be put into salads. Dowever, I would strongly
recommend learning it by adventuring out with someone very e'perienced
for a period first, unless you are planning to harvest only commonly
recognised species such as the stinging nettle, ramsons 9wild garlic) and
blackberries.
/ichard &abeyKs book 8ood for 8ree is a now a classic te't, but hands.on
e'perience 9and lots of it) is re?uired before you will gain enough
proficiency at it to go eating some of the more obscure plants. "lants that are
to'ic to humans often look very similar to ones that arenKt, as my family
found out when we were younger see the ne't chapter, and only going out
with a very e'perienced forager will give you the confidence you need to eat
well from the wilds. -ntil you become fairly competent at foraging, start
making full use of those plants you do recognise but have never got around
to utilising.
)rowing
%s Aave Damilton, in his book _)row your 8ood for 8reeSwell almost
_points out, Lin terms of food security and biodiversity, ]seed.saving^ is the
most important thing you can ever doM. It also presents us with our best
opportunity to allow plants to evolve and adapt for the future climatic
9including micro.climate) and soil conditions of our geographical region.
Cust as importantly, it really connects you to what is going on during each
season and the effect of meteorological factors on plants, encouraging you to
stay awake to everything that is going on in your garden. for e'ample I love
growing tall corn which provides a natural stucture for the beans to climb.
The beans provide the nitrogen to the soil that is good for all the plants, then
the s?uash spreads along the ground preventing weeds. These three are
known as the three sisters which are perfect to grow together.
If there isnKt one already in your community, why not set up a local seed and
plant swapping group N youKll get to meet other local growers, get access to
a wide range of seeds, and create a supportive network of people who can
advise each other on all aspects of growing.
We have found fellow green fingered enthusiasts love it you complement
them on something they are growing that you like the look of. If you ask the
right way they would love to give you some seeds or a clipping so you can
grow the same thing. When you have an abundance of something it can be
even better to offer a little to anyone who admires your plants. %s I ?uote
many times the greatest teacher and greatest man who ever lived 4there is
more happiness in giving than in receiving.4
_"erennial plants_
Even better than seed saving is growing perennial plants. The definition of a
perennial vegetable is a source of constant debate amongst the green.
fingered, but it is generally accepted as plants that live for two or more
years. %s (harles Aowding notes, Lperennial vegetables grow again, every
year, from roots that survive over winter. There is no need to start again in
the spring, and early crops are assured, growing vigorously while newly
sown seedlings of annual vegetables are only ,ust underway.M If grown using
methods such as forest gardening or no.dig, there are even more time,
fertility and energy saving benefits. (ommonly recognised varieties include
plants such as rhubarb, asparagus, and artichoke, but there is a huge list to
choose from.%ny gardener who has grown both perennials and annuals
knows how much less work there is with the former. (onsidering that the
simple balanced self reliant world I envisage is one with less drudgery, not
more, this is an important advantage. *ut there are many other advantages
,ust as important. %s "atrick Whitefield points out, they can be used instead
of terracing to protect the soil on steep slopes, generally have a higher
nutritional content 9sometimes at the cost of a little of the flavour our
modern palates have become accustomed to), are generally more resistant to
diseases 9meaning you donKt need to buy in pesticides), and most
importantly for simple balanced self reliant living, they will help you to get
you through what is known as Qthe hungry gapK, that time of year when there
arenKt many annual crops ready to be eaten, a period when we import a lot of
our food from warmer climes. Whitefield also adds that Lthe fact that almost
all the plants in natural ecosystems are perennials suggests intuitively that a
garden of perennials may be more sustainable than one of annualsM.
I would recommend &artin (rawfordKs book Dow to )row "erennial
Hegetables for anyone who wants to eat for free without breaking their back
in the process.
_(losed loop systems_
(losed loop food models are essential to creating simple balanced self
reliant micro.economies. Therefore maintaining the fertility of the soil, so
that it can support you and the rest of life without any need for imported and
industrially produced fertilisers, is very important. &odern agriculture
intensively grows annual crops which rapidly depletes the soil of nutrients,
then replaces this lost fertility using raw materials imported from outside of
that region, often from the other side of the world. These fertilisers include
ingredients such as 5inc, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur 9all finite), and
they are mostly synthesised in a laboratory. In other words, they would not
be possible without the high economies of scale and specialised division of
labour that money allows us.
*eside the well documented ill effects of pesticides 9insecticides, fungicides,
herbicides etc.) on both the egocentric and holistic self, they again have to be
imported into a system from the outside, which means that not only are they
inherently unsustainable.
_#rganics_
% simple balanced self reliant food system needs to be, at the very least,
organic. This is obviously a large sub,ect in itself, but in terms of living a
simple balanced self reliant life, it replaces industrialised fertilisers with soil
improvers such composts and mulches, and pesticides with methods such as
companion planting, crop rotation, slug traps, the utilisation of heirloom
seeds, encouraging beneficial microorganisms and insects through
increasing biodiversity, along with a host of other methods.
There are countless books on organic growing, so if you are a beginner to
gardening then pick one up from the library that best matches your abilities
and needs. 8or making compost N a crucial skill for the self reliant human N
IKd recommend $icky !cottKs Dow to &ake and -se (ompost for a very
comprehensive guide.
-nderstanding organics is at the very heart of simple balanced self reliant
food growing. ItKs lesson 212 in importance from this book. If youKre
seriously considering fully localised living, or ,ust meeting your own needs
in as respectful a way as possible, youKd be wise to get versed and
e'perienced in approaches such as the no.dig method, agroforestry
9including forest gardening), and biodynamics. &y advice would be to do so
either by taking an initial course 9which may cost a little currency) or,
ideally, by finding a farm that has already adopted the approach youKre
interested in and volunteering with them for a period of time.

Derbs and wild plants have many uses in the garden, as companion plants to
enhance growth, attracting beneficial predators and pollinators, as organic
li?uid fertilisers, compost activators and insect repellents. !pray the garden
early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise disturbing bees and
other pollinators.
/ich in nitrogen, potassium, calcium and other important minerals, comfrey
has a chemical composition which is similar to manure. %lthough it is
e'tremely beneficial, it is highly invasive and so it is best to grow it in a part
of the garden where itKs enthusiastic nature will not take over your
vegetables6 The best comfrey is *ocking 2G which is sterile and propagated
from root cuttings, so ask a friend if you can have some of theirs.
%lternatively, wild comfrey 9leaves only) can be gathered whilst foraging.
(omfrey is a superb compost ingredient, adding essential nutrients and
helping the heap to heat up. /esearch has shown that it can reduce
composting times by up to a half. I layer comfrey leaves whilst building the
heap up. $ever add roots or flowers or you may end up with baby comfrey
plants inconveniently popping up everywhere N it is e'tremely difficult to
eradicate, the deep tap root which brings up so many minerals from the
subsoil ensures that even when Qdug outK there is always a piece lurking
which will regrow.
(hopped and used as a green manure or mulch, comfrey is especially
beneficial for fruit bushes and trees. In the vegetable garden the layer of
damp leaves provides a habitat for pests so is best avoided in sluggy -;.
)ather large bunches of leaves during the growing season and dry in a warm
airy place 9I hang mine in my shed). (rushed and stored in sealed bags or
containers, these dried leaves can be added to the compost heap, potting
compost, used to make a feed in winter or sprinkled on top of the soil as a
beneficial enhancer.
% potent and valuable li?uid feed is made simply by filling a container with
leaves and topping up with water 9if you are using dried leaves, half fill the
container). I make mine at the $ew &oon. !tirred occasionally, it is ready
,ust after 8ull &oon, and the waning moon is the best time to use li?uid
feeds. !train into another container 9put the sludge onto the compost heap)
and dilute 2 part feed to 21 parts water. It is very good for tomatoes, melons
and cucumbers and any plants you are growing in pots. Warning6 (omfrey
li?uid smells terrible6 Wear your worst clothes when straining and using.
8amiliar everywhere, the stinging nettle 9_Which I talk about a lot_) is a
wonderful help to the gardener, rich in iron, copper and calcium. Ladybirds,
whose larvae eat hundreds of aphids, lay their eggs on nettle leaves which
also provide a home for the caterpillars of comma, tortoiseshell and peacock
butterflies. $ettles grow too abundantly in the wild to necessitate cultivating
in the gardenB they are very invasive and this is best avoided.
$ettle leaves are an e'cellent compost activator. Either remove the leaves
with a gloved hand before adding to the heap or chop into G inch pieces with
a sharp spade or secateurs, after checking that there are no flowers or roots
which may invade your garden. $ettles can be dried like comfrey for winter
use.
$ettle li?uid feed is an e'cellent fertiliser, helps to build plant resistance to
pests and disease and also can act as an insect repellent. 8ill a container with
nettles at $ew &oon and top up with water, before covering. !tir
occasionally. Cust after 8ull &oon, strain 9adding the sludge to the compost

The leaves and flowers 9not seeds or roots6) of the dandelion can also be
made into a beneficial fertiliser in this manner, or add a handful to the nettles
or comfrey before soaking.
Dorsetail 9_E?uisetum_) is highly invasive and almost impossible to
eradicate so do not introduce into the garden, but the foraged plant makes a
wonderful magnesium rich spray which can be sprayed on the soil or
directly onto plants. *oil one handful of fresh horsetail with 3 cups of water

yarrow actually reduces its potency. )rown in pro'imity with other herbs, it
increases their fragrance and yield, although be wary of its invasive nature.
=arrow can be easily found whilst foraging and grown either from seed or a
piece of root. =arrow further benefits the gardener by attracting hoverflies.

watering and good ventilation). %dd a handful of flowers to 3 cups of hot

coined 4#ne mans pest is another mans lunch46
_*iodynamics_
#riginating out of the work of /udolf !teiner, biodynamic agriculture shares
many of the same principles and methods as other organic production
approaches. =et it differs in two ma,or additional waysB the compost
preparations it advocates 9which includes no less than the urinary bladders of
red deer being stuffed with yarrow blossoms and buried in the earth between
summer and the following spring), and the fact that it takes into
consideration the celestial and terrestrial influences on the plants. It
specifies what time of the month 9i.e. phase of the moon) is best for all
stages of growing N planting, cultivating and harvesting N for each variety of
plant that we grow.
This all sounds wacky at first glance, and biodynamics does receive a lot of
criticism N the fact that it has been proven to be very successful seemingly
being secondary to the fact that science canKt seem to work out e'actly why.
*ecause it views a piece of land holistically, within which all the parts N soil,
people, plants, animals, water N are interdependent and considered in their
relationships to one another, it makes it a particularly useful tool for anyone
wanting to grow their food without any need for e'ternal inputs. If this is a
method youKd like to understand in more depth, IKd recommend Dilary
WrightKs *iodynamic )ardeningB 8or Dealth and Taste, or any other book on
the sub,ect 9especially !teinerKs writings) depending on your previous
knowledge and e'perience of it. *etter still, IKd spend some time
volunteering on a biodynamic farm to understand it in practise.
_8orest )ardening_
#ne wrung down, below wild food is forest gardening. 8orest gardens have
the potential to optimise both vertical and hori5ontal space through their
layered design of trees, shrubs and ground covering vegetation, making them
ideal for small growing spaces in cities.
&artin (rawford describes them as gardens Lmodelled on the structure of
young natural woodland, utilising plants of direct and indirect benefit to
peopleM. This often means edible crops 9fruits and mostly perennial
vegetables), but the useful plants which they have the potential to
abundantly produce can be used for cordage, dyes, firewood, medicinal
purposes, furniture, basketry materials, poles and canes 9useful for normal
gardening), spices, soaps, honey, building materials, salads and herbs,
mushrooms, nuts and seeds and sap products. =ou can see why IKm a fan.
% well designed forest garden ought to be at the core of simple balanced self
reliant living for anyone, regardless of whether they live in a rural or urban
setting. It represents the best closed loop model, outside of the Wilderness,
that I have seen in practise. % very well designed forest garden re?uires little
or no composting or manuring, simply by using multi.purpose plants such as
the autumn olive, a crop I have fallen in love with. $ot only do these
produce great fruit for ,ams, they also ,ust happen to be an e'cellent nitrogen
fi'er for plants living in the layers below them, due to their ability to
Lconvert free air nitrogen into fi'ed nitrogen for eventual plant protein
assimilation and storageM. !upplemented with some annual and wild food
crops, forest gardens will play a central role in the simple balanced self
reliant micro.economies of the future, and they are at the core of how I
intend to meet my needs over the coming years. The only downside is that
they re?uire a long.term perspective towards life 9insofar as that can ever be
a bad thing) N depending on their si5e and the crops planted, they can take
many years to reach maturity, so harvests will be low to begin with 9which
largely e'plains their otherwise ine'plicable absence from the hundreds of
thousands of under.utilised gardens of rented accommodation in cities).

_&artin (rawford is Airector of the %groforestry /esearch Trust. _ _Dis

Hegetables_
%groforestry is the growing of trees or shrubs with other agricultural crops.
It can range from lines of trees intercropped with a cereal like wheat, to fully
integrated forest garden systems incorporating trees, shrubs and perennial
crops in a self.sustaining system. #ver the last few hundred years almost all
the research and agricultural effort has been focussed on annual plants, to the
e'tent that most of the worldKs population depends on them. This wasnKt
always the case, though, and many people have forgotten that the mass
growing of annuals on a field scale is never going to be sustainable because
they take a huge amount of energy to grow. %s long as energy is cheap and
available they can continue their dominance N but it is clear now that energy
is not going to remain cheap for much longer.
We need to move much more towards perennial crops N whether it be tree.
based crops 9for e'ample, nuts to take the place of some of the cereals) or
smaller plants such as perennial onions. In other words, we need a move
towards agroforestry.
"erennial plants, once established, take much less work to maintain than
annuals N you only have to plant once 9in a long while anyway), and most
plants look after themselves with far less susceptibility to pests, diseases or
the vagaries of the weather than annuals.
"erennial plant products are often more nutritious than their annual
counterparts too, because their roots systems are larger and can get more
nutrients out of the soil.
!ustainable growing re?uires a change in attitudes too. %griculture has been
misled into thinking that every bit of ground needs to be productive N in
other words needs to have a crop coming from it. This is never going to be
sustainable. Truly sustainable growing systems must devote a proportion of
the land to plants with QsystemK functions N in other words, plants which
increase the health and resilience of the total growing system 9whether or not
they produce a crop). !uch plants would usually include nitrogen.fi'ing
species 9to make the use of nitrogen fertilisers unnecessary), and also plants
to deter pests and diseases by, for e'ample, attracting predators of likely
pests or by confusing pests with aromatic emissions.
The most sustainable systems will be closed.loop systems, where no e'tra
nutrients are brought in and the growing system sustains itself. 8orest
gardens are an e'ample of this.
%groforestry systems are less suited to very large scale production than
monocultures, so by their nature they will be smaller scale N which also
means that they are much more likely to be integrated far better with their
local economyB crops are likely to be sold and used locally, so the mass
transportation of food should decrease significantly as these systems become
more popular.
They have many other benefits N wildlife value is very high, they can
provide shelter and thus reduce energy usage for heating or cooling, and so
on. #nce understood weKll wonder how we ever did without them6

_$o.dig gardening_
(onventional modern agriculturalists, and their books, almost always
advocate digging the soil as if it was some sort of universal truth that needs
no ?ualifying. In fairness, it is well intentioned advice and it is
recommended by them for a number of reasonsB to incorporate manures and
composts into the soil, to open it up from compaction 9often caused by
heavy machinery), to loosen the soil and produce a crumbly tilth, and to bury
weeds. &ost of these reasons are flawed and come from a lack of
understanding of what the soil actually needs, resulting in lots of
unnecessary graft and damage to the very ecosystem on which our lives
depends.
!howing a new 9or rather, old) way of growing food without disrupting these
delicate, finely tuned systems, and saving you from a life of drudgery into

&y advice for growing your own food is to garden little and often, to
treasure your soil and to be realistic in what you attempt. !upermarkets have
created an attractive impression of year.round abundance and it is false.
Every soil and climate is different so you must adapt to local conditions and
seasons, ensuring that whatever you sow and plant comes to fruition.
)rowing the right food for your climate and locality, although bringing you
less food range, will result in tastier meals and e'tra vitality every day.
!ome homework before starting is a great investment and helps avoid
sowing the wrong seeds, or growing plants in the wrong way. 8or e'ample,
cauliflowers need a lot of space and tend to mature all together, aubergines
are a hot climate vegetable which are unproductive in *ritain, and tomatoes
as well as potatoes will succumb to fungal blight if it rains regularly when
their fruit and tubers are developing. !o for e'ample, in my damp climate I
grow ,ust a few caulis, one or two aubergine plants in a polytunnel, tomatoes
only where their leaves can be kept dry, and varieties of second early potato
which mature before the blight arrives.
#ur most precious resource for growing healthy food is soil and it needs
careful attention, but does not need to be dug or cultivated, e'cept by its
inhabitants. Worms and other soil life do the ,ob better than we ever can,
leaving soil aerated and firm at the same time, with a stable structure which
can bear the weight of a gardener and wheelbarrow. There is a common
misunderstanding that soil needs to be loose and fluffy for growing food,
and this is absolutely wrongB I garden on dense clay and roots travel happily
through my soil, which has been undisturbed for fourteen years.
!oil improves when fed with organic matter and this serves to increase the
amount of both air and nutrients. In moist climates I recommend a thin
mulch of compost to feed soil life, and hence all plants growing in that soil.
In dry climates a moisture retaining mulch has a similarly beneficial effect,
but is not a good idea for growing annual vegetables where rainfall is
common, because damp mulches of half rotted organic matter encourage
slug damage.
We should all be able to nourish our own soil with humanure 9and litter from
any animals we keep) but attitudes need to change in order to allow this if
food is being sold. !tacking manure for at least si' months allows it to
compost and retain nutrients when spread. #nce a soil is fertile it is possible
to Qclose the loopK and keep it productive with your own waste materials,
including all weeds and garden residues, preferably composted.
*ut infertile soils will improve no end if you can import an initial, one.off
dressing of compost or manure on the surface. !hould you have more land
than is needed to grow food, green manures can be sown to build up soil
humus, but this is slower than using compost and before growing vegetables
again, you need to allow time after they mature for decomposition in the
soil, even if you dig them in, which reduces their value compared to using a
mulch. I often feel that the space devoted to green manures could be sown or
planted with a second vegetable instead, and that time spent on growing and
killing green manures would be more profitably spent on scrounging e'tra
additions for the compost heap from verges and edges. /emember also that
weeds will grow and set seed amongst green manures, unless you weed them
as if they are a crop.
8ruit can be cropped at the same time as vegetables and herbs, but be careful
to choose the right kind of tree. In *ritain I find that apples complement
many vegetables, with a spacing of about four metres s?uare, for trees that
are grafted on medium si5e rootstocks. I have trained them in espalier style,
to increase light available to vegetables underneath. #n the other hand I have
not succeeded in growing annual plants under plum and apricot trees. *efore
planting trees, do as much research as you can to be sure of their suitability
and productivity, because it will be years rather than months before you
know any results, and that is a long wait if it is an unproductive or greedy
tree6
"erennial vegetables are an option and are generally considered ?uite easy,
but bear in mind a few thingsB the range of food is less e'tensive than from
annual vegetables, some flavours need getting used to, such as small leaved
lime instead of lettuce, harvesting may take longer 9small wild raspberries
compared with garden varieties such as %utumn *liss), there are no native
perennial root vegetables in *ritain for a substantial meal, an issue in winter
when leaves and fruits are scarce, and perennials are not 5ero maintenance,
still needing some clearing and tidying.
8or fast and abundant results, salad leaves are wonderful and offer a great
range of flavours. ;eep soil around salads clear of weeds at all times and
also clear any overgrowing, surrounding vegetation to reduce slugs. !ow
seasonally and pick with fingers rather than a knife, so that plants live for
longer. !easonal salads means sowing lettuce, spinach and pea shoots in
spring, then endives, chicories, more lettuce and kale 9see kale the superfood
later) in high summer, oriental leaves and herbs suchas coriander and chervil
in late summer, followed by a wonderful range of winter cropping plants in
early !eptember. If you can afford them some shelter, it is possible to have
tasty leaves every day of the year, from a small area.
We have e'perimented with the no dig and dig method. I can see advantages
to both. Last year we took on a new e'tra piece of land that had been
neglected for years. It was a land flowing with thorns and thistles as tall as
me. Which are all edible and yes we did eat a lot of them. They are great in a
salad prepared the right way. *ut they are so plentiful with lots of patches
around us. $o one else is eating these things, so we did not view it a waste
to not eat them all. They would be good compost for our other vegatation we
would grow there.
I did not relish the work involved so wanted to give an e'treme idea a go. %
friend works in a bathroom warehouse and I was able to get a lot of very
thick card board. The biggest ,ob my wife and I found is taking off anything
that is not biodegradable like tape. We then simply ,ust pressed the large
flattened out cardboard on top it was great fun. %nd overlapped then ,umped
on top to compress it all as low as possible. #ur neighbouring plots thought
we were mad when hearing the laughter from my family and the fun we
were having with our e'periment. It was now mostly pressed down but we
added even more cardboard on top again and got the kids to walk on it to
compress the weeds as much as possible. #ur allotment sometimes has some
compost provided by the council in large trucks dumped for all to use freely.
!o we wheelbarrowed literally tons of this compost on top of our layers of
cardboard. The wheelbarrow had to go up a little ramp each trip, then the
kids and my wife spread it out evenly a few inches over all of it. I must
admit it was easier and more fun than digging it over and did look neat and
tidy in a short space of time. *ut time would tell if it worked. We waited a
few weeks and did notice that it went down every week as the weeds
underneath began to rot because no sunlight could get to them. the cardboard
too would be rotting now but hope it would last long enough for the weeds
to be all but gone. % short while latter the level was down to almost ground
level, and there was now lovely compost under the cardboard that the worms
and other life would be eating under our cardboard instead of hard to get rid
of weeds. The worms would be eating it and the waste coming out of the
worms is wonderful stuff for the soil. They would also be putting air through
it all and bringing down bits in effect doing a better ,ob than a human
digging it the hard way.
% little while later still, we thought lets give it a go. !o started to plant
through the card board which was surprisingly still strong even though it
was soaked and mushy by now. We cut little holes through all layers of
cardboard and planted through. It worked very very well. !ome who laughed
at us as we also laughed at putting all this cardboard on top of these weeds
were now saying surprisingly 4that did work very well.4 We now have a very
productive area that was once ,ust strong thorns and thistles. I think some of
the cardboard remains where we have not punched through, but it will all
eventually turn back to the earth from which it was made. The longer it
survives the better because the longer it will kill the weeds and their strong
roots.
$ot sure if I would do this type of no dig method again, a lot depends if you
can get hold of enough waste cardboard for free. The main advantage I like
for the dig method is after a winter of less e'ercise than normal to double dig
your patch is e?ually beneficial to you as it is to your soil. )ardening work
is what we were designed for, it is wonderfully en,oyable as well as
enormously beneficial to you.

_)uerrilla gardening_
This most recent of gardening methods usually involves gardening some
other personKs land without their e'press permission. This land is usually
neglected or abandoned by its legal owner, and in effect the guerrilla
gardener is often a productive s?uatter who doesnKt even bother to move in N
guerrilla gardeners should be in demand6 It is obvious that, for some, this is
a political statement about land ownership, but it is also a way for some
people to access soil and grow their own food N not ,ust for themselves, but
often for others in their community.
Aepending on the motivations and locations of guerrilla gardening s?uads,
this can involve working in the middle of the night. #ther groups make a
point of being seen, in order to provoke thought about the neglect of
potentially productive land in a world that needs to rapidly localise N this
means that many teams also go out in waking hours, youKll be relieved to
hear.
If you want to set up your own guerrilla gardening cell, or ,oin an e'isting
one, go to )uerrilla)ardening9.org) and get involved. $ot only will you get
to meet a network of like.minded people, itKs also another way to meet your
food needs for free and turn wasteland into something productive.
I do not like the risk myself of having all you hard work taken from you, but
if you cant get an allotment or other option this may be your best option.
The type of guerrilla gardening I do is spreading wild seeds I gather myself
of common wild edibles, most considered weeds. I live in an area
surrounded by wild green land of which lots of it hardly anyone ever goes
near its ,ust a natural waste land.
This can be a far more reliable form of storing long term food for your
family. This way can be renewable and never ending. If you spread edible
plants that are perennials that grow and can be eaten all year round. "lants
that regrow themselves year after year. I like the types where everything can
be eaten from the roots which can be considered like potatoes then the leaves
and stems like the green salad and the flower heads like the garnishing.
!o a readymade instant meal all for free. /enewable and never ending and
because most people around where I live are uneducated in wild food and
have been brainwashed through advertising and so forth they would not even
consider it even when there are food shortages there will still not be that
many other people gathering them. &ost people would prefer a processed
readymeal full of harmful things than my readymeal that is one of the most
nutritious healthy things a human could ever eat. If you regularly ,ust dig
something up and eat it raw that was ,ust growing and dont clean off too
much soil which is full of healthy en5ymes that can do you far more good
than a lifetime of vit and mineral pills that many times ,ust pass through you
without even touching the sides. They are many times ,ust pan bullets. 8ar
better to use nature an perefct e'ample of this is sprouting. &y wife used to
do a lot of this when she was younger, now we are teaching our kids the self
reliant advantages of .!proutingB Dow to )row !prouts at Dome for Low
(ost $utritious &eals
!prouting at home is a simple way to lower your food costs, increase the
amount of raw food in your diet, and be assured that the sprouts you eat are
safe.
!prouting seeds to eat is a skill you can learn ?uickly, and a sprout garden
takes very little time to maintain. %ll the sprouting supplies you need can be
had for free or for a minimal investment. In no time at all, youKll be en,oying
the crunchy goodness of homegrown sprouts with every meal6
Why should you sprout7
When a seed starts to sprout, the ?ualities of the nutrients begin to change N
comple' compounds such as carbohydrates begin to break down into simple
sugars, proteins break down into amino acids, and the fats into fatty acids.
En5yme inhibitors that enable a seed to remain inert yet viable for years are
neutrali5ed by sprouting, and the en5yme and vitamin content is increased,
most notably the * vitamins.
% sprouting seed is transformed from a long.term storage unit for starches
into a living plant full of digestive en5ymes, amino acids, and simple sugars.
The nutrient content increases up to 2011< after sprouting, and your body
can readily assimilate the organic compounds in the sprouts. %s the sprouts
turn green with e'posure to light, chlorophyll is developed in these baby
plant sprouts, making them a superfood packed with nutrition.
/eady to get started sprouting7
What youKll need to sprout at homeB
cheesecloth or stainless steel screen
?uart si5ed mason ,ars
a tray to stand the sprouting ,ars in
rubber bands or a canning ring to hold the cheesecloth or screen in place
a selection of seeds, beans, or grains 9organically grown if possible)
a cupboard or corner of your counter out of direct sunlight
F to 21 minutes each day to care for your sprouts
Dow to )row !proutsB
8ill a ,ar with water 9filtered or spring water is preferable). 8or alfalfa,
clover, or other small seeds, put two tablespoons of seeds in the ,ar and let
soak in the water for E hours. *eginning the soaking process at night
develops an easy rhythm for daily maintenance, checking them in the
evening and again in the morning.
%fter the soaking time is up 9in the morning, if started at night), empty the
water out and rinse the seeds with fresh water 9I like to rinse at least twice
each time). (over the mouth of the ,ar with a s?uare of cheesecloth or
sprouting screen and set the ,ar upside down in a tray or bowl 9to catch any
water that will drain out). I always lean the ,ar against something at an angle
to ensure a flow of fresh air to the sprouting seeds.
/inse the sprouts every E to 20 hours by filling the ,ars part way with water
and then draining them thoroughly. The water from soaking and rinsing the
sprouts is great for houseplants, gardens, or your compost pile. When the
sprouts have reached the si5e you prefer for eating, rinse them thoroughly
and place in the refrigerator until youKre ready to eat them. They will keep
,ust fine for a couple of days 9up to a week).
&ost sprouts are edible as soon as you see a tail 9the root) emerging from the
seed, but you can let them grow as long as you want. %lfalfa and clover will
fill the ,ar so completely that youKll have a hard time getting them out, so
donKt let them go too far.
!oaking times and amounts of seeds for sprouting in a ?uart ,arB

Wheat berriesB !oak 2 cup whole wheat berries for E to 20 hours
/ye berriesB !oak 2 cup whole rye berries for E to 20 hours
&any seeds and nuts may be soaked and then eaten without fully sprouting
them. #ne of my favorites is sunflower seed milk, made by blending soaked
and rinsed raw sunflower seeds with water until it has the consistency of
milk. Doney or maple syrup may be added for a sweetened version. -sing
the same method of blending the seeds, but only adding a little water, you
end up with a base for dips and spreads which taste great with chopped fresh
veggies and herbs.
8or the more adventurous, fill seed.starting trays with soil and grow
sunflower greens and buckwheat LlettuceM in them. %ny shallow container
with drainage will work, as will regular garden pots.
-se raw sunflower seeds 9in the shell) and unhulled buckwheat, soaking 2
cup of seeds for each tray for E to 20 hours. !pread the seeds evenly over the
soil and cover with a little e'tra soil. Water well, cover with newspaper or a
plastic bag, and put the tray in a spot that stays at room temperature and is
fairly dark. *e sure to give them a daily watering, but donKt keep the soil
soggy.
%fter a couple of days, take off the covering and let the sprouts get some
sunlight. (ontinue to grow them in the tray until theyKre G to J inches in
length. When itKs time to harvest some for lunch, simply cut the sprouts near
soil level, rinse, and en,oy6 If you cut more than you can eat, the sprouts will
stay fresh in the refrigerator ,ust like any greens.
;ids really dig having these baby green sprouts around, and by making tiny
trays out of whatever small containers you have, they can grow their own
sprout gardens. Engaging them in the process of soaking, rinsing, growing
and eating sprouts gives them a real sense of cooperation and being in the
rhythm with nature.
!prouting is also a great learning activity for unschooling and
homeschooling families. The ama5ing transformation that takes place to
change those tiny seeds into living green food is inspiring. $atureKs wisdom
is contained in each and every one of them, and yet our great god science
can not manufacture a single seed.
Waste food Liberating .!kipping
;nown as dumpster diving in the -!, skipping food or liberating waste food
is the term given to the act of salvaging food that has, for one reason or
another, ended up in somebodyKs bin N usually that of a supermarket. I
consider myself an e'pert, maybe one of the most e'perienced waste food
liberators in the world. &y parents taught us kids about this well before
anyone else had even heard of it. I have more than three decades e'perience
of liberating waste. I will go into more detail ne't chapter. 8or now if you
live in an urban environment and want to live in a simple balanced more self
reliant way, utilising waste food will play an important part, due to the
general lack of sufficient growing space in built up areas to produce all of
your nutritional and calorific re?uirements. The fact that an average -;
household wastes 0F< of its food 9and Lan estimated 01 million tonnes of
food is wasted in *ritain from the plough to the plateM)is depressing on
many levelsR the good news for you is that there will be no end of choice for
dinner.
Technically, taking food out of someone elseKs bin is illegal, as it N rather
bi5arrely N is still regarded as their property, despite it being blatantly
obvious that they no longer want it. #ur councilKs waste collectors seem
pretty confident that its legal owners no longer want it when they come to
pick it up every week. That said, it is highly unlikely that you would ever be
convicted, or even prosecuted, for the offence of QstealingK waste. The only
case IKm aware of is that of !acha Dall, who got a twelve month conditional
discharge for lessening the levels of waste within TescoKs bins, but that case
was lambasted enough in the media to deter other cases being brought
against freegans. % much more likely scenario, if you are caught, is that
youKll receive a reasonably friendly ticking off from a police officer, have
your name taken and told to move on. If youKd prefer to avoid that, I
recommend going on a reconnaissance mission to the skipKs site before
entering. When you feel that you know a time when the chances of anyone
being around is unlikely 9night time is good, as it is also dark), go there as
often as you feel it is worth it. !ometimes youKll go and find everything you
need, other times youKll find nothing, whilst on another occasion you may
find a hundred chocolate bars and a years supply of baked beans 9yes we
did). *ring along an Emm triangular key, the type you use for a gas meter
bo', to gain you access to the binR if you donKt have one, ask for one from
the 8reeconomy network.#r from a socket set I keep in my kit an Emm
socket and an e'tension bar. This is what I use to open the locks every day.I
personally feel weKve an obligation to use every ounce of food we can, given
the amount of energy, destruction and e'ploitation that is embodied in our
diet today, coupled with the fact that half the world is undernourished. Word
of warningB I wouldnKt recommend living off a purely liberated edible food
diet, I know we could live off liberated edibles 211< and still have left overs
to give away but unless it contains a lot of fruit and vegetables that are
sufficiently alive to still be nutritious, this is why we grow our own as well.
=ou never know what you are going to find, so a balanced approach as
always is what I recommend.
If the weather is warm and you suspect that meat or dairy has been in the bin
for a while, then there are obvious risks attached which you should strongly
consider. If you go to the same place almost every early morning like we do,
then you get to know the new stuff put on top and avoid the stuff a day old.
%s a general rule, if in doubt donKt eat it and put it back. If you have a
compost heap yourself 9or your community allotment has one), the fruit and
vegetables you find in supermarket bins will be suitable for it, even if they
are not fit for you belly, so it may still be worth taking if you can motivate
yourself to do so. *ut do not immediately think ,ust because its been
discarded it is unfit to eat. We often bring back a load of bananas that are
still green and not even ripe yet, but the sell by date has been reached, so
something obviously went wrong there. This is ,ust one e'ample of how
wasteful our society has become. %lso many things are discarded for other
reasons, like the package has been damaged or leaking but its still fresh.
They tend to put them in sealed bags so as not to make a mess and then ends
up in the skip. &ost of the contents stay in side and someone like me or you
can liberate it from damaging the planet.
&eat
&uch of the rest of this book is about hunting and trapping, but these are not
the only ways to provide meat for the table for free.
_Wild food and roadkill_
#f course, let us not forget that there are many other fun and efficient ways
to obtain high protein foods from the wild. "erhaps the best and most easily
obtained plant based source is the delectable walnut. When we were kids our
parents bought some land and planted fruit and nut trees. Every year now
they are getting bigger and along with other fruit and nut trees producing a
healthy bounty of walnuts which are considered a super food nutritionally.
"articularly in the south of England, feral, abandoned trees, or simply those
in public places, can be readily found. There are over G1 such trees within a
short cycling distance of my home. Last year I gathered F1kg of nuts.
These can be used whole or have the oil e'tracted, the resulting meal being a
wonderful and protein rich food source.
Each year we find more and more as the trees mature and produce more
every passing year. The best approach we find for walnuts is to use ether
stilts or a step ladder and an old style walking stick. #r other long stick with
a hook on the end. =ou get as close as you can to pick the walnuts off, any
out of reach you can hook the branch and pull it closer to pick them off. =ou
have to be careful not to pull so much that you break the branch which has
happened to us, you then need to get up there somehow and put a splint on
the wound until it heals up. If you harvest while they are still green they can
be pickled. We ,ust chop each end off the green outershell and drop them in
salt water for a day. Then spread them out to dry out for another day in the
sun, until they go black. Then they can be put into ,ars of vinegar. The
advantage is they have no shelf life, they pretty much last a lifetime like this.
=ou can sell these or use them as barter items and they make wonderful
gifts.
#r you can wait until they go hard on the tree, then you can ,ust shake or tap
with a long stick most of them off. =ou then need to crack each one open to
get to the hard walnut inside. They are great in honey and we sometime sell
or give away ,ars of local walnuts in local honey. Two super foods and again
no shelf life they pretty much last a lifetime. Doney is also a wonderful
preserver. They have found honey from ancient Egypt that could still be
eaten today.
*ut I prefer to pickle them because the outside shell of the walnut which is
full of nutrition is not wasted. If you waste that it isa high percentage gone
compared to the small walnut you get out from the inside. 8ar better to eat
all of it together. I absolutely love pickled walnuts. Dave them with bread
and cheese or anything else you fancy or indeed on their own.
&y wife said when she lived and travel ed around Europe before we married
they had all sorts of pickled foods.
We like to make pickled Derring, mussels, crab and other sea foods. It is a
!candinavian thing.
%long with dried seaweed which also lasts a long time like pickled foods.
Then of course there is the rest of the whole coastal larder of fish and shell
fish, the inland larder of snails and insects and, dare I say it, yes I do,
accidental meat, a.k.a. roadkill.
)iven the tragic fact that every year in the -; 3 million pheasants, E11,111
rabbits, F1,111 deer, s?uirrel and badgers, as well as 0F,111 fo'es are killed
on our roads, 9and e'trapolating from these appalling statistics, whilst taking
into account the differing si5e of the various animals and, for arguments
sake, assuming that F1< of such animals are serviceable as food N i.e.
avoiding the tabloid clicha that anyone who eats road kill Qscrapes it off the
tarmacK) then 9when accounting for the differing number of servings from
each animal) weKre looking at least E,:11,111 potential meals for the
practical, discriminating and opportunist forager. *on appatit6
#n a recent e'tended family holiday we were all travelling to the large
holiday house we hired deep in the countryside. Each family my brothers
and sisters with their families driving through the mountain roads and
sometimes through thick forest areas. We were calling and messaging each
other on the way and someone said its pheasant season and we all noticed
how many pheasants we had seen. #ur kids counted over 31. We all fancied
pheasant to add to our wild food we were already planning and talking about
a lot. &y father managed first of all to hit one, and he noticed another car hit
one as well 9the other car wasnt trying). De put this lovely pheasant meat in
bags to take to put in our wild food meals we were planning.
#ne of my sisters with her family and the kids in the back shortly after also
managed to hit one, but a word of warning. In their efforts the bird flew up
and her husband who was driving hit it in the windscreen cracking it. They
had to wait for a breakdown van to tow the rest of the way and then organise
a new windscreen to be fitted. It made for an interesting story and an
interesting start to our holiday. We used what was not edible in the birds in
some traps and sea food traps. They were productive traps and we en,oyed
eating fresh fish and shellfish from the pheasant baited traps. #ne night we
had a large wild fire outside and cooked wild food over it while chatting till
the early hours. (ant beat it.

The classification of wild food, as separate from food cultivated by humans,
raises some interesting ?uestions hereR ?uestions which highlight the e'tent
to which we have perceived ourselves to be separate from the rest of $ature.
8irst, what e'actly is Qthe WildK7 !econd, why are humans commonly not
considered to be wild, or a part of the Wild7 If a human plants a seed, and it
germinates and spreads itself across a landscape over a short period of time,
are these new plants wild or cultivated7 &ost people would suggest the
latter, though with little confidence or clarity. =et if a so.called wild animal
eats some fruit before, very kindly, dropping the seed bomb composed
mainly of its own N ahem N potting mi', and that seed then germinates into
another fruit producing plant, most people would consider that to be the
work of Qthe wildK. &y friend who has a farm used to feed unwanted veg to
his pigs. De noticed in the place where the pigs did their waste there were
lovely vegetables growing. #bviously the seeds had been on a ,ourney
through the pig but ended up in a very nutritious place to grow again. I
,oined him in eating these particular vegetables when they were ready to
harvest and couldnt stop laughing at what a great story about how they came
to grow there without him planting them.
Is the planting of a seed only a domestication issue if it is done consciously
by humans7 )ary !nyder, author of _The "ractice of the Wild_, suggests
that a plant is wild if it is Lself.propagating, self.maintaining, flourishing in
accord with innate ?ualitiesM. Dumanity is no less or greater a part of $ature
than a fo' or a deer. We may currently be a more destructive force than
anything else that e'ists, but we are still $ature. %nd within us still resides a
piece of The Wild. This is why I consider the food we grow or what we
forage to be all wild food and far better in every way than processed food.
Water
Even more important than food, is water. Water should be the easiest thing in
the world to get without money, given its abundance on the planet. %s hard
as it is for us to imagine, there was once a time when we could cup it in our
hands and drink it straight from a river or stream, tasting nothing like what
most of us think water tastes like today. In a few remote, uncivilised places it
is still possible to drink clean, fresh water. I had the pleasure of being able to
do so once when I was travelling through %sia at the top of a mountain. We
were the first people downstream, and there wasnKt another human being in
sight for many miles. The river that flowed ne't to my tent was so clear that,
when it was still, looking at its bed was like looking through a pane of glass.
It tasted sublime, unlike any water I had tasted before. The first time I drank
from it I realised I had never drunk water before, the way it should be, the
way it once was. We bathed in that river, but to ensure it stayed pristine the
others who lived there 9I was soap less by this stage) would lather
themselves up on the bank and fully rinse themselves off before getting back
in the water, to ensure that the ne't people downstream also had a pure water
supply. In relation to our land, atmosphere and water, we would do well to
think of the ne't generation as those neighbours who live downstream.
If you live in a rural setting, getting enough water shouldnKt be too difficult
if you know how and have the means. Dowever, if you are in the city this is
a lot trickier for obvious reasons. In fact, the water issue is one of the
reasons why I believe cities to be inherently unsustainable, as the water
needs of millions of people living on top of each other can only be met by
highly industrialised means, involving processes that are polluting our host
and destroying itKs ability to home us. Therefore, complete self reliant living
en masse will only happen through land reform and a complete redesign of
the way we live.
$evertheless, there is much you can do in the meantime, and water
conservation methods such as those I mention elsewhere, along with using a
compost toilet, will all make important contributions. I will give you a menu
of options that I hope are wide enough in scope to cover whatever your
particular situation involves. With all the options below, I would get the
water tested to make sure it is drinkable.
_Water wells and bore holes_
% well is created by e'cavating a piece of land for the purpose of accessing
the groundwater of underground a?uifers N the depth and radius of the
e'cavation depends on how close to the surface the a?uifer lies.
*oreholes are similar, but are more like a narrow shaft and re?uire drilling of
one form or another. These can be e'pensive to create in the first instance
unless you can tap into a spring that is near the surface.
Dowever, once youKve done it it is there for life, as long as it doesnKt run dry,
providing you with a source of clean, non.chlorinated water. There are easy
ways to dig your own borehole, but maybe a proper well would be better.
I plan to dig a well by hand when my son is a bit older. Aont want him to
miss out if we do it now he is too young. This is the sort of upbringing my
father gave me, I want to pass it on to the ne't generation. =ou build the
walls down starting from the top and dig under one side putting stones in.
While waiting for the cement to go hard do it the other side. Ariving steel
rods in as you go so the walls hang on the rods. Cust keep going deeper until
you hit the water. What a great pro,ect to do slowly.
% little at a time and en,oy every second of it. I would like to fill Earth bags
with what comes out of the hole and build a take on the Earth ship idea with
them. Cust using the Earth bags the same as bricks, but they are natural and
sustainable and e'cellent insulation. %lso some designers incorporate few
shipping containers inside to support the structure. $ot enough Earth from
,ust the well to finish the structure so I would also like to dig a few large
humanure compost toilets the other side of the Earth ship. %ll the Earth
coming out will provide the bricks for the Earth ship walls. &akes sense,
fresh water coming in one side all the fa miles waste going out the other. The
waste can be e'cellent nutrition for your edible garden when its ready. Then
you switch your waste pipe to fill another huge hole you dug and capped off
so no smell can escape. When thats full you switch to a third and final one.
#nce you have used up all the beautifully nutritious human compost from
your first one you can switch your waste out pipe back to that one, and start
using humanure compost from the second when its ready and so on.
With solar panels on the roof and a wood stove inside this would be living
the dream off grid.
While on the sub,ect off living off grid, a Capanese invention is available to
buy a small bo' that can plug into your electric car to convert and then use
the power from the batteries at night time, when your solar panels are not
working. Then you can charge the battery when the sun comes out again. I
think this is brilliant, because the latest generation batteries are so e'pensive,
but if you have already invested in one for your car then use it in a grid
down situation.
-ntil the last few hundred years, water wells played a hugely important role
in hydrating the people of many rural areas, and in some parts of the world
this is still very much the norm today. *ut because so many of us now dwell
in urban areas, itKs not something we have to think about anymore. Water
comes from a tap. *ut what would happen if the economic mechanisms that
facilitated such centralised and comple' water systems ground to a halt, and
those chlorinated water taps eventually ran dry7
Wells are still used even in the global West, but most are now created using
high technology techni?ues such as boring, drilling or driving, and involve
electrical pumps in their daily use. If you are intending to live off.grid on a
piece of land, there is a temptation ,ust to design in an electrically pumped
well, as a decent solar panel would power it. =et again I ask the ?uestion N
what would happen if the global infrastructure, which manufactures the parts
of the leisure batteries and photovoltaic that power your pump, collapsed7
=ouKd be left with a well that had been designed for a level of technology
you could no longer support.
It is for this reason, along with the fact that they are packed full of embodied
energy and ecological destruction, that I argue against using electrical
pumps. &any simple balanced self reliant options are available, including
everything from the age old 9and my personal favourite, purely for romantic
reasons) bucket to a very clever bicycle powered pump, which not only
builds resilience in your system but also keeps you fit and saves you a gym
subscription as a bonus. I want to get something like this set up in the future
along with a bicycle for generating electricity and charging batteries.
_/ainwater Darvesting_
(ollecting rainwater is simple and the fact that so few of us bother to do it is
yet another e'ample of the wastefulness that comes with moneyKs marriage
to the principles of the economies of scale and division of labour. /ain falls
from the sky, hits a surface 9usually a roof ), runs into some guttering, down
some piping and into a water butt that is raised as high of the ground as is
optimum for you. It can get more comple' than that depending on what your
needs are, but it really doesnKt need to be. It has been happening since the
days before (hrist and we all really ought to be doing it, as part of a way of
living which treats every drop of water with the respect it deserves.
)uttering and butts these days are usually made from plastics, but you can
easily find suitable receptacles for the butts on 8reecycle or from businesses
9such as factories, warehouses and industrial.scale caterers) who regularly
discard large storage containers that could fit the ,ob. This is the only time
youKll hear me say this but, in relation to water storage devices, big is
beautiful, and IKd recommend finding yourself the biggest one that you can
accommodate. I would love to have large water tanks that could gravity fee
each floor of my home. =ou would need one higher than say the first floor to
feed taps in the upstairs bathroom, then one level with the first floor to
gravity feed the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. %s long as you use less
than the amount of rain you get every year this would be self reliant water.
#f course you would need to filter it and purify it before consumption but
the percentage we consume is very small compared with our total water
usage. I tend to filter and purify all water my family consumes any way
where ever it came from.
/ainwater used to generate electricity
We live in a part of the world where we do get a lot of rain. When we
complain about the rain, other people will often say 4=eah, but its good for
the plants.4 Well, thanks to a microturbine.based system created by three
students from the Technological -niversity of &e'ico, its now also being
used to generate electricity for use in low.income homes.
In a nutshell, the "luvia system N developed by #mar Enri?ue Leyva (oca,
/omel *rown and )ustavo /ivero Helb5?ue5 N uses the stream of rainwater
runoff from houses rooftop rain gutters to spin a microturbine in a
cylindrical housing. Electricity generated by that turbine is used to charge
20.volt batteries, which can in turn be used to power LEA lamps or other
small household appliances.
The generator measures about 0 inches wide by 21 inches high 9F2 ' 0FG
mm), and receives the water through a half.inch 923 mm) pipe. #nce the
water has flowed through the microturbine, it proceeds to pass through a
charcoal filter and into a storage tank, leaving it 4e?ual to or cleaner than the
water in the network supply system of &e'ico (ity,4 according to the
students.
I say (harcoal filter not re?uired, you could achieve thisB
44e?ual to or cleaner than the water in the network supply system of &e'ico
(ity,4 by passing it through a dirty sock66 *ut sarcasm aside a good silver
water purification system would be needed wherever you are in the world.
The "luvia system has already been tested in &e'ico (itys I5tapalapa
community. The university now hopes to increase the power of the system,
allowing it to generate a greater amount of electricity.
If you have another source of water, such as a well, then rainwater
harvesting works as a supplementary source. *ecause the stored rainwater
will often contain contaminants, which is why the need for filtering and
purifying, but instead for things like watering the garden, washing your
clothes and water cannoning peaceful protesters at demonstrations R)
There has been word of water companies contemplating charging people for
this as they claim it is QtheirK water N what on Earth gives them the audacity
to claim such a thing, I donKt know, but they are. &y answer to them will be
always be thisB donKt worry, youKll get your water N itKs ,ust going to see the
insides of my bladder on its way to you. %ll roads lead to home, after all.
_!prings, streams and rivers_
8or most of you who live in towns and cities, this will probably not be a
realistic option. !prings are not unlike wells, the main difference being the
fact that $ature brings the a?uifer to the ground surface all by Derself. #ne
e'ample is a famous spring called (halice Well in )lastonbury, and IKve
filled up my bottles and containers with its delicious water many times.
There is no reason why nearby residents couldnt go there, or the white
spring across from it, and fill their humble receptacles, and I know many
who do. The water that comes out is full of iron and has a very uni?ue taste,
and is very good for you. With a bit of e'ploration, you may also find one
near where you live, but this is obviously much more likely if you live
rurally. !prings can sometimes need filters, such as a sand filter 9which has
no consumables and re?uires little maintenance), so testing the water is a
wise first step.
!treams and rivers these days are very likely to be polluted, especially in and
around towns and cities, or near industrial scale farms in the countryside.
%gain, test to find out. /egardless, as long as you have the means to boil and
purify it, there is no reason why you could not use this water. #f course this
isnKt anywhere near as convenient as getting water from the mains, but this
latter method is inherently unsustainable and therefore, by its definition, will
have to come to an end sometime.
&y grandfather always used to say fishing and farming 9of which he did
and we still do both) complement each other so well. *ecause the waste
from one is so useful for the other. =ou always have bait for fish traps and
vice versa, seaweed for e'ample is so good for the earth you are growing
your crops in.
I grew up with my father e'perimenting with sea water tanks back home so
we often brought things back from fishing. The price for certain fish and
shellfish is low in the summer and high in the winter. !o we often used to
keep a lot back and sell in the winter when prices were high. We even built a
huge floating cage like a London red double decker bus. It was like a
floating pontoon we could come up along side and tie up against. We could
open the hatch we built and throw in all bo'es of large crabs we caught that
day. We fished hard over the summers every year and built up tons of crabs
until each layer was full. Then in the winter every year when you could not
catch them anymore the price goes up a lot because they are not available so
we sold when the price was highest. The seafood dealer brought his truck to
where our keep bo' was located and we towed it in at high water until it
grounded. Then as the tide dropped around it we started emptying into his
truck. We had very little losses because they filter feed plankton in the water.
We still have our massive floating keep bo' but we are not fishing full time
anymore. This is ,ust to give ideas, something similar could be done in a
smaller way.
$ow we use our huge keep cage on land for keeping game animals alive that
we catch in out triangular coroplast traps. 9!ee later for details how to make)
We catch mainly rabbits and s?uirrels in our live catch coroplast traps.
/abbits actually breed every : weeks or so. !o even if you dont catch any
more if you keep rabbits and breed them you can have a renewable meat
source along with your other self reliant food systems. I would also like to
try keeping and breeding pigeons in the future. 8or the same reasons people
keep chickens. Eggs and meet. %lso homing pigeons are very useful for
sending messages home if communications all go down. Its a great hobby
for the kids taking homing pigeons far away from home and they always
find their way home.
!o we now use our large keep cage on land for keeping animals and birds. It
still could be used at sea as it was originally designed for. I am planning ,ust
such a small keepbo' as well as a seawater system on land, but then you
need pumps and filters which if ever they stop working for any reason
everything is dead in no time. !o keeping your keep bo' at sea makes a lot
of sense. *ut I always loved having fish tank both fresh water and seawater.
&y father decided when we my brothers and sisters and I were young to get
rid of the TH. I like to think this is why I am able to think outside the bo'.
De said there is too much se' and violence, so we went through much of our
childhood with no TH. De said we will get a fish tank in place of it which did
look nice and was not as bad for childrens brains. It was a great education
about marine life, but the conclusion was nature is also all se' and violence.
The males fighting over the females and breading. L#L. The funniest note I
brought to school was sorry my son is late one of our lobsters was shedding
his shell and he wanted to watch it.
=ou do have to be careful you can not mi' sea or salt water with fresh water
for growing so with that in mind I would like to touch on %?uaponics which
is a book in itself. %s I have said many times, this book ,ust touches on ideas
for simple balanced self reliance and further research is then needed.
%?uaponics is essentially the combination of %?uaculture and Dydroponics.
*oth a?uaculture and hydroponics have some down sides, hydroponics
re?uires e'pensive nutrients to feed the plants, and also re?uires periodic
flushing of the systems which can lead to waste disposal issues. /e.
circulating a?uaculture needs to have e'cess nutrients removed from the
system, normally this means that a percentage of the water is removed,
generally on a daily basis.
This nutrient rich water then needs to be disposed of and replaced with clean
fresh water. While re.circulating a?uaculture and hydroponics are both very
efficient methods of producing fish and vegetables, when we look at
combining the two, these negative aspects are turned into positives. The
positive aspects of both a?uaculture and hydroponics are retained and the
negative aspects no longer e'ist. %?uaponics can be as simple or as comple'
as youKd like to make it, the simple system I share on an allotment is made
from one I*( 9Intermediate *ulk (ontainer). The top was cut off and turned
upside down to become a growbed for the plants. Water is pumped up from
the fish tank into the growbed. The water trickles down through the media,
past the roots of the plants before draining back into the fish tank.
The plants e'tract the water and nutrients they need to grow, cleaning the
water for the fish. There are bacteria that live on the surface of the growbed
media. These bacteria convert ammonia wastes from the fish into nitrates
that can be used by the plants. Its actually better than ,ust having the fish
tank because you need to worry about filtration.
)rowbeds filled with a media such as gravel or e'panded clay pebbles are a
common method of growing plants in an a?uaponic system, but there are
many different methods that can be used. In fact any method of hydroponic
growing can be adapted to a?uaponics. "lants can be grown in floating foam
rafts that sit on the water surface. Hegetables can also be grown using $8T
9$utrient 8ilm Techni?ue), or through various other methods using a Lrun to
wasteM style of growing. This is done by removing a percentage of the fish
water each day and watering vegetables planted in different media such as
coir peat, vermiculite, perlite etc.
&any different species of fish can be grown in an a?uaponic system, and
your species selection will depend on a number of factors including your
local government regulations. We like Tilapia the most cultured fish in the
world, and e'tremely popular in %?uaponics systems. They are an ideal
species for a?uaponics for many reasons. They are easy to breed, fast
growing, withstand very poor water conditions, consume an omnivorous diet
and are good eating.Uuite high stocking densities of fish can be grown in an
a?uaponic system, and because of the recirculating nature of the systems
very little water is used.
/esearch has shown that an a?uaponic system uses about 2@21th of the
water used to grow vegetables in the ground. %n a?uaponic system can be
incredibly productive. &y friend has a set up and I share it with him costs
and then the produce, weKve produced F1kg of fish, and hundreds of
kilograms of vegetables within J months in an area about the si5e of your
average single carpark space, Fm ' 3m. Its completely renewable the fish
breed as fast as you can eat them or give away. This small space the si5e of a
carparking space alone can be an ever replenishing source of food for a
small family forever. It would be a very healthy diet fish and plants and
would never run out. *ut not balanced which is what this book is all about.
This is a system that re?uires no bending, no weeding, no fertili5ers, and
only uses about the same power it takes to run a couple of light globes. It
could easily be run from a couple of solar panels and a single battery.
*earing in mind any fish tanks systems will need power to pump and aerate
so if you are going to have fish why not have an a?uaponic system, its the
same power re?uirement, or less actually because the filtering system.
Land
QDow can one own stars7K ]asked the little prince^
QWhose are they7K the businessman asked peevishly.
QI donKt know. They donKt belong to anyone.K
QIn which case they are mine, because I was the first person to
think of it.K
QIs that sufficient7K
Q#f course it is. When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is
yours. When you discover an island that belongs to no one, it is yours. When
you are the first to have an idea, you take out a patent on itB it is yours. %nd I
own the stars because nobody else before me thought of owning them.K
N %ntoine de !aint.E'upary, The Little "rince
!ince the Enclosure %cts, access to land has been the biggest obstacle for
anyone who has wanted to live subsistently, and it remains so for anyone
who dreams of living in a simple balanced and self reliant way. Every inch
of the land we were born out of is now owned by someone or something,
and the combination of that cultural creation with the subse?uent land prices
and planning permission constraints has led us to a scenario where the
human has been forced out of her natural habitat. %re we less worthy than a
woodpecker or an otter to live freely upon the land7
#ne of the most significant impacts of this is the fact that the overwhelming
ma,ority of people now need to take out large mortgages in inherently
unsustainable cities where they have little opportunity to have control over
their own lives, instead being forced to work in the wage consumer economy
so that they may pay back their mortgage lenders the money that the latter
created out of thin air to begin with. In effect, making the rich financially
richer and the poor more enslaved. The conse?uences of the privatisation of
our land on our freedoms and our ability to live in a truly sustainable manner
are grossly underestimated.
What (hina are going through right now is very interesting. They are
currently building around 21 new cities every year but most remain empty.
Who do they want to live in these empty apartment blocks and shop in these
empty shopping centers7 The around 2 billion people who at the moment
live off the land thats who. The governments can not easily control and
benefit from people living self reliant off their own land. They do not want
farmers providing their own food off their own land. They want them living
in the city working for the corporations and spending currency units on
things they dont need.
The corporatocracy, that merging of corporate and political powers 9I was
once told that politicians and corporations are not actually in bed together N
they are, in fact, the same people6), will not relin?uish control over the land
easily. The land was taken off us in order to force us into the industrial,
consumer and wage economies, after all. -ntil such reforms happen one way
or another, there are plenty of transitional strategies we can employ to enable
those of us who do want to live off the land in a subsistence, non.monetary,
economy to do so, or at the very least give ourselves access to soil so that we
can be as self.reliant for food and our other needs as possible. The good
news is that many people and organisations have already pioneered these
transitional strategies, meaning you ,ust have to decide what path best suits
you and then pursue it with determination.
In the course of this chapter, I aim to provide you with a range of strategies
that could offer you the potential to access the land in a way that will help
you live outside of the monetary economy to some degree, regardless of
whether you live in the city or eventually aspire to get back to the land.
Land of the free
)etting access to soil allows you to be self.reliant for food and other needs
9and, as weKll see in this chapter and the ne't, potentially gives you the
chance to create a home that is designed to enable you to be self.reliant, with
no bills and needing no e'ternal inputs). If you are living in the city, you
may think this is impossible for you. The good newsB it is much easier than
you think. There are possibilities to access land everywhere, surprisingly so
in cities, and you do not need to own land to do so. Even if you can only
grow a little, it will help you build resilience into your own economy by
introducing more diversity, and that can only be a good thing for you and the
planet. In this chapter I e'plore all the options available to you in this
respect.
Windowsills and small spaces
Even if you live in an apartment block or a flat that has no back garden as
my family does, you can still grow many useful plants in small spaces such
as windowsills and balconies. 8rom these alone you could become self
reliant for your herbs 9grown in pots or troughs or old tin cans) at the very
least, which you can then pick fresh as you are cooking. !alad leaves will
also work well here. !unny south.facing windowsills are best, or any that get
more than five hours of sunshine a day. These are also ideal for germinating
seeds, which N if you are lucky enough to have access to an allotment or
garden N you can then plant out as the temperature outside increases,
remembering to harden them off first by putting them outside during the day
and bringing them in at night for about a week or two first. Ao make sure
that your plants have enough room to grow, make sure they have enough
water, and donKt let them get scorched by direct sunlight during the hottest
part of the day N this you can easily do by creating a little shade for them.
Landshare
Dow we have shared the Earth with each other has changed dramatically
over the years, from our time as hunter gatherers when no formal structures
e'isted, to modern society where the concept of private property is
ubi?uitous. Aue to a range of economic mechanisms and social factors, we
have ended up in a situation where many people who own land donKt have
the time or energy to grow food whilst others, who do have that time and
energy and dream of being able to grow their own food, donKt have the
financial capability to buy land, especially if they are not allowed to
construct a simple, cheap 9or free) dwelling on it.
It was to solve this problem that Dugh 8earnley Whittingstall, through /iver
(ottage, set up a -; wide initiative called Landshare in 011: shortly after
he paid a visited to Transition Town TotnesK )arden !hare pro,ect the year
before. )iven the fact that there are at least EJ,111 people already on
allotment waiting lists in the -; 9though the real figure is likely to be
somewhere between 211,111 and 2F1,111), that the grow.your.own
movement is becoming increasingly popular, coupled with the obvious
reality that there is so much land all over the -; 9both in cities and the
countryside) going unused or drastically under.utilised, it was a niche
waiting to be filled.
Landshare, through /iver (ottageKs public profile and some great online
functionality, has a huge potential to suit people who want to grow their own
produce but donKt have anywhere but their windowsill to do itR who have
some spare land that theyKre prepared to share with others in their local
communityR or who can help with local food production in some way, from
sharing knowledge and skills to lending tools to a particular plot.
The strength of this organisation is that it allows anyone to get involved.
%ccording to their website, LLandshare arrangements can range from an
individual sharing a patch of their garden to a national body such as the
$ational Trust creating allotments for many people at grand sites across the
country. Land is also shared by schools, companies and communities.M
!o if you need land in order to be self.reliant and moneyless in terms of food
and a range of other needs, or if instead you have land that could be used to
help your community localise its economy to some degree 9and all the
personal and social benefits that can stem from that), then avail of the
mutually beneficial relationships that pro,ects such as Landshare facilitate. It
also allows for people who can be Landshare food doctors, who can offer
advice 9both online and in real life) to those who are learning as they go.
WW##8ing 9World Wide #pportunities on #rganic 8arms)
WW##8ing has a very similar approach to Landshare, in that its main focus
is to match up people with different but complementary needs in a mutually
beneficial, win.win way. With national organisations in over fifty countries
around the world, WW##8 lists all the organic farms, smallholdings and
such that have signed up to the scheme in each country 9most organic farms
are now involved, such is the success of this approach). If youKre looking to
spend time on an organic farm 9for any of the reasons listed below), you
simply ,oin up to the scheme, contact the farms that most appeal to your
needs and ideologies, before hopefully coming to an arrangement with them
regarding how long you stay for, how many hours you will work whilst
there, and any food and dietary needs you have. It is generally accepted that
0F hours of work a week, in return for comfortable accommodation,
ade?uate food for your time there 9including your days off) and the
opportunity to learn a wide variety of skills 9including the language of your
host), is a deal that often works for everyone concerned, but it really is up to
both parties to come to any agreement they like beforehand. I love it because
its outside the fiat currency system.
&ost people seem to use this scheme when they are on their travels, and
therefore it tends to often be a short term endeavour. There is also no reason
why it canKt be used as a long.term, ongoing option that benefits all
involved. I know someone who spent three years working on an organic
farm, and whilst it was not a normal WW##8ing relationship, it worked on
the same principle of being mutually beneficial to all.
IKd highly recommend WW##8ing to anyone who wants to dip their toes
into simple balanced self reliant living for a period of time, short or long, as
it is possible to hitch or cycle from farm to farm, and no currency units are
needed once you are there. Living on an organic farm has an ama5ing ability
to cease any previous cravings you had to go out and buy needless stuff.
!ome of the skills N both practical and non.practical N that you subse?uently
needed in order to live self reliant will be learnt during your time
WW##8ing. *ut most importantly, it enables you to get a sense of how it
feels to not use currency for long periods of time, along with the
understanding that there is little in life you need to be happy and fulfilled.
Turning urban wastelands into growing spaces
Aue to a variety of personal and e'ternal factors, there is a huge movement
of people who want to reduce their dependency on money and fossil fuels in
relation to their food. To put it into conte't, in 2:EJ there were 23,111
people on waiting lists for allotments in the -;. (ompare that with the
figures I mentioned earlier, and add all those people who want an allotment
but donKt put their name on the waiting list because they believe it to be a
waste of time 9and with good reason N waiting lists vary from three years to
a decade), and you get a sense of the scale of the public plea for more
growing space.
*ut there is hope, and as long as this hope is acted on, there are solutions.
Everywhere you look in cities there are brownfield sites and wastelands
waiting to be transformed. %ccording to a report published in 011: by a
think tank called the $ew Local )overnment $etwork 9$L)$), *ritain has
an estimated 20,>21 hectares of vacant brownfield land, EF< of which is
within five hundred metres of an urban area. ThatKs 32,G1> acres of land that
could be used to help *ritish people become more localised for food. 8or
those of you who want to grow your own, it would be a damn fine place to
start.
In order to get your local council to investigate a particular piece of
wasteland, with a view to it being turned into allotments or other growing
spaces, you donKt need to do much. !ection 03 of the !mall Doldings and
%llotments %ct 2:1E states that Lon a representation in writing to the council
of any borough, urban district, or parish, by any si' registered parliamentary
electors or S resident in the borough, urban district or parish, that the
circumstances of the borough, urban district or parish are such that it is the
duty of the council to take proceedings under this "art of this %ct therein, the
council shall take such representation into considerationM 9the law is slightly
more comple' than this so please read the full briefing). In plain English,
you need si' people. If you have trouble finding si' people, contact a nearby
allotment group and you should find that some of those waiting on their lists
would be more than happy to ,oin you.
$ote that after you make the re?uest, the council are only obliged to
investigate it, and they donKt necessarily have to provide you with these
allotments. Dowever, councils are now tending to be very supportive in this
respect, partially in response to The Localism %ct, and you may be surprised
by how much time and assistance they give you in transforming such
wastelands into areas that would benefit residents in the surrounding areas in
a plethora of ways.
If the unlocked potential highlighted here isnKt enough to ,olt you into
getting a community run allotment group together, then take some
inspiration from four pensioners in "reston who, with a combined age of
over 311, Ltransformed a run.down patch of wasteland into a tran?uil
]wildlife^ haven for the communityM. If they can achieve that, then whatKs
stopping the rest of us doing something similar for food production, in a way
that hopefully builds community resilience, interdependence and bonds of
friendship, along with creating habitat for wildlife7
=ou donKt need an allotment to grow food in the city, however. There is
space everywhere. !o much so that the (apital )rowth pro,ect was set up
with the aim of creating 0,120 new community growing spaces across
London in 0120. In *ristol, Eastside /oots set up a community food
growing pro,ect in a piece of unused land by the side of a railway station,
and has become a hub of social activity for the surrounding suburb of Easton
in the process. =ou can grow crops in the communal area of a block of flats.
If it is covered in concrete, use whatever containers you can get your hands
on to plant in. #r why not do like the folk of Dollingdean and grow food on
the roof of your community centre7 These are ,ust e'amples N you and your
friends and neighbours can come up with your own inspiring ways. The key
is to look at your local area differently, and see the potential for growing
food and other useful crops in every unused space.
(reate an inspiring vision and pursue it passionately
"assionately and relentlessly following your own beliefs in life, without
worrying e'actly how it will all come together, is often enough to bring
whatever you envisage into e'istence. That has certainly been my
e'perience, and ever since I have integrated that level of trust and surrender
into my life IKve had the most incredible e'periences and adventures.
It was the magic of life that, in the end, led to the creation of an inspiring
pro,ect in Aevon called Embercombe, founded by Tim &acartney. Whilst
Embercombe is not a 211< self reliant community, there are very valuable
lessons to be gained from its creation that I believe would be of great use to
anyone considering setting up a fully localised self reliant neighborhood.

Tim Q&acK &acartney, founder of Embercombe, storyteller, public speaker
and author of 8inding Earth, 8inding !oul
There is a piece of land out there, perhaps closer than you might imagine,
that is calling to you. In your heart you know this to be true, because you
have heard the song of that land on the breath of the wind, or in the longing
of a child dear to you. #f all the deeper needs that our people have, the
desire to truly inhabit our land, find community, and develop meaningful
work, matches any. &any of the aspirations we burden ourselves with do not
belong to us. They were sold to us and the price bore no relation to the
value, but rediscovering kinship with each other and the shared e'perience
of growing food is an authentic longing that belongs to you and me and our
children.
It is forty years since I stood in that field of wheat. Transfi'ed, I e'perienced
a profound sense of knowing. I think I was e'periencing a moment of grace.
We might call it a vision. In those few hours I saw and felt what I most
loved. %t some cellular level, I knew that I was being called. It was beautiful
but it was also frightening and I had not yet accumulated the knowledge, the
courage, the discipline, or the commitment to bring it into reality. I was, like
many other young men or women, eager to e'plore but not yet to focus.
Looking back I realise that on some level I agreed to undertake a curriculum
of e'periences that, providing I kept the vision alive in my heart, would
eventually e?uip me with the means to bring it to life.
I am stubborn and many times over have been my own worst enemy, but
early on I also realised that life has no meaning for me unless I know that I
am walking a trail towards the things I call sacred. To do otherwise would be
to betray myself, and I am too proud to consider that an option.
It took me 0E years to travel the distance between that warm summer day in
the field of golden wheat to the moment of true ,oy when I awoke to my first
morning at Embercombe on &ay 2st 2:::. 8ifty acres of meadows, woods,
gardens, and hills purred and pulsed as the spring sun warmed the moist
earth. Auring those 0E years I lived and loved as passionately as I could. I
was lost and found time and time again. I remembered and forgot, went to
sleep, had numinous dreams that left me weeping with ,oy, and nightmares
that nearly killed me. $evertheless, I did not forget. I still walk the invisible
path. I still ,ourney.
I was a drama teacher, managed a restaurant, worked as a medic in a mine,
picked apples in Washington !tate, ran a landscaping company, and then
trained as a gardener. %t the same time I scouted the underworld, and
e'plored trails marked, QAanger. Ao not enterK, trails that could have left me
hurt or in prison. I followed other kinds of trails as well, searching for
people who still held the keys to ancient spiritual traditions honouring our
Earth. With great effort, a battered pride, and scraped knees I found these
people and began what turned out to be a 01.year apprenticeship. &y first
,ob as a gardener was at an outdoor leadership development centre to which
many of the large corporate businesses sent their aspiring leaders. Interested
and intrigued I asked my boss for a day off to watch how our firm went
about developing !ainsburyKs deputy store managers. The privilege was
granted on the condition I promised to remain silent and refrain from adding
in a gardenerKs perspective on the trials and tribulations of !ainsburyKs best.
Things didnKt go as planned that day and I had to break my promise when
tempers boiled and the fragile boundary separating peace and war was
breached. While discomforting and embarrassing for some, I emerged with a
new career and entered the world of corporate leadership development and
entrepreneurship. The field of wheat vision never disappeared but for the
first time ever I finally accepted that if I truly wanted land upon which to
gather and e'plore new ways of living, I would have to earn the money and
not ,ust hang.out waiting for someone to give it to me. I was right and also
wrong. 8or ten years I applied myself to building a successful international
business developing people in organisations, and our team came close to
realising this success on several occasions when we nearly sold the business.
Then, one day, sat in front of a client, I received a pro,ect briefing that
eventually placed the field of wheat in my hand.
LWe have a very small business and even though the markets we serve are in
turmoil and many similar firms are going under, we believe that we have the
strategy, e'pertise, energy and will to create a phenomenal success. We have
a set of core values that mean everything to us. We do not wish our success
to be at the e'pense of our values. WeKd like you and your firm to work with
us, so that we can make this ,ourney and achieve our commercial ambitions
with our values intact.M
This is what we did and five years later my client sold the company for a pot
of gold. &eanwhile, and at the same time, my training with the 8irst $ation
people of $orth %merica continued. Two parallel paths. &y client and his
co.founder came to me shortly after the sale.
LWe have achieved our goal and it feels good, yet there is also an emptiness.
(hasing this goal has occupied all our creativity and energy. $ow what7 Ao
we do it all again but even bigger7M
8or the first time I revealed my other life to them. I suggested that their
?uestions were spiritual and deserved their full attention. I offered to take
them on a vision ?uest ,ourney and they accepted. Life spoke to my client as
she always had, but in the deep contemplative ?uiet of the ?uest I guess he
had more time to listen. Later when we returned he asked me what my
dream was and I told him of my time, almost thirty years ago, when I stood
transfi'ed and allowed what is most profoundly beautiful to enter my heart
and fill me with gratitude. De asked me what I needed and I told him, and he
wrote me a che?ue.
#n the last day of %pril, ,ust a couple of days after my fiftieth birthday I
drove to Aevon and began a new life. I fancifully imagined that the hard
work had already been done, but it was not so. I have been tested, and along
with others many times I have knelt on the earth of Embercombe seeking
guidance, drawing deep on reserves, shedding tears of frustration, and
doubting my ability to sustain. With each test I have grown stronger, my
commitment, deeper. % deep relief that I am walking the path of my calling
and in company of many friends, some whom I know and many I have never
met, nor will I ever meet. We are a people and we are returning to ourselves
and to our land.

I hope that small tidbit from his book inspires you as much as it did me. =ou
could ,oin or start an established community.
If you have like minded friends and want to start a self reliant group in a
simple balanced way then why not look for some land somewhere that is
unused and has been unused for decades. %s I go into later in the book it is
even possible to claim unused land as your own after 20 years continual use.
*ut even if you do not claim it as your own, to use unused land for
productive purposes growing healthy food is wonderful for as long as you
can. If you have to move on ,ust be pleased you were able to live there rent
free for as long as you can.
There are many landbased ecological and spiritual communities already
established all over the -; and across the world. IKve yet to come across one
that has a policy on using being self reliant in a simple balanced way, but
that is not to say one doesnKt e'ist. !ome would potentially view it in a
similar way to WW##8ing, but with the benefits of having you live there
long.term. 8rom your perspective it would give you access to all the basic
infrastructure you need to live a life beyond money.
If this option interests you, IKd recommend getting your hands on a book
called Eurotopia, which lists three hundred intentional communities and
ecovillages from around Europe, providing detailed information and
descriptions written by the communities themselves in a prescribed and easy
to compare format, along with maps and contact details for each one. *efore
you contact anyone, I would advise you to be clear in your own mind what
your needs are, the types of personalities you generally feel drawn towards,
what your philosophies are on general living, and what you are and arenKt
willing to compromise on. #nce you know this and have read the book
through, you are then in a great position to contact the groups most likely to
be a good match, and take it from there. =ou may have to try ?uite a few
before you settle on a particular community, as in reality the human
dynamics of intentional communities are often different to how they seem on
paper.
)host towns
!ome formerly inhabited and some brand newly built and never been
inhabited as can be seen in (hina. They are building about 21 new cities
every year but the *illion people in the countryside living off the land do not
want to go and live in the city and have to work in the wage slave economy,
they are happy living self reliant thank you very much.
Europe too as well as many other places around the world has its fair share
of new ghost towns. Aue to the global financial crisis many large
developments were finished or almost finished but the banks took over
ownership and now the banks are in crisis and need bailing out. Its
sometimes unclear who owns these large uninhabited developments.
!?uatters who are homeless due to the )8( take up residence there and
occasionally the authorities clean them all out, only to find they have no
where else to go and a little while later they have broken the security
cordons and are back in these empty new buildings.
%lso there are formerly inhabited villages and towns that e'ist throughout
many countries of the world. In some instances they are maintained and
managed by the state as tourist attractions, but often they are ,ust abandoned
habitats waiting to be reoccupied. #f course many have been abandoned for
a reason N either they were the scenes of massacres, suffered epidemics or
radiation, lost economic activity, had political problems, became depleted of
natural QresourcesK or befell a disaster of some sort. It goes without saying
that some of these are no longer ade?uate to support micro.economies of
self.reliant people N that is partially why some of them were abandoned in
the first place.
Dowever, often there are reasons for their abandonment that are not relevant
considerations for people who want to live in a localised gift economy, and
many will be packed full of potential as places where people could, with no
small amount of graft, transform them from run down old buildings into
areas abundant in life and activity that could act as the initial e'amples of
how the economy of the future could work.
There are do5ens of known e'amples of established QecoaldeasK of this sort
in !pain, mostly built from the ruins of &edieval towns. #ne of these, an
abandoned hamlet in northern $avarra called Lakabe, was found in 2:E1.
8ourteen people initially moved in, slowly rebuilding the homes and gardens
with barely any money. They now generate all their own energy with a
windmill they erected by hand, having carried the iron structure and
materials up the hill themselves. They also grow lots of food and, despite the
fact they were all urbanites originally, they are now almost self.reliant with
very minimal money. &auge, one of the original people who discovered this
ghost town, says there is now a Lwait]ing^ list of people whoKd like to move
in,M but that Lthe answer is not for people to ,oin what they have created, but
to try to emulate them somewhere else.M The global financial crisis has hit
!pain very hard but being self reliant it does not affect you nearly as much.
The ironic thing many in !pain are now being forced into a life a s?uatting
in an empty building and live more self reliant on very little currency.
If youKre feeling like youKve missed out, keep in mind that there are an
appro'imated three thousand other abandoned villages such as this in !pain
alone. %s long as you are prepared for a life of voluntary simplicity, and the
beauties, ,oys and occasional hardships that can come with that, there is little
reason why anyone could not start a self reliant community within a handful
of years.
Aepending on your country of residence, this path could re?uire you to cross
borders into another part of the world where such abandoned towns e'ist.
This would mean that youKd be setting up in a part of the world, far from
family and friends, where you may not have fluency in the language and
where support networks are likely to be non.e'istent in the difficult initial
stages. This problematic aspect could be offset by organising a group of
interested individuals who are looking to do the same thing, as opposed to
trying to start it up by yourself.
If you do form a group to e'plore this as an option, make sure that everyone
getting involved shares a similar philosophy, that they know how to work
together in ways that are beneficial to the whole group, and that they are
looking to create something positive as opposed to simply running away
from some difficulties in their own life. Ideally youKll have spent some time
living or working with them in the past, so that you all know how
compatible you are.
#ther than that, I would highly recommend spending as much time finding
out as much information as possible about the ghost town you plan on
reoccupying, and what that country has in relation to laws around s?uatting
and the like, in order to minimise the risk involved and to make sure that
your energies are being put to the most productive and positive use.
*uy land with currency
This is, of course, an absurdly odd option in a book that is primarily about
self reliant living and the inevitable negative conse?uences of private
ownership of land. Let me be clearB buying land is a million miles away
from my ideals, and it is an e'tremely awkward and sensitive sub,ect to
broach within this conte't. I like the way (hris Auane of the silver bullet
silver shield talks about buying some with %llodial title which means some
land somewhere in the world where you would ot have to pay land ta' to
some government. Dowever, the reality of the legal, political and economic
society weKve all been born into means that every s?uare metre of land is
now owned by somebody. IKve found that it is often people who have
worked all their lives in well.paid ,obs in the (ity who are looking for a new
way of living on the Earth, having witnessed first.hand the intrinsic horrors
of the current economic model. #thers inherit money 9or less li?uid forms of
it) and want to use it as an escape from the madness of consumerism.
Therefore there is an argument for using what we have already got in order
to more rapidly put in place the infrastructure and culture of self.sufficient
micro.economies, in a similar way that the flotsam of industrialised society
may play its part in what Aavid Dolmgren, who along with *ill &ollison
coined the term "ermaculture, refers to as a Qcreative descentK, in this
conte't towards fully localised, gift economy living.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"E/&%(-LT-/E %$A /EL#(%LI!%TI#$
Aavid Dolmgren, co.originator of the "ermaculture concept and author of
many books including "ermaculture #ne and "ermacultureB "rinciples and
"athways *eyond !ustainability
The peaking of global oil supply suggests a permanent decline in the energy
available to support humanity. This energy descent future will demand ways
of thinking and organisation that are fundamentally different from those that
guided the continuous energy ascent era since European cultures con?uered
the %mericas and began to tap fossil fuels. "eak oil promises to make Qliving
with lessK a non.negotiable reality faster than the alarming evidence of
emerging climatic catastrophe.
&ost people who have seriously considered the energy descent future
recognise that it will lead to, amongst other fundamental changes, the
faltering and reversal of globalisation. % revitalisation, in some form, of
local economy, community and politics should follow. This structural change
reflects a deeper level of thinking and action than imagining which fuel
source or sources we will use in the future.
"ermaculture is a design system for living and land use in the energy descent
era. It emerged during the first oil shock era 92:>1s) and has steadily grown
into a worldwide movement of practitioners,designers and activists.
"ermaculture strategies range from using local organic wastes to create
fertile food gardens, or making use of microclimate to grow a greater
diversity of crops, to natural building heated by the sun, or collecting
rainwater and reusing grey water, as well as local currencies and community
supported agriculture. %ll of these e'amples can all be thought of as
localisation strategies.
"ermaculture design starts with getting our own house 9and especially
garden) in order, then making the connections across the back fence, around
the neighbourhood and throughout our networks. Instead of a focus on what
is wrong with the world and what QtheyK should do, "ermaculture design and
activism focuses on what we can do to live more self reliant lives with less
dependence on distant and centralised sources of water, food and fuel.
/ather than a survivalist strategy for holding onto essential resources,
"ermaculture harvests wastes and generates renewable abundance that will
support the modest needs of self, kin and community.
!ystems theory suggests that these micro.scale solutions that grow to modest
economies of scale, but spread like weeds, are more likely pathways to
successful relocalisation than the contraction and breakup of mega systems,
although that may also make a contribution.
While "ermaculture solutions vary greatly depending on the conditions and
culture, they are all informed by universal design principles that collectively
generate localised solutions to ecological, economic and social needs. 8or
e'ample, the design principle -se !mall and !low !olutionsdemands we
look to resources and opportunities which tend to be localised and
distributed rather than global and centralised. The principle-se and Halue
Aiversity encourages a variety of solutions from place to place. The
principle %pply !elf /egulation and %ccept 8eedback demands a move to
more self.reliant ways of living that take account of natural limitations. The
principle #btain % =ield re?uires us to e'tend financial literacy to energy
literacy so we know which parts of a system are providing the goods.
"ermaculture design principles combine the common sense of our
grandparents with the latest understandings from systems ecology.
#il has been the ?uintessential global energy solution and the design
thinking developed in the energy ascent era leads us to believe in the ne't
singular and global energy solution and to dismiss solutions that, by their
nature, cannot be applied on such a scale. This apparently self.evident truth
from the passing era is now a dangerous mindset that blinds us to the myriad
of small local solutions and how they fit together to make for a prosperous
way down from the peak of fossil energy. "ermaculture helps us find and
create those local solutions. %t the same time it provides the thinking tools to
detect the red herrings, false paths, dead ends and QTro,an horsesK we will
face while charting our descent off the energy mountain over the ne't few
decades.

There has always been land ownership and buying and selling land.
/emember at the start of this book %braham bought a plot of land for G11
silver shekels. *ut that was only G.FJ;g or 2GJ.E troy ounces. This has
varied a little but not much through all of history. Aepending on where it
was obviously and how much land was included in the transaction about G or
F;) of silver was what a large plot of land was valued at.
This is the true value of silver and the true value of an average plot of good
farmland at all times if you take out temporary fiat currency as a measuring
stick. Everything fluctuates through time in cycles going from overvalued to
undervalued and back again repeating through history.
There is a saying when land is cheap buy land, when !ilver is cheap buy
!ilver. If you take F;) of silver as fair value for a couple of acres of good
farmland then you can see where we are in the cycle right now. !ilver is
unbelievably undervalued and land measured in silver is unbelievably
overvalued in silver at present. Things usually overshoot on the correction.
*ut things can stay irrational far longer than many e'pect. Then the snap
back is usually more violent than short times of being out of whack. *ut its
safe to say sometime in the future silver will be overvalued and land will be
undervalued measured in silver.
!o you could ,ust buy silver while its still so cheap waiting for the
correction, with the long term plan to buy your own land when values
correct. *ut it may take another decade for the manipulation to end and
values to correct from their distortions.
The -; housing market measured in ounces of silver is very interesting.
%round the time of the top of the housing bubble late 1> early 1E average
-; housing was over O011;, at around the same time silver was being
heavily manipulated and the spring was pushed all the way down to OF per
ounce. !o at this time around F years ago from the time of writing this the
ratio was around G1,111B2. %t this time I say housing was over valued and
silver was incredibly undervalued. )oing by the prices in fiat currency at the
time G1,111 ounces of silver were priced the same as an average house.
There is a saying 4when bullion is cheap buy bullion when houses are cheap
buy houses.4 %round 31 yrs earlier when I was very young in 2:>:@2:E1 for
instance F11 ounces of silver were priced around the same as an average
house, I would say that property was undervalued and silver was only a little
overvalued at this time.
I say silver was only a little overvalued it was by historical measures still
undervalued at the peak, but in 2:E1 there was a lot more silver bullion in
worldwide stockpiles that had not been consumed yet than today, and there
was a lot less world population than today in relation to available silver
stockpiles. !o the ratio of available silver to the population was much larger
in 2:E1 than today. I think the cycle will carry on swinging back and for. %t
the time of writing in 012G silver is around O20 per ounce and average house
prices are around 2E1;. !o the silver to house price ratio has comedown a
little way from G1,111 to 2. %s I write this the ratio has fallen a few thousand
ounces per average house. I think its an easy prediction to say the silver to
house price ratio will carry on falling at this rate as silver goes up far more
and far faster than property. &aybe it will not get all the way back to F11B2
at the end of this current cycle as &ike &aloney and others are predicting,
maybe nearer to 2111o5 silver valued the same as an average house, but I
would say its looking likely it could overshoot on the correction.
!o is property as good as an investment as silver bullion7 Which is safer
long term7 /emember you never really own property even when the
mortgage has been paid off. There are these stories in the past where people
who have paid off their mortgages have found to their horror that a conman
has sold their house to new people and done a runner with the money, the
new owners turn up to move into their new house find its already occupied
but because they are now the legitimate owners the actual real owners are
kicked out penniless into the street.
&ore scary than is these credit default swap orders or what ever other names
have been made for these derivatives. They take a load of mortgages and
sell them in a big package to lots of others entities. If the buyer who lives in
the house can not pay the mortgage payments when interest rates go back up
to more normal levels, TDE$ WD# #W$! TDE D#-!E WDE$ IT )ET!
/E"#!!E!!EA7 The banks who sold the derivatives of mortgages have all
the profit without the risk.
!o as for the ?uestion about is property a safe investment to carry your
wealth through to the other side, I do know one thing that most people agree
with .. having large amounts of your wealth in property or businesses or in
currency units in bank accounts and@or retirement accounts or any paper
investments are probably the assets 4governments4 would decide to take
8I/!T. )reedy landlords with multiple by.to.let properties. They are the
easiest to grab and the e'cuses the easiest 4your country is on the brink of
bankruptcy6 Everyone needs to help avert this ultimate disaster6 They may
do it like in %rgentina where they e'changed property for government bonds
9worth nothing) or like in (yprus where they ,ust took the money without
saying anything. !ilver and copper bullion taken out of the banking system
and held privately is the safest, they can not take it from you if they dont
know you have it6 $ot gold because there are millions of tons in play and
you could buy so much more silver or copper for the same currency units.
)overnments have come after peoples gold before and may again, but silver
and copper are less likely to be confiscated..
!ome say the price of silver at its high in 2:E1 when F11 ounces of silver
were valued the same as the average house price was because of the Dunt
brothers trying to corner the market. %s is usually the case there is far more
to the story. I did have a chapter on the what the Dunt brothers tried to do in
the >1s but had to edit it down.
=ou can read the edited chapter in the full edition if you want. The truth is it
was not only these brothers buying silver that drove the price up to +F1o5 in
2:>:@2:E1 but it was the general public of $,%merica and a little bit of
Western Europe. Ceff (hristian who is always bearish about silver because
he is the bankers spokesman even admitted the Dunts only added a few
dollars to the price in 2:E1, it was the public buying that drove it up to +F1
back then. $owadays over 31yrs later the same thing is happening but now
everyone in the world can turn their depreciating currency into appreciating
silver bullion that ,ust was not the case in the late >1s. It was a very small
percentage of the worlds population that drove the price up so much higher.
Today 31yrs later there is much greater world population well %LL of the
world population can now buy buy physical silver compared to only the
West in the >1s and far less available silver bullion stockpiles to go around
everyone today. There is also a much much greater currency supply today
than in 2:E1 and its still e'panding. %s time goes on the amount of available
silver for investors to buy is getting smaller while the population of the
world and the currency supply of the world is getting larger every year in
relation to the worlds dwindling available silver stockpile.
!o remember everything moves in cycles and we are now in the part of the
cycle where land property is overvalued and silver is undervalued. It will
swing back to only hundreds of ounces of silver worth average property
values ,ust as it was last time in the late >1s. It may overshoot on the
correction so a smaller amount of ounces could buy a lovely property in that
part of the cycle.
#ne option if possible is to buy a sufficient number of acres 9even now
before values correct back to F11o5 able to buy an average property once
again) and design an infrastructure and logistics system that allows you 9and
others) to grow and produce all your goods without the need for money from
that point onwards, enabling you to then give away any surplus the land
produces to local people in the same way it was given to you N
unconditionally. Ideally, the people you give it to would, over time, want to
get involved in collectively producing it.
If owning land is something you ideologically disagree with or are
uncomfortable about, this admittedly isnKt a brilliant option. #ur dilemma
lies in the predicament that all land is now owned, meaning that unless you
play the same game as everyone else you have usually no legal right to grow
any substantial amount of food, with the e'ception of limited options such as
allotments. To ease your discomfort, there are various options open to you.
8irst, you could do as the Tolstoyans of Whiteway (olony in the (otswolds
did over a hundred years ago and burn the deeds of the land over a pitchfork
as soon as you purchase it, effectively leaving it as owned as the day it was
born into cosmic creation. This is certainly more difficult today with
institutions such as The Land /egistry involved, but as long as you donKt
register with them I see no good reason why it isnKt at least possible. The
anarchists of Whiteway even went to court to ensure that no one could lay
claim to the land, and it was a case which the court upheld. Either way,
thereKs no doubt it would be a powerfully vivid message to send out to the
5ealots of the (apitalist religion and a world obsessed with the concept of
private ownership.
%nother option could involve you buying the land without setting torch to
the deeds 9thus making a minor reduction to your carbon footprint), thats
what this book is all about and after you reduce your financial footprint too you can
feel more content to be livin* a more imple life$
With a view to putting as much land as you can into the hands of a
community allotment organisation, under a legal structure 9such as a land
trust) that you and your local community could set up specifically to protect
this piece of land from those who would see it merely in terms of its
financial value to them. In this way the land would be collectively managed
and looked after, again giving local people the opportunity to be self reliant
in terms of their food and any of the other basics of life they wish to grow.
The benefits of some of these methods of returning land back to the
community are manyB getting neighbours togetherR optimising the economies
of scaleR the pooling of the communityKs skills, knowledge, tools and other
resources, therefore reducing duplication of e?uipment whilst optimising
their effectiveness and the potential for learningR the creation of non.
financial employmentR a sense of genuine community and interdependence
with each otherR having others to look after the produce and animals if you
are on holiday, and vice versaR free, locally produced organic foodR and not
least making the community more resilient 9in terms of meeting its needs)
from e'ternal shocks such as oil price hikes, hyperinflation and the potential
of national or international economic collapse. This latter point will become
increasingly important in an age where we may not be able to depend on the
current economic model to supply us with our food.
These are ,ust some of the paths available to anyone who wants to live more
self reliant in a simple balanced way. If ecological collapse with the end of
the temporary monetary system isnKt enough of a motivating factor to put
some thought into this, what will be7
=ou may have heard about the possibility of claiming land as your own if
you have used it for 20 years without anyone ob,ecting. %s usual there is
more to it, its not as simple as that.
$ormally, a s?uatter must possess land for 20 years with no challenges
before claiming ownership under adverse possession.
=ou will not be able to claim the land if you have ever rented it from the
landowner.
This needs researching a great deal if you want to go down this route. *ut
my view is if you have some land in mind that is not obviously being used
then think it through carefully, do some research find out as much as you can
from land registry and do all the searches. Ao not go knocking on doors
asking neighbors.
If you decide its worth going for, then start using the land. =ou could go
ahead and build something to live in, or get some kind of mobile home there.
If you make it 20 years great its possible to claim it as yours. If not then do
not cause trouble move on. Cust be happy you made use of some land that
was being wasted. =ou would almost certainly be leaving it in better
condition than when you arrived.
If you did decide to build something there 9I will talk about ne't) then you
could consider doing it ?uietly secretly and after G years you can claim
lawful development. This will be considered in greater detail ne't. Lets now
look at more options for a home.
Dome
Dad it with the man7 This publication is partly about sticking it to the man.
*ut mainly ,ust practical suggestions for those wishing to live a more self
reliant life.
The -; along with many other places around the world is seeing a property
crisis the likes of which have not been seen in living memory. The
population of the world is e'panding e'ponentially and resource scarcity
along with pretty much everything scarcity is more and more in the
spotlight.
"roperty prices in London where I live have risen every year to the point that
even doctors and lawyers can not get a mortgage approved on their yearly
earning multiples.
I propose thinking outside the bo' when it comes to our basic need for
shelter. *ut first a bit of backround to see where Im coming from.
&y father built an entire house in some land to the rear of our house with his
own hands while I was young, we all helped him. It took about half a decade
to complete. !ome people say they built their own home but they employed
builders to do much of the work. &y father along with his family built
almost everything himself. Including digging the foundations by hand. %nd
mi'ing most of the concrete by hand, sounds cra5y but we did it. It was a
such great education for me and my brother and sisters. We went on to build
other properties in the years since and even now as I write my father who is
well past retirement age is building another property again all with his own
hands. ;eeping active as you get older certainly keeps you young and
healthy. &y wife who is a professional masseur said when massaging his
shoulders that he is more muscular than most men much younger. 9$ot me
though obviously.)
%s I grew up we built many boats together as well. The reason for me
putting this into the book is to get people thinking away from conventional
thoughts where you absolutely have to pay someone else to do things, why
not learn yourself. With the internet now its far easier than when I built my
first house with my brother. =ou can find free information about everything,
even do entire courses online.
&ost reading this book will already have a place you call home, regardless
of whether you own it outright, rent or have a mortgage. -nless you own it
outright, then complete self reliant living will be an impossibility to you, for
obvious reasons. *ut you still have to pay land or council ta', land or
property is not like silver where you can own it privately outright with
nothing else to pay and no counterparty risk. 8ear not, there is still much you
can do to reduce your dependency on that counterparty risk.
8or starters, IKd get rid of the TH set. &y family packed in television long
before I even heard of the words climate chaos or peak oil. I like to think
this is why I am able to think outside the bo'. !ome who watch a lot of TH
often say things like 4you cant do that4 I tell them all my life people have
told me 4you cant do that, you are not ?ualified, you need a professional4
then I do it and prove them wrong. =ou have to think on your own and not
let anyone else influence you which is what happens to those who watch a
lot of TH. It wasnKt that I particularly cared about the Earth back in 0110, I
canKt remember even considering it. I ,ust found television a waste of my
precious life. I was watching other people living instead of e'periencing life
for myself. I constantly get the TH licence people calling who do not believe
that we do not watch broadcast TH only use internet that does not re?uire
TH licence. They want me to sign something saying 4its a legal document
sir4 I say 4well Im definitely not going to get involved in that case4 #nce
the TH has been taken care of, there are some basics you can do to get
yourself moving towards simple balanced self reliance.
Instead of letting the bath water out, use it to water the plants or give it some
other use. To conserve even more water, remember the phrase Lif it is
yellow, let it mellow, if it is brown, flush it downMR that is if you donKt have a
compost toilet, which most of you wonKt 9yet6). There is no need to flush the
toilet after every pee 9we use on average >1 litres per day flushing, multiply
that by millions, and you see the impact). Turn off the lights when you leave
the room. *etter still, have a Q"ower.off weekendK or a Q!low !undayK, we
sometimes have our fire !unday 9see chapter on weekly training routine)
with WH# lamps, invite your friends around for a game of cards poker or
chess 9my two favorite games) and get some musicians playing acoustic
tunes.
We have a piano which my wife is very good she is ?ualified to teach and
regularly teaches children as well as a pure silver flute our daughter plays
and our son plays acoustic guitar. We find the great atmosphere from WH#
lamps and live music while drinking homemade cider, beer and wine for the
ladies. I play a homemade penny whistle or some call tin whistle I designed
and made myself that can be turned into a blowpipe for hunting birds. It is
an easy instrament to take along where ever you go even climbing down
cliffs to get to beaches and hidden coves and can be used to hunt birds and
small game. %s well as drinking we cook some freshly shot birds and
s?uirrels prepared and chopped up over the WH# lamps. There is a custom
in Capan called in English friend of alcohol #ften very interesting foods to
eat with your drinks and cosy evening. Winter was once a time of the year
when we slowed down, partially because we had to as we hadnKt enough
light to work. $ow we can effectively have light all year round, so we never
get to hibernate with larders full of preserves. "owering down connects us
with the seasons.
Instead of using the grinder, use a pestle and mortar. Instead of the electric
blender do it by hand, or as some have done make yourself a bicycle
powered smoothie maker that can fit on or take off your bike.
The list of ways in which you can save energy in the house is almost
endless, and there is a plethora of books that concentrate on that sub,ect. The
key to this is simply ?uestioning everything you currently do around the
house that uses energy, as it is this that has the biggest cost, both financially
and ecologically. Everything has a more self reliant solution N the fun is in
coming up with your own, and these will be tailored to your uni?ue needs.
If you are looking to redesign your life and eventually go completely self
reliant in a simple balanced way, you may want to e'plore possibilities for
finding or building a house than can allow you to do so. In the previous
chapter, I looked at some of the ways of getting access to land. In a number
of these cases, there will only be an option to utilise the land for growing
plants, as planning permission may be a non.starter. =et with some of the
other transitional land strategies IKve described, there will be potential for
building a low impact dwelling or renovating an e'isting dwelling, ideally in
a way that needs both a minimum of e'ternal inputs and 5ero or little money.
If youKre lucky enough to find yourself in this position, you may decide to
go for either of the bureaucratic approaches I described in the other chapter
N applying for permission before building, or looking for retrospective
permission after youKve been caught being a naughty little boy or girl.
In terms of self reliant living, the ideal is obviously to build a house that is
free in its construction, maintenance, and energy usage. Aespite popular
misunderstanding, it is still possible to build a house without money 9it was
standard once upon a time, when we were guided by different stories). %ll
you need is materials and labour. %s Irish artist 8rank *uckley proved, one
of these materials could be money. %s part of an artwork he was creating
called QE'pressions of /ecessionK, he built a house made out of F1,111
bricks he made from +2.E0 billion worth of decommissioned and shredded
Euros that the Irish mint gave him. 8rank remarked that Lhe wanted to make
something out of nothing,M and that Lwhatever you say about the Euro, itKs a
great insulator.M This, to the best of my knowledge, has been the only time
currency has actually been useful for its own physical ?ualities and not the
stories and beliefs we attach to it.
Even if your house does cost you a little, it will still be a fraction of the
initial cost of a normal house, and it will allow you to remain bill.free and
off.grid for life. #r as this publication suggests simple balanced self
reliance. %s I mentioned earlier, itKll also mean that you probably wonKt need
the mortgage that would have otherwise forced you into the wage economy,
and all the personal conse?uences of that. This will be a big step up in your
own "#" model towards more self reliance.
Dow much money you will need to construct your house will depend on
how simple or comple' it is, and how long you want the house to survive
before you have to build another one. #n one end of the spectrum you have
what I call the birdKs nest N simple, fully localised and not re?uiring a single
penny, but not matching current human e'pectations of comfort and
certainly not meeting all building regulations 9IKm sure birdKs nests donKt
either). In practice, these are the types of homes we built when we had to
build them from local materials N in the -; that meant stone, wood, cob,
thatch and so on N a time when no one would threaten to flatten your house
on the basis that you did not bribe the right people so as to get planning
permission.
#n the other end of the spectrum you have e'.&anchester -nited and
England footballer )ary $evilleKs OJ million, E,111ft0 future eco.home,
which claims will be *oltonKs first 5ero carbon house. Aespite the obvious
e'travagance, there is still lots of merit in aspects of $evilleKs approach, and
some lessons to learn from it like there is from everything.
$ot to mention how encouraging it is to see professional footballers start to
take our imminent ecological crisis so seriously 9unless, that is, you are a
Liverpool fan). -se a "#" model to see where in the spectrum you currently
lie, and what you would eventually, and ideally, like to move up to within a
realistic timeframe. The most important point is to then take proactive steps
towards making it happen.
The simplicity to comple'ity ratio of your house will determine how self
reliant you can maintain it, as the more comple' materials you use in its
initial construction, the less likely you are to be able to find the repair
materials locally or be able to make them yourself. *y using waste materials,
however, you could build and maintain a house with little or no money and
still maintain a level of comfort that we soft, civilised Westerners have
grown accustomed to.
There is an almost endless list of potential dwelling designs to choose from,
using a range of different local and waste materials. I will only aim to
outline the main genres of self reliant housing, briefly touching on the
essence of each. The techni?ues involved in each one of these designs are
entire books in themselves. If one of them pi?ues your interest then I
recommend reading more on them yourself 9I have referenced some useful
reading material on each of the designs below), before adding your own
touch and your own style. $o two homes should be the same, ,ust as no two
residents are.
8ree house
If you donKt want to build a house, or canKt because of any of the obstacles
we looked at in the other chapter, there are a number of choices available to
you, depending on whether you want to live in an urban or rural setting.
!?uatting
Aepending on your political and social viewpoints, this is a mildly
controversial sub,ect. !?uatting usually involves occupying a particular
space which the s?uatter doesnKt rent, own or generally have permission to
use. /eoccupying the ghost towns I mentioned in the previous chapter would
technically be one rather unusual and positive method of s?uatting. The most
common version occurs when people take over residential or commercial
buildings in cities that have been left unused for a long period of time,
turning them into social centres or homes for people who aim to live outside
the political and economic systems that theyKve been born into. There are
over a million empty homes in the -; and if you count empty buildings it
runs into the many many millions. %s long as the s?uaters show respect even
improving these unused wated buildings it is a good thing for those who hate
waste.
What Transition Deathrow, through its )row Deathrow pro,ect, have
managed to do on an old and abandoned market garden site in !ipson N one
of the villages that had been earmarked to be concreted over to pave the
runway for ever more flights at Deathrow airport N is widely regarded as one
of the many really positive e'amples of s?uatting. 8irst, they have they set
themselves up to be self.reliant, by growing their own food, using a rocket
stove to heat their water, utilising greenhouse roofs to collect water for the
plants, producing their energy using both solar and wind and creating four
compost toilets N they are completely off.grid. =et, ,ust as importantly,
theyKve become an integral part of the already established community there,
as both locals and the Qblow.inK environmental activists have worked hard
together to Lreturn the *erkeley $urseries site back to its intended purpose N
a thriving market garden that will provide ]their^ community with locally
produced, organic fruit and veg as well as a venue for new and interesting
pro,ects and workshops.M
Auring their first two years they have hosted many skill.sharing sessions,
some big events, and cleared up 31 tonnes of rubbish from the site. %lso,
according to a statement from the &etropolitan "olice, Lthere is evidence to
show that crime has reduced since the )row Deathrow )roup has occupied
the neglected *erkeley $urseries. "ossibly the presence of the group acts as
a deterrent for crime in the surrounding area. "ositive feedback has been
received from local residents regarding the group, and the local residents
feel safer knowing that there are people staying there. The evidence shows a
reduction in motor vehicle crime in the area by F1 per cent, and a general
reduction in crime of 0F per cent.M )row Deathrow is a perfect e'ample of
one of the many ways with which we can take back control of our land for
the benefit of the people who live there.
The sub,ect of s?uatting, and its history and legalities, is a book in itself, and
for anyone who is considering this as an option, whether temporarily or
long.term, I would recommend contacting the %dvisory !ervice for
!?uatters, and reading their book, The !?uatters Dandbook. %t the time of
writing, laws around s?uatting are looking likely to change, and this
advisory service is best placed to give you the most up to date information
on how to go about it at any point in time.
!?uatting, in combination with other activities such as volunteering for your
local community allotment, guerrilla gardening, foraging, skipping or
liberating and other methods of utilising urban soil and waste, can easily
provide you with an opportunity to live completely without money in the
city, especially if you incorporate enough of the other ideas on how to
simply self reliance your life in a balanced way described in this book. This
is not a model that could work en masse without the complete collapse of
society as we know it.
=et it has definite value as a transition strategy as it presents those who are
ready for self reliant living, and who want to test how it feels on every level,
with an immediate route through which they can begin. &acro factors, along
with our own efforts, will eventually merge to create the more self reliant
solutions of the future.
This is the theme of this publication, to be as self reliant as possible. In a
simple balanced way.
Douse. and boat.sitting
Douse sitting is always a mutually beneficial arrangement. What usually
happens is thisB somebody who owns or rents their home needs to go away
for a few days, weeks or months, leaving a cat or a dog or some plants
behind that re?uire looking after. The period they want to go away for
generally isnKt long enough to ,ustify getting a tenant in, yet they still need
something in the house looked after. !ome like to have people in their house
because theyKre afraid theyKll have a higher risk of being burgled if not.
*ecause of these commonplace occurrences, there is a high demand for
trustworthy house.sitters. IKve spent the ma,ority of my time writing this
book house.sitting for various people around London, including a stint in a
house along a beautiful stretch of canal near -'bridge. We spent two weeks
looking after one large house where all we had to do was feed a gorgeous cat
called ;in 9Capanese for gold) twice a day and take the dog called Teki for a
walk along the canal talking to those who live on houseboats. !ome of these
houseboats were very lovely and make a lu'urious home I think this is also a
realistic option.
Like s?uatting, this option of house or boat sitting isnKt possible for more
than a fraction of the population to do at any one time, and so itKs obviously
not a long.term housing strategy for society. Dowever, if youKre spending
much your time volunteering as we do or for organisations who do work that
you really believe in and want to support, this can be a very useful
transitional strategy in the same way that s?uatting can be. !elf reliant living
doesnKt have to be puritanical. Like a pigeon living in a church steeple eating
food from the ground below, we could do worse than to live freely using
what is at hand until a time when weKre so surrounded by the abundance of
$ature that we no longer have to.
%nother option is living in a mobile home or caravan, they can be bought
very cheap or even free. &any holiday parks replace their mobile homes
every few years, there are many bargains about. =ou often see them on
freecycle you ,ust have to go and pick it up, there are many delivery
companies competing for ,obs like this. If you can find somewhere to put it.
*ut far better in my opinion would be........Living on a boat.
% long time dream of mine has been to live on a boat. I have only lived for
short times on boats when working at sea. &y father used to live on a boat
when he was a fisherman before he got married. %t the moment with young
children my wife and I decided to live on land near to good schools is our
best option, as the kids get older though home schooling may be an option
we would consider. &y wife knows living on a boat capable of sailing
around the world has been my dream as I used to be a sailing instructor and
have lots of e'perience but to say she is not as keen as me is an
understatement. I hope to change her mind by breaking her in gently. It is
always an option however to live on a canal boat or narrow boat as they are
called in the -; which is kind of a half way alternative to living on a sea
going vessel. #ther options might be a sailing boat with a lift up keel that
could also be kept in rivers and canals and maybe combine a season of
cruising with permanent residence, perhaps in one spot for the winter.
% narrowboat as a permanent home7
%s a permanent home N fitted out to a high standard N with proper linings
and insulation, with a full power supply of running the sort of amenities you
would e'pect on land, a narrowboat or its wide beam e?uivalent, can be a
lu'urious home. "rovision can be made for the winter months by installing
central heating often combined with a solid fuel stove with together keeps
the boat dry and warm. There are several attractive versions on the market,
and a stove provides a homely feel to the boat, and a touch of traditional
style.
%dvantages are obvious, no land@council ta' to pay. $o more utility bills.
"lus the freedom of living off grid and being so mobile. With cheap internet
over the 3 or G), you really dont need to be connected to anything these
days.
If you have solar panels and a water purification system. %ll you need is a
wood burning stove to be self reliant. !ome live aboard families grow edible
plants on.board in pots and bags as well as foraging. =ou can set fish traps
as I talk about later in the book. In the -; there is a real problem with
%merican signal crawfish spreading around the rivers and canals. The more I
catch and eat the better for the rest of eco system, so I fish for them now
with my son and we eat a lot of crawfish meat. *ut we have to cycle to the
rivers it would be so easy if you are living on the river or canal you would
never go hungry.
(hoosing a boat
When choosing a boat, donKt ,ump right into the first cheap one that you find
on gumtree. %lthough I have seen some very cheap bargains about if looks
are not top of your list of priorities. I have seen bargains for sale especially
home made attempts you can buy cheaper than trying to build yourself. If
you are looking for a houseboat and will not be re?uiring long distance
travel then mechanical problems are not so much a worry if the rest of the
boat is sound. %fter all the canal networks in the -; were designed before
the engine was. *oats were pulled by hand or horse. !o if you buy a sound
boat that is so cheap because of mechanical problems you could consider
using a good rope and moving by hand or a small outboard for short
distance. The most important thing is the boat itself and living on it.
When choosing a boat consider the following thingsB
When considering how much to spend on a boat, take the amount that you
are willing to pay and subtract about 31<. =ou will want that e'tra 31< for
any maintenance issues that may pop up.
(heck for Leaks N *efore purchasing a boat, do a thorough inspection to
check for leaks. %ny leaks need to be taken care of right away. &old will
become a huge problem, and can make your boat unlivable if left unchecked.
Where to AockB
In the -; you can pay a small fee every year to use the *ritish waterways as
long as you move around every few weeks. #r try and find a permanent
location to tie up to.
%nchoring or Qliving on the hookK is going to be your cheapest option, but it
also means that youKll have to be fully self.sufficient. To be able to pull this
type of living off, you must.
Dave a way to generate your own electricity 9solar wind etcS)
Dave a way to store enough water or be able to generate your own drinking
water.
*e mentally and physically prepared to live at sea.
*uy a good dinghy for coming to shore for work, supplies, etc.
&ooring. %nother cheap option is called mooring. % mooring ball is a
method of anchoring your boat without an anchor. It works by attaching your
boat to a chain thatKs attached to a heavy sunken concrete block. There is
usually an initial deposit or setup fee and a small monthly fee involved for
using someone elses mooring. &y father and I have made and set several
moorings over the years that we used to keep our boats on. Its not too
difficult to do it yourself then there are no ongoing charges.
&arina Living N Aepending on the location, this option can be pretty similar
to an /H "ark. % growing number of &arinas offer electrical hookups and
supply stores within walking distance of your boat.
!ome recommend &arina living for those who are ,ust starting out. *efore
setting sail, marina living can help make sure youKre able to handle the
lifestyle. (hoose a marina that you can live in for 3 N J months. This is a
crucial step to mentally and physically preparing to live at sea. *ut you may
find the costs more than renting a property which would defeat the ob,ective.
=ou may be able to find free places to tie up to, until you get told to move
on.
!afety (onsiderations
"irates . *elieve it or not, in certain parts of the world this is still a pretty big
problem. &ake sure you have the proper e?uipment to be able to defend
yourself in case of attack. 9!D#T)-$6)
&ake sure you know what youKre doing6 N If you are not familiar with
boating, you should take at least J months of time to cruise around shore,
take lessons and become familiar with your boat before sailing off into the
sunset.
(ommunications . (ell phones when near shore, satellite communications,
and a Dam /adio should be on the top of your list of considerations.
$avigation tec has changed so much since I did my /=% yachtmaster
training. Instead of a chart table with all sorts of e?uipment that has been
used by sailors for thousands of years, now a simple smartphone can do
everything. *ut relying on electronic gadgets which can go wrong is never a
substitute for a good se'tant and non electric navigation. *ut the good thing
is electronics used to take up a large section in a chart table, now a simple

&y ideal boat would be a live aboard yacht with a lift up keel so it could
also navigate rivers and canals. Its possible to go from the -; through
8rances rivers and canals in such a boat and come out in the &ed. I want a
yacht that could sail right around the world, but also be able to live aboard in
rivers and canals. %lso to be able to get it on a trailer and tow it somewhere,
its surprising even larger boats than you think could still be trailed.
This is the sort of thing I want to look out for in the coming currency crisis
when the temporary system from >2 ends. I can see lots of things like boats
or caravans being sold off because of the global crisis. This is my e'it
strategy for my copper bullion I am stacking I talk about in the urban mining
chapter.
%nother thing to remember is that owning a boat can be a worry. =ou have to
keep it somewhere and maybe insure it and worry about it. &any times
someone who owns a boat ,ust wants to get shot of it ?uickly especially in a
crisis situation. !ome owners would consider a ton or so of copper bullion
when currency goes to nothing for their lu'ury yacht. When the system from
>2 comes to an end there could be a ma,or crisis and my hope is to offer my
copper bullion for such items. %t the time of writing such a thing seems
unimaginable, but I am certain the temporary fiat international currency
system that was started in 2:>2 will be coming to an end in the near future.
(aves
This most original of human homes is both land and dwelling all.in.one. If
you do decide to go and live in a cave, the caveman name.calling of anti.
Luddites will refreshingly have some literal truth in it for once. Empty caves
e'ist in all countries N I even know one on the outskirts of *ristol, a medium
si5ed -; city N but not all countries have climates that are conducive to
living in a cave, unless youKre what is commonly referred to as a double hard
gee5er.
The good news on this front is that there seem to be more of them in
countries where it is hot enough to live. The even better news is that due to
the stigma 8red 8lintstone and his family and friends have helped attach to
cave dwelling, theyKre not much in demand either. If you fancy it, all I can
say is go off on an adventure and find one. % good place to start, for
beginners, would be (appadocia in Turkey, where caves are rather uni?ue
and plentiful. Ditching or cycling there, before finding one once you arrive,
is the challenge I put up to you.
There are a couple of things to consider if you do go living in cavesB
a) Wild animals who see you as a nice tasty piece of meat, and an even
scarier prospect,
b) Local authorities.
In order to avoid run ins with either, do plenty of local research before you
set up camp. "reparation is also crucial, so donKt ,ust go in as some arrogant
Westerner thinking youKre (rocodile Aundee because you went camping one
night in Aartmoor with a bag full of supermarket food.
(ave dwelling can be a long. or short.term self reliant living option,
depending on what path your life is taking and what you want most out of it.
Aaniel !uelo spends the other half of his year in a cave amongst the
canyonlands of -tah, and he speaks very highly of it. #thers IKve known
have done it for a couple of years here and there, but I have yet to meet
anyone who has done it all year round over a long period of time. E'cept for
our ancestors, for whom it was the norm.
The blackhouse
This was a house traditional to many of the (eltic nations, most commonly
in Ireland and the Dighlands of !cotland and its surrounding islands. The
reason for this was simpleB they were made from materials the locals could
source from their land, they re?uired no money and, with the right skills,
they were reasonably simple to construct and maintain. *lackhouses usually
consisted of an earth or flagstone floor, drystone walls rammed with earth,
wooden rafters covered in thatch 9reed or straw) and a fire place.
Without adaptation 9they generally didnKt have chimneys, instead leaving the
smoke to escape through the roof, for e'ample) there is no way theyKd pass
modern building regulations and most people would see it as a definite step
backwards in terms of comfort. &y personal opinion is that, because of
fossils fuels and the subse?uent economic model that they have helped
mould, our e'pectations around levels of comfort have risen to a point that is
highly unsustainable in the long.term. %s unpopular as it is to actually say
this out loud, I believe that an adapted blackhouse could offer us a fine
balance between comfort and true sustainability and the non.e'ploitation of
the rest of $ature. That said, IKm not sure IKm up for sharing my house with
a couple of sheep and pigs, which is what many people did in the days when
the blackhouse was a commonplace structure.
This dwelling is one which I believe complements a landscape. I could never
look at a blackhouse and consider it a blot. There is something about them
that is ,ust very aesthetically attractive. It is partially the skill, the art, the
craft involved, but I feel it is in no small part due to the fact that the house
has emerged from that particular landscape, and therefore is naturally a part
of it, as opposed to being imported from a hundred other far.flung countries
and their ?uarries and factories. The understanding of what it represents N
simplicity, a care and respect for the land N also adds to its appeal, as the
beauty of a thing lies as much in what it represents as it does in its physical
?ualities.
(heap 9or potentially free) to build, free to run houses
Theoretically, you could build any house for free, especially in a model such
as the resource.based economy that participants in the Peitgeist movement
propose. /ealistically, a dwelling could only be built for free to the degree
that it was made from local materials. Therefore any design that involves
imported materials will very likely have some level of financial 9and
ecological) cost attached to it in most instances, though as we will see
throughout this chapter this is not necessarily so, as we can often use the
detritus of industrialised society to produce the sustainable homes of the
future.
In the rest of this chapter I will look at houses that could be built for free but
are likely to cost something, even if it is a fraction of what you would spend
on a modern bricks and mortar house. To keep costs to the absolute
minimum, use your imagination and try to use what you have at hand, as
much as you possibly can, in the construction process. In all cases, once they
are up they can easily be free to run on an ongoing basis. 8or inspiration,
Lloyd ;ahnKs books !helter, Dome Work and Tiny Domes are e'cellent
sources.
"assive solar designs
If you want to eliminate heating bills, and your corresponding ecological
footprint into the bargain, then one of the best things you can do is build
using a passive solar design, ideally using a locally sourced material such as
cob, which has high thermal mass, as a means of storing the energy created.
Aesigning in a greenhouse, where you propagate and grow whatever plants
you want to eat or use, onto the south facing side of your house is one of the
best methods of doing so. The sun shines in through these windows
throughout the day, heating up the dwelling behind the greenhouse. If you
want a house that heats up ?uickly in the morning, but are happy for it to
cool down in the late evening, then fitting your interiors with wood may be a
good option within such a design. Dowever, if you would prefer to have a
house that takes a little longer to warm up in the morning 9for e'ample, if
you are out of the house until evening) but which then stays warm
throughout the evening until the following morning, then cob may be a
much better alternative, as it slowly radiates the sunKs warmth that it stored
throughout the day.
