Rejoice USDC, Tether et al. More Volume Coming!
Crypto Short Selling of US 1 T to help fund the gold and silver buy now, before prices get to high?
Imo likely, but it will be partly coordinated by the FED expanding the money supply with more QE.
QE expansion by the FRB will free up even more fiat to buy physical metals, which is the 'regime's end game'.
Will TetherGold benefit? Absolutely. Rothschild's PAXGold too, as both will get more volume and earn more fees.
The obvious US Strategic Reserve Big 4 will play a role to expanding and expressing fiat as needed to cover automated day trading position swings to take advantage of peaks and valleys with both private 'wallet to wallet' Whale exchanges (probably public ones making up a significant majority) and public CEXes having good sized liquidity locked in the Big 4 also playing a role to move the fiat liquidity around to the right places to buy mostly silver, and some gold.
Will silver hit US $200 as Schectman implies in QTR's Fringe Finance post on Zerohedge? (see link list below)
Imo that is highly likely, but only after mid-terms.
In the mean time, the Big 4 CRYPTOS BTC ETH SOL AND ADA are likely going to take a market valuation 'haircut' reduction in the run up to the mid-terms to move the fiat liquidity into the right places to facilitate more gold and silver buying.
Why? Because the return of the King. Gold needs a much higher price valuation to convert all that fiat out there so it can ride on top of (as national currencies) a basket of physical real world assets of gold, silver and whatever is deemed valuable by nation states looking to join the West's re-engineering of future modern money, going forward. (Because the current F'ing system of fiat run by BIS and their regime members is totally broken, having stolen as much from the middle and working class as possible, so time to convert to full reserve to avoid a 'rope and lamp posts' outcome, which all of these turds running this money system fear the most, their own private "Ceausescu" moment.)
As such , Silver trading at 56:1 Ratio to Gold has room to grow into a higher price to reflect more closely what is the normal physical extraction ratio of Silver to Gold 7:1.
The RISE of SILVER: to the Moon Soon to US $200?
So let's say Gold goes conservatively to US $5000 by year end.
Well let's say the Silver to Gold ratio drops to 50:1, then if the price discovery and supply discovery is honest the price of Silver would be using 10:1 ratio to be conservative since it won't adjust properly due to 'inaccurate' price and supply information, the price of Silver would be US $500.
We all know that is not going to happen, given the current ruling collective 'West' national regimes are not all on the same page and never will be.
So split the difference 50/50 as far as outcomes are concerned post US mid-terms, IF the current US regime manages to buy the Senate and House, we could see Silver over US $200 by year end.
If the current regime loses or transforms into something else like an ugly lame duck admin, then all bets are off on the price of Silver, as we don't really know the political positions of either of those alternative outcomes, do we?
The Big 4 Whale Squeeze-Expressing Fiat and Losing Market Cap:
SOL, ETH, BTC and ADA, in that order..
I usually get what's left of my hair trimmed short in the summer when it get's hot. Well the political scene heat will ramp up through the summer with Mass Media hysteria and alt media hystria shaping the size and pace of the the Big 4 Whale holder's crypto sell-off moves to shift even more purchasing action into Silver and gold, really 100% silver if they are smart.
Will the Big 4 Squeeze express -20% of their value into US Stablecoins to the tune of 100%? Not likely as there will be big wallet to wallet moves, so keep your blockchain scanners on alert. Don't be be looking for Big Wallet Value moves to a single wallet though look for what appears to be random moves strung over days to lots of mid size wallets in mid size value chunks leaving the Big 4 Whale Wallets, which are really collections of wallets, run but automated trading systems, disguised to look a lot like retail movement of many small investors.
Big 4 Crypto Paying the Political Influence Peddling Bills? Yeah but not directly..
By How much? Well, crypto has been taken down to 65% market cap before during the spring and summer, so expect same, with say 60%-80% of that loss in market value flushed through US Stablecoins over an extended period, likely from now to the early summer, that is my guess. It's won't be smooth either, as automated systems will be programmed to buy back in on the way down to the target 'expression' of fiat goal, with much used to by Gold and Silver , say 80% of the fiat expression, and the other used to pay for the right political outcome to keep the current drivers of the money system eating our buying power in control.
These 'vested interest' US and World Megalomaniacs sense now their herds are not yet full agitated, especially in the US, the world's biggest market, that is, not agitated enough to in mass, take action to overwhelm the police in order to string them up, so they will squeeze us sheep some more via QE and more rising price inflation, so as to buy as much gold and silver as possible, right now, through the next few months I suspect, just before their summer holiday kicks in beginning of June 2026.
That means the Big 4 crypto Plays #SOL, #ETH, #BTC and #ADA will have their market cap 'shorn' to about 65% of what it currently is imo, or another -35% drop.
Gold and Silver 'Backdoor Boogie' ?- The Middle and Working Class get it..,
Some of the physical metal buys will slip out the back door to fund various participating western state political entity 'collaborates' to buy the right voter outcomes in those places, so both the current US regime stays in power and other foreign political movements likewise aligned also stay in or come to power in their own next elections. Once that happens post mid terms with the right result Silver rises to US 200? Likely, especially when they announce full reserve basket now includes silver, and not just gold as the primary full reserve asset.
When that happens, we the small crypto 'retail' investor will have already seen the middle and working class suffer through more inflation in the form of prices rises in the valuation of homes and also see the automotive industry go back to raising prices to cover the cost of the silver they use in their products, as the mass media cover story.
So if you are part of the middle and working class you will be the "Boogie" recipient of this backdoor 'pay for political favors' action, combined with Big Whale stash gold and silver set of actions, designed by the collective regimes to back up future currency deflated revaluations, likely deflated in value at least 50% to fit 'full reserve', to be fully backed/collateralized by whatever the mix of physical real world assets gold, silver and other valued physical assets that will make up each nation's future 'basket of strategic reserves'.
JIT Liquidity: Fiat and Crypto's Missing Liquidity Feature- TVL is not enough.
JIT Liquidity is an Absolute must have Feature, should the collective regimes of the world decide to
"Support a World COLLECTION OF National Physical Full Reserve Money Baskets to back their own National Currencies"
TVL Total Locked Value just does not measure up in the above use case.
Why? the fact that the liquidity required to conveniently backup up the issue of loans and settlement between buyer and seller in convenient 'near real time' is just inefficient by design in current cryptos. TVL as mechanism is really only used today to prop up the market cap value of these BIG 4 Fiat sponges.
The liquidity lock up problem that has prevented full reserve banking from happening in the world, in the pas with trying to use physical gold as the 'real world asset' physical money standard to settle accounts has been solved.
This time Full reserve can be enabled , backed by physical real world assets with a digital JIT Liquidity overlay,
combined with uncompromising data privacy encryption which can never be cracked, so called Shannon's Perfect One Time Pad, OTP secrecy (circa 1949). Look it up, Shannon OTP secrecy exists don't take my word for it. How one implements Shannon OTP in real live use cases effectively is really the challenge, a challenge Crypto has solved in bits and pieces, laying there in the wide open ready for somebody in the cryptosphere to solve this big PUZZLE CHALLENGE.
Designing and Building a Quantum Safe Full Reserve Money backed by physical real world assets with JIT Liquidity service the backing/collateral needs of national currencies and crypto-currencies has just one big caveat,
it must be Quantum-Safe.
CryptoCurencies, all of them ARE NOT QUANTUM SAFE by design.
The not so great news for the Big 4 crypto and all of the cryptosphere for that matter.
The NIST standards that are dictated by FIPS compliance regulations adopted by finance, health the government and other parts of the economy are not Quantum Safe by design.
Instead NIST sells the game of cryptographic encryption agility where WHEN these NIST approved encryption schemes get broken, Not IF, but WHEN they get broken, those systems, services and yes cryptocurrency projects should just 'fork lift' upgrade at their cost and effort to one that has not been broken, yet. If you don't upgrade you will be sued by the governments who have adopted NIST for not following their guidelines to provide your customers with data privacy.
Go Figure.
Now how dumb is that? Well dumb enough for EVERYONE to be duped into believing they are protected by NIST.
MATHEMATICS BASED CRYPTOGRAPHY WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR CRYPTOCURRENCY PROJECT
All of Cryptography today that is Math based has a problem, it's called exploitable patternicity, something Quantum Computers hosting much Qubit Count power can exploit very quickly to enable the theft of what you all think is your private data.
The fix?
Discrete Deterministic Chaos Driven Cryptographic Key Generation, and more..,
Employing the use of discrete deterministic chaos into several phases of different types of obfuscation at low cost in just a few cpu cycles to create what is called a mathematical barren plateau. A barren plateau devoid of any pattern, which defeats the Qubit Powered decryption scheme using logarithmic amplification. This latter method is used by Qubit Powered decryption hackers to re-characterize a string of 'copied and stolen' now encrypted data as more easily detectable 'ups and downs', so as to apply known decryption mathematics techniques designed to reveal patternicity in that data string, so as to discover/compare and map any pattern to known plain text values that could represent the plain text key value used to protect/encrypt and make private(to the key holder) the data "Harvested Now for Decryption Later" , really stolen by the hacker in the first place.
The good news for the cryptosphere, there are few vendors like Qrypt, ShapeShift and Arqit that actually employ some form of discrete deterministic chaos to generated keys, which if deployed properly per each vendor's design, will protect one's cryptocurrency project, BIG 4 included, to be Quantum-SAFE. The caveat here is this technology is not free like what NIST makes public in the FOSS domain on github. Also these vendors differ widely in what they have to offer and what data "in Operation", "In-transit" and " at rest" they can protect. Every IT Application, System or Service out there is different, so expertise is required to get this right, and that expertise is not free, even if these vendors "open source" their implementations as code, with or without decent documentation.
These three vendors plus a handful doing same, are but 10 vendors or less of the over 4,500 crypto vendors and or FOSS offers that are out there, 98% of them point solutions doing only one thing really well.
The trick when selecting from this handful of vendors is to really have your story, requirements and specification in order, aligned with what is Professor Michele Mosca's guidelines (University of Waterloo) for Data Privacy to get Quantum SAFE in a timely fashion without breaking the bank. These guidelines really boil down to the common sense of protect your high value, long living data privacy first as these will be prioritized by the hackers trying to steal your keys and your data as the most lucrative and/or politically useful.
The other Cryptosphere features supporting JIT liquidity that needs work: ERC-721 NFTs and Price Oracles
JIT Liquidity needs to be to be Quantum-Safe tethered to something akin to NFT to enable Full reserve Money backed by physical real world assets.
Securely Tethering liquidity allows the Validation node operator to host the whitelist offer of that liquidity, value itself which is created/determined to be fair(to users of the JIT full reserve physical real world asset backed liquidity) at NFT Genesis by referencing fair/true/honest public verifiable price discovery of the actual physical asset tethered to the ths modified NFT with one owner or multiple 'multi-sig' owners.
Dynamic Full or Partial Fungibility and Trusted Price Discovery combined with Whitelisting issue of Consensus approved Liquidity Offer Quoting
The one other trick is taking this ERC-721 Ethereum Request fro Comment (approved by the Ethereum Community big wigs) is to add elastic issue burn, retire end of term burn and replenish logic, as well as periodic logic that balances local accounting depreciation rules against the asset value where it applies (ie car, house, precious antiquities), those physical real world assets securely bound to this NFT like structure) to the actual re-pricing of value, where the value of such assets attached AND the utility of the system hosting the issue of liquidity are also factored in as appreciation, after first checking the oracles supplying such publicly trusted price discovery (Think LINK and Chainlink).
as backing/collateral for debt and transaction settlement, solved in 'bits and pieces' in the cryptocurrency space partly by 'Stacking which needs to be tweaked some more "Total Value Locked TVL is the jargon that world uses to put a US $ value on the Liquidity 'staked').
JIT Liquidity= "Bye Bye" to TVL fractionalized Reserve Fiat Sponge Cryptocurrencies
JIT Liquidity will likely be part of the "Big Reset" solution this currently ruling set of distributed network of regimes will likely use to solve the physical full reserve asset 'liquidity lockup'.
The latter simply means the liquidity is not in the right place at the right time to back debt issue or transaction settlements.
The "Big Reset" types will likely re-integrate these cryptosphere 'bits' mentioned above, rejigging their logic to employ a full reserve money system (with true/trusted price discovery, also recorded on public blockchains and recognized in the courts as legal) to back up/collateralize the existing higher levels of medium of exchange(national currencies), to save themselves as mentioned before, from a rope and lamp post 'swinging' outcome.
DLO- Is me, that is TK's attempt to explain the above in github like form
Go here to read the above in a more crypto geek form. It's free, use it as you like, the more the merrier. I offer no gurantees the concept will work as described, it's simply my creative juices flowing into Codeberg for anyone to use and to suggest improvements as they see fit. (So far its crickets from the limited number of people that know about it or have been given the link..)
The Future of Modern Money: Will the Cryptopshere be the Dominant Contributor?
At the Moment? Nah, too many big WHALE manipulators of BIG projects with other 'vested interest' outcomes in mind.
It will be the little Raptor "out of the box" thinkers in crypto that really lead the cryptosphere in the right direction, and it won't be Gen Z or GenY or Gen I or Gen X or Gen Jones doing it on their own.
Imo, the swat rescue teams 'for the people' will be seen emerging as the "Odd Squads", each a different mix of all of the generations young, middle age and old, parked in little projects in github and the like(don't forget Codeberg if you can't stand big biz control of your FOSS) that make the Future of Money break through, for the people.
The future of modern money backing mediums of exchange then with full reserve with physical real world assets will likely imo take some form similar to the Dynamic Liquidity Ocean Concept ( or something similar)
for the link above and this link below
https://codeberg.org/Thunderboltkid/DLO
The Ropes will be Attached and Tightened around Big Whales in 2026?
That Future of Money will only be largely cryptosphere driven IF the collective set of 'vested interests' driving the political scenes decides to go there at the direction of their BIG Whales, so that IF is still a VERY BIG if
The wild cards influencing BIG WHALE behavior will be the various herds of 'nation state' humans and their rising level of collective unrest with in their current political restrictions, unrest foisted on them by their own nation state megalomaniacs, politicians and Big Whales alike.The BIG Whales getting called out by the herd in their nation state will likely navigate and re-locate to 'BIG Whale friendly' nation states who need, like their money and other shite.
Right now the herd unrest is clearly rising fast globally, anyone paying attention to uncompromisingly honest Alt media infor will know that. Imo some these regimes in the west will get trashed and replaced this summer with F, UK and D being the big three likely being F UK 'D, scheduled by their herds to be taken down at the polls, or maybe otherwise by the Summer of 2026. Will any of theses totally compromised political muppet leaders and their minions get thrown under the bus by their vested interest control freaks to meet their 'rope and lamp post' destinies in 2026? Time will tell.
So I choose to write about the way out of this fiat mess, the root cause of everything bad in this world, as a way of venting constructively, sounding a type of positive alarm if you like, while giving back 'to the people' based own my own life's many and varied experiences.
It's about all I can do it a positive manner with the remaining years of my life, short of painting loyal hilarious dogs and finicky, curious cats and taking good care of those people and creatures that are good in my life and good in and to the local neighbourhood.
TK over and out.

A Special Note from the GWN:
--Me? I reside currently in the land of "Duh", prefaced by the letters C-A-N-A.

As a resident of this multi-vassal state really owned and directed by five competing 24*7 bigger Super States: CN(West coast); USA(everywhere); UK(Upper Canada, really Ontario); F(Lower Canada , really Kbec+ the Maritimes); and IN(Everywhere), the five of them collectively and continually raping, pillaging, overpopulating, exploiting, brain draining, ruining and supposedly running this joint, I have no choice but to roll with their collusion, skulduggery, arrogance, corruption, rip-offs, shitty imports, political punches, forced indigenous unemployment and economic tariff blows, all of it imposed or insidiously devised by each to oust the "old stock" and bring in the complacent 'happy to be out of their hell hole' replacements to do what we call "the bum boy" jobs.
That is, we current old stock have always been good at digging up stuff, shipping it out, growing stuff and shipping it out, importing crap and, as they say in Kbec "filling up holes with concrete" plus, in our past time we are good at (not the best anymore) playing and watching hockey. ( I don't count getting hammered and getting stoned as professions, those are cultural rights in which we partake, more frequently these days.)
The above leaves me watching my buying power 'circle the drain' in real time as Canadian Federal Govt QE drives prices of everything through the roof. The nation state's rapid population replacement and controlled demolition takes place as engineered by our proxies per their BIG Whale foreign state controllers, hell bent on renovating what used to be a decent place to be, maybe 60 years ago. Today 7 % of the population is from India, up from 3% in just 5 years. These East Indian newcomers, many of them largely unskilled, collectively now run large swaths of the restaurant and fast food trades in the big cities and are pushing the old stock out of truck driving jobs as well, working for less money after they 'pass' their driver exams. The Indian imports sponsored by the Canadian federal govt with CDN tax payer dollars (really QE deficit spending handed out to large corps as hiring and rental housing credits ) are now 2x bigger than the First Nations with 2 million now having expired work visas that the Federal govt has no way of processing such volume in timely fashion. So the expired visa types will disappear in the growing 'black markets for goods and services' which is growing as fast as Canadians not paying their taxes, really rapidly. (It's a big tax revolt nobody is talking about, one the government of Canada does not give a shite about or report on, as they QE print money 'willy nilly' to pay for immigration subsidies to large corporations)
As far as the futures goes in Canada, there really isn't one in this country for the large majority of younger generations of 'old stock' except for the ultra elite acting as proxies for others to get rid of them for a profit.
Gen A doesn't know it yet, Gen Z is just figuring it out(and sorta, kinda of not liking it, you know, like) while their rival Gen Y are still immersed in gaming, watching sports, UFC and waiting for their parent(s) to croak to collect their inheritance (Yeah they work sometimes too in the gig economy formed for them, largely by them, and yea imo Most of this is true in most cases). Gen X is engineering a lot of the shite happening to 'get even with their remaining Boomer Parent(s) (Witness the success of the 'Top Yourself' Federally funded and provincially administered MAID program now aimed at depressed anyone) and then Gen Jones (of which I am part) caught in between X and the Boomers, who are just voting with their feet and leaving, in droves. Gen Jones have no incentive to hang around to take any more abuse from their Gen Y PAS (Parent Alienation Syndrome) kids, so they retire to the USA (Trailer here I come.).
Will the lone 'semi-sane' Gen I types sandwiched between Gen Y and Gen X NPCs 'right the good ship 'Canuck'?. I wish them good luck. There area few well grounded Gen Ys and Gen Zs but not that many that will also help out.
Gen I in Canada are coming of age 39 to 48, entering senior management in public and private roles and are now jousting with the Gen X ideologue 'tards' to get their hands on the controls of this place. Maybe Gen I pulls it off and saves Confederation? Who knows. It's not looking like this place will survive the Alberta Referendum, especially when the Quebec separatists look to do the same in their upcoming election this year. I wish Gen I luck.
Canadian Whales? Almost Extinct, to the Rescue? Lol, followed by the sound of Crickets.
That said, It could be the Big WHALES in the USA like the idea of the Republic of Alberta, after all Texas tech really built the place, so I can see our cousins to the south helping make that real while setting up a 'no access to markets' bulwark against China's 'success' in British Columbia 'BC', to keep China and the CCP from leaking any more into the rest of their USA interests in Canada (namely also concentrated in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the Yukon, NWT and Keewatin) all to the right and north/north east of Alberta respectively the latter also east of our 'left' coast called BC. Such a USA Whale move would stop the CCP advance into Canada, but will do nothing to clean up the East Indian Invasion unless the USA Whales also architect a regime change to get rid of the Rockefeller control of this company which was installed in Canada in Montreal in the dirty 30s (at the end of several guns), When Standard Oil struck a bargain deal in Montreal to buy from Charles Trudeau (a died in the wool Conservative looking at those guns), that's right Pierre Elliot Trudeau's Father and Justin's Grand Pappy 32 gas stations in 1930 and the Montreal refineries set up to feed them (and the North East USA, Especially Maine and New Hampshire as well as Vermont Mass and NYC.)
As signaled in the news this week, the CCP now owns the Canadian Federal government openly, something that has been quietly building since the late 50s, started under the direction of MAO, when Justin Trudeau's father Pierre used to run shot gun with MAO as the CPP slaughtered and chased the Chinese Imperialists to Taipei/Taiwan.
We should remember MAO's great success this way? (If you trust Brave's Machine Learning sources)
"During the Chinese Civil War (1945–1949), official Communist figures reported approximately 600,000 Nationalist troops killed in combat, with nearly 7 million captured. Additionally, around 1.5 million People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers were dead or wounded, and about 5 million civilians died due to combat, famine, and disease."-Brave AI Assisted Search.
Ontario, well, its still largely a US Branch Plant vassal province. Ontarians are currently deceived by 'small time Teddy Bear' Doug Ford, the fair weather, wannabe elitist (and totally dufuss) politician from Toronto who 'cowtows' to whom ever writes the biggest check to his personal account in the current week(and which must also create the biggest photo Opportunity on linkedin). Today Ford's twelve tooth grin supports the US Auto Industry in Canada, as they hustle to block CCP EV imports.(Expect an 'unfit to drive' on US Roads ruling to block their entry into the USA from Canada.)
And that's Canaduh, eh. Always destined to 'Go down' big time.
The only Question will be, who will prevail of the 5 Masters vying for control for the GWN? My bet is on the USA, as they have been defending the perimeter and skies of Canada since WWII.
