Phony Economy Needs to Collapse (Video)

Peter Schiff spoke with Hedgeye TV CEO Keith McCullough this week on “Real Conversations”. Peter discussed his debate with Nouriel Roubini from last week, explaining why Keynesian economists like Roubini are dead wrong when they argue that deflation is bad for the economy. Peter also explained his precious metals strategy based upon what he expects the government to do, not what he hopes it will do. This is an excellent, relaxed introduction to Peter’s investment philosophy.

“If the government acted responsibly, that would counter my [gold] investing thesis. But I’m investing the way I’m investing because I’m sure the government is not going to be responsible. They’re going to be reckless, they’re going to keep on printing money until we have a currency crisis. And so I’m prepared for what I think is going to happen…”

Be Prepared for Sudden Gold Shortages (Video)

Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog interviewed Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars and The Death of Money. Rickards spoke at length about gold price manipulation and the inevitable collapse of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Hunter had one big question for Rickards – when will the collapse occur and the price of gold skyrocket? Rickards thinks it could happen within the next two years and that whatever triggers it will be completely unexpected. One thing Rickards is sure about: gold will be hard to acquire by the time people realize the dollar is worthless.

“You got shortage of physical supply, demand coming from China, demand coming from India, etc. This is a recipe for… either a short squeeze, or somebody somewhere not being able to deliver [gold]. Once that becomes apparent, then you could see this scramble to buy gold… That’s what will take down manipulation… Once the market prevails over the manipulators, then watch out.”

Brace for Impact (Audio)

Peter Schiff spoke with the SGT Report this week, discussing the inevitable decline of the US dollar due to the Federal Reserve’s unrepentant inflationary policies. Peter says that the Fed has locked itself into a box, and no matter how it chooses to escape, it’s already killed the dollar. They also discussed the end of the London Silver Fix and the logic behind keeping your savings in commodities like physical gold and silver.

“[If central bankers are now striving to create inflation] why would anyone want to hold on to dollars, or euros, or yen? The bankers are telling you that it’s a no-win proposition for you, that if you hold this currency… it will be worth less than the year before… [That’s what they’re admitting their goal is] – We do not want our money to hold its value. We want to make sure that money loses value, because we believe that the only way you can have economic growth is if you destroy the value of your money.”

Euro Pacific Precious Metals Now Accepts Bitcoin

We are excited to announce that through a new partnership with BitPay, we now accept bitcoin payments! We are the largest precious metals dealer in the world to do so. Speak with one of our Precious Metals Specialists today for more information. Read the full press release below.

Bitcoin_accepted_here_printable

NEW YORK – BitPay, world leader in business solutions for Bitcoin digital currency, announces a partnership with Euro Pacific Precious Metals. Based in New York City, Euro Pacific Precious Metals is a major international gold and silver dealer – and the world’s largest by volume to accept bitcoin to date.

Euro Pacific Precious Metals is led by famed investor Peter Schiff and specializes in making high-quality bullion coins and bars part of its customers’ financial portfolio. The company has built a reputation for calling out unsavory practices in the gold dealer industry, and for its honest and competitive pricing across all product categories. Executives at Euro Pac Metals regularly seek out new ways to make transactions easier and cheaper for its customers, which is why BitPay was chosen.

“Bitcoin offers tremendous benefits as a medium of exchange for both our domestic and international customers. A wire transfer of fiat funds can be slow and expensive for the customer, and credit card fees are too high to absorb at the low premiums we offer. Not only does BitPay’s service make business sense, but we are excited about giving owners of bitcoin the opportunity to inexpensively and reliably convert any excess holdings into precious metals rather than back to fiat currency,” said Michael Finger, Director of Marketing at Euro Pacific Precious Metals.

This partnership marks another major milestone in the acceptance of bitcoin worldwide, as larger and more global companies embrace the digital currency.

“We are very excited to form a partnership with Euro Pacific Precious Metals, especially right on the heels of our collaboration with Toshiba. BitPay is honored to have a role in helping such global and established companies integrate bitcoin into their payment systems, ” said Tony Gallippi, Executive Chairman of BitPay.

BitPay is attracting merchants who sell low-priced goods where credit card fees are expensive and high-ticket items such as gold and silver where chargebacks are common and costly. Accepting bitcoins allows merchants to make these transactions irreversible, while eliminating the risk of fraud and identify theft for the buyer.

About BitPay
BitPay is a Payment Service Provider (PSP) specializing in eCommerce, B2B, and enterprise solutions for Bitcoin digital currency.

Long-Term Gold Demand Remains Strong (Video)

The World Gold Council has released its Gold Demand Trends report for the first quarter of 2014. Marcus Grubb, the Managing Director of Investment Strategy at the WGC, reviews the key points in the short video below. The big takeaway – while investment demand for gold has predictably dropped from the record highs last year, world gold demand remains virtually unchanged year-over-year.

“Gold demand in Q1 2014 was 1,074 tonnes, almost unchanged compared to the same period the previous year. After an exceptional 2013, gold demand has reverted to its long-term growth path, with the core fundamentals firmly in place. Jewelry remains the biggest driver of gold demand… Investment demand remains steady. Central banks also continue to be committed purchasers of gold.”

A Different Type of Housing Bubble (Video)

Peter Schiff appeared on Fox Business this morning to debate whether or not the US housing market is actually recovering. Peter argued that another bubble is forming in housing, but it is different from the last. If you’re thinking about getting back into real estate instead of buying physical gold or silver, you might want to reconsider.

“The Federal Reserve inflated the first housing bubble… But there’s a big difference between the bubble they’ve created this time and the last one… This is a Wall Street bubble. The average American is too broke to buy a house. Home ownership rates are at 19 year lows. Most Americans are renting… All the construction was in multi-family.”
