Mark Cuban Comparing Gold and Bitcoin With Baseball Cards

The American billionaire Mark Cuban has again demonstrated that he is not a supporter of cryptocurrencies and does not own them.

Recently, speaking at the Shark Tank show, he expressed his opinion on the value of digital currencies and the impact of coronavirus on world markets.

Cuban said that he would not choose either gold or Bitcoin as assets since their value is determined approximately the same:

He said that “with Bitcoin, some people value it as a store of value, which makes it like baseball cards, art [and] gold.” He continued, adding that people want to invest in gold “because they think, if certain circumstances occur, there will be other potential buyers at that value.”

Cuban also believes that cryptocurrencies are too complex to become mass adopted. According to him, 99% of the world’s population may not understand how they work.

About blockchain potential

Despite the negative attitude towards cryptocurrencies and gold, Mark Cuban is optimistic about the value of blockchain technology.

“When people say there’s no intrinsic value to crypto, they don’t really look at the value of blockchain. Blockchain in general does have at least a basic intrinsic value […] not as high as what crypto trades for,” he said.

According to him, blockchain technology has “basic intrinsic value”, although “it is not as high as cryptocurrencies are traded.”

It is interesting that among the connoisseurs of blockchain technology were Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, who also believe that “there is no value” in cryptocurrencies themselves.

Gold picks up once more, but near term correction still threatens
By: Hantec Markets
Tags: Technical Analysis, Forex, Trade, Gold, Market

Trading outlook:With a degree of near term profit-taking setting in, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement has become a key gauge. We continue to see near term weakness within the 3 month uptrend as a chance to buy.

Fundamentals/Newsflow

Gold is running once more with strengthening correlation to moves on US Treasury yields. Falling yields are positive for gold. The swing of risk appetite is back as a key gauge for near term moves on gold.

Fundamentally we remain medium-term bullish, due to the increasingly dovish interest rate expectations and increasingly negative real yields. We see any near term weakness therefore as a chance to buy whilst markets remain spooked by Coronavirus. Volatility across markets could provide another drop on gold, but we see this would be an opportunity. Equally, we cannot rule out another margin call related sell-off similar to that on 28th February, but once more this would be a near term phenomenon that would be a chance to buy.

Support

$1642–10th March low and 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of $1445/$1702

$1626–3rd March intraday low

$1611 — old key breakout, January 2020 high

Resistance

$1667 — intraday highs — 10th and 11th March

$1671 — intraday high 10th March

$1685–9th March intraday high

Technical Analysis

We have been discussing the prospect of a near term gold corrective move in recent sessions. On a technical basis, a couple of negative candles in a row (even if Monday’s closing price was higher) has threatened this. Some interesting developments have occurred in the past 24 hours. Firstly a small top pattern completed below a pivot around $1660 which implies a target of around -$40. This rolling over has also posted a bear cross on Stochastics, whilst MACD lines and RSI have also lost impetus. We continue to see near term pullbacks within what is now a three month uptrend, as being a chance to buy. The market has though (positively) already found support around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement (of $1445/$1702) at $1641. The near term outlook is subsequently mixed. It would turn positive again above a lower high of $1680, whilst closing decisively back under $1660 leaves the corrective momentum in place. Below $1641 the target of $1620 resumes.
The Gold and Beautiful

The Gold and Beautiful, photo courtesy of Metals.com

For centuries, gold has been admired for its radiance and beauty. Used as currency, decorations, jewelry and more, gold has been seen as one of the most valuable commodities since antiquity. But gold has not only been used for these purposes. Gold has also been used as a component of several beauty regiments as far back as ancient Egypt, Rome, and China.

It was believed that gold had certain properties that rejuvenated skin and treated a number of maladies such as lesions and sores. While silver has been known for its antiseptic properties for some time, gold has been seen as equally valuable for maintaining beautiful skin.

It is believed that Cleopatra wore gold masks every night in order to help keep her skin youthful and vibrant. Gold is still seen as a valuable beauty treatment today, as a number of creams, moisturizers, and other skin applications include small amounts of gold to help keep skin vibrant. Not only has gold been used to treat topical skin issues, it has been used to help transport oxygen molecules into the skin in an effort to promote cell renewal.

In addition, gold compounds can be added to different types of medicines to help reduce inflammation.

There are many uses for gold when it comes to improving the look and makeup of skin, such as:

Reducing wrinkles, age spots and blemishes

Using gold to activate basal cells, thereby increasing skin’s elasticity

Improving blood circulation by using gold ions to stimulate cells and nerves

Moisturizing skin and reducing the effects of aging

Reducing the production of melanin after overexposure to the sun

While gold has a long history of being used as a beautifying product, its place as a precious metal for collectors and investors is still intact. Products such as the American Gold Eagle coin and the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin, both available from Metals.com, remain as valuable commodities.

With gold bullion still being popular, those who desire to find additional uses for this precious metal can look into a variety of beauty products available on the market featuring gold. It’s not only a valuable collection and investment commodity, it can be used to help improve your skin, extend your life and give you more time to enjoy the precious metal.

As Stocks Gyrate, Investors Scoop Up Tons and Tons of Gold
Tags: Investment, Gold, Finance, Investing, Trading

The haven has benefited from sustained inflows in recent days as the markets’ virus-driven gyrations and expectations for interest rate cuts spur large, consistent demand.

Net inflows into gold-backed exchange-traded funds topped 55 tons over the three days to Tuesday, lifting the overall total to a fresh record, according to a preliminary tally. That accounts for almost a third of year-to-date inflows, and came as the S&P 500 Index nosedived then jumped.

Bullion’s rallied this year as central banks ease policy to cushion the impact of the crisis. Still, the chance of a U.S. recession within the next 12 months has surged to the highest since the country exited the last downturn in 2009. With the Federal Reserve seen paring rates next week after an emergency cut, demand for havens could rise further.

So far this year, ETFs have risen 170.5 tons. That dwarfs 2018’s full-year gain of just under 80 tons, and is more than half the 323.4 tons added last year.

Spot gold climbed as much as 0.7% to $1,660.18 an ounce, and was at $1,659.38 at 11:53 a.m. in Singapore. Prices touched $1,703.39 on Monday, the highest since December 2012. Among other main precious metals, silver was up 1.1% while platinum added 0.4% and palladium was little changed.

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) & Co. predicts the Fed will cut rates by a full percentage point to the lowest level since 2015 by the end of next week, a more aggressive move than anticipated by other Wall Street banks. There’s “no good reason for the Fed to ‘keep its powder dry”, — it said.

09:00 EUR Euro-Zone Industrial Production w.d.a. (FEB) Forecast -1.0% Previous -1.1%

Measures the volume change of output of the manufacturing and energy sector. The industrial sector contributes to only a quarter of the Euro-zone GDP. However, most variations in GDP come from the industrial sector, whereas other sectors that contribute far more to national output historically have been very consistent regardless of economic cycles. That is why tracking industrial production is very important for forecasting GDP changes. Note: The Industrial Production figure can be adjusted for the number of working days in the given time period and/or seasonally to account for weather related changes in production.

3.Technical Analysis

The USDJPY has broken through the decline trend yesterday, so it has changed into a wider oscillation zone now. The resistance and support are 112.1 and 110.8 respectively. In addition, the indicators of MACD and RSI are both performed a bullish signal on the 4 hour chart. For the trading strategy: the price is near a hesitate position, waiting for the breakthrough and open for new positions.

The gold price was in our expectation and dropped down because of the declined trend line on the daily candlestick chart.

Gold was unchanged ahead of the Fed Jackson Hole symposium
By: Ipg Group
Tags: Gold, Economics, Gold Price, Fed

Gold was flat on Thursday as investors grew cautious ahead of comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell this week that could provide clues to the central bank’s plans to scale back its economic stimulus.

Spot gold was flat at $1,790.63 per ounce by 0037 GMT. Prices fell 0.7% in the previous session, their biggest one-day fall in more than two weeks.

U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $1,793.00.

The dollar index was steady, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed at record highs.

Powell is due to speak on Friday at the Fed’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where markets will seek guidance on tapering the fed’s bond-buying program.

New orders for key U.S.-made capital goods were unexpectedly flat in July amid supply constraints and a shift in demand to services, suggesting that business spending on equipment could slow in the second half after robust growth over the past year.

Holdings of the SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, fell 0.3% to 1,001.72 tonnes on Wednesday, the lowest level since April 2020.

Silver was flat at $23.85 per ounce, while platinum was flat at $996.20.

Palladium fell 0.1% to $2,426.17.
Rare 'Double Eagle' gold coin sells for a record $18.9M at Sotheby’s.
Tags: Nft Collectibles, Gold, Nftcollector, Coins, Cryptocurrency

Rare 'Double Eagle' gold coin sells for a record $18.9M at Sotheby’s.

Background of the Farouk-Weitzman 1933 Double Eagle B. Max Mehl, a successful Texas-based coin dealer operating in the mid-20th century, originally purchased the coin from Philadelphia-based jeweler Israel Switt and sold it to a representative of King Farouk of Egypt on February 23, 1944.

After Farouk was deposed by a military coup in 1952, many of his holdings were sold at auction. Conducted by Sotheby’s in Cairo in 1954, the sale featured many American rarities but, at the last minute, the 1933 double eagle was withdrawn – possibly at the behest of the U.S. government. The coin didn’t make its way home, however, and disappeared for decades.

A 1933 double eagle, ostensibly the Farouk specimen, surfaced in 1995. Unsold lots from the 1954 Sotheby’s sale were being sold by an Egyptian jeweler to Andre de Clermont, a director of Spink’s London. Clermont and his business partner Stephen Fenton bought the 1933 double eagle from the jeweler for $325,000. The United States Secret Service seized the coin in a sting operation when Fenton tried to sell it on February 8, 1996. After a five-year court case resulted in an agreement that the coin would be publicly auctioned–the proceeds from the sale split evenly between Fenton and the United States Mint–the coin was put up for sale at Sotheby’s in New York City on July 30, 2002.

At the July 2002 sale, bids were taken via phone as 500 spectators looked on. The coin was sold to Weitzman in nine minutes for $6.6 million (Sotheby’s 15% fee bringing the price to $7.59 million). A Certificate of Monetization from the Federal Government authorizing the issuance of the coin added the final $20.

In the nearest future, it is expected the production of the 1 billion PayMon tokens.

Gold as a Currency: How Was It?
Tags: Gold, Finance, History, Money, USA

People have used gold as a currency throughout the history of humanity. The earliest known use of gold refers to Iron Age Anatolia of the late 7th century BC, to the kingdom of Lydia.

Herodotus wrote:

So far as we have any knowledge, they [the Lydians] were the first people to introduce the use of gold and silver coins and the first who sold goods by retail.

The Earliest Use of Gold as a Currency

The first real gold coins originated in Lydia, Western Turkey, in the 6th century BC. Ancient people found these coins in the local rivers. They were from electrum (a natural mix of gold and silver, 54% gold to 44% silver).

Since most of the early Lydian coins include no writing, it is difficult to define its exact age. So, the dating of them only relies on archaeological evidence. Most often scientists quote the evidence from excavations at the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, which is the site of the earliest known deposit of electrum coins.

Since the archeologists discovered the oldest lion head coins in the temple, they did not seem to have been used in commerce. Their earliest usage may have been ritual objects, such as badges or medals, issued by priests. It took a little more time before people started using ancient gold coins as a currency for commerce and trade.

Early electrum coins were not standard in weight, so they weighed from 17.2 grams (0.55 troy oz) to 0.2 grams (.006 troy oz).

Later coins generally showed a picture of a lion or bull on the face and a punch mark or seal on the opposite side. The lion on this coin was a symbol of royalty since Lydia was famous for its wealth and its king Croesus (561–547 BC). Consequently, people immortalized him in the saying ‘as rich as Croesus.’

The Concept of Gold Standard

The treasury secretary under President Abraham Lincoln Salmon Chase printed the first US paper currency in 1861. The Gold Standard assured that gold was the only metal for redeeming paper currency, and the government had to redeem paper money for its value in gold. At first, it set the gold value at $20.67 an ounce​.

In the 1800s, willing to standardize transactions in the developing market, most countries adopted the gold standard.

The USA held most of the world’s gold. As a result, most countries pegged their currency value to the dollar instead of gold.

By 1970, the USA only kept $14.5 billion in gold against foreign dollar holdings of $45.7 billion.

Eventually, the gold standard stopped functioning on August 15, 1971. The USA President Nixon changed the dollar/gold relationship to $38 per ounce. He no longer allowed the Fed to redeem US dollars with gold.

The Big History Behind January 6th, Part 2: Gold, Silver, and Cryptocurrency
By: Dave Troy
Tags: Silver, January 6 2021, Gold, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency

This is Part 2 in a series. Listen to the audio version here.

Steve Bannon in around 1993–1994, when he was working on BioSphere 2. (C-Span)

Before Steve Bannon’s name was well-known in the realm of politics, he was known for intervening in the strange, cultish science experiment known as Biosphere 2. He was hired by Texas oil billionaire Ed Bass to help curb costs on the project as it was widely seen as getting out of control. In broad strokes, Biosphere 2 was a kind of “Burning Man” happening, but re-cast as science fair project set in the Arizona desert. Run by a collective of theater geeks, it arguably was as much a product of the counter-culture as it was any kind of scientific exploration. Its purpose? To discover the effects of climate change. Bannon was the perfect person to put a pin it, and in early 1994, he did.

In May 2001, former child actor Brock Pierce (First Kid, The Mighty Ducks), then aged 20, started a company called Internet Gaming Entertainment, or IGE. Pierce had found that he could “mine” virtual goods in games like EverQuest that could be sold to other players around the world who wanted a shortcut to success in the game. IGE helped popularize something important: selling intangible goods online for real money, at an arbitrary valuation.

Brock Pierce in The Mighty Ducks. (Disney, 1992)

Pierce knew he was onto something big, but he didn’t know how to scale it. He needed an army of freelance “miners,” preferably operating in markets where labor is inexpensive. After several years of trying unsuccessfully to scale, the company brought on the former Goldman Sachs investment banker of Biosphere 2 fame, Steve Bannon, who replaced Pierce as CEO.

On February 7, 2006, Bannon secured a $60 million investment in IGE from Goldman Sachs. $20 million went to Pierce, so he could take some capital off the table. The company went on to expand into selling goods for multiple games including World of Warcraft. When Bannon departed in 2012 to lead Breitbart News, the company floundered, with assets purchased by other firms.

Brittany Kaiser, Brock Pierce, Karla Ballard, and Akon. This is actually real.

But in 2009, others had figured out a way to sell a virtual good that wasn’t tied to video games. An anonymous inventor using the name Satoshi Nakamoto unleashed Bitcoin on the world. Brock Pierce went on to become a major investor in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and in 2020, he ran for president.

His campaign manager? None other than Cambridge Analytica refugee and Steve Bannon collaborator, Brittany Kaiser.

Deep Roots.
Tags: Weddings, Marriage, Religion, Love, Roots

I am a brahmin from Rajasthan who has been brought up to put the family first. The only time I didn’t do that was when I chose to marry a Punjabi from New Delhi. For those who don’t seem to get the difference, watch “Two States” ya! (XD) I thought that it’s just a movie that cannot be applied to me, and I even made my boyfriend (now fiance :P) watch it with me. And now I am shocked to see that resemblance (it’s funny because it’s true (sobs in the corner) XD).

Photo by Giorgio Parravicini on Unsplash

(This picture is to keep all the stereotypical happy with their imagination LOL).

Apart from the cultural gap due to the different religions we follow, we observed the difference in thought-process. I have seen people in my house chasing the family traditions. Now that I look at these things, I feel that we weren’t grown up to chase after the world, but just our people. The only problem is that I have no idea whether it’s right or not.

I am rooted in a small town in Rajasthan, where we don’t need a television for news, we all know each other (not that we don’t have televisions, we just prefer to call it a stupid box and catch up with people). So my wedding was anyway a big deal. It is no less than an event of the decade. But, the loveliest part about families is that they always keep their children’s wishes above their own.
WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE A STRETCH TENT FOR YOUR SUFFOLK WEDDING
By: Event Junkies
Tags: Weddings, Event Tents, Stretch Tents, Stretch Tent Hire, Wedding Planning

It’s easier to budget One of the biggest benefits of hiring a stretch tent is that, unlike with hotel venues and country homes, you are not tied to using any particular suppliers, for food or otherwise. This means it’s easier to manage your budget because it gives you the freedom to choose caterers and other services that fit within your budget.

Play with a blank canvas A stretch tent is effectively a blank canvas to be decorated any way you like. Once the outer shell of the stretch tent is erected, you can choose from different linings, different flooring solutions, a range of lighting options and when it comes to furniture and decor, you’re free to decorate how you like to suit your big day.

Flexibility Stretch tents are an incredibly versatile option for your wedding venue. All you need is a bit of space, whether that’s your back garden or a field. Stretch tents are modular to allow you to make truly tailor your stretch tent to your wedding day needs, both in size and interior layout. Would you like a separate reception area? A chill-out room? A separate bar area? No problem!

Suitable for all-weather Whilst we can’t do much about the weather, we can ensure your stretch tent is adaptable for all weathers. Tentickle Stretch Tents tents are waterproof and can easily be heated during the chilly winter months with diesel generators to provide a cosy space for you and your guests to enjoy.

Have as many guests as you like Within reason! Stretch tents can usually hold many more guests than a traditional hotel or country club; stretch tents can be adapted to suit parties from 20 people up to 300 depending on the format of your big day. The modular design of stretch tents allows to easily add extra sections on or remove to cater to your number of guests.

Different designs to suit the style of your wedding Many people don’t realise the choice available when it comes to hiring a stretch tent. We offer a choice of three different styles which suit very different styles of wedding.

A huge congratulations goes out to Alisha and Tom on their wedding! These two lovebirds tied the knot on November 2nd, 2019. In short, The Mainland wedding photos team did an amazing job capturing every perfect moment for them to look back on!

First and foremost, Alisha and her bridesmaids got their hair and makeup done in preparation for the big day. The girls all posed for some fun photos on the bed together. Moments later, she slipped on her stunning ballgown. Tom was already waiting for her outside, looking dapper in his grey tuxedo. Soon, Alisha approached him, and they shared a beautiful first look moment. Then, they took some beautiful portraits by The Mainland wedding photos team. The photos on the train tracks were especially breathtaking.

Next, everyone moved to a rustic, indoor setting for their ceremony. After Alisha was given away by her father, she joined hands with her groom. In front of all of their friends and family, they promised to love each other forever. They then exchanged rings, and were officially husband and wife! They proceeded back up the aisle together, and they could not have looked happier and more in love.

Lastly, it was time for the party to start. Everyone headed to the ballroom, where Alisha and Tom were introduced as Mr. and Mrs. for the first time. They shared an intimate first dance together, and were eventually joined on the dance floor by their guests. The rustic theme showed throughout the ceremony with the vineyard decor and the pink roses on their cake. All in all, it was the perfect end to a perfect day that Alisha and Tom will treasure forever.

Cheers to you, Alisha and Tom, on your forever! The Mainland wedding photos team loved sharing this day with you!

Mum and Dad are getting married
By: Laura O Smith
Tags: Poem, Family Weddings, Weddings, Parents

I wrote this poem for our wedding. My husband and I were engaged years ago, but decided to have children before a wedding. I’m glad we did — it meant that our children were part of our day, as were those of our friends. I wrote this for the ceremony, to be read by my brother in law.

Mum and dad are getting married today

It’s called a Wedding, I think.

I have to dress up in clean clothes and shoes and make sure I don’t pick my nose.

Mum says there will be cake and lots of kids to play with

But I have to sit still for a little while at the beginning

And listen to The Serious Bit.

I have to carry a ring up to the front for mummy to give to daddy

I said I could just give it to him

And save her the trouble.

Mum and dad are getting married in front of all their friends

And family too. Everyone is coming to see them say ‘I do’.

Because they are So Happy

For my mum and dad. And they get free food.

Mum and dad are getting married and they get to do a dance

I’ve seen them dancing in the kitchen

On Sunday mornings. I hope they’ve done more practicing…

Mum and dad are getting married so they can be Together Forever.

I am not sure where else they would be.

They are much better when they are two

Together

When daddy goes away mummy is always tired and shouts a lot and buys extra bottles of gin

When mummy goes away we get to watch movies and eat chips and pizza and popcorn

Because daddy is a sucker

But I think he likes it better

When mummy is here.

Mum and dad are getting married because they Love Each Other

But I knew that

So what’s the fuss?

Meanwhile, James also got ready to look his very best, wearing a jet black tuxedo. Then, everyone headed over to the ceremony location. James stood front and center, patiently awaiting Jessica’s arrival. Once she finally entered the room, he was speechless, and they joined hands when she reached him. They had a beautiful ceremony, which included an intimate candle lighting portion. Moments later, they were officially husband and wife! They proceeded down the aisle, hand-in-hand, on to their reception.

Solon Z and the Sapphires is a Boston big band located in Brighton, MA providing special event entertainment, and Boston Wedding Entertainment in Boston, Cape Cod, Newport, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket.

A Bride’s biggest fear when planning her wedding is that something could go wrong to ruin the most important day of her life. Most often, a wedding reception is just average to below average, and an overall forgettable event for most guests. Not because the bride couldn’t afford to host a quality reception, but because she chose the wrong wedding venue, or the wrong Boston wedding band, or both! Either a good meal and average, forgettable entertainment, or a great dinner, followed by terrible entertainment or, the band pulling a no show as has happened at times too. Sometimes these shortcomings are due to a bride having a tight budget, and forced to cut corners. But, entertainment is the one area you should spend the most on.

Think about when you go to see a concert. Regardless if you’re going to see Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney or a local orchestra in your city, the food is never anything to write home about. It’s the entertainment you go for, not the food, and almost always, these venues get away with it, because eight times out of 10, the entertainment is excellent and memorable. You could host your reception at the Moose Lodge, and serve appetizers, but if you hire the Best Boston Wedding Band to perform like Solon Z and the Sapphires? Your guests will ALWAYS remember your event for years! They won’t mind if it was an average to slightly above average venue, with average to slightly above average food and beverage. As long as you have a top-flight Boston Wedding Band, such as Solon Z and the Sapphires to carry the day, you and your guests will be talking about it for years! Entertainment is the last area you want to save money on for your wedding reception. It could make or break your wedding day!

When to buy your wedding ring?
Tags: Weddings

The meaning of the Halo Engagement Ring ,How do you know ?Over the years, the symbol of presenting the rings changed. Instead of getting ready to be owned by a man, receiving an engagement ring meant getting ready for a promise. A promise to love each other unconditionally and be together for the end of days. Later on, the tradition of engagement rings was incorporated into wedding proposals. Who says everything was better in the old days?

So, when do you buy your cheap wedding rings ? We recommend around three to four months prior to your wedding. This gives you plenty of time to browse ring styles, take a few shopping trips to try them on and to decide together which bands are best for you and your lifestyle. Leaving wedding ring shopping too late will only cause stress closer to the big day, so make a job midway through the wedding planning.

Consider looking to see if the brand your engagement ring was purchased from offers a matching wedding band. This can make the whole process much easier and also ensures the rings will sit comfortably together on the finger.

Your classic wedding ring don’t have to be matching in style — many couples have completely different tastes and preferences but it’s fun to shop for them together and to choose the bands that you intend to swap on the day to signify your commitment and love for one another forever more.
