Always great chatting with my friend @ArcadiaEconomic.
We talk precious metals markets and @soundmoneydef projects like the SILVER Act in Congress and passage of sound money legislation in Alaska and Maryland.
Next time we'll cover a jazz tune alongside the analysis.
(Washington, D.C.) — The Precious Metals Industry Coalition for Market Security & Access, made up of dozens of key stakeholders across all segments of the U.S. precious metals industry, formally called on Congress today to advance the SILVER Act.
The SILVER Act is bipartisan legislation designed to address national security risks by strengthening the resilience, competitiveness, and geographic diversity of America's precious metals market infrastructure.
"Everyone who believes in freedom must work diligently for sound money, fully redeemable. Nothing else is compatible with the humanitarian goals of peace and prosperity."

I was honored to be invited to speak on sound money & @SoundMoneyDef’s work at @The_JBS meeting in SLC. So great seeing old friends and making many new ones.
All the speakers were amazing. @solari_the is a force of nature.
Birchers host a great event!
My latest @MoneyMetals - taking on the pernicious militarist myth that is hard power rather than hard money that makes for a currency’s adoption and staying power
In fact, over time the relationship is quite the opposite 👀

Our director, @JpCortez27, quoted the renowned F.A. Hayek while speaking at the @LPNational convention about gold, silver, and the harmful effects of monetary policy.
42 years later and Hayek's concern is as pertinent as ever.
As gold beats out debt instruments as the world's top reserve asset, we can't help but revisit this part of the speech given by @JpCortez27 at the @LPNational convention.
"The price of gold is not going up, the purchasing power of your dollar is being siphoned away and stolen."

The Precious Metals Parity Act has officially been introduced in the US House of Representatives.
An important step toward modernizing the treatment of precious metals under US tax policy and advancing greater parity for investors.
Thank you to Reps. @RepHorsford, @repkevinhern, and @RepNateMoran for their leadership on this effort. horsford.house.gov/media/pre…#Gold#PreciousMetals#Investing

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction... in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
