what is the value of money?

anyone out there who still believes in fiat money and the ability of 'our' elites and their small dirty politicians to fix the current debt + paper money mess?

year of the dragon => year of the snake => gold standard is back :-)

you also do not think this paper money orgy could go much longer, do you? napoleon III neither does, he still sticks to his era 1854 :-)

friends, i've already written a lot about money and uploaded few nice pictures how money developed / changed as the times went on, even the relationship between money and happiness have been addressed by myself before (e.g. here), but you know what? there is one special reason i write this blog post today: the last week was a real blood bath for gold / silver bugs at the wall street, you know? so sad ;-(((

ok, let's sum up: the most valuable things on earth like health, happiness, freedom, love, home, family, joy, intact nature, etc we cant buy with money. of course, we can buy a doctor, sex, a house ... but this really important stuff ... hmmmmm ... well, i will better go to bed now and try to think about this kind of stuff later on ;-)

let's finish this blog post with few old, old, old quotes by voltaire, the french writer born november 21, 1694:

source: wikipedia

• don't think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money
• when it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion
• paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - zero
• in general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another

voltaire spoke not only about money, my dears

• history in general is a collection of crimes, follies, and misfortunes among which we have now and then met with a few virtues and some happy times 
• history is filled with the sound of silken slippers going downstairs and wooden shoes coming up  
• history supplies little beyond a list of those who have accommodated themselves with the property of others 
• it is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets => what about the north atlantic terror organisation (NATO) and its crimes in iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, ... ?

~~~

what about fair precious metal currencies? or any other fair currencies (e.g. backed by working hours or any other model based on work provided today and 'conserved' for a use later)? or what about a needs-based-economy completeley without money as the society provides food, clothes, roof above the head and so on for everyone but no one accumulates money ('wealth') in huge scale?

go gold bugs go and let's crash the powers of the fraudulent financial-military complex :-)

where is the GOLD? queen elisabeth knows for sure ;-)

one hundred trillion dollars? yep, the largest denomination currency ever issued. friends, i'm a trillionaire now, you know?

where the hell is the land of trillionaires?

zimbabwe's dictator mugabe needed approximately 10 years to destroy the switzerland of africa (rhodesia) and 'create' economic collapse + hyperinflation + poverty all over the country ... how much longer will need 'our' fiat money mafia consortium FED, ECB, SNB, BOE, BOJ and their small dirty buddies, our current politicians to do the same to our communities? any guess out there?

btw, does it make any sense to keep / save / heap up paper money? no, just ask the billionaires. they count on GOLD and they make sure there is all their GOLD, not any IOU papers, you know?

queen visits (audits?) the bank of england's gold reserves ... wanna see the video? here we go for gold (watch out, the link refers to mainstream media, thus some stupid advertisement comes first, the story second, next advertisement after that ... omg ;-()

btw, do YOU still believe in paper currency? don't be that stupid and yes, here are some reasons why you shouldn't waste any time and GO FOR GOLD :-)

what is the value of my one hundred trillion zimbabwe dollars? zero, of course. why? well, every paper currency finally returns to its intristic value, which is zero. just ask voltaire, my dears.

just in case you wonder where i've got that nice zimbabwe bill, it was a stark reminder of how bad things can actually get from my friends at my gold & copper exploration and royalties company, EurasianMinerals (EMX).

go gold bugs go and let's CRASH the fraudulent fiat money system NOW :-)

addendum january 2nd, 2013: folks, i have bought few more EMX shares as i have decided to sell part of my orko silver shares (recently taken over by first majestic silver) and put the money in companies where the story + fantasy isn't over yet ...

dubai / UAE

dubai in the cloud:

author (bjoern lauen) + source of this soooo great picture? here

good morning, dubai :-)

what to do in dubai when the connecting flight is 11 hours apart? well, lets go out in the city, by train / monorail is the city only 15 minutes away from the airport  .... OMG, i have seen the rising sun, the empty creek with all these waiting boats, empty bazaar, the modern city, some shopping malls, the highest building on earth (have been up there but didn't buy the offered investment items from the 'gold to go' machine because i hope have already enough ~ well, interesting they sell gold on top on the man made universe and no paper currencies, isn't it?), went to the beach, swam in the persian gulf, ate some arab fast food (chicken kebab wrap), came back to the airport and still had to wait 2 or 3 hours for my emirates flight to munich ...

the old city at the right side of the creek

the new city ~ burj khalifa, 828 meters, the highest building on earth

the beach ~ my favourite place in dubai ;o)

more pictures
well, the two most lasting impressions are first the cleanliness of the city (there were almost everywhere trash cans and people making some special areas clean (airport / shopping malls / toilets / etc.) and second its openness & diversity (the arabs are a small minority if you asked me (there are so many indian / chinese / thai / european people out there, most of them foreign workers i suppose ...)
