Passai quindi dall&#8217;italiano all&#8217;inglese. Fu allora che la commissione di banchieri incaricata di valutare le mie competenze mi interruppe bruscamente dicendo: &#171;La prego, si fermi! Noi non parliamo inglese, quindi non capiamo una parola di quello che sta dicendo&#187;!</p><p>Nel 2008, prima del crollo dell&#8217;intero sistema bancario, lavoravo ancora per una banca in Italia. Mi sono dimesso nel 2021.</p><p>In quegli anni la mia banca era in fase di espansione, acquisendo filiali in tutta Italia, e io viaggiavo molto per il Paese per seguire questo processo.</p><p>Leggevo religiosamente *Zero Hedge* ogni giorno, compresi i commenti, che spesso sono migliori degli articoli stessi. La Bear Stearns era gi&#224; fallita e tutti gli occhi erano puntati sulla Lehman Brothers. Su *Zero Hedge* si sapeva gi&#224; che mancavano pochi giorni all&#8217;accadere dell&#8217;impensabile!</p><p>Cos&#236;, in tutta sincerit&#224; e con buone intenzioni, cercavo di mettere in guardia chiunque incontrassi in banca riguardo all&#8217;imminente crollo che stava per verificarsi &#8211; una situazione di cui nessuno dei miei ex colleghi aveva la minima idea, a causa della loro negligenza e della loro totale ignoranza. Il fatto &#232; che, se non si capisce l&#8217;inglese, come si pu&#242; seguire direttamente le notizie provenienti da Wall Street? E poi, cosa te ne frega se alla fine sono i solo clienti a perdere soldi? </p><p>Ricordo un giorno, nell&#8217;estate del 2008, in cui chiesi a un direttore di filiale se si sentisse tranquillo ad avere i propri risparmi investiti in borsa, visto l&#8217;imminente pericolo.</p><p>Era un viscido individuo di basso profilo, un divorziato &#8211; mollato perch&#233; beccato a tradire &#8211; e una vera canaglia, chiaramente affetto da sindrome metabolica a causa di abitudini alimentari orribili. Entrare nel suo ufficio era pericoloso a causa delle scoregge. Mi ascoltava con aria di sufficienza, sostenendo di non vedere alcun motivo per disinvestire, dato che le sue azioni erano in guadagno. Pi&#249; tardi, quello stesso direttore fu declassato e trasferito alle risorse umane. Nella filiale che gestiva, un piccolo &#8220;Madoff&#8221; locale aveva accumulato perdite per circa 20 milioni di euro sfruttando la fiducia di clienti ingenui, proprio sotto il naso di quel direttore che avrebbe dovuto supervisionare la filiale stessa.</p><p>La Lehman Brothers croll&#242; il 15 settembre 2008. Io c&#8217;ero. Quei pochissimi che mi avevano dato retta mi ringraziano ancora oggi. Gli altri, probabilmente, non hanno ancora capito nulla. Ma quel viscido bastardo delle risorse umane scaten&#242; una battaglia personale contro di me. L&#8217;invidia &#232; un sentimento meschino e, nel mondo bancario, &#232; una forza motrice!</p><p>Incapace di comprendere il male, mi sorprendo quando lo vedo e ne soffro quando lo subisco; tuttavia, &#232; una lezione che ho imparato a mie spese e un motivo in pi&#249; per sentirmi soddisfatto della decisione di abbandonare la carriera bancaria.</p><p>Dunque, cosa impariamo dal crollo del 2008 e da tutti quelli che lo hanno preceduto? Si ripete sempre lo stesso schema, perch&#233; l&#8217;avidit&#224; &#232; pi&#249; forte della saggezza e perch&#233; la gente dimentica. Questa volta, per&#242;, non dimentichiamo. Ecco lo schema che si ripropone continuamente:</p><ol><li><p>EUFORIA</p></li><li><p>ISTERIA</p></li><li><p>DISPERAZIONE</p></li></ol><p>Stiamo entrando nella fase di isteria. La fase tecnicamente nota come *blow-off top*: il momento di massimo splendore dell&#8217;ultimo fuoco d&#8217;artificio, un istante prima che calino il silenzio e l&#8217;oscurit&#224;.</p><p>Ancora oggi, non abbiamo toccato il fondo del collasso monetario che avrebbe dovuto verificarsi nel 2008, poich&#233; il disastro &#232; stato mascherato immettendo nel sistema trilioni di nuova valuta. Quanti trilioni? Nessuno lo sa con certezza. Potrebbe trattarsi di trilioni, quadrilioni o persino quintilioni, dato che la finanza tossica e i derivati &#8203;&#8203;OTC possono essere &#8211; e di fatto sono &#8211; occultati nelle pieghe del sistema bancario ombra.</p><p>Lo studio della storia dei cicli monetari ci insegna una lezione molto semplice:</p><blockquote><p><strong>AL TERMINE DI OGNI EUFORIA LEGATA ALLA MONETA CARTACEA, COLORO CHE SONO USCITI DAL MERCATO IN TEMPO, CONVERTENDO I PROPRI ASSET IN ORO, SE LA SONO CAVATA DECISAMENTE MEGLIO DI CHI HA RIPOSTO PIENA FIDUCIA NELLA VALUTA FINO AL DISASTRO FINALE</strong>.</p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Trasportare sacchi d&#8217;oro lungo le strade europee era un&#8217;impresa pericolosa e difficile; per questo motivo, i banchieri iniziarono a emettere ordini di pagamento e lettere di credito. Come funzionava il sistema? Invece di contare fisicamente i fiorini d&#8217;oro allo sportello, i banchieri registravano i trasferimenti di denaro tra i clienti tramite documenti. La solidit&#224; di questo sistema di pagamento &#8220;cartaceo&#8221; si fondava interamente sulla fiducia e sulla robustezza della rete di filiali che i banchieri fiorentini gestivano in tutta Europa. Tuttavia, come sempre accade, le promesse cartacee finirono per superare di gran lunga la quantit&#224; di oro effettivamente disponibile.</p><p>Cause principali del disastro: il debito inglese! Edoardo III d&#8217;Inghilterra non restitu&#236; gli ingenti prestiti ottenuti per finanziare le campagne militari (<strong>sono sempre le guerre</strong>!) durante la Guerra dei Cent&#8217;anni contro la Francia (circa 900.000 fiorini d&#8217;oro persi dai Bardi e 600.000 dai Peruzzi). Cause principali &#8211; Il debito inglese: (<strong>&#232; sempre il debito</strong>) Edoardo III d&#8217;Inghilterra non restitu&#236; gli ingenti prestiti. Il crollo delle due &#8220;super-compagnie&#8221; &#8211; che all&#8217;epoca rappresentavano le pi&#249; grandi istituzioni finanziarie d&#8217;Europa &#8211; trascin&#242; con s&#233; decine di banche minori (come gli Acciaiuoli e gli Antellesi).</p><p><strong>La carta era ovunque. Solo l&#8217;oro spar&#236;! E la carta perse ogni valore!</strong></p><p>Oltre 350 famiglie e imprenditori fiorentini dichiararono bancarotta, provocando un drastico crollo del mercato immobiliare e della stabilit&#224; politica cittadina (situazione che genera sempre disordini sociali). Il Tumulto dei Ciompi fu una celebre rivolta popolare scoppiata a Firenze tra il luglio e l&#8217;agosto del 1378. I protagonisti furono i &#8220;Ciompi&#8221;, ovvero gli umili salariati dell&#8217;Arte della Lana; sfruttati, privi di diritti politici e senza rappresentanza all&#8217;interno delle corporazioni, essi insorsero per rivendicare salari migliori, giustizia fiscale e il diritto di costituire proprie corporazioni. Per un breve periodo, riuscirono a fondare nuove corporazioni per i lavoratori pi&#249; poveri e a portare al potere il loro leader, Michele di Lando, come Gonfaloniere di Giustizia. Quasi immediatamente dopo l&#8217;insediamento, tuttavia, Michele di Lando si alle&#242; con le potenti famiglie fiorentine contro i poveri che avevano riposto in lui le loro speranze. Nel giro di poche settimane, il malcontento nei confronti della sua leadership crebbe, soprattutto quando venne respinta una richiesta di cancellazione dei debiti dovuti ai datori di lavoro.</p><p>Filippo Villani offre una vivida descrizione del crollo della rivolta:</p><p>&#171;I Ciompi se ne andarono come un popolo distrutto, senza guida e disorientati, perch&#233; avevano confidato in se stessi e da se stessi erano stati traditi&#187;. (<strong>I leader politici mentono sempre e si alleano con i poteri costituiti</strong>!).</p><p>Lezione numero 2:</p><p>Francia, 1720</p><p>Un riepilogo in questa immagine, che ho disegnato

Utrecht nel 1713-1714. L&#8217;alleanza anglo-francese: siglata nel 1716, vide Gran Bretagna e Francia unire le forze per tutelare le clausole del trattato e arginare l&#8217;espansionismo spagnolo o russo. Tale collaborazione port&#242; direttamente alla Guerra della Quadruplice Alleanza (1718-1720), conflitto in cui la Francia combatt&#233; al fianco della Gran Bretagna e dell'Austria per contrastare i tentativi della Spagna di riconquistare i territori italiani. Ancora una volta, le guerre richiedevano finanziamenti e la carta rappresentava lo strumento d&#8217;elezione.</p><p>Ecco un brano del professor Galbraith: &#171;<em><strong>Nel corso dei secoli, gli uomini hanno creduto di aver scoperto il segreto della sua moltiplicazione infinita</strong>. E con la stessa sicurezza con cui se ne sono convinti, sono riusciti a convincere anche gli altri. Invariabilmente, ci&#242; comporta la riscoperta &#8211; magari sotto una veste leggermente nuova &#8211; di qualche vecchia truffa. <strong>L&#8217;intervallo tra le vette vertiginose del genio finanziario e il nadir del successivo crollo</strong>... Da John Law, salvatore della Reggenza francese, al John Law penitente a Venezia; da Nicholas Biddle &#8211; il primo re della finanza americana, figura capace di incutere timore persino ai presidenti &#8211; a Nicholas Biddle, divenuto il pi&#249; celebre fallito di Philadelphia; dal Bernard Cornfeld dei jet e delle concubine al Bernard Cornfeld della prigione di Saint-Antoine: il lasso di tempo &#232; spesso di pochi mesi, o al massimo di qualche anno. Queste ascese fulminee e queste rovinose cadute destano meraviglia e una certa maligna soddisfazione, soprattutto perch&#233; accadono ad altri. Eppure, in questi casi, naturalmente, &#232; la storia a contare, non il suo significato</em>. (J.K.

Le successive emissioni di prestiti di guerra trasformarono la gran parte della ricchezza privata tedesca in titoli di credito cartacei nei confronti dello Stato... titoli che persero valore al termine del conflitto.</em></p><p><em>(</em><strong>I TITOLI DI CREDITO CARTACEI AZZERANO SEMPRE IL LORO VALORE</strong><em>)!</em></p><p><em>Giorno dopo giorno, nel corso del 1920, 1921 e 1922, il momento della resa dei conti veniva rimandato &#8211; tanto pi&#249; facilmente in quanto le conseguenze previste dell&#8217;inflazione si facevano sempre pi&#249; terrificanti.&#187;</em></p><p><em><strong>Pi&#249; lungo &#232; il ritardo, pi&#249; brutale &#232; la cura</strong>.</em></p><p><em><strong>La stabilit&#224; giunse solo quando si tocc&#242; il fondo, quando non si poteva scendere pi&#249; in basso</strong>, quando tutto ci&#242; che quattro anni di codardia finanziaria, ostinazione e cattiva gestione avevano cercato di scongiurare si era effettivamente verificato: <strong>quando l&#8217;inconcepibile era inevitabilmente accaduto</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Il denaro non &#232; altro che un mezzo di scambio; pu&#242; funzionare come tale solo quando il suo valore &#232; riconosciuto dagli altri. Pi&#249; tale riconoscimento &#232; diffuso, pi&#249; il denaro diventa utile. Una volta svanito quel riconoscimento, i tedeschi scoprirono che la loro valuta cartacea non aveva alcun valore o utilit&#224;, se non come carta da parati o materiale per costruire aeroplanini di carta. La scoperta che sconvolse la loro societ&#224; fu che <strong>il tradizionale potere d&#8217;acquisto era evaporato </strong>e che non esisteva pi&#249; alcun parametro per misurare il valore di alcunch&#233;. Per molti, la vita divenne una ricerca ossessiva di *Sachwerte* &#8212; beni di &#8220;valore reale e costante&#8221;: Stinnes acquistava fabbriche, miniere e giornali; l&#8217;umile ferroviere comprava oggetti disparati. In gran parte, il grado di necessit&#224; divenne l&#8217;unico criterio di valore: il fondamento di ogni cosa, dal baratto ai comportamenti.</em></p><p><em><strong>I valori umani lasciarono il posto agli istinti animali.</strong></em></p><p><em>Contrariamente a qualsiasi presupposto filosofico, non fu un&#8217;esperienza salutare.</em></p><p><em>Se la sorte toccata alle sconfitte Potenze Centrali all&#8217;inizio del 1923 pu&#242; servire da indicazione, allora il collasso del mezzo di scambio riconosciuto, tradizionale e affidabile &#8212; la valuta rispetto alla quale si misurano tutti i valori, che garantisce lo status sociale, da cui dipende la sicurezza e in cui si accumulano i frutti del lavoro &#8212; scatena avidit&#224;, violenza, miseria e odio (in gran parte generati dalla paura) tali che nessuna societ&#224; pu&#242; uscirne indenne e immutata.</em></p><p><em>Sul *Toronto Star Weekly* del dicembre 1923, Ernest Hemingway descrisse un&#8217;asta di strada di banconote svalutate dall&#8217;inflazione &#8212; marchi tedeschi, corone austriache, rubli russi &#8212; che i cittadini di Toronto erano stati incoraggiati ad acquistare nella speranza (una speranza di cui tedeschi, austriaci e russi erano stati da tempo brutalmente privati) che, una volta tornata la normalit&#224;, quelle banconote avrebbero recuperato il loro antico valore. Nessuno spiegava agli acquirenti che la valuta russa, apparentemente a buon mercato, era stata stampata in tagli da milioni di rubli il pi&#249; rapidamente possibile, allo scopo di annullare il valore della vecchia valuta imperiale e, di conseguenza, quello della classe abbiente. Ora i sovietici hanno emesso rubli garantiti dall&#8217;oro.

Perch&#233;? Perch&#233; la tecnologia &#232; affascinante e universalmente accettata.</p><p>Le persone sono state nuovamente convinte &#8211; come il professor Galbraith ci aveva giustamente avvertito &#8211; che la magia di creare ricchezza dal nulla sia possibile grazie all&#8217;innovazione finanziaria. &#171;<em>Nel corso dei secoli, gli uomini hanno creduto di aver scoperto il segreto per la sua moltiplicazione infinita</em>&#187;.</p><p>Oggi l&#8217;attenzione &#232; rivolta esclusivamente alla tecnologia. Di conseguenza, si ripresentano le stesse dinamiche del crollo del 1929: le aziende emettono obbligazioni per acquistare azioni, scommettendo su un aumento del valore di mercato di queste ultime per poter pagare gli interessi sui debiti.</p><p>L&#8217;attuale sistema economico si fonda sulla crescita perpetua del debito, che genera interessi nel corso del tempo; tali interessi vanno a sommarsi al debito iniziale (attualmente, gli Stati Uniti pagano 24 miliardi di dollari a settimana solo di interessi sul proprio debito).</p><p>Ogni debito &#232; strutturato sulla base di garanzie collaterali sottostanti. Affinch&#233; questo modello economico sia sostenibile, il valore di tali garanzie deve aumentare. La bolla immobiliare del 2008 ha dimostrato che il prezzo delle garanzie (gli immobili) non pu&#242; crescere indefinitamente.</p><p>Non &#232; stato nemmeno necessario un calo dei prezzi; &#232; bastato che il tasso di crescita del valore delle abitazioni scendesse sotto la doppia cifra perch&#233; la bolla scoppiasse.</p><p>Il settore immobiliare &#232; ormai troppo costoso rispetto ai salari medi. Si &#232; raggiunto il limite della crescita perpetua: &#232; impossibile continuare a gonfiare i prezzi delle case allo stesso ritmo dell&#8217;aumento esponenziale del debito.</p><p>Ci stiamo addentrando in una nuova bolla.</p><p>Quella attuale &#232; alimentata dalle previsioni sulla redditivit&#224; delle aziende che operano nell&#8217;ambito dell&#8217;intelligenza artificiale.</p><p>La differenza sostanziale &#232; che le case sono, quantomeno, beni fisicamente reali e necessari.</p><p>L&#8217;IA &#232; certamente necessaria, ma la Cina la offre praticamente gratis.</p><p><strong>La domanda &#232;: quanto &#232; sostenibile una bolla del debito che scommette sulla redditivit&#224; di aziende produttrici di qualcosa che nessuno acquister&#224;, proprio perch&#233; quel bene sta diventando, al contempo, gratuito</strong>?</p><p>E poi, un&#8217;altra riflessione. Dato che mantenere in piedi questo modello richiede &#8211; come abbiamo visto &#8211; di gonfiare il prezzo di un bene a garanzia (collaterale), quale sar&#224; il prossimo asset a vedere il proprio valore salire alle stelle? <strong>A giudicare dai massicci acquisti di oro da parte di banche centrali e investitori istituzionali, quel bene destinato a rivalutarsi potrebbe benissimo essere l&#8217;oro</strong>; ecco perch&#233; detenerlo, in questa fase storica, potrebbe rappresentare il modo migliore per partecipare al futuro scenario economico.</p><p>Eppure, vi dicono di non comprare oro. Di conseguenza, la gente non lo compra. La gente vuole le criptovalute, perch&#233; promettono di trasformarli in miliardari...</p><p><strong>E credo davvero che questa promessa si avverer&#224;! Sul serio! Tutti i detentori di criptovalute diventeranno miliardari! </strong></p><p>Proprio come in Germania nel 1923, quando il marco tedesco rese tutti trilionari praticamente dall&#8217;oggi al domani.

So I switched from Italian to English. That&#8217;s when the panel of bankers who were designated to evaluate my competence abruptly interrupted me by saying: &#171;Please stop! We don&#8217;t speak English, so we don&#8217;t understand a word you are saying&#187;! </p><p>In 2008, before the collapse of the entire banking system, I was still working for a bank in Italy. I resigned in 2021.  </p><p>In those years, my bank was expanding by acquiring branches throughout Italy, and I was travelling a lot all over the country to assist with this process. </p><p>I was reading Zero Hedge religiously every day, including the comments, which are often better than the articles. Bear Stearns had already gone belly up, and all eyes were focused on Lehman Brothers. Guys on Zero Hedge already knew it was a matter of days before the unthinkable happened! </p><p>So, with a sincere, good heart, I was trying to warn whomever I met at the bank about the imminent collapse that was about to take place, and that none of my former coworkers had a clue about because of their carelessness and outright ignorance. The thing is, if you don&#8217;t understand English, how is one supposed to follow the news directly from Wall Street? </p><p>I remember one day, during the summer of 2008, when I was asking one branch director if he felt safe having his savings in the stock market, considering the imminent danger.</p><p>He was a very oily-skinned, cheap weasel, divorced because caught cheating scumbag, surely affected by metabolic syndrome due to horrific eating habits. He listened to me with an air of condescension and told me that he didn&#8217;t see a reason to divest because his stocks were gaining. Later, the same director was demoted and relocated to human resources. In the branch that he managed, a small local &#8220;Madoff&#8221; had accumulated losses of about 20 million euros from trusting gullible customers right in the same branch that he was supposed to supervise as a director. </p><p>Lehman Brothers collapsed on September 15, 2008. I was there. The very few who&#8217;d listened to me thank me to this day. The others probably still don&#8217;t have a clue. But the oily bastard from human resources started his personal battle against me. Envy is a nasty feeling, and in banking it is a driving force! </p><p>Incapable of understanding evil, I find myself surprised when I see it and hurt when I receive it, but that is one lesson I learned the hard way and one more reason to feel better about my decision of quitting my banking career. </p><p>So, what do we learn from the 2008 collapse and all the other before it? The same pattern over and over, because <strong>greed is stronger than wisdom</strong> and because people forget. So, let&#8217;s not forget this time. This is the pattern, over and over again:</p><ol><li><p>EUPHORIA</p></li><li><p>HYSTERIA</p></li><li><p>DESPAIR</p></li></ol><p>We are now entering the Hysteria phase. The phase technically known as the blow-off top. The brightest moment of the explosion of the last firework, before silence and darkness hit.</p><p>Still to this day, we haven&#8217;t fully seen the bottom of the monetary collapse that should have taken place in 2008, because the disaster has been papered over with trillions of additional currency. How many trillions? Nobody knows for sure. Could be trillions, quadrillions, or even quintillions, since toxic finance and OTC derivatives can be, and are, hidden in the folds of the shadow banking system.  </p><p>The study of the history of monetary cycles teaches us one very simple lesson:</p><blockquote><p><strong>AT THE END OF EVERY PAPER EUPHORIA, THOSE WHO CHECKED OUT IN TIME AND CONVERTED IT INTO GOLD FARED MUCH BETTER THAN THOSE WHO KEPT THE FULL TRUST IN THE CURRENCY UNTIL THE FINAL DISASTER.</strong></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!CwUE!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg" width="365" height="366" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bd81bfdb-c226-4c00-a134-6a4a6632752c_365x366.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:366,&quot;width&quot;:365,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Potrebbe essere un contenuto grafico raffigurante denaro e il seguente testo \&quot;At the end Attheendofthe of the monetary disaster caused by excessive printing of currency and paper debt, two categories are always distinguished: &#12412;

Transporting bags of gold along Europe&#8217;s roads was dangerous and difficult; therefore, bankers started issuing payment orders and letters of credit. How did the system work? Instead of physically counting out gold florins at the counter, bankers recorded money transfers between clients through documentation. The strength of this &#8220;paper-based&#8221; payment system <strong>relied entirely on trust</strong> and the solidity of the network of branches that Florentine bankers maintained across Europe. But as it always happens, paper promises became immensely bigger than the available gold.</p><p>Main Causes of the disaster: The English debt! Edward III of England failed to repay the massive loans obtained to finance <strong>military campaigns (it&#8217;s always the wars!)</strong> during the Hundred Years&#8217; War against France (approximately 900,000 gold florins lost by the Bardi and 600,000 by the Peruzzi). Main Causes &#8211; The English <strong>debt</strong>: (<strong>it&#8217;s always the debt</strong>) Edward III of England failed to repay the massive loans. The collapse of the two &#8220;super-companies&#8221;&#8212;which at the time represented Europe&#8217;s largest financial institutions&#8212;dragged down dozens of smaller banks (such as the Acciaiuoli and the Antellesi). </p><p><strong>Paper was everywhere. Only gold disappeared! And paper became worthless! </strong></p><p>Over 350 Florentine families and entrepreneurs declared bankruptcy, and a drastic collapse of the real estate market and the city&#8217;s political stability ensued (<strong>It always causes civil unrest)</strong>. The Ciompi Revolt was a famous popular uprising that broke out in Florence between July and August 1378. Its protagonists were the &#8220;Ciompi&#8221;&#8212;the lowly wage laborers of the Wool Guild (*Arte della Lana*). Exploited, devoid of political rights, and lacking representation within the guilds, they rose up to demand better wages, tax justice, and the right to form their own guilds.</p><p>For a brief period, they succeeded in establishing new guilds for the poorest workers and brought their leader, Michele di Lando, to power as *Gonfaloniere di Giustizia* (Standard-Bearer of Justice). Almost immediately upon taking office, however, Michele di Lando allied himself with Florence&#8217;s powerful families against the poor who had placed their hopes in him. Within a few weeks, discontent with his leadership mounted, particularly when a request for the cancellation of debts owed to employers was denied.</p><p>Filippo Villani provides a vivid account of the revolt&#8217;s collapse:</p><p>&#8220;The Ciompi departed like a broken people, leaderless and bewildered, for they had trusted in&#8212;and were betrayed by&#8212;themselves.&#8221; <strong>(Political leaders always lie and associate with the powers that be</strong>)! </p><p>Lesson number 2:</p><p>France 1720</p><p>A recap in this image that I have personally hand-drawn for

1713&#8211;1714. <strong><span>The Anglo-French Alliance:</span></strong><span> Signed in 1716, Britain and France joined forces to protect the treaty terms and block Spanish or Russian expansion. This partnership led directly to the </span><strong><span>War of the Quadruple Alliance</span></strong><span> (1718&#8211;1720), where France fought alongside Britain and Austria against Spain&#8217;s attempts to reclaim Italian territories.</span> <strong>Once again, wars need to be financed, and paper is the item of choice</strong>. </p><p>Here is an excerpt from Professor Galbraith: &#171;<em><strong>Over the centuries, men have believed they had discovered the secret to its infinite multiplication</strong>. And with the same confidence with which they convinced themselves of this, they managed to convince others as well. Invariably, this entails the rediscovery&#8212;perhaps in a slightly new guise&#8212;of some age-old swindle. <strong>The interval between the dizzying heights of financial genius and the nadir of the subsequent collapse</strong>... From John Law, savior of the French Regency, to the penitent John Law in Venice; from Nicholas Biddle&#8212;the first king of American finance, a figure capable of striking fear even into presidents&#8212;to Nicholas Biddle, who became Philadelphia&#8217;s most famous bankrupt; from the Bernard Cornfeld of jets and concubines to the Bernard Cornfeld of St. Antoine prison&#8212;the span is often merely a few months, or at most a few years. These meteoric rises and terrible falls are a source of wonder and a certain malicious satisfaction, especially because they happen to other people. Yet in these cases, of course, it is the story that matters, not its significance</em>. (J.K. Galbraith)&#187;</p><p>Lesson n. 3 - The Continental - War + Printing Press = ZERO</p><p>The Continental currency collapsed <strong>by 1780 because the US <span>Continental Congress</span> printed massive amounts of unbacked paper money to fund the Revolutionary War. Congress escalated printing from $2 million in 1775 to over $200 million by 1779, causing runaway inflation. As the volume of paper skyrocketed and goods dwindled, public trust vanished. </strong>By 1780, the currency lost virtually all purchasing power, giving rise to the famous phrase <em>"not worth a Continental"</em>. Americans resorted to barter or hard coin (specie) whenever available.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png" width="343" height="174.93528505392914" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:331,&quot;width&quot;:649,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:343,&quot;bytes&quot;:559680,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://andreacecchi.substack.com/i/213973427?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xFVC!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F40447da0-4690-4bf6-941c-946c7810ae48_649x331.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The expression &#8220;not worth a Continental&#8221; means that something is absolutely worthless.

Successive issues of <strong>war loans transformed the bulk of private German wealth into paper claims against the State... the war loans lost their value after the war ended.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(PAPER CLAIMS ALWAYS GO TO ZERO)!</mark></strong></em></p><p><em>Day by day, throughout 1920, 1921, and 1922, the day of reckoning was postponed&#8212;all the more easily because the predicted consequences of inflation were becoming increasingly terrifying.</em></p><p><em><strong>The longer the delay, the more savage the cure</strong>.</em></p><p><em><strong>Stability arrived only when rock bottom was reached, when the floor could drop no lower</strong>, when everything that four years of financial cowardice, obstinacy, and mismanagement had been designed to avert had actually come to pass&#8212;<strong>when the inconceivable had inevitably arrived</strong>.</em></p><p><em><strong>Money is nothing more than a medium of exchange; it can function as such only when its value is recognized by others. </strong>The more widespread that recognition, the more useful the money becomes. Once that recognition vanished, Germans learned that their paper currency held no value or utility other than as wallpaper or material for folding paper airplanes. The discovery that shattered their society was that traditional purchasing power had evaporated and that there was no longer any yardstick to measure the value of anything. For many, life became an obsessive quest for *Sachwerte*&#8212;things of &#8220;real and constant value&#8221;: Stinnes bought up factories, mines, and newspapers; the humblest railway worker bought up odds and ends. For the most part, the degree of necessity became the sole criterion of value&#8212;the foundation for everything, from barter to behavior.</em></p><p><em><strong>Human values &#8203;&#8203;gave way to animal instincts</strong>.</em></p><p><em>Contrary to any philosophical assumption, it was not a salutary experience.</em></p><p><em>If the fate that befell the defeated Central Powers in early 1923 is any indication, then the collapse of the recognized, traditional, and reliable medium of exchange&#8212;the currency against which all values &#8203;&#8203;are measured, which secures social status, upon which security depends, and in which the fruits of labor are accumulated&#8212;unleashes such<strong> greed, violence, misery, and hatred (largely born of fear) that no society can survive unscathed and unchanged</strong>.</em></p><p><em>In the *Toronto Star Weekly* of December 1923, Ernest Hemingway described a street auction of inflationary banknotes&#8212;German marks, Austrian crowns, Russian rubles&#8212;that Toronto citizens had been encouraged to buy in the hope (a hope of which Germans, Austrians, and Russians had long since been brutally robbed) that once sanity returned, the banknotes would regain their old value. No one explained to the listeners that the seemingly cheap Russian currency had been printed in denominations of millions of rubles as fast as possible, in order to wipe out the value of the old imperial currency and, consequently, the moneyed class. Now the Soviets have issued gold-backed rubles. None of these gold-backed ones are in the hands of the pitchmen&#187;.</em></p><p>Imagine you are in Germany in 1920. You notice things are getting worse, yet you still pin your hopes on the currency and the markets that represent your savings.</p><p>You consider buying gold. You look at the price of gold in currency and think: &#8220;It&#8217;s too expensive right now. Better not.&#8221; <strong>So, you don&#8217;t buy it</strong>.</p><p>Then 1923 arrives, and the German currency collapses.</p><p>Now, you are in the same situation; you look at the price&#8212;in dollars&#8212;of an ounce of gold, thinking that 4,500 is too much.</p><p>Then comes the moment when that ounce is worth 100 billion units of currency.</p><p><strong>The trouble is, no one wants your currency anymore because its value has dropped to zero... and the only money you could have relied on would have been that ounce of gold&#8212;t<mark data-color="#ffff00" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">he one you didn&#8217;t buy because you thought it cost too much</mark>.</strong></p><p><strong>Ask yourself now that you know this, will you be able to live with the regret?</strong></p><p>Lesson 5 - Today&#8217;s hyperbubble</p><p>As we have seen, the patterns are always identical: </p><ol><li><p>times of wars, </p></li><li><p>financial euphoria, </p></li><li><p>widespread denial</p></li></ol><p>Such as my oily, disgusting coworker who denied the inevitable when confronted with facts; everyone to this day is still invested in the system that is about to follow the same historical patterns.</p><p>Technology helped a lot in this massive deception. Why? Because technology is cool and universally accepted. </p><p>People have been convinced once again, as Professor Galbraith rightfully warned us about, that the magic of wealth from nothing is possible because of financial innovation. &#171;<em>Over the centuries, men have believed they had discovered the secret to its infinite multiplication&#187;. </em></p><p>Now, people only care about what is technological. And so, there comes the same identical dynamics as the 1929 crash: companies issue bonds to buy equity, betting on the increase of the stock market value to be able to pay the interest on the debts. </p><p>The current economic system is based on the perpetual growth of debt that accrues interest over time. This interest is added to the initial debt. (Currently, the US pays $24 billion a week in interest alone on its debt).</p><p>All debt is structured around underlying collateral pledged as security. For this economic model to be sustainable, the value of the underlying collateral must appreciate. The 2008 real estate bubble demonstrated that the price of the collateral (real estate) cannot be driven up indefinitely.</p><p>A price drop was not even required; it took only for the rate of home price appreciation to fall below double digits for the bubble to burst.</p><p>Real estate is now too expensive relative to average wages. The limit of perpetual growth has been reached; it is impossible to keep inflating home prices at the same pace as the exponential rise in debt.</p><p>We are entering a new bubble.</p><p>The current bubble is being inflated by forecasts regarding the profitability of AI companies.</p><p>The huge difference is that houses are, at the very least, physically real and necessary.</p><p>AI is indeed necessary, but China is offering it practically for free.</p><p><strong>The question is: how sustainable is a debt bubble betting on the profitability of companies producing something that no one will buy&#8212;because that very thing is simultaneously becoming free?</strong></p><p>Then, another thought. Given that sustaining this model requires&#8212;as we have seen&#8212;inflating the price of a collateral asset, which asset will be the next to see its value skyrocket? <strong>Judging by the massive gold purchases made by central banks and institutional investors, that asset slated for revaluation could well be gold</strong>; <strong>this is why holding it at this historic juncture might be the best way to participate in the future economic landscape.</strong></p><p>But you are being told not to buy gold. And therefore, people are not buying gold. People want CRYPTO because it promises to turn them into billionaires&#8230;.</p><p><strong>And I truly believe that this promise will come true! Seriously! </strong></p><p>Just like in Germany, in 1923, when the German mark made everyone a trillionaire practically overnight. Just nobody wanted that stuff anymore.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!v817!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg" width="421" height="353" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4bc1e189-015a-4344-9f8b-81e78627ffe6_421x353.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:353,&quot;width&quot;:421,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Potrebbe essere un'immagine raffigurante denaro e il seguente testo \&quot;2026 Bitcoin could create billionaires. &#3617;&#3656;&#3609;

Il sistema economico basato sul dollaro statunitense sta giungendo al termine e l'economia globale verr&#224; ricalibrata utilizzando nuovamente l'oro. In questo libro illustro la possibilit&#224; che l'oro venga rivalutato e impiegato su scala mondiale per correggere gli squilibri che hanno spinto il mondo intero sull'orlo del collasso. Eventi di tale portata si verificano una sola volta nella vita; &#232; proprio cos&#236; che le dinastie accrescono la propria ricchezza e il proprio potere nel corso dei secoli. Si tratta di una riorganizzazione monetaria globale destinata a distinguere i vincitori dai vinti: i vincitori saranno coloro che possiedono oro, mentre i vinti saranno tutti gli altri. Stiamo vivendo proprio uno di questi momenti e spetta a noi decidere se vogliamo essere vincitori o vinti. &#200; davvero l'opportunit&#224; di una vita&#187;!</p><p></p><p>Il ricavato va in

Il problema &#232; che la gente si annoia e non impara mai la lezione. Le persone dimenticano, e tutto finisce sempre in tragedia.</p><p>Gi&#224; solo leggendo il titolo di questa newsletter, sono certo che in pochi continueranno a leggere. Perch&#233;? Beh, ammettiamolo: per la maggior parte delle persone la storia &#232; noiosa. Cosa non &#232; noioso? L&#8217;entusiasmo facile, il clamore, la frenesia del momento (*hype*). La gente vuole questo. La gente vuole arricchirsi in fretta.</p><p>Pensiamo alla storia di Pinocchio: spiega perfettamente il concetto.</p><p>Da chi riceve le monete d&#8217;oro Pinocchio? Proprio dal &#8220;burattinaio&#8221; Mangiafuoco. Si lascia per&#242; subito convincere dal vecchio trucco secondo cui &#232; possibile moltiplicare la ricchezza dall&#8217;oggi al domani. Basta fidarsi delle persone giuste, no? Il burattinaio ha l&#8217;oro&#8230;il burattino no. </p><p>Significativa a proposito questa vignetta storica che ho trovato sul libro LE SECRETS DE L&#8217;OR scritto dalla Banca di Francia, dove si vedono le persone come burattini che, appunto, danno via volentieri il proprio oro per ricevere in cambio biglietti di promesse di banca.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Conservare l&#8217;oro &#232; troppo noioso. La maggior parte delle persone ignora il fatto che l&#8217;oro sia sopravvissuto a qualsiasi altra forma di moneta. Non stimola l&#8217;avidit&#224;. Richiede prudenza e saggezza, due doti decisamente noiose.</p><p>Il fatto che l&#8217;oro funga da moneta da oltre 6.000 anni offre una risposta semplice; tuttavia, i media sono costantemente orientati a distogliere l&#8217;attenzione della gente dall&#8217;oro, arrivando al punto di definirlo &#8211; come fa questo articolo del Financial Times &#8211; una bolla in corso da 6.000

Esistono sempre e solo due categorie:</p><ol><li><p><strong>CHI POSSIEDE ORO</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>CHI NON LO POSSIEDE</strong></p></li></ol><p>Io sono italiano, di Firenze. </p><p>Cito da questo link: https://florenceunveiled.com/bankers-of-florence/</p><p>&#8220;<em>All&#8217;inizio del XIV secolo, Firenze era la capitale bancaria d&#8217;Europa. I banchieri fiorentini finanziavano re, papi e mercanti, gestendo reti internazionali che si estendevano da Londra a Napoli, da Parigi al Mediterraneo orientale. Le famiglie Bardi e Peruzzi occupavano il vertice di questo sistema. Le loro banche gestivano i debiti reali, curavano i trasferimenti internazionali e agevolavano i commerci attraverso le lettere di credito: un&#8217;innovazione che ridusse la necessit&#224; di trasportare oro fisico lungo percorsi pericolosi. La ricchezza di Firenze non fu frutto del caso. Si fondava su fiducia, reputazione e una raffinatezza finanziaria senza eguali nel resto dell&#8217;Europa medievale. Elemento centrale del successo bancario fiorentino fu il fiorino d&#8217;oro, introdotto nel 1252. Coniato in oro puro e caratterizzato da una notevole costanza di peso e qualit&#224;, il fiorino divenne rapidamente la valuta pi&#249; affidabile d&#8217;Europa. Mercanti, sovrani e istituzioni lo accettavano senza esitazione; esso fungeva da linguaggio finanziario universale, consentendo a Firenze di dominare il commercio internazionale. La solidit&#224; del fiorino rafforz&#242; l&#8217;autorit&#224; delle banche fiorentine e incoraggi&#242; la concessione di prestiti sempre pi&#249; ingenti.</em></p><p><em>Il sistema sub&#236; un crollo drammatico nel 1346, quando il re d&#8217;Inghilterra Edoardo III and&#242; in default su enormi prestiti contratti con i banchieri fiorentini, in particolare le famiglie Bardi e Peruzzi. Tali prestiti avevano finanziato le campagne militari inglesi, incluse le fasi iniziali della Guerra dei cent&#8217;anni. Il mancato rimborso ebbe conseguenze catastrofiche: le banche Bardi e Peruzzi collassarono sotto il peso dei debiti insoluti, innescando una crisi finanziaria che si propag&#242; in tutta Firenze. Patrimoni svanirono da un giorno all&#8217;altro e la fiducia croll&#242;; intere famiglie persero influenza politica, propriet&#224; e prestigio. Si tratt&#242; di una delle prime grandi crisi bancarie internazionali della storia europea, e Firenze ne pag&#242; il prezzo</em>.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Ci insegna un concetto molto semplice: quando nella politica monetaria compaiono &#8220;<strong>ENORMI PRESTITI</strong>&#8221; destinati alla guerra (come adesso), la mossa pi&#249; prudente &#232; essere i PRIMI a correre in banca per convertire le &#8220;lettere di credito&#8221; &#8211; ovvero la carta &#8211; in oro vero; perch&#233; &#232; solo quando ormai &#232; troppo tardi che ci si rende conto di come la carta priva di valore sia ovunque, mentre di oro non ce n&#8217;&#232; pi&#249; traccia. Ricordate le due sole categorie? Rileggiamole: non ditemi che le avete gi&#224; dimenticate:</p><ol><li><p>CHI POSSIEDE ORO</p></li><li><p>CHI NON LO POSSIEDE</p></li></ol><p>In quest&#8217;epoca di ENORMI PRESTITI E GUERRE, cosa preferireste avere? CARTA O ORO?</p><p>Potrebbe sembrare una cosa ovvia per i saggi, ma la storia ci insegna che la saggezza &#232; rara come l&#8217;oro.</p><p>Sempre da Galbraith, ecco un&#8217;altra citazione:</p><p>&#171;<em>LA MONETA...nel corso dei secoli, gli uomini hanno creduto di aver scoperto il segreto della sua infinita moltiplicazione. E con la stessa sicurezza con cui hanno persuaso di questo se stessi, sono riusciti a convincere anche gli altri. Invariabilmente ci&#242; comporta la riscoperta, magari in forma leggermente nuova, di qualche truffa infinitamente antica. </em></p><p><em>L&#8217;intervallo di tempo tra le altezze trascendentali del genio finanziario e il nadir del suo crollo successivo.</em></p><p><em>Dal John Law, salvatore della Reggenza francese, al John Law penitente a Venezia; dal Nicholas Biddle, primo re della finanza americana, personaggio capace di metter paura  persino ai presidenti, al Nicholas Biddle divenuto il pi&#249; famoso dei falliti di Philadelphia; dal Bernard Cornfeld dei jet e delle concubine, al Bernard Cornfeld della prigione di St. Antoine - &#232; spesso di pochi mesi, o al massimo di pochi anni. </em></p><p><em>Queste ascese vertiginose, queste terribili cadute sono oggetto di meraviglia e di una certa malvagia soddisfazione, specialmente perch&#233; capitano ad altri. Ma in questi casi, certo, &#232; la  storia che &#232; importante, non il suo significato.&#187;</em></p><p>Di questa lezione di storia colpiscono la figura di Bernard Cornfeld e la somiglianza del suo comportamento con quello dei protagonisti della nostra epoca. &#171;Bernard Cornfeld, quello dei jet privati &#8203;&#8203;e delle concubine&#187;. A chi vi fa pensare? Esatto! Un altro caso storico da riscoprire. Stesso copione, stesse abitudini degenerate e stessa fine tragica per chi affida i propri sudati risparmi a gente del genere.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

online&#8230;</p><p>https://time.com/archive/6627504/western-europe-the-return-of-bernie-cornfeld/</p><p>&#8220;<em>Guida una Lancia Flaminia cabriolet, naviga su un Corsair di 42 piedi, possiede uno chalet per lo sci e un castello in Francia e vive in una sfarzosa villa alla periferia di Ginevra con due alani e un maggiordomo cinese. Arreda il suo ufficio all&#8217;ultimo piano con mobili in stile Impero rivestiti di seta rossa e si circonda di schiere di segretarie attraenti e poliglotte</em>&#8221;&#8230;</p><p>Uno stile di vita davvero sfarzoso... ma come and&#242; a finire?</p><p>Nella primavera del 1970, il valore delle azioni della sua societ&#224; di fondi comuni, la Investors Overseas Service (IOS), scese da 18 a 12 dollari. Cornfeld costitu&#236; un gruppo di investimento con altri investitori, ma sub&#236; delle perdite quando il valore delle azioni croll&#242; a 2 dollari. Il finanziere Robert Vesco, anch&#8217;egli in difficolt&#224; economiche all&#8217;epoca, si rivolse a Cornfeld offrendogli il proprio aiuto. Vesco utilizz&#242; poi 500 milioni di dollari dell&#8217;IOS per coprire i propri investimenti nella sua International Controls Corporation. Una volta scoperto, Vesco fugg&#236; in Costa Rica. L&#8217;IOS collass&#242;, trascinando con s&#233; nel fallimento diverse banche statunitensi ed europee.</p><p>Chi aveva oro o chi aveva quote di IOS? Chi pensate abbia avuto la meglio al momento del crollo della societ&#224;?</p><p>E quindi, cosa fare adesso? Acquistare oro &#232; sufficiente a salvarci da ci&#242; che ci aspetta? Non basta. Ecco alcuni altri consigli utili da imparare o riscoprire.</p><p>Tra le persone di buon senso e di buon cuore prevale una sensazione di angoscia dovuta all&#8217;ingiustizia dilagante.</p><p>Bisogna ragionare in modo lucido per valutare la realt&#224;.</p><p>Chi comanda e decide &#232; uscito allo scoperto.</p><p>Hanno voluto farsi vedere e farci vedere cosa sono capaci di fare a noi e ai nostri bambini.</p><p>Lo abbiamo visto tutti.</p><p>Chiedere giustizia a questa confraternita di mostri &#232; ingenuo.</p><p>Abbiamo anche capito che lo strumento che rende invincibile il loro potere &#232; il denaro; infatti, <strong>la parte visibile del vertice della confraternita &#232; costituita da elementi collegati alla finanza internazionale.</strong></p><p>Dispongono di soldi infiniti per pagare e corrompere chiunque.</p><p>Dispongono di &#8220;hitmen&#8221; per eliminare fisicamente chiunque.</p><p>Lo abbiamo visto pi&#249; volte.</p><p>La domanda che ognuno deve quindi rivolgere a s&#233; stesso &#232;: </p><p><strong>&#200; possibile fare qualcosa</strong>?</p><p>La mia risposta &#232; questa.</p><blockquote><p>Ma prima, ti invito a prendere in considerazione un abbonamento a pagamento a questa newsletter:</p><p>Per chi ha appena scoperto il mio Substack: sappiate che tutti i proventi derivanti dagli abbonamenti a pagamento e dalla vendita dei miei tre libri sull&#8217;oro vengono sempre e interamente devoluti in beneficenza tramite la ITALIAN BAHAMAS ASSOCIATION.

(Personalmente mi sono trasferito a Eleuthera alle Bahamas, un posto ricchissimo di risorse naturali, con poca gente e dove non &#232; possibile morire di freddo).</p><p>N.2) Dato che hanno detto che faranno un GRANDE RESET, potrebbe essere opportuno togliere i soldi dai loro istituti e dai loro server e convertire i soldi fasulli in beni reali e tangibili.  Gli unici beni reali e tangibili che sono anche moneta sono oro e argento. (Per prendere oro consiglio la societ&#224; Moneta Aurea Investimenti S.p.A. - </p><p>https://www.monetaaurea.com/) </p><p>N.3) Dato che tutti i giorni arrivano energumeni tagliagole, conservare una forma fisica eccellente e conoscere almeno alcuni rudimenti di arti marziali e di sopravvivenza. (Per iniziare consiglio il Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu come tecnica di difesa personale pi&#249; affidabile).</p><p>Non fare niente riguardo ai 3 punti qui sopra significa essere d&#8217;accordo con il piano e, come nel caso delle iniezioni letali durante la scamdemic, il 99,9% della gente ha sempre dimostrato di essere d&#8217;accordo. Chi &#232; d&#8217;accordo &#232; complice.</p><p><strong>In tempi di RESET, preservare la ricchezza equivale a preservare la vita!</strong></p><p>Le carte e gli artifici bancari sono solo promesse che richiedono fiducia. <strong>L&#8217;oro &#232; una promessa gi&#224; mantenuta.</strong></p><p>C&#8217;&#232; ancora la possibilit&#224; di scegliere.</p><p>Cordiali saluti, Andrea Cecchi</p><div

The only problem is that people get bored with it and never learn. People forget, and it always ends in tragedy.</p><p>By the title of this newsletter, I am already sure that very few will read on. Why? Because let&#8217;s admit it: history is boring to the most. What&#8217;s not boring? Hype! People want hype. People want to get rich fast.</p><p>Let&#8217;s consider the novel Pinocchio; that explains this perfectly. </p><p>Pinocchio is given some gold coins by whom? Yes, the &#171;puppet master&#187; Mangiafuoco. He is instantly persuaded by the old trick that multiplying wealth is possible overnight. You just have to trust the right people, right? </p><p>That is what people want. Keeping gold is too boring. The fact that it has outlived any other form of money is ignored by most. It doesn&#8217;t trigger greed. It requires prudence and wisdom, two very tedious attributes of one&#8217;s life.</p><p>The fact that gold has been money for over 6000 years is a simple answer, and the press is constantly oriented to distract people from gold, going to the extent of this F.T. article calling it a 6000-year-old ongoing bubble. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

This truth is probably too simple to accept. <strong>Simple is boring</strong>. Especially in the futuristic techno era where if something is not an &#8220;Xsomething&#8221; is not relevant and worthy of consideration. </p><p>The renowned economist J.K. Galbraith put it in the most perfect way when he wrote:</p><p><em>"<strong><mark>The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled.&#8221;</mark></strong></em> </p><p>Yes, THE MIND IS REPELLED. </p><p><strong>And then, there is greed, that insane driving force that blinds people to deny evidence whilst luring them like fish after a well-presented bait.</strong></p><p>On the other level, there are big players and central banks, and how they never seem to consider gold boring.

There are always only two categories:</p><ol><li><p><strong>THOSE THAT HAVE GOLD</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>THOSE THAT DON&#8217;T</strong></p></li></ol><p>I am Italian from Florence. The city of Florence.</p><p>I quote from this link: https://florenceunveiled.com/bankers-of-florence/</p><p><em><span>By the early 14th century, Florence was the </span><strong>banking capital of Europe</strong><span>. Florentine bankers financed kings, popes, and merchants, operating international networks that stretched from London to Naples, from Paris to the eastern Mediterranean. The </span><strong>Bardi</strong><span> and </span><strong>Peruzzi</strong><span> families stood at the pinnacle of this system. Their banks managed royal debts, handled international transfers, and facilitated trade through </span><strong>letters of credit</strong><span> &#8212; an innovation that reduced the need to transport physical gold across dangerous routes. Florence&#8217;s wealth was not accidental. It was built on </span><strong>trust, reputation, and financial sophistication</strong><span> unmatched elsewhere in medieval Europe.</span></em></p><p><em><span>Central to Florentine banking success was the </span><strong>florin d&#8217;oro</strong><span>, introduced in </span><strong>1252</strong><span>. Struck in pure gold and remarkably consistent in weight and quality, the florin quickly became the most trusted currency in Europe. Merchants, rulers, and institutions accepted the florin without hesitation. It functioned as a </span><strong>global financial language</strong><span>, enabling Florence to dominate international commerce. The strength of the florin reinforced the authority of Florentine banks &#8212; and encouraged increasingly ambitious lending.</span></em></p><p><em><span>The system unraveled dramatically in </span><strong>1346</strong><span>, when </span><strong>King Edward III of England</strong><span> defaulted on enormous loans owed to Florentine bankers, particularly the </span><strong>Bardi</strong><span> and </span><strong>Peruzzi</strong><span>. These loans had financed England&#8217;s military campaigns, including the early phases of the </span><strong>Hundred Years&#8217; War</strong><span>. When repayment failed, the consequences were catastrophic. The Bardi and Peruzzi banks collapsed under the weight of unpaid debts, triggering a </span><strong>financial crisis</strong><span> that rippled across Florence. Fortunes vanished overnight. Confidence collapsed. Entire families lost political influence, property, and prestige. This was one of the first major </span><strong>international banking crises</strong><span> in European history &#8212; and Florence paid the price.</span></em></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg" width="166" height="202.3695054945055" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/fd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1775,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:166,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Potrebbe essere un'immagine raffigurante testo&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="Potrebbe essere un'immagine raffigurante testo" title="Potrebbe essere un'immagine raffigurante testo" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_424, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_848, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4-ur!, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/andreacecchi.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ffd6ca880-cb8c-4646-8c2a-9bd18bb68cd5_1680x2048.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>What does this lesson teach us? It teaches us a very simple concept: that when &#8220;<strong>ENORMOUS LOANS</strong>&#8221; for the purpose of war appear on the monetary policy, the most prudent way to act is to be the FIRST to rush to the bank and <strong>convert the &#8220;letters of credit&#8221;, the paper, in solid gold, because only when it&#8217;s too late people realize that valueless paper is everywhere, but there is no gold to get</strong>. Remember the only two categories? Let&#8217;s read them again, don&#8217;t tell me you forgot already: </p><ol><li><p><strong>THOSE THAT HAVE GOLD</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>THOSE THAT DON&#8217;T</strong></p></li></ol><p>In this era of ENORMOUS LOANS AND WARS, what would you rather have? PAPER OR GOLD?</p><p>This might be read as a no-brainer for the wise, but history always tells us that <strong>wisdom is as scarce as gold. </strong></p><p>Still from Galbraith, here is another quote:</p><p>&#171;Money. <em>Over the centuries, men have believed they had discovered the secret to its infinite multiplication. And with the same confidence with which they convinced themselves of this, they managed to convince others as well. Invariably, this entails the rediscovery&#8212;perhaps in a slightly new guise&#8212;of some age-old scam.</em></p><p><em>Consider the span of time between the dizzying heights of financial genius and the nadir of the subsequent collapse.</em></p><p><em>From John Law, savior of the French Regency, to the penitent John Law in Venice; from Nicholas Biddle&#8212;the first king of American finance, a figure capable of striking fear even into presidents&#8212;to Nicholas Biddle, who became Philadelphia&#8217;s most famous bankrupt; from the <strong>Bernard Cornfeld of private jets and concubines</strong> to the Bernard Cornfeld of St. Antoine prison&#8212;the interval is often a matter of mere months, or at most, a few years.</em></p><p><em>These meteoric rises and catastrophic falls are a source of wonder and a certain malicious satisfaction&#8212;especially because they happen to other people. Yet in these instances, of course, it is the story itself that matters, not its significance</em>.&#187;</p><p>Interesting from this history lesson the character of Bernard Cornfeld and the similitude of his conduct with the protagonists of our era. &#171;<em><strong>Bernard Cornfeld of private jets and concubines&#187;</strong></em>. Who does he remind you of? Yes! another case of history to relearn. Same script, same deranged habits and same tragic end, for those who trust these kind of people with their hard earned money. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

online&#8230;.</p><p>https://time.com/archive/6627504/western-europe-the-return-of-bernie-cornfeld/</p><p>&#8220;<em>He drives a Lancia Flaminia convertible, sails a 42-ft. Corsair, owns a ski lodge and a castle in France and lives in a lavish villa in suburban Geneva with two Great Danes and a Chinese houseman. He decorates his penthouse office with red silk Empire furnishings and swarms of attractive, multilingual secretaries</em>&#8221;&#8230; </p><p>A lavish lifestyle indeed&#8230;and how did it end?</p><p>His mutual fund company, Investors Overseas Service&#8217;s share value decreased from $18 to $12 in the spring of 1970. Cornfeld formed an investment pool with some other investors, but they lost when the share value dropped to $2. Financier Robert Vesco who, at the time, was also in financial trouble, turned to Cornfeld and offered his help.<sup><span> </span></sup>Vesco proceeded to use $500 million worth of IOS money to cover his own investments in his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Controls_Corporation">International Controls Corporation</a>.<sup> </sup>When he was discovered, Vesco fled to Costa Rica. IOS then collapsed and, in the process, ruined a number of US and European banks.</p><p>Gold or IOS? Who do you think was better off when IOS collapsed?</p><p>So what to do now? Is buying gold enough to save us from what is coming? Not enough. Here are some other useful tips to learn or relearn.</p><p>A sense of anguish prevails among sensible, kind-hearted people due to the rampant injustice. We must think clearly to assess reality.</p><p>Those in charge&#8212;the decision-makers&#8212;have stepped out into the open.</p><p>They wanted to be seen, and they wanted us to see what they are capable of doing to us and our children. They released THE FILES. Now we all know! </p><p>We have all witnessed it.</p><p><strong>It is naive to seek justice from this brotherhood of monsters</strong>.</p><p>We have also realized that the tool rendering their power invincible is money; <strong>indeed, the visible figures at the top of this brotherhood are linked to international finance.</strong></p><p>They have unlimited funds to pay off and corrupt anyone.</p><p>They have &#8220;hitmen&#8221; at their disposal to physically eliminate anyone who opposes.</p><p>We have seen this happen time and again.</p><p>The question everyone must therefore ask themselves is:</p><p>&#8220;Is there anything that can be done?&#8221;</p><p>Here is my answer.</p><blockquote><p>but first, please consider a paid subscription to this newsletter:</p><blockquote><p>For those who are new to my Substack, please know that all of the revenue from your paid subscription and from the sale of my 3 books about GOLD is always and in full, entirely donated to charity via the ITALIAN BAHAMAS ASSOCIATION.

Personally, I have moved to Eleuthera, Bahamas. (For all info about moving to the Bahamas, please contact me via WhatsApp +1 242 5513219). </p><p>No. 2) Since they have announced a &#8220;GREAT MONETARY RESET,&#8221; it might be wise to withdraw money from their institutions and servers, converting fiat currency into real, tangible assets. <strong>The only real, tangible assets that also function as money are gold and silver. (</strong>To get bullion, contact your trusted dealer.)</p><p>No. 3) Given the daily influx from abroad of thuggish cutthroats and urban guerrillas, one should maintain excellent physical fitness and learn at least the basics of martial arts and survival skills. (To start, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective technique). </p><p>Doing nothing about the three points above implies agreement with the plan; as was the case with the lethal injections during the &#8220;scamdemic,&#8221; 99.9% of people have consistently shown themselves to be in agreement. Those who agree are complicit.</p><p>In times of RESET, preserving wealth equals preserving life! </p><p><strong>Paper and bank tricks are only commitments to be trusted. Gold is a promise already kept.</strong></p><p>You can still choose.</p><p>Stay safe. </p><p>Yours sincerely, Andrea Cecchi</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

pi&#249; cani. Di solito se ne stanno in attesa vicino a qualche giardino, del tutto indifferenti ai veicoli parcheggiati, ma pronti a scagliarsi contro le auto in movimento con uno slancio impressionante. Dato che amo anche andare in bicicletta, la cosa rappresentava un problema, finch&#233; non ho capito che i cani smettevano di inseguirmi non appena mi fermavo. I cani rincorrono solo ci&#242; che si muove; pi&#249; veloce &#232; il movimento, maggiore &#232; la foga.</p><p>Nel mio caso, una volta fermo, mi rendo conto che tutto ci&#242; che volevano era solo essere accarezzati.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

tenerone.</p><p>Il principio secondo cui un veicolo in movimento attira l'inseguimento di un cane ha dato origine al proverbio citato, applicabile anche alle vicende umane: se una persona ha successo e avanza nella vita, gli invidiosi finiranno inevitabilmente per "abbaiarle" contro. </p><p>Tuttavia, osservando di recente l'andamento del prezzo dell'oro, ho notato che la stessa regola sembra valere per chi insegue il metallo prezioso: c'&#232; chi lo rincorre freneticamente quando sale rapidamente &#8211; segnando ogni giorno nuovi massimi storici &#8211; per poi perdere completamente interesse non appena il prezzo smette di salire e subisce una correzione. Proprio come Buttercup, che passa da una corsa sfrenata accompagnata da abbai concitati a fermarsi per leccare la mano.</p><p>Quindi, cosa sta succedendo adesso? </p><p><strong>L'ORO STA TORNANDO A SALIRE.</strong></p><p> E i cani hanno ricominciato ad abbaiare. Comprendo questo istinto naturale. &#200; un misto di avidit&#224; e FOMO, ed &#232; comprensibile. Tuttavia, nel mio lavoro ho sempre cercato di sottolineare l'importanza di detenere oro in questo momento, <strong>non per avidit&#224;, ma per la responsabilit&#224; </strong>di preservare il potere d'acquisto dei propri risparmi in questi tempi di: </p><ol><li><p>GRANDE RESET</p></li><li><p>RIORGANIZZAZIONE MONETARIA GLOBALE</p></li><li><p>GREAT TAKING </p></li></ol><p>Queste tre fasi sono reali, cos&#236; come sar&#224; reale il dolore di vedere i propri risparmi azzerati. Ricapitoliamo le mosse pi&#249; evidenti attualmente in corso, che &#232; necessario monitorare con attenzione. La pi&#249; significativa &#232; il raro intervento congiunto sul mercato: il Dipartimento del Tesoro USA sta acquistando yen giapponesi (in parte vendendo euro) per sostenere la valuta nipponica &#8211; in forte calo e vicina ai minimi degli ultimi 40 anni, intorno a quota 164 yen per dollaro &#8211; contribuendo cos&#236; a stabilizzare i rendimenti obbligazionari globali e i mercati valutari. </p><p>Perch&#233; gli Stati Uniti sono intervenuti sul mercato dei titoli del Tesoro USA? Il Giappone &#232; il principale detentore estero di debito pubblico statunitense (1,14 trilioni di dollari). Prevenire impennate dei rendimenti: se il Giappone fosse stato costretto a vendere ingenti quantit&#224; di titoli del Tesoro USA per difendere autonomamente lo yen, i rendimenti delle obbligazioni americane e i costi di indebitamento interni avrebbero subito un'impennata. </p><p><strong>&#200; un fatto di portata colossale! Segnala quella disperazione che preannuncia prima la catastrofe e poi la capitolazione, come accade nell'atto conclusivo di ogni collasso monetario della storia.</strong></p><p>Questi cambiamenti epocali stanno avvenendo in un'epoca segnata da guerre orchestrate e presunti disastri naturali; disordini e sconvolgimenti scoppiano quotidianamente in ogni parte del mondo, con l'Europa al centro di una inarrestabile caduta libera verso l'abisso. &#200; impossibile per chiunque arrestare questi mutamenti dirompenti. Sarebbe come trovarsi di fronte a un'onda oceanica gigantesca e tentare di fermarla a mani nude. Tuttavia, possiamo posizionarci in modo da cavalcare quell'onda.

Tali interessi vengono aggiunti al capitale iniziale. Attualmente, gli Stati Uniti pagano 22,26 miliardi di dollari a settimana solo di interessi sul proprio debito. Nel suo aggiornamento di bilancio di agosto, il CBO ha riferito che gli interessi netti sul debito pubblico hanno raggiunto un totale di 963 miliardi di dollari nel periodo compreso tra l'ottobre 2025 (inizio dell'anno fiscale) e il luglio 2026. Ci&#242; equivale a 96,3 miliardi di dollari al mese, ovvero circa 3,18 miliardi di dollari al giorno.</p><p>https://fortune.com/2026/08/11/us-treasury-national-debt-interest-cbo-yen-unwinds/</p><div

Affinch&#233; questo modello economico sia sostenibile, il valore della garanzia sottostante deve aumentare. La bolla immobiliare del 2008 ha dimostrato che il prezzo della garanzia (gli immobili) non pu&#242; salire all'infinito. Non &#232; stato nemmeno necessario un calo dei prezzi: la bolla &#232; scoppiata semplicemente perch&#233; i prezzi delle case hanno smesso di crescere a ritmi a doppia cifra. Oggi gli immobili sono troppo costosi rispetto ai salari medi. Si &#232; raggiunto il limite della crescita perpetua. &#200; impossibile continuare a gonfiare i prezzi delle case di pari passo con l'aumento esponenziale del debito. Ed ecco che emerge una nuova bolla. Quella attuale &#232; alimentata dalle previsioni di profitto delle aziende che operano nell'ambito dell'intelligenza artificiale. La differenza sostanziale &#232; che le case sono, quantomeno, beni tangibili ed essenziali. Anche l'IA &#232; certamente essenziale......ma la Cina lo offre praticamente gratis. La domanda &#232;: quanto &#232; sostenibile una bolla alimentata dal debito, che scommette sulla redditivit&#224; di aziende produttrici di qualcosa che nessuno acquister&#224;, semplicemente perch&#233; quel medesimo prodotto sta diventando, al contempo, gratuito? Ecco un'altra riflessione. Dato che il mantenimento di questo modello richiede &#8212; come abbiamo visto &#8212; di gonfiare il prezzo di un bene a garanzia, quale sar&#224; la prossima attivit&#224; a subire un massiccio rialzo delle quotazioni? A giudicare dai massicci acquisti di oro effettuati da banche centrali e investitori istituzionali, tale bene potrebbe benissimo essere l'oro. Ecco perch&#233; detenere oro, in questa fase storica, potrebbe rappresentare il modo migliore per partecipare al futuro scenario economico. Approfondisco l'argomento nei miei libri, ma credo che questo ultimo paragrafo &#8212; quello che avete appena letto &#8212; sia sufficiente a far comprendere la portata di ci&#242; che sta accadendo e della posta in gioco.</p><p>Se rientri tra le pochissime persone che avranno il privilegio di leggere questo testo prima che arrivino "i cani"... inizia subito a prendere in considerazione l'acquisto di oro. Il prezzo dell'oro ha gi&#224; ricominciato a muoversi e "i cani" stanno iniziando a drizzare le orecchie, ma non si stanno ancora muovendo n&#233; abbaiando. Quando il prezzo dell'oro riprender&#224; a correre, vedrai molti "cani" lanciarsi all'inseguimento della stessa oncia d'oro, e non ce ne sar&#224; abbastanza per tutti. La massa verr&#224; incanalata verso lo &#8220;stabbiolo" delle stablecoin (stable vuol dire stabbiolo in inglese)... e sai cos'&#232; uno stabbiolo? &#200; il luogo in cui vengono tenuti i maiali prima di essere macellati.</p><p>Ora che lo sai, agisci il prima possibile: esci dallo stabbiolo, evita di finire al macello e compra oro! Quando il "Great Reset" sar&#224; realt&#224;, potrai usare il tuo oro proprio come fanno i vincitori. Esatto. I vincitori si aggiudicano la medaglia d'oro... mentre i cani... quelli resteranno a latrare. </p><p>Non arrenderti senza combattere. </p><p>Andrea Cecchi</p><p>Ps. Dove si compra oro?</p><p>Soltanto dagli operatori autorizzati tra cui Moneta Aurea Investimenti Spa,  l'azienda che raccomando.

the end.</p><p>The principle of moving vehicle = chasing dog, gave origin to the afore mentioned proverb that also applies to human circumstances, such as, if one is successful and moving forward in life, envious people surely will &#8220;bark&#8221; at him.</p><p>But as I have recently noticed, observing the movements of the price of gold, the same rule have seemed to have been applied to people chasing gold when it was fast moving upwards, making all time highs every day, and totally loose interest in the chase as gold prices stopped moving up and corrected.  Just like Buttercup, that goes from a frantic barking run, to a hand licking stop. </p><p>So what is going on now?</p><p>GOLD IS MOVING UP AGAIN.</p><p>And dogs are back barking. </p><p>I understand this natural instinct. It's a mixture of greed and FOMO, and it's OK.</p><p>But with my work I have always tried to underline the importance of having gold now, <strong>without principles of greed</strong>, but with the responsibility of preserving the purchasing value of one's savings in these times of:</p><ol><li><p>THE GREAT RESET </p></li><li><p>GLOBAL MONETARY REORDERING </p></li><li><p>GREAT TAKING </p></li></ol><p>These 3 phases are real as it will be real the pain of having your savings wiped out. </p><p>Let's recap the most evident moves that are ongoing and that we need to keep an eye in.</p><p>The biggest one is the rare joint market intervention, with the U.S. Treasury buying Japanese yen (partly by selling euros) to support the plunging Japanese currency from 40-year lows near 164 yen per dollar, helping stabilize global bond yields and currency markets.</p><p>Why the has the U.S. Intervened to U.S. Treasuries? Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt ($1.14 trillion). Preventing Yield Spikes: If Japan had been forced to sell massive amounts of U.S. Treasuries to defend the yen independently, American bond yields and domestic borrowing costs would have surged.</p><p>This is MONUMENTAL! It signals the desperation that announces the catastrophe firts and capitulation after, as the final chapter of every monetary collapse in history. </p><p>These gigantic movements are happening in a time of engineered wars and alleged natural disasters, with disorders and disruptions breaking out every single day all over the world, with Europe as the epicenter of an unstoppable free fall towards the abyss. </p><p>It's not possible for anyone to stop these disruptive shifts. It would be like standing before a gigantic oceanic wave and trying to stop it with bare hands. </p><p>But we can position ourselves and ride the wave.</p><p>This is what we need to know, but first, please consider a paid subscription to this newsletter:</p><blockquote><p>For those who are new to my Substack, please know that all of the revenue from your paid subscription and from the sale of my 3 books about GOLD is always and in full, entirely donated to charity via the ITALIAN BAHAMAS ASSOCIATION.

For this economic model to be sustainable, the value of the underlying collateral must appreciate. The 2008 real estate bubble demonstrated that the price of collateral (real estate) cannot rise indefinitely. A price drop wasn't even necessary; the bubble burst simply because home prices stopped rising at double-digit rates. Real estate is now too expensive for average wages. The limit of perpetual growth has been reached. It is impossible to keep inflating home prices in step with the exponential rise in debt. Enter a new bubble. The current bubble is being inflated by profit forecasts for AI companies. The huge difference is that houses are, at the very least, tangible and essential assets. AI is certainly essential, too&#8212;but China is offering it practically for free. The question is: how sustainable is a debt-fueled bubble betting on the profitability of companies producing something that no one will buy, simply because that same product is simultaneously becoming free? Here is another thought. Since maintaining this model requires inflating the price of a collateral asset&#8212;as we have seen&#8212;what will be the next asset to see its price driven up massively? Judging by the massive gold purchases made by central banks and institutional investors, that asset could well be gold. That is why holding gold at this historic juncture might be the best way to participate in the future economic landscape. I discuss this at large in my books, but this last paragraph thay you just read, I believe is sufficient to grasp the magnitude of what is going on and what is at stake. </p><p>If you are among the very, very few people who will have the privilege to read this before &#8220;the dogs&#8221;&#8230;start considering buying gold now.</p><p>The price of gold has already started to move again and &#8220;the dogs&#8221; are starting to raise a ear, but they aren't neither moving nor barking yet.</p><p>When the price of gold will resume its speed, you will see many &#8220;dogs&#8221; chasing the same ounce of gold and there will not be enough gold for everyone. </p><p>Most of the crowds will be channeled towards the &#8220;stable&#8221; of stablecoins&#8230;.and you know what a stable is? Is the place where pigs are kept before being slaughtered. </p><p>Now that you know this, take action as soon as possible, jump out of the stable, don't get slaughtered: buy gold! When the GREAT RESET will be done, you will be able to use your gold as winners do.</p><p>That's right. Winners do win the GOLD MEDAL&#8230;.and the dogs,&#8230;.they will stay barking.</p><p>Don't give up without a fight. Stay safe. </p><p>Andrea Cecchi </p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[GOLD OR TOKEN?
