This technology is very new, newer than a millenial even.
No-one really can say how it will play-out, yet the signs are there that crypto is here to stay. To say that you don't trust it though is a little glib, especially if you are in business.
I doubt there are many business owners out there that go so far as to do a psychological check on their clients or customers because of a lack of trust, yet some doggedly won't touch a virtual currency, not even one backed by physical gold as it just doesn't make sense. After years of us being brainwashed into serving up our hard earned cash into an obsolete banking system, the prospect of taking back control of one's finances can be quite daunting.
 Developing a financial education isn't a matter of reading the newspaper and looking at the stocks and commodities pages, (do yourself a favor though and read Rich Dad Poor Dad ) or knowing the price per square meter in each neighbourhood,
​All that is necessary is for you to question yourself, "Is my money working for me, or am I working for my money?" From there you can quickly discover that you pay virtually everybody except yourself. You pay the government, your landlord, grocer, you even pay your bank to let them look after it for you and you pay when you withdraw your own money.

So most of us are still working for money, which means we are chained to it, The point of passive income is to liberate your time for more fruitful endeavors — whatever those may be. So from what I have learnt in the last year about crypto is that if I save gold, buy crypto and then vault my crypto, I get gold back

By Jayson Herewini

Inflation is the result of banks creating money out of thin air then lending that to the government to put into circulation 

It’s all the borrowing the Government is doing that’s causing prices to go up....

Stop borrowing money you don’t have and start saving gold instead that’s the only way to protect yourself from inflation....

Property won’t protect you from inflation look at the 2008 property market crash

Caused by banks being irresponsible lenders, and lending mortgages to anyone and everyone their greed is what made people become homeless over night...

Who bailed them out the Government...mean while the value of Gold increased and those who had it became wealthy...

A crash is coming just wait and see... then you’ll find out if your financial advisor advised you correctly... I’m no financial advisor but I certainly have done my own research and listened to financial advisors like Mike Maloney, Matt Retick,  Anthony Strevens and other financial advisors who are  Advocates of Gold over fiat currency...

Especially in these times... they will...meaning the economists, want you to believe our economy is in good shape 

But I call Teko on that one it’s all a smoke screen....​

Thanks to Mr. Herewini for his thoughts and for use of his musings

Why are high income families in New Zealand struggling if THE PRICE OF GOLD IS GOING UP?!

Simple answer is that they don't save in gold, they depend on their business as their only source of income or investments which are tethered to the dirivitives markets or real estate all of which are dependant on the country's economy and therefore its currency. 

It is impossible to outrun inflation on a linear income.
This means currency i.e your money is slowly (or if you are in Argentina or Zimbabwe, quickly) devaluing, therefore it makes sense to develop savings habits of something that historically has been the go to when things get tough, GOLD.

You have questions if you are doing due diligence right?

So why would I pay more for CASHGOLD when I can buy Gold at the US Price?
Answer: You wouldn't be! When you open your free Gold savings account, you have options that most people won't have. Don't look at it as CASHGOLD's price, look at it as CASHGOLD's value. You can't buy KBC with US Gold but you can exchange your KBC for Gold at Euro prices!
Example: Let's say you buy 1,000 KBC at 3¢ a coin for $30. For every 100 KBC equals 1 gram of Gold. So, 1,000 KBC = 10 CASHGOLD grams at $54.23 per Gram. In other words, just for acquiring CASHGOLD with $30 US dollars, you instantly put $542.30 in your pocket.
Logic: The $8.44 per gram difference that you would save for just buying Gold at US prices and not buying CASHGOLD is actually costing you $8.44 per gram profit when you perceive value and not price. Not to mention spending $30 for 10 grams. That's $3 a gram!

 Today already you can pay with crypto currency, even some blocks from our home in what some would call a marginalized neighborhood, a sushi restaurant will accept them as payment.

What is karatbank coin? https://youtu.be/MDC7akHQyfg
Why Karat Gold Coin Should Go To The Moon: https://youtu.be/q7LF6ywzowU

As we read in the whitepaper:
“The KBC is more than a cryptocurrency.
The KBC stands for a complete paradigm shift!

The KBC is the world's first and only cryptocurrency with real gold coverage. In addition, since 1971, the KBC has been the first currency ever to revive the millennia-long proven principle of covering a monetary system with gold.

​ The KBC combines the fantastic perspectives of the »cryptocurrency« model (e.g. anonymous transfers without middlemen or conventional banks) confidently with the reliability of currency gold cover, which has positively accompanied human history for millennia.

So what is this coin? Read on

Karatcoin lets you trade gold certificates on the Ethereum blockchain. Find out how it works today in our review. 
Karatcoin tokenizes gold certificates on the Ethereum blockchain. You can use Karatcoin to store gold certificates in your ordinary Ethereum wallet.
The project was first announced in September 2017 with a post on Medium: https://medium.com/@karatcoin/karatcoin-tokenizes-gold-certificates-on-ethereum-4afa7426894b.
In the post, Karatcoin’s creators talk about how they want to do more than just digitize gold certificates: they want to create a new economy complete with decentralized financial services, decentralized apps, and more. All of these services will use Karatcoin as a token.
The platform is in development by Dreammy, an Italy-based music sharing service.
Let’s take a closer look at how Karatcoin works.

What Problems Does Karatcoin Seek to Solve?Karatcoin sees a number of problems in today’s gold markets. Here are some of the problems identified in the Karatcoin whitepaper:
Difficulty in Finding Gold:Karatcoin’s whitepaper explains that “gold mines cannot guarantee the necessary supply” of gold, especially for larger orders from the marketplace. They’re struggling to mine an adequate amount of gold to keep up with market demand.
Bond Value:The bond market is producing historically poor yields.
Difficult to Store Gold:Storing gold isn’t easy. Many investors fail to create adequate security systems to protect their gold.
How Does Karatcoin Work?Karatcoin aims to solve all of the problems listed above. Some of the core functions of the ecosystem include:
Direct Links to Gold Mines:Karatcoin’s platform will link directly to gold mines. Karatcoin claims to have already selected a number of mines based on their “ability, background, structural credibility and financial rating.” Karatcoin also claims there’s no intermediary involved in the process: theyinvest directly in gold mines.
5 to 6% Bond Yields:Karatcoin will issue “Karatcoin Gold Asset Certificates” with different maturity dates. These bonds will pay 5 to 6% yields depending on their duration. A one year bond, for example, pays a 5% yield per year, and a five year bond pays a 6% yield per year. Returns are paid every six months until maturation.
Smart Contracts:Transactions between Karatcoin and investors will be managed by smart contracts.
Karatcoin’s whitepaper mentions gold mining operations in South America and Africa. The whitepaper doesn’t mention any specific companies or mines in any of the listed countries. It’s just a list of the top gold producing countries in both regions.
Basically, Karatcoin will hold gold for you, and then you can maintain digitized control of that gold through products like gold cards and gold certificates.
Karatcoin ProductsKaratcoin will offer three main products, including certificates, cards, and tokens.
Gold Certificates:Karatcoin’s gold certificates consist of the Proof of Authority (PoA) information permanently uploaded into the decentralized database. These gold certificates have a specific duration and a fixed revenue. Each Gold Asset Certificate represents $1,000 USD of value.
Gold Cards:PoA Asset Gold Cards consist of the PoA information permanently uploaded into the decentralized database.
Karatcoin Tokens (KTC):KTC is a the digital currency for the Karatcoin platform. Each token will be equal to $3 worth of gold. You can use KTC to buy gold certificates, buy gold cards, or to trade for other cryptocurrencies.
The KaratCoin KTC Token SaleThe Karatcoin token sale will consist of a pre-sale and a main crowdsale. The pre-sale is a private sale only for approved investors. The sale will take place over 15 days in Q1 2018.
The crowdsale, meanwhile, will start 30 days after the conclusion of the pre-sale. It will last for 30 days.
A total supply of 15 million tokens will be sold during the pre-sale and crowdsale at a price of $3 apiece, although bonuses are available throughout the ICO.
Who’s Behind KaratCoin KTC?Karatcoin is being developed by a company called Dreammy. That company is a music hosting platform based in Italy. Dreammy is led by co-founders Simone Orso and Claudia Busato. Dreammy was founded in 2014, with the Karatcoin project launching in June 2017.
KaratCoin KTC ICO ConclusionKaratcoin is a cryptocurrency project seeking to bring gold certificates to the Ethereum blockchain. The platform will digitize your gold holdings, then allow you to hold them in your Karatcoin wallet on your mobile device. You can freely trade Karatcoin tokens (KTC) and gold certificates through the app.
It’s a little difficult to understand how Karatcoin works. The English translation of the website and whitepaper feature some unusual sentences and unclear terms.
The whitepaper, for example, mentions that the company will invest in real gold mines in South America and Africa. However, it’s unclear how these investments will work, or what kinds of returns investors can expect.
The platform is in development by a company called Dreammy. Dreammy’s core product is a music sharing platform – so it’s unclear why they’ve suddenly decided to start investing in gold mines worldwide. The company also operates a vegan recipe website. Overall, it’s unclear how a company that specializes in a music sharing platform plans to dominate the global gold mining industry.
In any case, you can learn more about Karatcoin by visiting online at Karatcoin.co. The ICO is scheduled to begin sometime in Q1 2018, although specific dates have not yet been announced.

This marks a huge step for the young company which has seen a 600% growth in the coin in the last 6 months as an ´invite only´ coin offering. Last year (2018) the KBC completed one of the most successful ico launches in digital currency history resulting in a 100 million USD capital stake from investors as well as the bank securing gold deposit guarantee of some tonnage by ICBC. They laid down 135kg of gold as a base for their ´gold-backed´ crypto coins KCB and the now much talked about, KBC. Company founder and CEO Harald Seiz publicly announced that July 4th 2019 would be ´Gold Independence day´ when the KBC coins would equal 100KBC= 1 gram of gold.
IT IS TOO LATE TO PURCHASE THE COINS at usd 15.00 for 100KBC but contact us and we can show you how to purchase via your own private account at usd 20.00.

Venezuela - You are at war with U.S.A.
As the US tries to keep its currency afloat via warring on the shifting sands of the middle east, Desperate eyes turn to Venezuela as an easy catch, with the polemic Chavez dead and Argentina's new neo-liberal president Mauricio Macri proving ready and willing to 'roll over, sit, play dead'.  Will this mean we may see some easing of conflict in Syria...

Much of Wall Street (or London’s Square Mile or Shanghai’s Pudong district or Hong Kong’s... island) is not a paragon of probity, integrity or adherence to rock-solid rules, ok?

 How many got bonuses, really I have zero idea, but according to the movie "The Big Short" it was
​A LOT! So lots of people lost a lot, some, everything but the 1% looked out for themselves and today still hold executive positions after being shifted sideways. I met Catherine Austin-Fitts not long after the collapse and she was offered a sideways shift from housing to treasury. She in my opinion is a paragon of probity, she turned down the offer and went on the lamb, hiding from the government who froze her accounts and hacked her life.

What Can We Do?

 This is me below. What I have been doing for awhile now is moving a regular amount of paper currency into gold bullion. You can easily do that too and protect yourself against the ravages of inflation...

Up until recently this was out of reach for us 99%'ers but Karatbars began producing and manufacturing the small 1 gram bars specifically for people in our percentile. More than this, the founder, Harald Seiz developed a system of commissioned payments to encourage people to save and even earn free gold in exchange for referring people within YOUR communities to save in like. Just like Solari Circles. Just like immigrant communities have always done; they support their fellow countrymen or families buy buying and selling within their circles of influence. Karatbars is taking this concept a few steps further which I won't go into today, but transparency and security goes hand in hand with Karatbars International's probity.

THE GREAT DEPRESSION BEGINS: THE STOCK MARKET CRASH OF 1929

The American economy entered an ordinary recession during the summer of 1929, as consumer spending dropped and unsold goods began to pile up, slowing production. At the same time, stock prices continued to rise, and by the fall of that year had reached levels that could not be justified by anticipated future earnings. On October 24, 1929, the stock market bubble finally burst, as investors began dumping shares en masse. A record 12.9 million shares were traded that day, known as “Black Thursday.” Five days later, on “Black Tuesday” some 16 million shares were traded after another wave of panic swept Wall Street. Millions of shares ended up worthless, and those investors who had bought stocks “on margin” (with borrowed money) were wiped out completely.
As consumer confidence vanished in the wake of the stock market crash, the downturn in spending and investment led factories and other businesses to slow down production and construction and begin firing their workers. For those who were lucky enough to remain employed, wages fell and buying power decreased. Many Americans forced to buy on credit fell into debt, and the number of foreclosures and repossessions climbed steadily. The adherence to the gold standard, which joined countries around the world in a fixed currency exchange, helped spread the Depression from the United States throughout the world, especially in Europe.

So what is the goal? Move us forward progressively into the ranks of these industrial and banking elites, like the Lehmans, JP Morgans, Rothschilds etc etc etc? South America has always been the bread basket filled to brimming for exploitation for those that are well enough connected, or those that are willing to learn how to SCREW.
