June 16, 2017 Featured GuestsDr. Stephen Leeb & Bill Murphy  Show Highlights Bill Murphy of GATA.org returns with insights into this week's FOMC rate hike decision. Fed policymakers raised the overnight lending rate by a quarter point from 1% to 1.25%. The current FFF contracts indicate low odds of another rate hike in 2017 and high odds for another quarter point increase next year. With no further rate increase anticipated in 2017, interest in the Greenback should yield to the precious metals. The guest / host agree that a spectacular rise in the PMs is imminent, in similar fashion as the Bitcoin bonanza from sub-$1,000 to $3,000. Billionaire VC, Tim Draper is calling for $10,000 Bitcoin in 2018. Just as the PTB have lost control of the cryptocurrency tulip mania-like market.This is due in part to the difficulty of naked short-selling the sector, gold and silver will break their shackles and ascend to new records. When silver closes firmly above $21, momentum traders and hedge funds will pile into the trade, igniting an epic short-covering squeeze. Gold and silver could capture FOREX market share by as much as 10-20%, resulting in a windfall increase of $1 trillion in capital gains.Dr. Stephen Leeb presents a compelling case for China as the center of the global economy. The Shanghi Cooperation Organization (SCO) is unifying half the disenfranchised world, over 3 billion people via 8 nations, formerly at oddsThe net impact solidifies the goal to dominate the economies of the East / developing world, the home of 75% of global oil reserves. Unfortunately, the US was not only rejected from the SCO, but cannot even act as an observer, presenting a potential strategic opportunity for US diplomacy. Even if the a precious metals selloff ensues, the die is cast for a new bull market. The digital monetary revolution is kicking into high gear - current estimates project 10% of the $5 trillion dollar FOREX market become digital. Bitcoin will encompass one third of the $500 billion digital currency space, implying a potential market cap of $1.7 trillion, or $100,000 per Bitcoin. Jim Cramer recently called for $1,000,000 per Bitcoin, as institutions / governments scramble to release their information systems from the Ransomware: WannaCry. A top Silicon Valley venture capitalist and billionaire, Tim Draper is calling for $100,000 per coin. Ethereum and Komodo among numerous competitors will absorb the remaining $330 billion digital currency space.The resulting digital gold rush will usher in one of the hottest profit opportunities of the decade. The discussion includes a pitch for a new initial crypto offering, BitSilver. Dr. Leeb recommends a riveting Sci Fi trilogy from China by award winning Cixin Liu, The Three Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End. Key takeaway - the catalyst that could send gold skyward: when an eastern benchmark for oil is announced as denominated in China's Yuan / Renminbi, dollar hegemony will collapse, shifting the balance of power Eastward.
