I feel the pain for Au Ag bugs. It has been brutal.

wait, weren't you one of my trolls from 2011?

edit:  iirc, you made a comment in the Gold: I smell a trap thread right at the top of the gold price 9/2011.  can't remember exactly what it was but it stuck with me...

You don't have to be an early adopter to own a shit ton of bitcoin. 

Bitcoin annualised inflation rates just recently went into single figures ... now at 9.91%.

I feel like a celebration is in order for the bitcoin algorithm taming inflation to below 10%!!

Looks like we just surpassed the cross on the second chart of time.

I don't see what you see. The cross under 10% is supposed to happen in mid-2015. It may have been brought earlier by the constant increase in hashrate, but at the same time this causes a shorter block time and higher coin emission (around +10% these days), so I think it can be confidently stated that we are still months away from going under 10% annual inflation.

Dollar up, everything else down - - > deflation

this one bears close watching:  TLT-20yr UST

according to my cycles we're overdue for a short term bottom here.  thus, i wouldn't get aggressive shorting this.  remember the dead bodies of JGB traders.  otoh, i've said all along that during the next crisis, unlike the last one, i think one of the twin pillars of US hegemony will crack; either the USD or UST's.  i'm still not sure which one so the only way to tell will be to follow the technicals closely as it unfolds.  either way, it could mean big trouble.
