Economist Jim Rickards On Gold Versus Bitcoin

Jim Rickards is the editor of Strategic Intelligence and the author of Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis. He believes gold can go to $10,000 an ounce but he is much more skeptical about bitcoin. Rickards doesn't trust the bitcoin price action and doesn't believe the cryptocurrency will fare well in a financial crisis.

They didn't beat their people to lock them down, hence more number of deaths, while China and other countries which controlled corona had made their people to stay at home forcefully. That's the example of how freedom can also bring you the damage, and even bigger damage than a prevalent system. The problem is not fiat, the problem is system. And the same problem will stay with crypto. It does not have any system. Hence it will bring more damage...

Sure enough it crashed to less than $100. I thought I'd been very savvy and so did my son. Of course I'd have been really savvy had I then advised him to take his $800 and buy 8 more bitcoin and hold. As of now he would be sitting on $376,000 worth of bitcoin. 😬

It'll be worthless. The free market is full of holes when it's not regulated. A coin that people can't trace, transactions can't be stopped, and there's no oversight, kid, if the market is 100% free, you would have been destroyed with predatory lending. And also, bankers, gold mining don't use that much electricity.

    You're completely misunderstanding the point. Even though the mining difficulty adjusts to keep the rate of block creation constant, the bounty for each block discovery is set to decrease at a constant interval. This reduces the profitability of bitcoin mining and at some point in time the costs of mining will be greater than the reward even if the costs stay the same. He never said the mining difficulty is a function of the number of transactions being processed. The point regarding how the energy consumption will be unsustainable is that there are certain levels of demand that the supply won't be able to accommodate for unless energy consumption from mining is allowed to keep increasing. This is because higher bitcoin prices makes mining more profitable, attracting more miners as well as incentivizing current miners to consume more energy. Now if the mining energy consumption is actually going to be restricted at some point as he hypothesizes, that means an increase in the price of bitcoin won't be able to accommodate for the decrease in mining incentive caused by the decrease in reward per block discovery.

    What exactly is gold backed by other than pretty much faith and the small value it can be used for in electronics etc. It's useless for large transactions over any significant distance and it's dangerous and difficult to carry large amounts of with any security. The Gov has already made it illegal to hold gold before and they can do it again. Bottom line, is Gold and Bitcoin both have pro's and con's. But Bitcoin is not meant to replace gold it's meant to replace fiat currency and that's not limited or exclusive to the US Dollar which many of these videos seem to suggest.

    Tango Nevada gold has been used around the world for so long that we have a good average of what it's actual value could be. The value of actual paper money is largely determined by the price of gold. Actually all you're doing when u spend money is transferring debt between ppl, a debt every citizen owes to the government which is represented by gold in Fort Knox for example. If America loses all its gold then the dollar loses its value outside America. That's why ppl don't use gold for everyday purchases (because they already are it's just more efficient representing the gold with dollar bills) gold works because every economy values gold to a similar extent and it's scarce enough that it can retain its value for very long periods of time.The value of a bitcoin is too volatile compared to gold, bitcoins value is dependent on too many factors, including the value of money which is still dependent on the price of gold.

After we agree on X currency, there are a whole lot of other principles and rules of fairness that we must put in place. These to me seem to be what most people are ignoring. The IRS, FBI and SEC will participate, these are pillars of our system. Furthermore X currency won't stop the fact that there will be accumulation of wealth, that there will be attempts at monopolization, that there will be great successes and failures regardless. Bitcoin could be revolutionary in many ways, but it is the way it is being thrown in the face, with that religious kind of fervor, with a huge disregard for the rest of the picture that has made me a skeptic. It just smell really strongly of a ponzi to me.

    Chad the fiat money system is the biggest fraud the world has ever seen. Money is created out of thin air, by a convoluted game of issuance of debt, between the treasury and the governments which is in turn distributed amongst the people via fractional reserve banking. Every dollar that has ever been created, has been offset by an equal amount of debt, which now attracts interest. The first dollar was created from debt. Therefore, it is impossible for the world to be ever debt free. Slavery may have been allegedly eradicated in the form represented by "masters with whips and chains", however, it has simply been shifted to a much more perverse, concealed, and wide-spread form that 99.999% of people aren't even aware of.

The things that can be hacked are people's passwords for holding bitcoin on exchanges or by leaving out their private key. Anything can be hacked if a user has access to you. Would you consider it hacking if your significant other was planning on leaving, and knew your passcode to your safe at your home and stole all your money?

    Do you understand what happens in a recession? The value of tangible, usable assets rises dramatically. Stocks lose their value because you cannot buy a loaf of bread or pay your mortgage with shares of stock. If bitcoin is not widely acceptable for those needs at the time of a recession it will crash. It might come back but there will be people losing much, if not all of their investment.

    No one will use a "currency" with such a high volatility. Bitcoin fucked itself royally, and all you noobs think it's worth so much money. It's not. You're simply trading it back and forth.......it could be anything that you are trading, wouldn't matter. Enjoy.....I'll be heartily laughing, and already am. Been down the get rich quick path many times in my younger years. Almost never works.

    Bitcoin is basically a fiat money big and complicated game, it has not any value for itself, only a demand/offer structure of finally nothing. Well, not nothing, the big human imagination. Can hold its value when the next financial crisis begins? I dont think so.

    The fact your comment got 48 likes proves to us how stupid these bitcoin kids are. I own 0.0137 bitcoins and I'm keeping it but I can recognize all of the problems with it. Everything this man said was logical. He wasn't even hating on Bitcoin he just presented the biggest challenges in front of it.

    everything he said is logical, ah no, bitcoin will perform better in a financial crisis not worse, if the stock market and real estate markets are crashing gold and bitcoin will do well.

    What he want to say is Bitcoin is still contracted to fiat cash system, it very own value still base on real world cash and no matter what all normal people/good people who really doesn't use cryptocurrencies for money laundry still need to PAY the TAX to government... oh boy... at the end government still a winner... how tricky

    Ghosteriz Bitcoin is no more "contracted to" fiat than a candy bar, an ounce of gold or an hour of labor from your plumber.

    You can disagree with this guy but you have to acknowledge that his point about it being untested during tough times is a highly legitimate one. Fed has been printing money like never before these past 10 years. It's very easy for something illegitimate to come into existence and thrive and appear wholly legitimate during a time like this.
