Hey kat, you rock, in your own way, but I have to say that Mr Russell is absolutely mistaken. Gold is continuously mined and sold on the market, and always will be, while humans exist.
I have gold. I can sell it, make it available to the market, at any time. And more to the point: What an absolutely infantile demand you make. Only a child-like mind is capable of making such a ridiculous demand.
What a stupid response. You seriously believe that people are going to stop mining gold? Are you that far gone?
Kazakhstan Authorities Announce Plans To De-Dollarize Economy Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/04/2015 Following the approval of the government, Kazakhstan's Central Bank has announced it plans to de-dollarize its economy by the end of 2016. The goal is to avoid the macroeconomic instability that the USD creates and to give priority to Tenge in trade agreements (banning price designations in foreign exchange). Coming just 2 weeks after the ratification of the $100 billion BRICS bank, and Russia's creation of a SWIFT-alternative, one wonders - as one by one foreign nations agree non-dollar trade and swap agreements - who is becoming 'isolated' now? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-04/whos-isolated-now-kazakhstan-authorities-announce-plans-de-dollarize-economy
