A proprietary feature would render the crypto blockchain registry 100% unalterable, offering a potentially new layer of security to the blockchain.

Highlights – Bob Hoye, Editor & Chief Investment Strategist of Bob Hoye.com rejoins the show with must-hear commentary. – His team embraces proprietary technical indicators seeking exhaustion points in market peaks / valleys. – The duo expect the FOMC to begin a rate lowering cycle as soon as September, 3 months earlier than previously forecasted. – The impetus for the date change involves slowing economic conditions in our key trading partner economies. – His work shows that T-Bill rates climb during booms and decline during economic contractions. – Fed policymakers essentially form rate policy decisions by following the T-Bill rate. – As T-Bill rates decline he asserts that policymakers assume that a new economic contraction is imminent. – Chris Waltzek notes that the T-Bill rate is the summation of investor opinions. – So the directional shift could also be due to anticipation of a Fed rate policy change given the current Fed-speak rhetoric. – The NASDAQ is only approaching the year 2000 peak price on a real inflation adjusted basis. – Gold and silver are higher by approximately 300% a 4-5x on a real basis and a remarkable store of value in comparison. – Both agree, every investment portfolio could benefit from exposure to a position in gold shares and related XAU / HUI companies in anticipation of an epic gold stock market rally in the coming months and years.
