Lately Jim Willie has been doing more videos/audios than his (free) written reports, but yesterday he put up an article:

http://news.goldseek.com/GoldenJackass/1439151178.php

Dr. Willie is about as bearish as they come.  He likes gold (to $10,000 / toz), but does NOT follow Bitcoin.  I once offered to pay for a subscription with BTC, but he was not interested.

His "Hat Trick Letter" is typically 30 + pages long and comes out every month or so.  He now lives far away from the US .gov whom he intensely dislikes.

A tad on the conspiratorial side...

What does this have to do with bitcoin? Is your point really that he doesn't follow Bitcoin? Please explain...

I posted this thread here in "Economics" as Jim Willie has very different views than mainstream economists.  He apparently has highly placed contacts that he gets information from.  (He is also very entertaining to read: "Doomer Porn")

Bitcoin would seem to be an excellent solution to the "mobility of capital" problem (if governments impose capital controls) as well as the Store of Value problem (although BTC is quite volatile, but it DOES act as a hedge vs. local currencies).

JW should be following Bitcoin!  The fact that he does not shows me a flaw in his thinking, or maybe he just has not thought it through.  He lives in Costa Rica last I heard even though he is American.  Living in another country and liking gold would seem to correlate with interest in Bitcoin.
