Russia Pushes Ahead With Plans for SWIFT Alternative

http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/government-pushes-ahead-with-plans-for-swift-analog/506003.html

"...Moiseyev added that, although the law had been drafted, it would not become policy until it was clear that the Central Bank had the technology to enable processing of interbank transactions within Russia.

The plans to develop an alternative to SWIFT follow steps to create a national payment system for processing credit card transactions, after Visa and MasterCard stopped providing services for some Russian banks that were subject to Western sanctions.

Kommersant reported last week that the Central Bank had sent a letter to banks asking them to consider alternative mechanisms for interbank payments, citing national security concerns."

When ripple just came out, I posted a message in the ripple forum to get some free XRP. Totally forgot about it until that dude started messaging me asking to exchange my XRP for a ridiculously high price. That's when I knew to get out immediately and did.. I feel kinda sorry for him.

gold has to get back up over 1325 to become relevant again.

We could go as high as 1600 before assuming gold has done anything but meander within a malaise.


Heres a shorter term trend that might lead to some gains forming or vice versa

Interesting, 2000 BTC seems like a big deal now. 2 months back they would've been snipped away like it's nothing.

BTC volume was reported as greatly falling in a national newspaper, apparently it was well researched though I dont have it here now.     Volume and market size is falling ? which would seem to match your 2000 marker comment

A worldwide deflation fear is expanding and may actually be rampant. BCA Daily Insights (August 25, 2014) notes that, “out of 32 OEC countries, more than two-thirds have domestic inflation rates that fall short of 1%.” BCA analysts go on to argue that the worldwide inflation rate may converge to zero over the next couple of years.

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2014/08/deflation-fear/
I simply dont believe it and I do mean simply because it seems a straightforward argument to say we obviously have inflation.     Many governments, some of the largest even are running defecits and so they are increasing their debt and in turn the size of their national montary base.
So I take that debt as money, I know its not treated as such and its unlikely someone will convert 1 trillion of debt directly into paper notes to go use on a high street.   However if they did it would immediately realise what is already in play, that we do have inflation of many national currencies.
  The money is not being exchanged for goods however so I presume this is why we have the fear of deflation.   What is actually happening I think is lower trade per capitia and a kinda sinkhole effect where debt is being contained and money supply restricted, lower velocity of money.
 
   If all the banks stopping lending this would be deflation as in effect less money is available and so I think the debt situation is similar.  
It does not stop inflation (of the monetary base) being true, one day it will happen like an avalanche.   The only alternative is to vaporise that debt by default, then we may have true deflation.
As a counter I will point to the prices of extremely high worth items such as rare art or unique classic cars perhaps, there is no deflation in these markets and they are relevant as they match the standard unit sizes of $100,000 that a treasury bond deal would be done in.
   I would much rather take the Dino Ferrari then debt which yield so little.  e.g. The EURO overnight rate just went sub-Zero

Debt is deflationary overall, the inflation is temporary..... Yes, we get the money now, but it has to be paid back with interest.  This increases demand for money, thus deflation.  Abolishing debt would not be deflationary because that would free up money that was previously allocated to servicing said debt.  Deflation causes default, default doesn't cause deflation.

It's the money velocity that has collapsed ... and is still in vicious downtrend. Monetising the debt directly is a futile attempt to boost money velocity by the wizards of fiat.

The two biggest stories of the week from the elite are that USA (White House) is considering bombing both sides in a far off war ... (suspected insanity) and that the CFR suggests to print money directly into householder accounts aka helicopter money drop (patently insane).

History will look back askance on these times with pity.
