The Twin Spiral USD And EUR Collapse / Currencies / Euro
BYE-BYE THE EURO, HELLO THE DOLLAR
The basic problem of the Eurozone-17 nation group using the euro dates from long before the euro's
creation and its proven unworkability was well known in advance. There is no excuse for this. From the
often crisis-wracked EMU system (European Monetary Union) starting with the 1980s Ecu system and
becoming the EMU in 1992, the creation of the ECB central bank from the central banks of Eurozone
member countries, closely linked with non-members like the UK, only intensified political playacting
and meddling in the economy. The excuse for this was supposedly to foster federal-type political
integration of the European Union and achieve the goals of mostly forgotten treaties (except to
Eurocrats) such as the coal and steel community and Euratom.

Hyperinflation Lesson From Starving Billionaires / Currencies / Fiat Currency
As you may all ready know today, for the first era in human history, all currencies of the world are fiat currencies. This means every paper and digital currency around the world derives it's value by mere decree and or force.
Only gold and silver are money, they cannot go bankrupt. For bullion, default is not an option. Silver and gold need no coercion nor decree, they have been and always will be money.

If the U.S. Dollar Collapses, What Happens to Your Portfolio? / Currencies / US Dollar
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: Have you considered what will happen to your portfolio - and all the other areas of your life - if the dollar fails? The ramifications will be widespread, painful, and inescapable if you're not properly diversified.
Last month, I attended the Global Currency Expo sponsored by EverBank. The overarching theme, as you might expect, was that diversification out of one's home currency is paramount. While there were plenty of traders on hand, it was the big-picture talks that had the most pressing messages.

Is the Euro Safer than the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
Which one is safer: the euro or the U.S. dollar? Before jumping to a conclusion one way or the other, let's look at different sides of the respective coins. We have been warning for years that there may be no such thing anymore as a safe asset and investors may want to take a diversified approach to something as mundane as cash. We believe Greece has rather serious issues, but concerned investors may want to take a closer look at their dollar holdings for potential “contagion” risks. Let us explain…

David Zeiler writes: Chances are, you've never before heard of Bitcoins.
So here's a quick primer: Imagine a type of money that you can't put in your pocket, that you can trade like a stock, that you can earn with your computer, that enables anonymous transactions, and most importantly, has skyrocketed in value 399,900% in the past year.

How Do You Kill the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
That's the question that was on everyone's mind last week. The smallest indication of Dollar strength caused a Global equity meltdown. As Stock World Weekly has been pointing out all year, and as evidenced by this 2-year chart of the Dow relative to UUP (Dollar index), essentially our entire 40% rally since last summer was at least augmented by QE2's 20% weakening of Dollar buying power.Read full article...

Facing the Currency Black Market / Currencies / Fiat Currency
Lonerangersilver writes: In 1980, I was on a three day visit and my first to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I was representing an American fast food chain looking to expand in the Latin Market. I was there to interview a potential franchisee and I was joined by a Food Engineer to evaluate the market for food suppliers, quality of ingredients, prices, marketing, legal work on the brands, real estate, etc. Of special interest was the candidate’s legal and financial standing and his reputation in the business community. I had Interviews with his lawyers, banks, references, etc. We had to do a lot of work in a short time.

US Dollar Death Spiral, Economy Hurtles Toward System Failure / Currencies / US Dollar
The combination of $trillion bond fraud, dependence on inflating home equity for economic development, oversized cars, oil dependence, constant market intervention, insolvent banks, insolvent homes, outsourced industry, endless war, budget deadlock amidst runaway deficits, raided US gold treasury, mammoth future benefit obligations, and handing over the keys at USDept Treasury to Goldman Sachs has left the United States to fend off systemic failure. The creeping price inflation that stems from USFed hyper monetary inflation and total ignorance on basics of capitalism like business formation have left the US vulnerable to disorder and chaos. The chaos in fact grows with the passage of time and the ruin of money, against a background of a cruel middle class squeeze. With one citizen in seven on food stamps and over 22% of the population jobless, the sunset of the American Empire is well along. The banker oligarchs are gradually killing the nation, its democracy, and its wealth engines during a sustained strangulation process.

U.S. Dollar Unable to Strengthen / Currencies / US Dollar
The Dollar’s recent rally appears over, or is it?
Until the start of May the Dollar had been under relentless selling pressure that drove it to within a whisker of 1.50 against the Euro. Then suddenly it corrected, very vigorously. The catalyst was a mix of events, but the Portuguese debt crisis was at the centre of the drama weakening the Euro.

Washington Killing U.S. Dollar's No1 World Currency Status / Currencies / US Dollar
SO the YIELD offered by 10-year US Treasury bonds just fell through 3.0%, a five-decade low when reached (and then breached on the way down to 2.0%) in 2009.
More telling, the real 10-year yield – the rate of interest paid to new buyers after you account for inflation – just slipped back below zero, even on the official CPI measure of living costs.

What Comes After the U.S. Dollar's Demise / Currencies / Fiat Currency
THE DOLLAR'S TERRIBLE FATE
My readers are familiar with my forecast that the US dollar is in terminal decline. America is tragically bankrupt, unable to pay its lenders without printing the dollars to do so, and enmeshed in an economic depression. The clock is ticking until the dollar faces a crisis of confidence like every other bubble before it. The key difference between this collapse and, say, the bursting of the housing bubble is that the US dollar is the backbone of the global economy. Its conflagration will leave a vacuum that needs to be filled.

Canadian Dollar is No Haven from a US Dollar Collapse / Currencies / Canadian $
We spend a lot of time here at The Dollar Vigilante chastising Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve and preparing our subscribers for a collapse of the US dollar - something which has been paying off very handsomely, with gold and silver at record highs this year - but don't take that to mean that we prefer any other fiat currency. No fiat currency in the western world is any better than the US Dollar. In fact, in every case, they are worse.
