https://www.marketslant.com/article/jim-rickards-says-watch-russias-gold-gdp-ratio Very interesting read. Rickards seems to have done a bit more homework on the potential of crypto since the last time I heard him speak about it.
Rickards is doing a conference in Adelaide soon. $270 entry with food. https://www.theperfectwealthtransferstorm.com/
I would rather spend the $270 on an awesome dinner+wine and bring an ipad to watch Rickards on youtube.
LOL. Each to their own I suppose. You have to ask yourself though "What price knowledge?". You're not going to learn anything from a silver bar. Leo has probably got the right balance though. Assuming all his content goes on free-to-air youtube....? For the record, I don't agree with everything Rickards comes out with. At his core he is still a bit of a pumper, but he knows more than me and I've still learnt a few valuable things from him to make it worth following his commentary.
I read his book Currency Wars many years ago and didn't find it anything special. I've also watched a lot of his videos. He has a really bad habit of repeating his self over and over and over and over.... And like most people, he just says what most of us already know and his timing is always off. So yea i would be much happier spending that $270 on something else.
