Gold is a Great Buy at these Prices

By Shayne Heffernan2 min read

Gold prices tend to increase during times of massive money printing. This is because gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, and inflation is often a consequence of massive money printing.

When central banks print money, they increase the supply of money in circulation. This can lead to inflation, which is a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Gold is often seen as a way to protect against inflation, because its value tends to go up when the value of money goes down.

In addition, gold is often seen as a safe haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. When investors are uncertain about the future of the economy, they often turn to gold as a way to protect their wealth.

In recent years, there has been a lot of money printing by central banks around the world. This has led to a rise in the price of gold. In 2020, the gold price reached an all-time high of over $2,000 per ounce.

Gold is often seen as a safe haven asset, and its price can go up during times of economic uncertainty. In recent months, there has been a lot of uncertainty in the global economy, and this has led to a rise in the price of gold.

There are a number of factors that could support the gold price in the coming months. These include:

  • Inflation: Inflation is on the rise in many countries around the world. Gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation, as its price tends to go up when the value of fiat currencies goes down.

  • Economic uncertainty: There is a lot of uncertainty in the global economy at the moment. This is due to a number of factors, including the war in Ukraine, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and rising inflation. Investors often turn to gold during times of economic uncertainty, as it is seen as a safe haven asset.

  • Lower interest rates: Interest rates are very low in many countries around the world. This makes gold more attractive to investors, as it offers an alternative to low-yielding assets such as bonds.

Of course, there are also some factors that could weigh on the gold price in the coming months. These include:

  • A temporary stronger US dollar: The US dollar has been strengthening against other currencies in recent months. This could make gold less attractive to investors, as it is priced in US dollars.

  • A rise in real interest rates: If real interest rates rise, this could make gold less attractive to investors, as it does not offer any income.

Overall, there are a number of factors that could support the gold price in the coming months.

NIST

NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.

NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.

The Problem Is Not the Problem

People treat the Jack Sparrow line as a joke. The attribution is a joke. The sentence is not. Forty years in markets says the same thing Epictetus said in 125 CE and Robert Merton named in 1948: the event is finite, and the story you appoint to govern it is not. This essay walks the quote back to its actual sources, draws the loop that turns a feeling into an order, and sets out the four places a rule written in advance cuts the loop. Faith is not a hedge. It is a stance.

What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence

The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.

AI Intelligence Scales. Accountability Does Not. Why KXCO Is Built for It.

Capability is becoming abundant and everything abundant gets cheap. What does not get cheap is the person who has to sign, and they can only carry what they can see. Four conditions follow from that, and four independent authorities reached the first of them last month without knowing it.
