I do see potential with silver however. &nbsp;<strong>More importantly, Lithium is a real asset if there ever was one that physically exists within the planet and has tremendous intrinsic value.</strong> &nbsp;The success of Lithium being extracted, optimized, distributed, and sold as part of a final product has absolutely nothing to do with clicks, likes, page views, feelings, pontificating gibberish, manipulated bullshit accounting, or any other nonsense providing some of the so called “economic” foundation for various industries and companies. &nbsp;<strong>Either the world demands and uses Lithium or it does not. &nbsp;Simple enough. </strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Why Lithium? &nbsp;There are plenty of research reports floating around out there for anyone determined to find them that display sexy looking graphs showing how the demand for Lithium is starting to rise substantially above the supply of Lithium. &nbsp;<strong>Prices for Lithium in China are above $20,000/MT which is up very sharply from the $5,000/MT level of a year and a half ago. &nbsp;The bottom line is this: demand for Lithium is growing sharply and in the NEAR TERM there simply is NOT enough Lithium available to meet that demand. &nbsp;Yes, electric cars are part of the “problem” in terms of the supply of Lithium. &nbsp;However, it is the burgeoning demand for off the grid storage of energy that is the real home run opportunity. </strong>&nbsp;No other substance on earth can both provide energy AND store energy. &nbsp;Lithium is the new oil or new gold or both even. &nbsp;There is a huge gap that needs to be filled and it simply is not possible to magically create this Lithium out of thin air (which the Federal Reserve would gladly attempt to do while handing the new lithium straight to the banks that own the Fed if possible) between now and say 2018 when more Lithium supply can come on line. &nbsp;To this point a small group of companies have controlled and continue to control the supply. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/lithiumnevadaad21c.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"957\"/></p>\n<p>My next step was to answer the following question: how can I capitalize on Lithium and how do I do so using instruments denominated in Bitcoin? &nbsp;Well, I can’t find a way to go long Lithium futures or take a stake in anything lithium related denominated in BTC so if anybody can please let me know. &nbsp;There is a Lithium ETF that is an option but not as potentially explosive as perhaps other options. &nbsp;There are some larger companies that have exposure to Lithium but not in a manner that can rock the boat to the point where life changing gains are possible. &nbsp;Based on my analysis and efforts I’m left with gulp, fumbling through the treacherous investing climate of the small and very speculative junior miners. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>During this search it started to really sink in that most of the companies involved were essentially public relations operations that were hyping their stock prices based on announcements and plans to find and extract Lithium. &nbsp;I am not saying many of these companies won’t ultimately be successful and I hope they are, but I find their current promotional activity to be misleading. &nbsp;Many of these “announcements” are about taking some type of joint interest in a piece of land that could have Lithium inside of it. &nbsp;They are still a long ways off from all of the testing required to prove what you have is economically viable not to mention the funds needed to do this and then extract the Lithium.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Enter Pure Energy Minerals. &nbsp;Here is what I wrote in early July of 2016 about the company:&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.seatsforeveryone.com/blog/lithium-bull-market-pure-energy-minerals-substance-hype/\">http://www.seatsforeveryone.com/blog/lithium-bull-market-pure-energy-minerals-substance-hype/</a> &nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>This company has a signed supply agreement with Tesla and is located right next to the highest producing Lithium mine in Nevada.</strong> &nbsp;Why did Tesla sign this agreement so early before they are even producing anything?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In a future post we will dive into the price/volume action in the stock and get caught up on recent events. &nbsp;The company does intend to release its PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) in the third quarter meaning before the end of September. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",

      "body": "Governments and Central Banks really picked up the pace in the war on cash in the last couple of years.  Various former Central Bank and government officials openly declared the need to ban cash to stop “criminals” and “terrorists”.  The ECB (European Central Bank) earlier in 2016 formerly declared that it is literally starting to banish larger denomination bank notes.  All of these actions will only help raise more awareness and acceptance of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.  While attempts to ban cash can only help Bitcoin adoption and awareness, a look at the real reason for the push to ban cash uncovers some alarming truths about the existing financial system.   \n\nCentral Banks are in full blown panic mode.  The real reason why they are trying to ban cash is because there hardly is any physical cash in existence.  This is true when we look at actual currency in circulation (bank notes and coins) relative to aggregate measures of digits in accounts such as money market funds, equities, and bonds.  Analyzing this data also magnifies how transparent Bitcoin is versus the fractional reserve and excessively levered current monetary system. \n\nThe Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System reports on its own website that as of June 1, 2016 there is $1.46 Trillion of currency in circulation (https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12773.htm).  The Fed also states that of this $1.46 Trillion, $1.4 Trillion is denominated in Federal Reserve notes.  A Federal Reserve statistical release published on June 9, 2016 states that as of the end of April of 2016 seasonally adjusted M2 equaled $12.56 Trillion.  M2 is equivalent to M1 plus savings deposits, money market deposits, a portion of small denomination time deposits, and a portion of retail money market mutual fund balances.  M2 is clearly in part an assessment of what any rational participant would consider extremely liquid funds that one in theory could immediately convert to physical cash.  Physical currency only covers less than 12% of what the Fed purports to be the most liquid assets in the current financial system.  \n\nThe size of the equity market in the United States is roughly $20 Trillion and the bond market (corporate, municipal, state, and federal bonds) is pushing $40 Trillion.  M2 plus equities and bonds amounts to almost $75 Trillion, all considered very liquid assets.  Converting them to physical cash is another issue though, and this analysis is still ignoring outstanding derivatives, real estate, precious metals, and many other financial instruments and products.  Unlike when a Bitcoin user opts to send Bitcoin from a wallet to another address, it is entirely possible customers with FRN could face resistance when trying to liquidate accounts particularly when higher quantities are involved.  This is even more critical for the Fed if customers liquidate and demand physical cash.\n\nIf participants in increasing numbers started to demand liquidation of various types of accounts along with the possession of physical cash, the Federal Reserve would have an extremely serious problem.  The Federal Reserve would face a nightmare scenario where the general population started to question why they are being restricted from withdrawing bank notes from their own bank accounts.  It is almost as if an attempt to ban cash is a not so subtle nudge to at least explore the option of exchanging some fiat for Bitcoin.   \n\nHence, the Federal Reserve needs to try and ban cash so nobody has the ability to demand it.  If all accounts denominated in FRN existed only digitally then a run on the system at least would not involve the demand for physical currency.  We have already seen restrictions on the size of ATM withdrawals and other withdrawal requests both across Europe and in the United States along with public trial balloons floated about an outright ban of cash.  The prospect of a very real and literal bank run in Italy surged to the forefront in late June and early July of 2016.  The existence of physical cash and coins is a very real threat to the existence of the Federal Reserve System.  \n\nThis is all very bullish news for Bitcoin of course.  Bitcoin is a way to exit the Federal Reserve System which governs essentially all retail banks in operation in the United States.  Also of note is that given the sustained trade imbalances of the United States and reserve currency status of USD, plenty of this physical currency is located outside the United States.  This makes the potential challenge in demanding physical FRN even more severe in America while also spreading the risk into other nations.\n\nThe Federal Reserve is very aware of Bitcoin and even shifting its stance towards it over the last year, but there is no evading the fact that currency in circulation is merely a tiny fraction of all assets denominated in FRN.  Bitcoin allows owners to have complete control over their own money.  Perhaps none of us know for sure if governments will ultimately succeed in banning cash, but there is no doubt that it is under serious consideration.  The fact that the Federal Reserve needs to even consider this option tells us quite a bit about the health and viability of the existing financial system and the potential of Bitcoin to completely disrupt it.  So little physical cash exists the Central Banks have no option but to banish it and blame it on “terrorists” and “criminals”.",
