Luigi1 Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Here's an article of GCR interests... Why the entire world needs this GCR right now! Commercial Real Estate (CRE) rental office vacancies are at the tipping point. Get ready for a Silicon Valley bank melt-down Part ll. As business goes...so do the jobs. This is not just a US problem but is a global problem. Treat as a rumor. Not verified . Your opine. Steven Van Metre: Billion-Dollar CRE Meltdown Ignites Banking Panic, Major Cities Face Total Collapse. ARTICLE: A brewing storm in the commercial real estate (CRE) sector is sending ripple effects through the financial world, raising concerns about a potential banking panic & even a broader global financial crisis. At the heart of this unfolding crisis is a dramatic devaluation of prime properties, exemplified by a major Denver office tower. The Wells Fargo Center, a prominent office tower in Denver, has seen its value plummet by an astonishing 76% since 2019. This precipitous decline has already triggered significant losses for investors holding Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) tied to the property, even impacting high-rated tranches previously considered low-risk. The real concern, however, lies with small & midsize regional banks, which are heavily exposed to CRE debt. These institutions hold substantial amounts of such loans on their balance sheets, making them acutely vulnerable to the cascading losses. Experts fear that this exposure could ignite a liquidity crisis, eerily reminiscent of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, as properties continue to be reappraised at vastly lower values. The fundamental cause of this crisis is the profound shift in work habits brought on by the pandemic. The widespread adoption of remote & hybrid work models has drastically reduced the demand for traditional office spaces, particularly older buildings. This structural change has led to a surge in delinquency rates & defaults across the CRE sector, a trend expected to accelerate as more properties face reappraisals, wiping out investor equity & forcing banks to absorb unforeseen losses. This isn’t just a U.S. problem. Similar patterns of economic contraction & insolvency are emerging in major economies like Germany & China, further exacerbating global financial instability. Complicating matters, central banks, including the Federal Reserve, appear to be grappling with the limitations of traditional monetary policies. Rate cuts or other tweaks are unlikely to reverse the fundamental decline in CRE demand or address deeper issues in industrial production. Figures like Jerome Powell & Janet Yellen are perceived by some as potentially “behind the curve” in anticipating & managing the full fallout. For investors, the evolving situation demands vigilance. Widespread exposure to CRE debt across various portfolios could lead to significant losses. However, amid this turbulence, innovative opportunities are emerging. One such example highlighted is Upexi, a company building a crypto treasury around the Solana blockchain. Upexi’s stock has reportedly doubled since its last feature, positioning itself as an intriguing option for those seeking to bridge traditional finance & cryptocurrency exposure, potentially offering alternative growth avenues away from traditional market vulnerabilities. The unfolding crisis in commercial real estate poses a formidable challenge to the global financial system. As further CRE defaults & revaluations occur, the implications for banking stability, investor portfolios & the broader economy will be profound. Close monitoring of this evolving situation is paramount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted August 8 Author Report Share Posted August 8 Here's an article related to the above... FYI: A Brief History Of The FIAT Currency, The Central Banks & The Rothchild's Control Of The Global Central Banks & Currencies... Miles Harris: Not 1971. It Was 1604. The Birth Of Fiat Currency. ARTICLE: Forget what you think you know about the most significant shifts in the history of money. Popular narratives often point to the dramatic severing of the Dollar from gold by Nixon in 1971, the rise of powerful central banks, or the recent advent of digital currencies. While these moments are undoubtedly pivotal, they may well be downstream effects of a foundational change that occurred centuries earlier, far from the bustling financial centers, in a quiet courtroom in Ireland. In 1604, A Little-Known Legal Case Posed A Question That Resonates Profoundly Even Today: -What gives money its value? -The answer, delivered without fanfare or grand pronouncements, would quietly expand royal control & fundamentally alter the very structure of monetary power across the realm, laying an invisible bedrock for the financial systems we inhabit today. This was no English common law ruling designed for immediate colonial subjugation; its setting in Ireland was crucial. It served as a potent demonstration of the Crown’s burgeoning ability to extend its legal authority & administrative reach across its diverse territories. The case wasn’t about a new tax or a land dispute; it was about the very nature of coinage & the authority to define its worth. The verdict, though unheralded at the time, was a calculated move to centralize power, giving the sovereign an unprecedented degree of control over the economy. The brilliance – & the subtle menace – of this 1604 decision lay in its quiet executionn. There were no headlines screaming revolution. No royal proclamations heralding a new era. Instead, it was a legal precedent, a ruling passed down in a courtroom, that began to redefine economic reality. It shifted the locus of monetary value from an intrinsic quality (like the weight of precious metal) to a declaration of authority. The Crown was asserting its right not just to mint coins, but to assign their value, even if that value diverged from their metallic content. This subtle, yet seismic, shift had profound, long-term implications. It began to decouple money’s value from its material composition, paving the way for the eventual concept of fiat currency – money whose value is derived from government decree rather than a physical commodity. The principle that a government’s stamp, its legal tender status, could effectively determine a currency’s worth overrode the simple equation of gold or silver content. To truly understand how money functions today, how its value is created, controlled & manipulated, we must look beyond the well-trodden paths of 20th & 21st-century finance. The threads of our modern monetary system stretch back an astonishing four centuries, to a seemingly obscure legal skirmish in Ireland. It was here, in 1604, that the Crown quietly planted the seeds of a new monetary paradigm, a paradigm where legal authority, rather than market forces or metallic content alone, became the ultimate arbiter of value. For further insights into this fascinating and overlooked chapter in monetary history & to uncover the detailed mechanics of this pivotal legal case, explore the full video from Miles Harris. It’s a journey that rewrites our understanding of when and how one of history’s most important economic transformations truly began.
