Old Style - Gold Style

I'm always a little amused whenever people talk about safes - you know, the kind that you're supposed to keep money in. Well, I mean, the good ones cost such a lot in the first place. You have this money, and then you buy the safe, and the next thing - there's nothing to stick in the damn thing. So you store your cigars and your Napoleon, I guess.

This guy's carrying his Doettling safe around
like a coffee flask! But he's an old fashioned guy - he's
reading the shipping news...

Here I am calling this blog something to do with 'old money' and now all money is about to become an ancient barbarous relic - if we let Draghi have his way! God they seriously want to wreck everything they touch, don't they? How do these fools even get to where they are... Why bother asking such a silly question; the answer is plain. Put it this way, he certainly wasn't ever elected to anything.

Money... What an old fashioned concept!

Let's just all do away with the stuff.

lol.

This is the year, boys and girls. Things are happening this year. Nothing that the Illuminati knows about though.

Illuminati. What a joke.

They couldn't illuminate their way out of a brown paper bag. They can't get past the old fashioned dollars in the way.

Gandini and some of his masterpieces

This is Marcello Gandini. You can see the masterpiece in the middle has already been fucked around with by the Draghi's of the regulatory world. It is no longer the same in this pic as the one in the last post we made here. It is no longer streamlined and it is no longer beautiful; what you see is a vestige.

The secret of money is making it, not hording it. And not endlessly screwing around with it.

NIRP, ZIRP, QE and all of these other schemes are lunatic stuff. They are the fiddling around with, the bolting-on of, and the generally screwing up of, the fundamental concept of what money is. Money is anonymous, divisible, portable, a store of value, liquid. Modern money is none of those things. And you don't want to touch any of the stuff. 

This is Sir Richard Rogers - the man in charge of the Lloyd's
building in London, that place with all the plumbing on the outside.
He's a genius, as were his under-architects, and there was a point
to his 'madness.' Just look at his face... My god, he's like Rutger Hauer
in that monologue in Blade Runner.

Another secret of money is that great money comes from great people.

Great people have this visceral quality you know, it reflects on their faces, or maybe - it affects their physical outside from the power of who and what they are on the inside.
