  1. Catherine, I appreciated your frustrated tone on Ask Catherine this week, in response to the lack of coherence and integration by subscribers, evidenced by their accusations and projections regarding content….i.e. where they are repeatedly just not “groking” it. Your past patience and willingness to gracious repeat and repeat critical teaching points has inspired me to have more patience, but have to say I am relieved to hear you call out their lack of comprehension. Tough compassion is sustainable..:))

    I also wanted to comment on Carolyn’s comments re JD Vance and Rolling Stone’s article about his connections to AmplifyBio, a bio-tech who is involved in animal research. I looked up the website and they do have a staffed vivarium and may indeed be involved in cruelty to animals in their research. My thoughts about Vance is that anyone who has the childhood violence indicated in his biography and movie, can have a “psychic split” and complex PTSD that allows them to tolerate violence against others, even if subconscious. This may be another example of incoherence and in-congruence on an individual and collective level from unhealed trauma that causes the widespread lack of integration on a cultural level that Catherine addressed.
    This “inner work toward coherence and integration” is for all of us to seek, to have the courage to press the “red button” and to require in our leaders actions.

  2. As far as moving money between the US and Europe. Revolute works, I have this as a US citizen it is a backup – a bit slow and I think there are transaction limits.

    However, if you have a US business entity such as a C Corp, LLC etc., most banks including smaller local bank have options for setting up a business FX account. This generally avoids all the wire fees and get you some of the best rates. The key here is that you need the business entity and associated accounts. Corporations have far more freedom and rights to move money than people do.

  3. Hi Catherine,
    There was a video that I didn’t have the opportunity to watch by Edward Dowd and Michelle Makori. It was taken down or there is a problem with the link. The video was explained to me but I didn’t understand gold tokens. I haven’t heard you speak of them. Gold tokens sound like digital garbage to me. But I struggle to understand and gain financial literacy. The video was addressing the collapse of the banks and predicting by this spring the banks will not be able to lend. The federal reserve will dictate who will be able to lend, etc. The banks have supposedly began limiting the amount of money that can be withdrawn and there was an emphasis on securing your financial position by securing your assets with gold tokens. My sister sent me this information and I feel like these so called gold tokens are a scam. Am I correct? I am a fan of physical gold and I hear you speak of gold IRA’s as a safer options in some ways. What are gold tokens? I am so thankful for your willingness to share your knowledge! God bless you!

    1. Good to have gold and silver. I would avoid token systems. Good to have the real thing.

  4. I love listening to Catherine and Carolyn talking about anything—-it’s warm, wise, instructive and fun. I like it when they digress, Catherine telling about how the Russians tried to lure her away, and Carolyn talking about her father being an Episcopal minister. All the while I’m listening I’m making dinner, folding laundry, or mending something, smiling, shaking my head sadly, learning something, or just feeling good in their company.

  5. Hi Catherine, Please disregard my last message about gold tokens. I just heard you discuss QFS and that the powers that be would love for people to put their money into it. You said it’s dark and there is no information on this. I believe that is where the so called gold tokens must be. I believe they are using fear and panic to market these. Im so glad that I listen to you and I can prevent my family from falling prey to these scams. I was able to respond to my sister who was indeed feeling panicked about what is going on with the banks. Thanks again. You are a blessing!

  6. Dear Catherine
    I just watched your interview with Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin
    My apologies for what may well be a stupid or even lazy question. Anything to do with finance raises so much anxiety in me that my brain ceases to function. I try to fight against it but I often draw the wrong conclusions as a consequence. Listening to the interview I understood stable coins bad but what about bitcoin? You used to be suspicious of bitcoin from what I remember. What is your opinion about buying bitcoin now?

    1. It is a speculative asset in a dark market that is essentially a covert operation. Political forces can control or take it to a price of zero at any time. That said, I believe it is a pump, so the price is likely to go higher when the pump is on. There is nothing behind it. It has no backing of a sovereign government, a military or a commodity. The transactions are slow and it is an energy hog. So it depends on the market to value and use. It has gathered a community of users around it, many of who are enthusiastic and – in my personal experiencee – highly likable. If you purchase and hold you have to do so in accordance with managing a speculative position that has a volatile price. My personal approach is to stick with investing in enterprises, real assets and people. Trying to manage speculative positions is a distraction for me.
