The #resource sector is full of bullshit low grade and otherwise uneconomical projects promoted by charlatans seeking to raise capital to pay their salaries and grant themselves options which they monetize constantly
They say 1 in 10,000 deposits become a mine. The best results will be from following management teams with experience and a current plan to advance an asset and sell it to a major.
10+ years at Sprott. Iโ€™ve seen what happens when some have too much capital and can no longer be selective. The firm often invested in things I personally deemed pieces of shit

Important lessons from "The Psychology of Money" by Morgan Housel

I have read this book so many times and will post my favorite quotes here โ€ฆ do read the book #thepsychologyofmoney
"The best way to think about money is to think about it as a tool for creating options."

When we have financial security, we have more choices and opportunities in life.
"The most important thing about #money is how you think about it."

Money is just a tool, but it can have a powerful influence on our thoughts and actions.

So why do I think #Scrypto will ultimately take over the #rustlang #smartcontract race? Here are my thoughts ๐Ÿงต
1. Non Fungible and Fungible resources are known first hand by the engine and #scrypto. This is HUGE. You dont need to design behaviors of mint, burn, transfer. They are NOT contracts. These are RESOURCES. This is TRUE native asset first #smartcontract
2. Authorization is built in as a concept and comes in 2 forms. These are simply Fungible/Non Fungible resources. These resources can be used as a form of authorization. In #scrypto, we call them a Proof. Why do we need them? Direct mapping of address => some data is UNSAFE

Imagine a near future in which the fictional University of #Leonia announces a degree program in #DiscardStudies. In doing so, they help to establish this emerging field with a full #curriculum, dedicated faculty, and eager student population. 1/10 @DiscardStudies | #Discard2020 Image
At U of L, teaching discard studies is about more than talking #trash. This new programโ€™s core trains students to use #SystemsThinking to critique #power as the structural force that renders material, people, and land as #waste in a globalized #ColonialCapitalist society. 2/10 Image
Treating objects and organisms as "#disposable" has consequences, but the root of this #WickedProblem runs deep below the surface. Traditional disciplines are insufficient for studying waste bc they focus on the details and fail to recognize the full picture (Brown, 2010). 3/10

Previously, I linked #BuildBackBetter & the #GreatReset to the #MauriceStrong network (mid-1970s but kicking off with the 1992 UN #EarthSummit in Rio). I also linked Strong to the #Rockefeller clan. We may have to go a bit further back in time.

Thread ๐Ÿ‘‡
In 1972, The #ClubofRome published its '#LimitsToGrowth', using simulations to describe the impact of resource depletion on #economic growth. The Club was founded in 1968 by David #Rockefeller, the industrialist Aurelio Peccei & Alexander King.
Its computer-generated models of #doom were designed to impress but were based on simplistic ideas & dubious assumptions. The report, nonetheless, remains influential & illustrates the #Rockefeller obsession with population growth & #resource control

Worth using google translate to watch the #propagandalive as @Erkanomia is in #Moscow to cover the #Kremlin #Military parade #HappeningNow. Some ++good #OSINT & #IMINT in his #live & candid coverage. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
For example, while the #Moscow #Elite typically use a black #SUV with license plate ending in 88 (sometimes 888 for family of senior officials & oligarchs who must #Drive themselves), here we see the first of the latest #cars with new #licenseplatedata.

#Storytelling.

Tonight I'm going to share highlights from the 2010 "Scenarios for the Future of Technology & Int'l Development" report produced by The Rockefeller Foundation & Global Business Network. Not just the "Lock Step" scenario, but all 4 scenarios. [54 page report]
Following Event 201 (Oct 18 2019), we must concede that the ruling class has been gifted with phenomenal and prophetic intuitions & insights. (They truly are the chosen ones.) Thus it is worthwhile, even mandatory, to study their scenario exercises & simulations.
"We believe that scenario planning has great potential for use in philanthropy to identify unique interventions... scenario planning allows us to achieve impact more effectively." [p 4]

This is the anticline at the #MooseRiver #gold mine. It was formed by the collision of #NorthAmerica and #NorthAfrica 325 million years ago. Layers of horizontal sedimentary rock were crumpled into #anticlines (domes) and #synclines (troughs) - a series of rock waves.
#nspoli #NS ImageImageImage
The #Anticline hosts the Touquoy #gold deposit. Its domes trapped melted, gold-containing rock as it rose from deep in #earth's crust. It flowed into fractures in the rock, creating quartz veins with gold. There are also tiny disseminated particles of gold throughout.
#nspoli #NS ImageImage
The #MooseRiver #gold mine is the first in a series of proposed gold #mines along the #EasternShore. About 300 people work there and the other mines would create 100s more jobs for #NovaScotians.
#Mining employs 5500 in #NS and is the highest-paying #resource industry.

FACTS ABOUT GOLD AND THE ENVIRONMENT
#Gold #mining is bringing 100s of millions of $ in investment to #NovaScotia and creating 100s of jobs for #NovaScotians.
Modern mining is a sophisticated science-based activity that takes proper care of the enviro.
#nspoli Image
@Guysboro #Reclamation - Before getting operating permits, #NovaScotia #mining companies must get government approval of reclamation plans and post reclamation bonds that ensure funds are available to properly take care of sites.
#nspoli #NS #minerals #geology Image
@Guysboro Water Management: Mine operators are required to treat, strictly monitor and test water, and report to @nsgov. Water is usually recycled on-site. Water released back into a river or lake is usually cleaner after it has been used in a mine or quarry than it was beforehand.
