If I have been able to go far in 2014, creating MILA SOLIDUS LIMITED, HK, becoming a HRD Antwerp Certified Diamond Grader, climbed a mountain, visiting  5 countries (Canada, Russia, Belgium, Netherlands, Monaco)...

 

It s because of the outstanding Sidestix crutches .... ( www.sidestix.com )

A "BIO" MONETARY SYSTEM !!!!!!

Among animals, we can find analogies with human behaviors in sociology, politic, conflict, love, food ..... but no analogy about money !!!

 

We must linked money with the share of the resources in a human community .... In the first human communities thousands years ago, each person worked, at a different level, for others and for the community ...

 

Since the invention of money, each person work .... TO WIN MONEY !!! because money, as physical gold or shares,  is freedom .... So people are acting like slaves.

 

A BIO monetary system can t be based on the value of a currency, but on the ability of this currency to create exchanges and positive interactions between economical partners.

"COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM" - The diamond standard

To protect their savings, russian people are currently spending their money ..... They buy high tech products. In front of a global Financial system out of control , Buying tangible assets is the best idea .... but there are only "temporary" high tech products, Gold, diamonds or Real Estate are universal .

 

2015 should be terrific for the economy in the World ....... If the Gold standard was based on the Weight, a Diamond standard would be based on SCARCITY. It s especially true for colored diamonds.

In the Hermitage Museum

I was truly happy to visit the famous international museum in St Petersburg, Russia on December 24 ...

""COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM"" - The reserve of value

Currently, all the financial system is a house of cards ... not backed by tangible assets !!!!!! Fake gold, synthetic or treated stones... NOTHING IS GUARANTEE WITHOUT THE VIEW OF A HONEST EXPERT. 

We will see before the end of this decade a massive physical shortage on Gold and Silver ... It s the reason i think precious stones can have a position to take as a monetary asset .... 

A reserve of value is not a currency ... A currency is a medium of exchange, not the reserve of value.

""COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEMS" - THE D DAY

Today, I officially launch the project named ""COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM" ... It will be run by my own company MILA SOLIDUS LIMITED, HK.

My name is Michael J.P. Laurent .... Since last august, i am a HRD ANTWERP CERTIFIED DIAMOND GRADER (also a jewelry designer). I have followed another training in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald . I  have published my master in historical geography, completed an ICS 300 Training at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (i dream to complete the ICS 400) ... i wanted a career in emergency management but because of my leg amputation, i could not be involved in an Hazmat or Search &rescue squad... So, i decided to focus my research work on the Great financial crisis we live currently .... because i am also an avid numismatist for 25 years. The picture below show you i love history .... 

The concept of "OUTSOURCED RESOURCES BANKING" i developed on this research blog is based on two main ideas : 

- Money is not a value or a debt. Money has been created 2600 years ago to be a GUARANTEE ... So , many currencies can be used in the same place.

- The private banks can create the money supply, but it was a true mistake to let them create the public currencies.

Worldwide, the leverage in the banking industry is far too massive. There is a massive threat of liquidity crunch in 2015 ... Even in the diamond industry ... especially after the end of the famous ANTWERP DIAMOND BANK. Even the monetary base has increased recently without limits ... 

The business of precious stones, it s the right stone for the right client at the right time !!!!! Diamonds is one of the most massive investment ..   we need cash!! But what is cash ?? 

CASH = TRUE ASSETS ..... Cash becomes rare because of the unlimited debt creation in the financial system. 

I was surprised in Antwerp to see sometimes 30% of public  discount on diamonds ... It s a bit like to see 30 % discount on a real estate property.

The Rapaport index is clearly an incomplete tool, but it shows well ALL the physical diamobds have a large intrinsic value, even if they don t find clients.

We could see in 2015 a massive financial destruction because most of the money supply is created out of nothing .... The financial institutions has a too massive leverage ... They need true assets and it s the reason of austerity in the western world.

Traditional clients in the diamond industry are wealthy people, or just married people ... I BELIEVE BANKERS COULD REPRESENT ANOTHER KIND OF CLIENTS FOR PHYSICAL DIAMONDS ...

My idea is simple : 

- The banks need true assets ... The derivatives market can collapse any day ... 

- The diamond industry has many unsold stones ..  because wealthy clients become rare .... especially in the West.

INSTEAD TO PROVIDE CREDITS, THE BANKS COULD PROVIDE CASH IN EXCHANGE OF PHYSICAL DIAMONDS... CREATING CASH IS EASY, IF THERE IS A TRUE ASSET ON THE OTHER SIDE.

The price of physical diamonds will rise in the upcoming years, because if the massive demand in India, china and Usa.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN TVE WONDERFUL BUSINESS ... ON THE MARKET THAT BANKS SHOULD REPRESENT IN THE FUTURE.

Colored diamants, it s different than white diamonds because they are extremely scarce ... Remember the 9.75 ct blue diamind, purchased recently for $ 32 millions !!!!

In the Yap island, large stones has been used as a currency ... This system has been efficient, because people where focused on what they could get, not on the price .... Speculation could not exist in the system .... I THINK PRECIOUS COLORED STONES CAN BE USED ON THE SAME WAY.... INSTEAD TO SELL THEM AND SPECULATE, A DEALER COULD LEND THEM AS A GUARANTEE TO SECURE AN EXCHANGE BETWEDN TWO OTHER PARTS ... AND RECEIVE A BENEFIT ON IT ... Economy , it s positive exchanges and useful interactions ... and diamonds dealers have a knowledge on the most precious and rare asset. i don t trust the future of the USD or the Euro ... The debt in USA is too massive and the Greece us now back in rhe middle age because of the EURO ... 

So, i offer the availability of the colored diamonds below (in a safe in my bank ) ... TO SECURE EXCHANGES IN NEED OF LIQUIDY ..., like a stone currency on the Yap island, hundreds years ago.

I LOVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY IN ANTWERP, BELGIUM. I MET WONDERFUL AND SUCCESSFULL PEOPLE .... I LEARNT A LOT .... BUT , WE LIVE AN HISTORIC PERIOD OF INSTABILITY IN ECONOMY .. I AM UNABLE TO COMPETE IN SKILLS AND MONEY WITH JEWISH, INDIAN OR CHINESE DIAMOND DEALERS ... SO, my wish to enter during a life time in the business is to provide the good methodoligies to cope with the future challenges in the industry .... Without my leg amputation because of a cancer, i would be an emergency manager.... 

2015 - a world out of cash

I am really pessimistic for 2015 .... Each part of the world must cope with major challenges ....

Cash is precious because cash represents the true financial liquidity .... However, the recent problems with the russian ruble invite us to consider the need of a new monetary system, probably with a gold backed yuan.

Cash is a very small part of the money supply .... We will cope with both inflation and deflation ..... no more cash available (deflation) .. and nevrotic speculation (inflation).

From the lambda citizen to the biggest compagnies in rhe world .... The cash is THE KEY FACTOR.

How to cope with the need of liquidity , without money printing??

ALROSA can save the russian ruble !!!!!

The russian ruble is collapsing .... The fall of the price of oil is a main element. But low prices for oil will continue ... only because tHere is no more growth in the world.

ALROSA is the main russian producer of diamonds .... With the company DE BEERS, they represent more than 60% of the physical supply of gem quality diamonds in the world. ALROSA will provide india in.rough diamonds .... 

THE DIAMOND COULD BE THE NEXT OIL FOR RUSSIA .... THIS STONE IS THE BEST RESERVE OF VALUE.... AND ALROSA AND DE BEERS CAN ASK THE PRICE THEY WANT .... IT COULD BE THE BEST WAY FOR RUSSIA TO GET FOREIGN CASH .... 

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - How it works ???

The Western Diamond Industry should cope with a lending problem, especially with the end of the famous ANTWERP DIAMOND BANK. An antique monetary system should help us to get a way in front of this challenge :  THE RAI STONES ON THE YAP ISLAND.

These very large stones were used as TOKENS. They did not need to move because the oral tradition kept the informations about the owners ....

Can a colored diamond becomes a token ?? YES FOR SURE. Fancy colored diamonds represent less than 2% of the physical supply of gem quality diamonds, they are very scarce and a strong guarantee. In aunctions, several of them has been recently purchased for very high prices. 

The diamond industry is a personalized business : The right stone for the right client. Buying a diamond is a huge investment. Dealers can t keep unuseful reserves of stones ... They need financial liquidity. 

So, a quantity of rough or polished diamonds can stay of the side, only because they don t find clients .. 

The European Banking System, in big trouble, will be unable to be a positive support for this industry .... The East seems to become the future of the diamond industry.

THE CENTRAL CONCEPT IS SIMPLE : 

-The western financial system will be unable to follow the needs of liquidity in the diamond industry.

- Natural Fancy color diamonds are very scarce and can act as TOKENS ... Polished diamonds dealers and rough diamonds dealers don t have the same job. NATURAL FANCY COLOR DIAMONDS CAN BE TOKENS BETWEEN THEM... 

EVERYBODY IN THIS INDUSTRY IS LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT STONES NEEDED ... THE LENDER OF FANCY COLORED STONES COULD ALSO BE PAID IN CASH OR IN STONES.

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - Pictures

Natural colored diamonds are the rarest stones on Earth..... The pictures above are a part of my own reserve to sell.

My courses in the HRD Antwerp ...

Since last summer, i am a HRD certified diamond grader .... The last week, i completed a HRD  training about ruby, sapphire and emerald.

IT S A GREAT CHANCE TO STUDY IN THE LABORATORY .....

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - the liquidity crunch ....

First of all, i must say i was happy this week to study in the HRD Antwerp .... It s a wonderful Institute of Gemmology !!

Currently, 25% of the diamonds buyers worldwide are chinese ...., there are many indian businesses in Antwerp and Russia holds large reserves of rough diamonds .... This industry clearly is going to East. The cheapest diamond cutters are already in India. The European banking system is in trouble and the end of the famous Antwerp Diamond Bank is a bad sign .... 

Chinese, indian or russian banks won t cope with a liquidity crunch ......Therefore, european banks can t play the same game !!!!

Colored diamonds are truly rare gems .... for chinese, indian, russian , american or european sellers .... Nobody has a real advantage on this particular market !!!!

To cope with the liquidity crunch, european business should sell less but better .... many companies will disappear !!! Physical  Diamonds in reserves  can be wonderful collaterals .... 

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - Liquidity and Trading

Most of the diamond dealers don t keep a ""reserve of stones" ..... They need massive liquidity in a short period of time  because the diamonds can be often a huge investment .... 

The Antwerp Diamond Bank will close and the fear of a liquidity crunch is important currently ... in the business.

Without cash, no trading..... So, it s important to keep the liquidity alive in the diamond industry !!!!!!

Colored diamonds, the rarest among the rarest stones .... are the Key element !!!

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - Is diamond money ???

A diamond is a reserve of value and also can be used as a medium of exchanges in some situations ... is diamond divisible ??? Yes... a polished diamond can have different weights.

So, the diamond have several necessary qualities to be a good monetary asset.

But defining its true worth is a true challenge ....

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - THE CONCEPT

The future of the diamond industry must be related with the worldwide reform.of the monetary system in a near future ....

Diamonds will remain a good investment, because of their qualities as reserve of value... Colored natural diamonds, because of their extreme scarcity, are the best investment in the precious stones... 

Even for an expert, it s not easy to give a  Gem quality diamond a value ... It s the main reason that banks and financial institutions don t invest in physical diamonds.

The world financial system is out of control, euro or dollar collapse are realistic options for 2015, like a stock market crash ... We will see a run for tangible assets !!!!!! There is not enough physical gold or silver, so diamonds should a a good alternative ... From my part, that is the future of the diamond industry.... 

But, the financial world is unfamiliar with diamonds .... How to create liquidity ftom diamonds ??? "Liquidity" is the key word nowadays on the economic field ..... 

COLORED DIAMONDS CURRENCY SYSTEM - INTRODUCTION

Recently, the introduction of negative interest rates on deposits shows us we truly need more COMMON SENSE .. in the financial system. The expression "financial assets" is not true because the assets in the financial world are only ... DEBTS. The Euro could collapse in 2015 because the french unability to reach effectiveness and reforms ... The USD is not in good shape, the yen is sinking .... The fiat currencies are not in a good momentum .... The european banks are also in bad conditions with a massive leverage ... The collapse of the oil price shows the productivity in the world becomes slow .... NO GROWTH, NO RECOVERY, ALWAYS MORE DEBTS

Physical Gold and Silver shortage is a realistic option in a near future. CAN PRECIOUS STONES BECOME A MONETARY ASSET ?

Wealthy people buy polishing diamonds as an investment, using the very incomplete Rapaport index .... but why the banks don t buy a tangible thing like diamonds ?? Because giving a correct value for a precious stone need a skilled expert and a diamond is not easy to exchange, like a gold coin.

The business model for the diamond industry is in trouble .... without a long term vision. This industry can t develop a sustainable business model without include ... the FUTUR REFORM OF THE MONETARY SYSTEM THIS DECADE.

I believe the futur of the diamond industry in closely related with the massive needs of tangible assets ..... to cope with the massive bubble of money supply.

Because the diamonds could be bought by banks or others financial institutions in short terms, it s important to understand how a stone can be used in a monetary system .... 

The famous exemple of the Rai Stones in the Island of Yap offers us the main concept : The most important in a transaction is a common positive result, not the tool used to get it ...

Therefore, to invite Banks and financial institutions to invest in.diamonds, to look for gem assets, it s important to make the diamonds ... as LIQUID as possible. Colored natural diamonds are the best way to begin this process, because of their great scarcity.

Instead to sign a loan in a diamond bank, to buy a stone to sell quickly , and be focused on wealthy individual  clients.... I suggest the diamonds traders to consider the banks and the financial institutions as futur corporate clients .... in need of tangible assets with a price increasing regularly.

The most expensive asset in the world ...

This is the colored diamond .... WHY ?? Because the extreme scarcity of beautiful colored diamonds ... Remember 1 carat is 0.2 gram and read the articles below.

http://www.fancycolordiamond.net/diamond_buyers_guide/

Physical Gold and Silver /Real Estate / Diamonds

These 3 categories are the best reserve of value in the World !!!!! However, if analyse precious metal or real estate is not difficult, the diamonds represent a far more complex reserve of value .... NO CLEAR PRICE (the Rapaport Index is not enough) and a TRUE TRAINING Is needed to confirm the authenticity of a stone .... 

It s the reason, diamonds and particularly colored diamonds can represent an interesting option to back an alternative monetary system ...

Prices of precious metal and of real estate can be  included in a positive or negative "false" momentum ... and there is not ""paper diamond" , like there is "paper gold".

Who win money nowadays ??

1) BANKERS ... because they create the currency ... So, it helps STOCKS OWNERS.

2) PEOPLE WHO OWN TANGIBLE ASSETS because they can sell them, rent them ou use them.

Gold shortage ahead (see article)

Very interesting article ..... but what will happen on the markets if China in an official speech indicate having 16000 tons of physical gold ???
