2…………> A  Communist China Suicide: Stock Market Losses?

.

A 33-year-old Chinese worker at the Baotou Steel factory, identified as  Wang Long committed suicide by jumping into a working blast furnace containing molten metals at temperatures as high as 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,700 degrees Fahrenheit), a man who has been working at the factory for 10 years, had suddenly gone missing on 24 March during his night shift.

His mysterious disappearance was soon explained after the company reviewed surveillance footage from that night, after a video showed Wang Long taking off his helmet and gloves, and throwing them into the furnace only to follow them in a few moments.

Baotou Steel alleged in its statement that the worker’s brutal suicide was triggered by the loss of $9,100 on the stock market and the inability to “repay his heavy debts”. It is unclear if Wang Long left a suicide note.

In comparison to many of the world’s major economies, China’s has been enjoying rapid recovery rates, largely to due to a quick lifting of coronavirus lockdown measures. However, the country’s stock market rally has since been impeded by tensions with western governments, including the US, and new rounds of sanctions.

3…………> Bitcoin Digital Assets: Goldman Sachs

.

US multinational investment bank Goldman Sachs could soon offer investment vehicles for Bitcoin and other digital assets, with the digital assets will be offered to clients in the second quarter, according to Mary Rich, global head of digital assets to Goldman Sachs private wealth management division:

″We are working closely with teams across the firm to explore ways to offer thoughtful and appropriate access to the ecosystem for private wealth clients, and that is something we expect to offer in the near-term,” she said in a recent interview.
Goldman plans to offer a “full spectrum” of investment in digital assets, including bitcoin, “whether that’s through the physical bitcoin, derivatives or traditional investment vehicles,” Rich added.

Why is Wall street so intense on pushing bitcoins to the public, hopping to displace gold as the historical store of value? Because it cannot be printed, emailed, and it is controlled by the World Government, unlike gold that is in private hands, that’s why.
