What Causes Inflation and Why Buy Gold?

What causes inflation and why buy gold? You may well ask. Most of us tend to simply accept rising prices and not to question inflation. The Economists actually say we need inflation because it means the economy in growing and an economy with very low inflation is in trouble.

With the monetary systems as we have today it is true. Inflation is a sign of more money circulating meaning people are buying and if they are buying the goods and services needs to produced and thus there is work.

If an economy slows down the governments pumps money into the economy in the hope that it will cause people to spend. The problem is that psychology also plays a role in people’s spending decisions and more money does not always cause inflation and on the other hand too much money can cause hyperinflation. The human psyche cannot be pinned down by economic theory, thus, inflation as well as deflation sometimes as unintended consequences.

So basically I have answered you question, inflation is caused by more money circulating in the economy. More money chasing the good and services available and thus the prices escalate according to the normal mechanism of supply and demand. Causing inflation, and in bad circumstances hyperinflation

Now you may well ask me what this has to do with gold. Have a look at this graph that shows you how the price of Gold increased in Rand over the years. You will notice it is just up and up all the time. This means that the same amount of gold still has the buying power as 20 years ago. So a very good reason to buy gold for the future (Karatbars makes it easy and affordable) More about Karatbars

Gold is your best hedge against inflation. This graph is for the Rand, but it is the same for almost any denomination. Inflation eats away at your savings

How is money created?

• The government simply prints more money
• Banks create money by the system of multiplying (fractional reserve banking, causing inflation)
• Fiduciary money also created on computers

In the economy there actually exist different kinds of money:

1. Commodity Money
2. Fiat Money
3. Fiduciary Money (not considered legal tender and depends on trust)
4. Commercial Bank Money created by fractional reserve banking

If we have to be really correct Commodity Money is the only real money and Fiat Money is simply paper currency backed by nothing but the word of the government printing it! All of this is of course what causes inflation.

People really need to think about gold. Most people will say immediately that they cannot afford gold. Under normal circumstances that is true, considering the gold price. This is where Karatbars comes in with CashGold. You can buy in really small amounts for the price of a hamburger you can buy 0.1g of gold and slowly build up your Gold Cache, thus everybody’s gold cache! What is more, if you do not want it delivered they will store it for you. Karatbars however, delivers to more than 120 countries by FedEx.

I think what is important here is to realise that this is a slow building up of your gold cahce for a safer future, this is not a gat rich quick scheme, this is conscious saving for the future in a commodity that has been recognized as money from BC.

You will find that most economist agree these days that as a hedge against inflation it is a good idea to save in some gold

Chinese gold rush

Everyone's Gold Cash

Central banks are in a “gold rush” the Chinese one included. Many central banks in the emerging economies are running to the safety of gold and I think there is a lesson for us in it. 

Some of the countries in the Gold Rush are:

• China
• Kazakhstan
• Russia 
• Turkey.

According to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group as quoted by Moneyweb:

"In the current environment, where uncertainty in emerging-market currencies is high, we see good reason for countries like Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and China to continue to diversify their portfolios"

According to Moneyweb this is becoming an important trend in global markets. So I think we should consider it as well. The security of a least a small portion of our portfolio in gold cannot be denied anymore. Fiat money is becoming more and more insecure and we do not know what is going to happen in future.

Have a look at this graph form IMF: PBOC

The problem, of course, is that not many of us can afford to buy huge amounts of gold or invest in gold shares. This is where Karatbars comes in that makes it possible to buy small amount of 24 Karat 999,9 pure gold in small quantities.

Karatbars started with 1g and bigger cards that you could buy and a very good price. This progressed to CashGold where you can buy notes with small amount of real gold in the note with a host of safety features built into the note as well as the bars.

Each Cash gold is protected against counterfeiting with a host of state-of-the-art visible as well as invisible security features.

These CachGold features include:

1. Kinegram®
2. Nanotest (Trustseal®, matte)
3. Color Movement
4. Diffractive Black
5. Dynamic Matte
6. Latent ConTrust
7. Blacklight*
8. DNA*

[All products and technologies described (Except for *) are subject to copyright or industrial property rights owned by OVD Kinegram® and KURZ (as of 2016)

Have a look at all these safety factors

Who is this Karabars International:

• Established in 2011 with headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany with more that 550,000 affiliates worldwide (so no problem buying your gold)
• KaratCoin Bank, fully licensed crypto bank in Miami FL, USA (as witnessed by Bitmart)
• KaratCoin Bank offices in Hong Kong
• KaratPay payment system offices in Singapore
• Customer support in Germany, Dubai, Slovenia and Romania
• Crdit card service support in Mallorca, Spain
• IT offices in Bangladesh and Romania

So truly a worldwide company

The next “gold boom” I want to mention is West Africa. The investment opportunities can be a really boost to the industry, only going to show once again that gold is becoming more and more important.  This can also be witnessed by the renewed interest worldwide in Gold as well as Gold Coins such as Krugerrands and more. So the love goes further than just the Central Banks. Everyone is beginning to see the important of a personal “Gold Cache”

In this unsure financial conditions people are going for safe havens. When everything comes tumbling down gold will be a sure way to still be able to survive. In all the difficult times in history gold was always very important.  Even today in the East people use gold for big transactions because of its constant buying power, making sure their investment does not devaluate during the process of negotiations.

So, I think, look at gold as part of your portfolio.

Complement your Art with some Gold

It is always a good idea to diversify your investments, even your tangible investments such as art, gold, jewelry and more. Art is, of course, not only and investment, you have the joy of owning a fine

piece of art that you can enjoy on a daily basis. Art however is a speculative investment but it is not subject to the same amount of volatility as Shares on the Stock Market. That being said, the value is still a perceived value at the time of sale. If you made wise choices you will reap the reward.

• On the other hand, Gold is not as volatile . 
• The value of Gold stays more or less stable. 

With that I mean that the buying power of Gold stays the same. If you wanted to buy a car with gold in the early 1900’s it would have cost you more or less the same amount of gold per weight as a car of the same class will cost you in Gold, in weight today. For this reason gold is a good hedge against inflation and that makes it a good part of any investment portfolio.

Art on the other had can be very lucrative investment if you plan to sell it at some stage. On the other hand, if there ever is a big money crises, you will probably not be able to sell it for a good price if you may need to urgently, while you will always find people willing to accept Gold. Even today in many countries big transactions are done in gold.

Gold as an Asset

All Economists agree that for a safe future it is best to have a varied portfolio and it is good to include Art as well as Gold if you are an art enthusiast. It is a case of covering your bases with Gold!

Have a look at this Video:


Wealthy people do not like losing money. They also like having ready cash available to invest in assets like property and business, but they also like to have some in Fine Art and Gold. Gold is used as a hedge against inflation and Art to enjoy as well as a speculative asset.

The problem is, not all of us are rich and can afford to buy the lovely Art we love as well as substantial amounts of Gold. This is where Karatbars comes in. It is possible to buy gold through CashGold in small amounts at times that you have a little spare cash. In this way you can build up your Gold Cache over time and when you need it, it will be easy to sell again and you are sure you will not lose any money.

Why invest in Karatbars and CashGold?

Dirty Gold, Not Fake, Slips Into World Markets

For many years fake-branded gold bars has been slipped into the world markets. This has been going on quietly without many even noticing. This is a crises for the world markets as the fraudulently stamped bars are very difficult to detect and can slip through undetected very easily.

Most banks will not comment, but many are finding these fraudulently mark bars in their vaults. Fraudulently stamped bars, stamped with well know Swiss refinery logos has been found in the vaults of JP Morgan Chase & Company according to senior executives of the industry.

It is important to note that these bars are real gold, not fake bars that is blocks of cheaper metal coated in gold that can easily be detected. These kinds of fake gold is known to most of us. These bars are however of a very good quality and hard to detect, even so it is known that at least 1,000 of the fake “kilobars” have been found in recent times. Here we must read carefully! “kilobars” and not “Karatbars” that are highly reputable and very uniquely marked.

When you are buying gold for a better future to make sure it is safe and include Gold from a reputable source.

Have a look at the CashGold Security

You can also have a look at this Video from Harold Seiz



It is unclear where these bars are made. We know that they are made from illegally mined gold.  In South Africa we have the illegal miners called Zama Zamas and they are part of very well organized criminal syndicates. I am sure some of that gold finds its way to the people making these fake stamped gold bars. Countries like Venezuela and North Korea are probably also involved. Once accepted by mainstream gold dealers these gold bars are quickly spread into supply chains all over the world.

These fraudulently stamped “kilobars” is then used in money laundering. Of course the main gold exchanges deny any knowledge of these fake bars. Keep in mind that these bars are in a very handy format making it easy to circulate, different from the 12,5 kilo bars normally stored by central banks. This make it possible for them to be easy distributed throughout the world, where ever the criminals need money to be laundered. So it really is good that with Karatbars and CashGold you can have peace of mind that they are properly protected and marked.

To quote Moneyweb:

For recipients, the pirated bars pose a compliance threat: Anyone who holds such metal – including jewelers, banks and electronics firms – risks inadvertently violating global rules designed to keep metal of unknown or criminal origin out of circulation. The rules aim to staunch gold supplies that fund conflict, terrorism or organised crime, damage the environment or undermine national governments.

 Because the people making these bars do not always have the right testing facilities the purity of these bars are not always up to the common standard of “four nines” as it is known in the industry and may vary to 99.98% or even 99.90%. But with the levels becoming very good indeed are only slightly less pure but it is still hard to tell the difference.

Like Kratbars refineries are implementing new security features and Harold Seiz is on the forefront with features on them that are like the features on normal banknotes making forgeries impossible.
With Karatbars you have complete peace of mind. Insuring your future has never been this easy. Buy a little every month and by the time you retire you will have a nice little “Gold Cache”

Gold Attracting More Buyers

The high gold price and weak rand is making gold more attractive to buyers.  It is not only the

weak rand driving gold, lowering interest rates in the US also plays a role as people are beginning to rethink the USD as a safe haven. I think people are becoming aware of the fact the no Fiat money is really safe and all are subject to inflation.

Have a look at the Rand price for gold over the last five years

It is clear the price has constantly been rising.  This tendency has been going on for as long as gold has been around. The buying power of gold stays the same, so in times of inflation 1g gold will still buy you tomorrow what it could buy you 10 years ago.

Using money as a form of payment is still going on today, although very few of us are aware of it. I did not know it until I came across the following quote on Moneyweb:

In parts of Southeast Asia, it’s not uncommon for individuals to use gold instead of cash for big purchases such as real estate, bankers and analysts said. “It’s the only investment tool that goes from institutional investors like banks to the public and back again,” said an executive at a Swiss refinery

The strong gold price might get you wondering if you should still buy gold.  You have to keep in mind that one does not buy gold to sell it the following day at a profit. Gold is a long term safeguard as part of a balanced portfolio. You buy gold to insure a good education for your children or to make sure you will be able to retire comfortably.

Most people cannot buy gold in bulk and therefore think they cannot invest in gold. This is not true though as Karatbars make it easy in the form of Cashgold. You can buy small quantities from as little as 0.1g. Of course you can buy bigger quantities and there is also many “luxury” product available to buy as gift or for promotional purposes. Branded karatbars can be customized for your needs. To quote the Karatbars website:

Whether it’s a birthday, a wedding or a college graduation - it is always the right occasion to give our newly designed Special Karatbar.

Shopping for the perfect gift for a special occasion or simply to say „Thank you!“ is easy with Karatbars. Have a look into our online shop section where you can find the latest ideas.

In South Africa people all know about the “Kruger Rand” the traditional gold coin for investors. So it is still the most popular gold coin. Economists will tell you that gold coins do not pay any interest. that may be true, but as it is physical gold it carries its own guarantees of growth through the rising gold price.

As popular as Kruger Rands are their price his higher than the price of cashgold. Have a look at the comparison as on 20 August this year. (For Cashgold go to "recently added" on the left pane scroll down and go to page 2)

You have to keep in mind that the price varies with the gold price. Still, you can see that it is a better way of saving in gold. CashGold can be bought in small amount. It is of the finest quality and has many safetyfeatures to provide the maximum safety. In a later article I will tell you about the forgeries doing the round.
