8 HAL YANG PATUT DIKETAHUI TENTANG EMAS


Bicara tentang Dinar Islam, selalu berbicara soal emas. Sebab itu, segala hal yang terjadi dalam pasar emas, juga berlaku bagi Dinar. Berikut ini tulisan dari Iqbal Muhaimin (geraidinar.com) yang menuliskan delapan hal tentang emas, diambil dari tulisan James Turk, CEO GoldMoney. Inilah delapan hal tersebut:
  • Emas adalah komoditi yang spesial dan unik : Emas digali dari perut bumi dan terakumulasi di permukaan bumi. Emas tidak dikonsumsi, jadi jumlahnya terus bertambah. Meski demikian emas selalu menjadi barang langka karena seluruh emas yang ada di permukaan bumi saat ini diperkirakan hanya berkisar antara 150,000 ton sampai 160,000 ton saja.
  • Suplai emas dunia terbatas pada yang berada di permukaan bumi : Karena tidak dikonsumsi, maka total suplai emas di seluruh dunia sama dengan jumlah seluruh emas di permukaan bumi. Kenaikan setiap tahun suplai ini berkisar antara 1.5% sampai 1.7%.
  • Emas adalah uang sepanjang zaman : emas selalu menjadi uang dalam sejarah manusia - diakui ataupun tidak. Fakta pemerintahan-pemerintahan di dunia mengendalikan nilai uang kertasnya dengan mempengaruhi suplai emas di pasar adalah sebuah pengakuan bahwa emas-lah yang sebenarnya uang itu.
  • Emas adalah alternatif dari US Dollar dan mata uang kertas lainnya : Seluruh mata uang kertas turun nilainya dari waktu ke waktu karena uang baru selalu bisa dicetak kapan saja dan berapa saja pemerintah mau. Emaslah yang memiliki daya beli yang nyata - bukan US Dollar, rupiah atau mata uang kertas lainnya.
  • Daya beli Emas stabil sepanjang zaman : Untuk ini saya sudah menulis di setidaknya dua artikel sebelumnya. SAtu tulisan berdasarkan statistik modern satu lagi berdasarkan keimanan pada Al-Quran dan Al-Hadits.
  • Nilai emas ditentukan oleh pasar: Meski pemerintah-pemerintah di dunia berusaha mempengaruhi harga emas dunia, kemampuan mereka terbatas dan makin lama makin habis pengaruhnya. Lihat tulisan saya kemarin tentang cadangan emas di bank-bank sentral seluruh dunia yang terus menurun karena digunakan untuk usaha mempengaruhi harga emas dunia.
  • Emas selalu diambil dalam kondisi 'Bull Market' : Tahun 1994 harga 1 Dinnar adalah Rp 111,000.00; hari ini 1 Dinar berharga 1,150,000.00. Artinya emas harganya naik 10 kali lipat dalam 14 tahun terakhir. Apa yang menghalangi harga emas untuk naik 10 kali lipat lagi dalam 14 tahun ke depan? Tidak ada. Artinya bisa saja harga 1 Dinar akan mencapai Rp. 11,5 juta pada saat anak Anda yang baru lahir sekarang masuk SMA di tahun 2022. Tapi ingat, dalam jangka pendek harga emas selalu bergejolak naik-turun seperti yang terjadi hari-hari ini.
  • Beli emas dalam bentuk fisik (berupa koin atau batangan) dan jangan membeli emas hanya dalam bentuk sertifikat: jangan terlalu mengandalkan sistem perdagangan modern yang menggantungkan pada surat berharga, surat hutang dan sejenisnya - meskipun di backup dengan emas. Penggunaan emas secara fisik jauh lebih aman untuk keperluan investasi dan proteksi nilai.

Deploying a Web Server on UpCloud using Terraform Modules

In my earlier post , I shared an example of deploying UpCloud infrastructure using Terraform from scratch. In this post, I want to share how to deploy the infrastructure using available Terraform modules to speed up the set-up process, especially for common use cases like preparing a web server. For instance, our need is to deploy a website with some conditions as follows. The website can be accessed through HTTPS. If the request is HTTP, it will be redirected to HTTPS. There are 2 domains, web1.yourdomain.com and web2.yourdomain.com . But, users should be redirected to "web2" if they are visiting "web1". There are 4 main modules that we need to set up the environment. Private network. It allows the load balancer to connect with the server and pass the traffic. Server. It is used to host the website. Load balancer. It includes backend and frontend configuration. Dynamic certificate. It is requ...

Increase of Malicious Activities and Implementation of reCaptcha

In recent time, I've seen the increase of malicious activities such as login attempts or phishing emails to some accounts I manage. Let me list some of them and the actions taken. SSH Access Attempts This happened on a server that host a Gitlab server. Because of this case, I started to limit the incoming traffic to the server using internal and cloud firewall provided by the cloud provider. I limit the exposed ports, connected network interfaces, and allowed protocols. Phishing Attempts This typically happened through email and messaging platform such as Whatsapp and Facebook Page messaging. The malicious actors tried to share a suspicious link lured as invoice, support ticket, or something else. Malicious links shared Spammy Bot The actors leverage one of public endpoint on my website to send emails. Actually, the emails won't be forwarded anywhere except to my own email so this just full my inbox. This bot is quite active, but I'm still not sure what...

How To Discover Exposed Digital Assets for Free Using Noxtara

If you have a website or public-facing digital assets, you might wonder whether they’re secure and what potential entry points could be at risk. A great first step is to list all the digital assets connected to your main domain. One free tool that can help with this is called Noxtara. It offers a variety of security tools in one integrated dashboard, including a feature for discovering public-facing assets. Creating a free account is simple—just head over to the registration page . If you’ve got a company email that matches the domain you want to scan, it’s best to use that since it makes adding the domain to the Noxtara platform much easier. No worries if you don’t have a company email, though; you can still sign up without a problem. Just keep in mind that when you want to add your company’s domain for scanning, you’ll need to go through a quick DNS record check. Registration Once you’ve registered, you can set up a team and add your domain in the team settings. If the domai...

What's Good About Strapi, a Headless CMS

Recently, I've been revisiting Strapi as a solution for building backend systems. I still think this headless CMS can be quite useful in certain cases, especially for faster prototyping or creating common websites like company profiles or e-commerce platforms . It might even have the potential to handle more complex systems. With the release of version 5, I'm curious to know what updates it brings. Strapi has launched a new documentation page, and it already feels like an improvement in navigation and content structure compared to the previous version. That said, there's still room for improvement, particularly when it comes to use cases and best practices for working with Strapi. In my opinion, Strapi stands out with some compelling features that could catch developers' attention. I believe three key aspects of Strapi offer notable advantages. First, the content-type builder feature lets us design the data structure of an entity or database model , including ...

My Review for Free Project Management Tools

For about a year I had used Trello  as my team project management tool. It helps my team to maintain our "to-do" lists. But after increasing project numbers, as operation manager, I feel hard to maintain each of the team jobs on some projects. Some tasks become untouched. After a meeting, our team realizes that what the team need is clear detail about "What should I do today?" or "What should my teammates do today?". We need to find another project management tool. Trello uses the Kanban scheme which is very adaptive. I feel it's not suitable for my team, which consists of some people with different levels of expertise and who work on multiple projects. We need a tool that is better for a more prescriptive process to maintain our projects. Other features of the project management tool that we need are free, simple, secure, fast, and has mobile support. First, I search on Google for "Best Free Project Management Tool". After that, I decided...

Manage Kubernetes Cluster using Rancher
