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.

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...

Configuring Swap Memory on Ubuntu Using Ansible

If we maintain a Linux machine with a low memory capacity while we are required to run an application with high memory consumption, enabling swap memory is an option. Ansible can be utilized as a helper tool to automate the creation of swap memory. A swap file can be allocated in the available storage of the machine. The swap file then can be assigned as a swap memory. Firstly, we should prepare the inventory file. The following snippet is an example, you must provide your own configuration. [server] 192.168.1.2 [server:vars] ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa Secondly, we need to prepare the task file that contains not only the tasks but also some variables and connection information. For instance, we set /swapfile as the name of our swap file. We also set the swap memory size to 2GB and the swappiness level to 60. - hosts: server become: true vars: swap_vars: size: 2G swappiness: 60 For simplicity, we only check the...

Deliver SaaS According Twelve-Factor App

If you haven't heard of the twelve-factor app , it gives us a recommendation or a methodology for developing SaaS or web apps structured into twelve items. The recommendation has some connections with microservice architecture and cloud-native environments which become more popular today. We can learn the details on its website . In this post, we will do a quick review of the twelve points. One Codebase Multiple Deployment We should maintain only one codebase for our application even though the application may be deployed into multiple environments like development, staging, and production. Having multiple codebases will lead to any kinds of complicated issues. Explicitly State Dependencies All the dependencies for running our application should be stated in the project itself. Many programming languages have a kind of file that maintains a list of the dependencies like package.json in Node.js. We should also be aware of the dependencies related to the pla...

Handling PDF Generation in Web Service

If we are building a website that requires a PDF generation feature, there are several options for implementing it based on the use cases or user requirements. First, we can generate the PDF on the client side using any available client library. It is suitable if the use case is to print out some data that is already available inside certain website components, and we want to maintain the styles of the components in the document. Second, we can do it fully in the back-end using any library available, such as PDF-lib, jsPDF, and so on. This approach is suitable if we want to keep the data processing or any related business functions in the back-end server. This second approach might have disadvantages, such as the difficulty of maintaining the design assets and styles which are already on our website. Third, it is using a hybrid approach, where certain processes are handled on the client side, and some are handled on the back-end. In this post, I want to discuss more about the...

Free Cloud Services from UpCloud

Although I typically deploy my development environment or experimental services on UpCloud , I do not always stay updated on its announcements. Recently, I discovered that UpCloud has introduced a new plan called the Essentials plan, which enables certain cloud services to be deployed at no cost. The complimentary services are generally associated with network components or serve as the foundation for other cloud services. This feature is particularly useful when retaining foundational services, such as a load balancer, is necessary, while tearing down all services and reconfiguring the DNS and other application settings each time we temporarily clean up infrastructure to reduce costs is undesirable. When reviewing the service specifications of the cloud services in the Essentials plan, they appear to be very similar to those in the Development plan. The difference in service levels is unclear, but it could be related to hardware or resource allocation. For instance, the loa...
