Phair argues that a "Hidden Hand"—governments employing banks to conduct mercantile banking—is quietly accumulating gold and silver, fundamentally decoupling the physical market from the Fed’s interest rate policies.
He details why US banks flipped from net short to net long after Thanksgiving, the "desperate" arbitrage that saw jets flying silver across the Atlantic, and the reality of China’s new export licensing system.
Phair also breaks down his "Axis vs. Allies" thesis for resource control and updates the "Phair-Sinclair Ratio," predicting a path to $35,000 gold as the West faces a critical shortage of strategic minerals.

Can Trump Fix the US Debt Crisis with Crypto and Gold?

Can Trump Fix the US Debt Crisis with Crypto and Gold?
Karlton Dennis: 1-6-2025
The United States is grappling with a daunting national debt of $39 trillion, a figure that continues to grow as government spending outpaces revenue.
As the nation hurtles towards its 250th anniversary in 2026, finding innovative solutions to this fiscal crisis has become imperative.
A recent video by Karlton Dennis explores the intriguing relationship between the national debt and potential strategies involving cryptocurrency and gold, possibly backed by President Donald Trump.
Initially, Trump’s approach to tackling the debt focused on creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, which aimed to cut wasteful federal spending and improve budgeting efficiency.
While DOGE managed to save around $215 billion, this amount was merely a drop in the ocean compared to the overall national debt. It became clear that spending cuts alone were insufficient to resolve the debt crisis.
The national debt continues to balloon because the government spends more than it earns, necessitating the issuance of Treasury securities to borrow money. This borrowing is sustainable only as long as investors demand these securities at reasonable interest rates.
However, even a slight increase in interest rates could cause the government’s annual interest payments to skyrocket, having a devastating impact on the broader economy.
In response to these challenges, Trump’s administration explored new strategies involving emerging financial technologies, particularly cryptocurrencies.
The Genius Act, passed in July 2025, mandates that stablecoins – digital currencies pegged to the US dollar – must be backed by either actual US dollars or short-term Treasury bills. This linkage creates a direct demand mechanism for government debt, as growth in stablecoin circulation translates into increased demand for Treasury securities, helping to keep interest rates low and borrowing costs manageable.
Another innovative tool proposed is gold-backed Treasury bonds.
These bonds would allow investors to lend money to the government and receive physical gold upon maturity, without interest payments in the interim.
This method, supported by Judy Shelton, Trump’s economic adviser, leverages the government’s enormous gold reserves, which, if revalued closer to current market prices, could unlock trillions in liquidity. This liquidity could then be used to reduce debt or stabilize the economy.
While these financial innovations may offer temporary relief and stability, they do not address the root problem of federal overspending. Rising interest rates could slow economic growth by increasing the cost of capital for businesses and government projects. Thus, long-term solutions require fiscal discipline, smarter investments, and policies that promote sustainable economic expansion.
As the United States navigates its fiscal challenges, it is clear that a combination of short-term fixes and comprehensive fiscal reform is necessary to control the ever-growing national debt. The approaches discussed in Karlton Dennis’s video may provide critical short-term support to the nation’s finances, but the real challenge remains balancing quick fixes with long-term fiscal responsibility.
Watch the full video by Karlton Dennis to gain further insights into the potential solutions to the US national debt crisis.

Mon. 5 Jan. 2025 The New Quantum Financial System…
The new QFS (allegedly) operates completely independently from the existing “centralized” banking and ends the “Central Banking System” that perpetuates “Debt Slavery” around the world.
Even though it is the ultimate in design, reliability, security and safety, the roll-out process will occur over time.
QFS operates on a Distributed Ledger Technology. It is NOT crypto currency or Blockchain technology.
Quantum Qubits “interact” with every financial transaction anywhere in the world of finance to ensure that each transaction is legal, owner-intended and transparent.
Since Central Banks do not have the ability to “reconcile” old FIAT (paper) money into the new QFS system, all fractional reserve banking and central banking activities will (allegedly) cease.
Every sovereign currency and every bank represents a separate Ledger in QFS.
Data on all account holders, at all banks, in all 209 participating countries was (allegedly) downloaded into QFS in March 2017 and serves as a “Distributed Ledger”.
QFS is designed for and ready to (allegedly) convert ALL bank accounts denominated in any Fiat currency anywhere in the world into a local asset-backed currency.
QFS pings the originating Fiat currency bank account to ensure it is still valid, active, and operational at the time the exchange of fiat currency for asset-backed currency takes effect.
After the successful ping of a local bank account, the fiat currency holdings are converted into the new local asset-backed currency on a 1:1 basis.

FRANK: They know purchasing power is coming and been promised them. They know who says to them it's coming all the time. And they know the one that pulls the trigger doesn't open his damn mouth except to say, 'I got no plans in doing anything.' OMAR: Television showing foreign contractors, some of them Americans, being attacked at hotels by protesters. Citizens are very upset. They voted on November 11th for Sudani to be the prime minister and he's still not named. And the citizens are upset at the reforms and the lies. This is going sideways fast...

Silver Update: US Commits To $7.4 Billion Metal Refinery
Arcadia Economics: 1-5-2026
The gold and silver prices are soaring again to start the first full week of 2026, and in the midst of the rally, Donald Trump and the U.S. just committed $7.4 billion to build a critical minerals refinery in Tennessee.
It's the latest indication that the government realizes that it has work to do in securing our metals infrastructure, especially here in the U.S., where there are only two LBMA-approved refineries that process silver, and one of them is currently not taking any new silver.

Gold is hovering around $4,450—not just a bull market, but a symptom of a dawning realization that decades of money printing have hollowed out the dollar’s value.
People are waking up, stacking “junk silver” (pre-1965 coins) and physical metal as a form of preparation. “My number one concern about 2026 is a second wave of inflation,” says Jeffrey Tucker, Founder, Author, and President of the Brownstone Institute.

People are waking up, stacking “junk silver” (pre-1965 coins) and physical metal as a form of preparation. “My number one concern about 2026 is a second wave of inflation,” says Jeffrey Tucker, Founder, Author, and President of the Brownstone Institute.
In a conversation with Daniela Cambone, Tucker warns that inflation could intensify as the U.S. approaches the 2026 midterm elections, adding pressure to the housing market and increasing economic uncertainty.
“I would not be at all surprised to see inflation of 3% or higher,” he says. Tucker also criticizes the idea of cutting interest rates at this stage, calling it “the worst possible time” and “a disastrous idea.”
He cautions that current policies risk repeating past mistakes: “My concern has been that we’re going to repeat the experience of the 1970s.”
He concludes that the deeper issue is a loss of trust in the system: “This would not be happening if people had confidence in the fiat money system — and they just don’t.”

SILVER ALERT! The Massive 140% Silver Gains in 2025 Will be DWARFED by 2026 Silver Gains!
(Bix Weir) 1-4-2025
Last year was a GREAT year for SILVER but it didn't fix ANY of the problems that currently face the silver market.
For one...the World is finding out that there is much less silver available for investors and industrial users than was claimed by the Silver Institute & CPM Group! This alone will send silver to massive new highs in 2026 but that's not all.
The COMEX Silver short is STILL over 750M ounces with no resolution in sight!
New 2026 EV Battery technologies use 20X the amount of silver that the old battery tech used and price is NOT the issue in a $50K 2026 Electric Vehicle!
The 2050 Green Energy Mandates can only be achieved by implementing Industrial Solar Power Stations all around the world...and Governments have agreed to print the fiat money to pay for it!
My conclusion...load up on physical because 2026 Silver gains will be like 2025 on STEROIDS!

Is It Time To Sell Your Silver?
That’s the question some may be asking in light of the fact that the precious metal’s price SI00 has risen well over 100% in the past year, reaching a record level above $82 an ounce on Monday. After all, many people have some silver tucked away in their closets in the form of flatware, coins and jewelry. Others may have purchased silver bars for investment purposes. Sure enough, those who buy silver for a living say they’ve been plenty busy of late responding to such folks.

Is It Time To Sell Your Silver?
That’s the question some may be asking in light of the fact that the precious metal’s price SI00 has risen well over 100% in the past year, reaching a record level above $82 an ounce on Monday. After all, many people have some silver tucked away in their closets in the form of flatware, coins and jewelry. Others may have purchased silver bars for investment purposes. Sure enough, those who buy silver for a living say they’ve been plenty busy of late responding to such folks.
“[We’re] seeing a deluge of silver sellers like we never have before,” said Brandon Aversano, CEO and founder of the Alloy Market, a Pennsylvania-based company that specializes in precious metals. Aversano noted that his firm has purchased nearly twice the amount of silver in the second half of 2025 as it did in the first half.
Fueling that demand, of course, are buyers aplenty who want a stake in silver, given the price gains of late.
“I’ve sold more silver in the past two weeks than I’ve probably sold in the past six months,” said Phil Neizvestny, owner of Bullion Holdings, a company based in New York City’s Diamond District.
If you do want to sell your silver items — whether it’s a set of cutlery you inherited from grandma or coins you collected long ago — what do you need to know? We spoke with some experts to find out. Let’s break it down into five questions.
1. Where Can You Sell Your Silver?
There are options galore. You can always head to your local pawnbroker or a merchant who specializes in coins or precious metals. You can also go the internet route, which will involve shipping your silver to a company that conducts such transactions.
Auction houses are yet another option, particularly for collectible items that have value beyond their intrinsic “melt value” (more on that later). There are also platforms like eBay EBAY, as well as social-media groups where buyers and sellers can connect.
Which option is best? Keep in mind that you can’t generally expect to receive the current market (or “spot”) price for your silver, since sellers have to make money on the transaction. “There is a bid/ask spread just like there is for any other traded asset,” explained Trip Brannen, chief financial officer at Coinfully, a company that appraises and purchases coins.
Experts say you will tend to get higher prices at online outlets — which typically have less overhead — but you then have to deal with shipping and you will also wait to receive your money. Pawnbrokers and other local merchants may pay less, but you’ll get your money right away.
And while going the eBay or social-media route can result in good prices, you need to ask yourself if you’re willing to deal directly with buyers.
No matter how you opt to sell, the usual caveat of getting different price quotes applies — don’t presume the first offer is the best. You’ll also want to check the buyer’s credentials or applicable ratings. And if you’re dealing with an online buyer, see if they’ll pay for shipping and insure your package.
2. How Can You Tell If An Item Is Real Silver?

Basel III and Physical Gold
GP Q: Basel III and Physical Gold
1-3-2025
BASEL III + PHYSICAL GOLD
Basel III is a global banking regulation that significantly upgraded gold’s status from Tier 3 to Tier 1 (High-Quality Liquid Asset) as of mid-2025, meaning banks can hold physical gold at 100% value for capital reserves, like cash, increasing demand and its safe-haven appeal.
While silver also benefits, gold’s boost is: more direct as a recognized zero-risk asset, contrasting with paper gold
and incentivising banks to hold more physical metal, potentially driving prices up and shifting focus from speculative paper markets.
GP Q: Basel III and Physical Gold
1-3-2025
BASEL III + PHYSICAL GOLD
Basel III is a global banking regulation that significantly upgraded gold’s status from Tier 3 to Tier 1 (High-Quality Liquid Asset) as of mid-2025, meaning banks can hold physical gold at 100% value for capital reserves, like cash, increasing demand and its safe-haven appeal.
While silver also benefits, gold’s boost is: more direct as a recognized zero-risk asset, contrasting with paper gold
and incentivising banks to hold more physical metal, potentially driving prices up and shifting focus from speculative paper markets.
What Basel III Means for Gold:
Tier 1 Asset:
Physical, allocated gold is now treated like cash and U.S. Treasuries, with a 0% risk weighting.
Increased Demand:
Banks are encouraged to increase physical gold holdings to meet capital requirements, boosting institutional demand.
Reduced Capital Burden:
Gold no longer requires extra capital charges, making it more efficient for banks to hold.
Shift to Physical:
The rule lessens the appeal of speculative “paper gold,” pushing for more physical metal.
Impact on Silver:
Indirect Benefits:
Silver also benefits from Basel III’s focus on tangible assets, but its impact is more complex due to massive paper-to-physical ratios (around 300:1).
Price Volatility:
Unwinding massive paper silver positions could create significant supply shocks, potentially driving prices up dramatically.
Key Change Date:
The Basel III “Endgame” rules, bringing gold to Tier 1 status, became effective for many globally on July 1, 2025, though U.S. adoption has a transition period.
In essence:
Basel III formally recognizes gold as “money” again by making physical gold a top-tier reserve asset, strengthening its role as a core financial instrument for banks

Militia Man Iraq has lots of natural resources, somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 trillion. You have to take that into consideration. Low inflation, plenty of foreign reserves, plenty of gold…and a huge amount of non-oil revenue streams, ties to global financial integration, political stability reduces risks for International partners such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development $100 million dollar facility…They’re headed into the global markets. It’s obvious. It’s clear as day…
Jeff These elections are happening faster than they ever have…They completed their parliament in record time…Everything is coming together correctly and fast, like in record time.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: The CBI put this out on the television. This is absolute…The Central Bank of Iraq is rolling out a new currency mechanism by the end of this month. They’re tightening up the circulation of the dinar, cutting it down by about 5.5% this last quarter to make things a bit more sturdier. It’s all part of the bigger plan to stabilize the currency. They’re not messing with the exchange rate itself. They’re pushing for a more digital approach…more international… FRANK: Yes, the monetary mechanism is streamlining everything that is required for a new exchange rate.

Triple Digits Silver Soon! JP Morgan Holds 750 M oz Silver | Andy Schectman Silver
Smart Stock Trading: 1-3-2025
In this interview, Andy Schectman, President of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, delivers a bullish outlook on silver, predicting a massive rally potentially reaching 50X its current value due to an impending revaluation driven by global monetary shifts, de-dollarization, supply shortages, and institutional demand.
He warns that the transition will be turbulent ("buckle up, it's going to be rough"), with economic challenges ahead as the US dollar weakens and fiat systems face stress.
Schectman highlights 2026 as a pivotal year where gold and silver could outperform all other assets, but emphasizes that most Americans are unprepared for the coming financial disruptions, including inflation, debt crises, and BRICS-related changes.
Key drivers include physical silver shortages, manipulation suppression ending, central bank accumulation, and silver's dual role as an industrial and monetary metal.

Structural Breakdown of the Currency System
Structural Breakdown of the Currency System
Liberty and Finance: 1-1-2026
The global financial landscape is facing unprecedented challenges, with the US debt crisis taking center stage.
The current debt stands at a staggering $38 trillion, and experts warn that this number is unsustainable.
The abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 has led to persistent currency debasement and a loss of trust in the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Structural Breakdown of the Currency System
Liberty and Finance: 1-1-2026
The global financial landscape is facing unprecedented challenges, with the US debt crisis taking center stage.
The current debt stands at a staggering $38 trillion, and experts warn that this number is unsustainable.
The abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 has led to persistent currency debasement and a loss of trust in the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the implications of this crisis, the growing significance of gold and silver as stores of value, and the potential risks associated with the increasing trend towards cashless digital currencies.
The US debt crisis is a complex issue, and there’s no easy solution in sight.
The loss of confidence in the US dollar is reflected in the diminished demand for US Treasury bonds, forcing the Federal Reserve to intervene through quantitative easing and money printing. This has further weakened the dollar, creating a vicious cycle of debt monetization. As a result, investors are increasingly looking for alternative stores of value, such as gold and silver.
Central banks around the world have been accumulating gold reserves, signaling a shift away from trust in paper currencies.
Gold and silver are not speculative assets, but rather essential, long-term stores of value that protect against inflation and currency debasement. In times of economic uncertainty, precious metals have consistently proven to be a reliable safe haven.
Retail investors would do well to focus on the broader economic context rather than short-term price fluctuations or attempts to time the market.
While some countries are embracing cashless digital currencies, others are pushing back against this trend.
Initiatives in Switzerland and Sweden aim to protect citizens’ rights to use cash, highlighting concerns about privacy, financial control, and vulnerability to cyber disruptions.
The increasing centralization and programmability of money raise red flags about government control and seizure of assets, especially in times of geopolitical or economic crisis.
The bond market is facing a crisis of its own, with declining demand from traditional buyers like China and Japan.
The Fed has become the primary purchaser, creating an unsustainable cycle of debt monetization. Rising yields threaten to increase government interest expenses, potentially destabilizing markets, including stocks and real estate, which are heavily reliant on cheap borrowing.
Artificial support mechanisms, such as stock buybacks and insider trading, have kept markets afloat despite underlying economic weaknesses.
The conversation around the global financial crisis is not just about numbers; it’s also about the erosion of trust in governments and institutions.
Currency manipulation and inflation misreporting have been likened to a form of societal betrayal. Honest leadership and transparency are needed to address these systemic issues, but the political realities suggest that such candor is unlikely.
In conclusion, the global financial landscape is facing significant challenges, and it’s essential to be prepared.
Gold and silver are becoming increasingly important as stores of value, and investors would do well to consider them as part of their wealth protection strategy. It’s also crucial to remain vigilant about the evolving financial landscape and to be aware of the potential risks associated with cashless digital currencies.
By staying informed and taking a long-term view, individuals can protect their wealth and navigate the uncertain economic waters ahead.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Bill Holter to the show. Bill is a Precious Metals Expert and Broker. In this in-depth discussion about the precious metals market, Holter provides a comprehensive overview of the current dynamics driving silver and gold prices, highlighting a significant structural shift in the global metals market.
Holter emphasizes a substantial supply and demand deficit in silver, estimated at 300-400 million ounces, driven by increasing industrial applications such as AI technology and electric vehicle batteries.
He notes that physical metal exchanges like Shanghai are experiencing significant premiums over paper markets, indicating a fundamental change in metals trading.
This phenomenon, known as backwardation, suggests investors are increasingly prioritizing physical metal ownership over paper contracts.
Bill predicts a potential transformation in global currency systems, suggesting that the US dollar is declining while BRICS nations are developing a potentially gold-backed settlement currency.
Holter believes this shift could dramatically impact global financial markets, with gold and silver emerging as the only truly trustworthy currencies.
Institutional buying is currently driving the precious metals market, with family offices, hedge funds, and even sovereign nations like Russia purchasing significant quantities. Holter sees this as a critical moment for metals, potentially leading to a delivery failure in silver markets that could trigger massive price increases.
For individual investors, Holter recommends starting with silver, particularly "junk silver" coins minted before 1965, which offer the most practical and recognizable form of silver ownership.
He stresses that it's not too late to enter the market, warning that current financial systems are fundamentally unstable and that precious metals represent a critical hedge against potential economic collapse.
