Gold/Crypto To Replace Dollar Hegemony? | Rick Rule, Alasdair Macleod, Andy Schectman (Part 2)
Liberty and Finance: 10-1-2025
In part 2 of this panel discussion, Andy Schectman explains how BRICS Pay, multi‑jurisdictional gold vaults, and central bank digital currencies are creating a settlement system outside the dollar, eroding dollar dominance and enabling gold as a key global standard.
Alasdair MacLeod warns this shift points toward a Bretton Woods‑style system anchored in gold, dismisses cryptocurrencies as a speculative mania, and urges moving out of credit and into real money.
Rick Rule stresses that while the dollar will remain the world’s reserve currency for the foreseeable future, the next decade will be difficult for the unprepared, and he advocates owning assets one understands, especially gold and precious metals.
Together they call for reducing exposure to the U.S. dollar, diversifying into real assets, and adapting strategies to survive and thrive in a changing global monetary landscape.
