Gold Breaks $4000 - Is The Dollar Collapsing? | Mario Innecco

Gold Breaks $4000 - Is The Dollar Collapsing? | Mario Innecco

Liberty and Finance: 10-8-2025

Mario Innecco speaks about gold breaking above $4,000 and silver nearing $50, signaling deeper issues within the global financial system.

Innecco warns that such price surges often precede major economic or geopolitical crises, comparing today’s environment to 1980, 2008, and 2011 when precious metals spiked before turmoil.

 He suggests gold may be anticipating hidden credit stress, inflation, or war, as physical demand from central banks and investors drains available supply and pushes lease rates higher.

Despite record prices, Innecco cautions against selling physical holdings, arguing that gold and silver serve as essential insurance against fiat currency collapse.

 He predicts silver could soar well beyond $50 once resistance breaks, as institutional and retail investors rush into tangible assets amid fading confidence in the financial system.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Israel & Hamas Agree to Ceasefire and Hostage Deal

After years of conflict, a U.S.-brokered first phase of peace raises as many questions as hopes.

The Breakthrough Moment

• Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire and hostage exchange under a 20-point peace plan mediated by former President Trump. 

• The deal includes:
   • An immediate halt to hostilities 
   • Partial Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza 
   • Release of hostages held by Hamas, in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel 

• Reuters reports that Hamas has handed over a list of Israelis and Palestinians as part of the swap deal. 

• Initial reactions: widespread relief among civilians, cautious optimism from international actors, but unresolved tensions over implementation. 

Fragile Peace vs. Structural Fault Lines

• Trust & Verification Issues: As with past ceasefires, failure to comply (e.g. disarmament, troop movements) could unravel the agreement.

• Governance & Security Vacuum: Who governs Gaza post-withdrawal? How will Hamas be held in check?

• Humanitarian Access & Reconstruction: Ceasefire opens an entry point for aid, but rebuilding requires sustained security and capital flows.

• Regional Spillover: Neighboring countries (Iran, Lebanon, Egypt) and alliances may recalibrate based on how power balances shift.

How This Connects to Global Restructuring

• Strategic Realignment: This deal isn’t just about peace in Gaza — it reorders regional alignments. States will reassess their dependency on the U.S., Israel, or Gulf actors.

• Financial & Humanitarian Levers: Post-ceasefire reconstruction will require large-scale financing. Nations pushing de-dollarization or alternative systems will seek influence in that funding.

• Narrative of Sovereignty: Governance of Gaza becomes a symbolic battleground over who sets rules — local actors or external powers.

• Precedent for Conflict Zones: If peace holds, this becomes a model for resolving deep-seated conflicts through mediated frameworks rather than military dominance.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

This ceasefire agreement is more than a pause in fighting. It represents a moment of potential realignment — in power, capital, and legitimacy.
If successfully implemented, it could shift how regional states fund, govern, and align their interests in the Middle East and beyond.
But failure risks reigniting conflict and reinforcing the old order.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Finance as Battlefield: How War Transformed Global Money

Conflict no longer just forces armies to march — it sends capital, credit, and reserves to the front lines.

The New Frontline: Banking, Sanctions & Reserve Seizures

• In 2022, over $300 billion of Russia’s central bank reserves were frozen under Western sanctions — arguably the largest financial seizure in modern history.

• That same year, more than 11,000 sanctions measures were imposed globally, weaponizing finance at scale. 

• Beyond Russia, modern conflicts use SWIFT bans, asset freezes, payment system exclusions, and currency collapses as tools of economic coercion. 

What’s Being Financed — and How

• Gold & Digital Assets: In conflict zones, gold serves as a “neutral” reserve; crypto-donations to Ukraine exceeded $200 million. 

• War Finance 2.0: Traditional tools like war bonds and taxes are augmented by sanctions regimes, trade restrictions, and digital flows. 

• Weaponized Trade & Capital Flows: Sanctions often provoke counter-sanctions, capital flight, and financial fragmentation. 

• Financing the Conflict Internally: In crises like Sudan, rising gold prices have fueled smuggling and conflict financing to underwrite military operations (recent FT reporting). 

Structural Shifts: The Rules of Money Reordered

• The dollar’s dominance is under direct assault: its share in global reserves has dropped toward ~60%. 

• Over 130 countries are exploring or piloting CBDCs, partly as a response to financial weaponization. 

• Research shows that sanction risk, network effects, and capital flight trigger migration toward alternative payment rails (CIPS, regional systems). 

• The U.S. has long used chokepoints (SWIFT, dollar clearing, tech embargoes) as a coercive overlay on globalization. 

Risks, Inequities & Unintended Blowback

• Collateral damage to civilians: Sanctions can destabilize health systems, supply chains, and aid flows. 

• Liquidity shortages: States under sanction or conflict often struggle to access foreign capital or U.S. dollar funding lines.

• Fragmentation over coordination: As each bloc builds its own rails, interoperability and cross-border liquidity become harder.

• Trust decay: Confidence in the “universal” rules of finance erodes when capital is weaponized unpredictably.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Finance is no longer passive infrastructure — it is now a strategic theater of war.
Nations are being forced to design economic systems that survive conflict, sanctions, and fragmentation.
The era ahead will reward those who control credit rails, reserve strategy, and payment sovereignty, not just military might.
We stand at the threshold of a new global monetary architecture — built not on fiat dominance but on resilience, assets, and alternative networks.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

The International Development Bank announced its strategic sponsorship of the Faw Port Summit, stressing that this participation aligns with its vision to support Iraq's efforts to transform into a leading regional logistics and trade hub.

The bank explained in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "its active presence on the regional and international scene is consolidated by the opening of its branch in the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the Umm Qasr Port branch, as well as its network of branches spread across all Iraqi governorates, which reflects its commitment to providing innovative banking solutions that contribute to enabling investment in strategic infrastructure projects and achieving sustainable economic returns."

The bank affirmed that "its sponsorship of this important international event represents a practical step towards consolidating its role as a trusted financial partner, putting its banking expertise at the service of major national projects, most notably the Grand Faw Port Project, which represents a fundamental pillar in the future of the Iraqi economy."  link

Tishwash:  The Prime Minister chairs a meeting to follow up on mechanisms to support banks in implementing infrastructure and development projects.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired a meeting on Wednesday to follow up on mechanisms to support banks in implementing infrastructure and development projects.

The Prime Minister's media office said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired a meeting today, Wednesday, dedicated to discussing and following up on mechanisms for investing banking facilities in supporting the completion of infrastructure projects and development projects being implemented throughout Iraq."

He added, "During the meeting, the progress made in reforming the banking system was discussed, making it one of the tools for supporting development and expanding banking activities within the context and controls of globally recognized banking practices."

He added, "The meeting discussed optimal investment of Iraqi assets through banking facilities for strategic investment projects and basic infrastructure projects, particularly those related to energy, such as oil, gas, and electricity projects."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani on the oil agreement with Erbil: An achievement that represents an important milestone for Iraq

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani considered the oil agreement between Baghdad and Erbil on Wednesday an achievement that represents an important milestone for Iraq and all Iraqis.

His office stated in a statement it received:IQ), that "the Sudanese met, today, Wednesday, with representatives of the company HKN American Energy welcomed the investment partnership of the company HKN In Iraq, he considered it a positive indicator that reflects growing confidence in the country's investment environment.

Al-Sudani pointed out that "this step comes as an extension of agreements recently concluded with American companies in various sectors, which contributes to strengthening bilateral economic relations between Iraq and the United States."

He expressed his "appreciation for the role of the company." HKN In completing the recent agreement to export oil from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and facilitating the reopening of the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, as an important station in developing the energy sector, enhancing sovereignty and fair management of wealth, ensuring that the Iraqi people benefit from their national resources," stressing that "this achievement represents an important milestone for Iraq and for all Iraqis."  link

************

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani and Barzani agree on a US-sponsored financial deal. Iraq is losing its wealth to Erbil.

Recent amendments to the Iraqi budget have sparked widespread controversy over the granting of illegitimate financial privileges to the Kurdistan Region, amid accusations by MPs and government opponents of foreign influence over the country's financial policies.

Amid ongoing disputes between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region over the distribution of financial resources, the budget amendment has intensified criticism, with Kurdish officials accused of exploiting public funds for personal political gain.

Political deal or constitutional amendment?

Independent MP Yasser al-Husseini criticized the passage of the budget amendment, describing it as “serving foreign agendas at the expense of national autonomy.” He added that the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) tends to prioritize its partisan and personal interests over the fair distribution of funds among citizens in the region.

Al-Husseini told Al-Maalouma, “Talk about autonomy and adherence to the constitution is unrealistic in light of the weakness of state institutions and the efforts of some parties to please the US at the expense of the interests of the Iraqi people.”

He stressed that "the continuation of these policies confirms that some forces continue to prioritize foreign interests over national autonomy, which requires a firm national stance to preserve Iraq's wealth and prevent its exploitation to serve non-Iraqi agendas."

Financial Flexibility Raises Concerns

In turn, economic researcher Abdul Salam Hassan Hussein pointed out that the budget was designed with great flexibility, allowing the region to dispose of oil revenues without clear restrictions. This opens the way for the funds to be used to pay off debts rather than develop the local economy.

Hussein added to Al-Maalouma, “The constitutional laws are clear, but political pressures allow for circumventing difficult provisions and passing decisions without strict adherence to the constitution.”

Persistence of Old Crises

Observers point out that the financial relationship between Baghdad and Erbil suffers from a lack of oversight and transparency. The region has continued to manage the oil fields and deduct funds for more than two decades without any real change, which increases fears of a recurrence of political deals that ignore the interests of the Iraqi people.   link

Gold Tops $4K as World Prepares to Go off Dollar Standard

Gold Tops $4K as World Prepares to Go off Dollar Standard

Peter Schiff:  10-8-2025

The financial world recently crossed a staggering, unprecedented milestone: gold surged past $4,000 per ounce.

While mainstream financial media often tries to rationalize such movements away as temporary volatility or irrational exuberance, economist and outspoken investment strategist Peter Schiff argues that this surge is the clearest, most urgent warning signal yet—a screaming indicator that the global financial system, founded upon the U.S. dollar, is on the brink of profound collapse.

In a recent video, Schiff didn’t just celebrate the price jump; he dissected its implications, drawing striking parallels to historical crises and laying out a grim forecast for the dollar and U.S. sovereign debt.

For Peter Schiff, gold is not merely a commodity; it is the ultimate forward-looking indicator of economic health.

The move past $4,000 is not random; it signals accelerating fear over the future purchasing power of fiat currencies, especially the U.S. dollar.

Schiff anchors his argument in history, specifically comparing today’s situation to the 1970s. When the U.S. abandoned the gold standard, the dollar experienced a massive devaluation, leading to crippling stagflation.

 The current crisis, he argues, is a sequel—but potentially far more severe—as the world actively moves away from the U.S. dollar standard.

Schiff critiques commentators who dismiss gold’s rise, reminding us that truly significant financial crises are often heralded by seemingly isolated market events.

 Just as the rising default rates on subprime mortgages were the quiet harbinger of the 2008 financial crisis, the explosive rise in gold prices is signaling a sovereign debt and inflation crisis that the Federal Reserve and Washington are actively ignoring.

Why is the dollar’s reserve status eroding now? Schiff points to three critical factors that have converged to accelerate the move away from the greenback:

The bedrock of the dollar’s global status has been fundamentally undermined by the massive, unsustainable debt carried by the U.S. government. Irresponsible fiscal policies—unfunded spending, endless deficits, and ballooning national debt—have signaled to the world that the U.S. has no intention of paying down its liabilities or maintaining the strength of its currency.

Schiff argues that the Federal Reserve has lost credibility by prioritizing political stability over fiscal prudence. Years of loose monetary policy, followed by policy shifts that have failed to tame inflation effectively, have left investors skeptical of the Fed’s ability to navigate the complex economic landscape without resorting to the inflationary tactic of printing more money.

Perhaps the most significant recent catalyst is the weaponization of the dollar through geopolitical sanctions, notably those levied against Russia.

 By freezing dollar-denominated assets, the U.S. government inadvertently provided the final push needed for nations like China, the BRICS alliance, and others to actively seek alternatives to the dollar for trade and reserves. This collective push for de-dollarization is rapidly diminishing the demand for U.S. assets.

Schiff’s prediction is stark: the unprecedented surge in gold prices foreshadows a looming dollar collapse accompanied by hyperinflation.

Schiff believes the Fed will ultimately choose the latter, resulting in a severe devaluation crisis where goods and services become exponentially more expensive, even as the official economy plunges into deep distress.

If the gold market is truly signaling the end of the dollar era, preparation is paramount. Peter Schiff is adamant that traditional defensive strategies will fail because the U.S. bond market will be the primary victim of rising rates and collapsing currency value.

Gold and silver are essential portfolio anchors. They are real money that retains value during periods of monetary debasement and inflation. As the dollar plummets, these assets represent protected purchasing power.

Avoid reliance on U.S. stocks and bonds. Schiff recommends acquiring foreign dividend-paying stocks that generate income in currencies less exposed to the U.S. debt crisis, allowing investors to move their capital out of the collapsing dollar orbit.

Schiff stresses that U.S. bonds (Treasuries) will suffer the most significant damage. As rates eventually rise or inflation spirals out of control, the value of fixed-income U.S. debt will be decimated.

The move to $4,000 gold is a marker of historic significance, according to Peter Schiff. It is a financial verdict on decades of fiscal negligence and a clear call to action for investors to prepare for a financial upheaval that will redefine global monetary stability.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Spurs Central Banks’ Record Gold Buying: They Know the Dollar’s Fragile

As central banks amass gold in a global wave, the message is clear: faith in the dollar is waning.

Bulk Buying Amid Price Highs

  ● Central banks across BRICS and beyond added 15 tonnes in August alone, even as gold prices hit record levels. 
  ● Kazakhstan led the charge with 8 tonnes — its sixth consecutive month of accumulation. 
  ● Global purchases wide-spread: from China (10 months straight) to El Salvador’s first ever central bank buy. 
  ● Data shows BRICS nations now control ~20% of global gold reserves, with Russia and China together holding ~74% of that share.

This level of accumulation, even during steep price levels, is no hedging — it's conviction.

Beyond Accumulation: Signalling a Paradigm Shift

• Dollar Abandonment in Progress: The push for gold reflects deeper intentions to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency.

• Asset-Anchored Trust: Gold carries no counterparty risk and can’t be frozen or censored — making it ideal when fiat systems falter.

• Inter-Bloc Trade Shift: More BRICS trade is now settled in local currencies or gold-linked mechanisms, bypassing dollar pathways.

• New Monetary Architecture: Gold reserves become a foundation for alternative rails, settlement networks, and reserve currencies.

The shift is structural, not cyclical.

Risks & Structural Limits

• Rising gold prices may slow excessive buying, tightening margins. 

• Liquidity constraints, especially for smaller nations, could limit aggressive accumulation.

• Trust, transparency, and legal frameworks remain significant hurdles for institutional adoption.

• Some reserve managers warn that gold alone cannot replace the functionality and liquidity of the dollar system.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Gold’s rise here isn’t a speculative fad — it’s a strategic reallocation of trust and capital.
If central banks are leaning into gold, they’re preparing for a world where fiat dominance fractures and asset-backed systems gain ground.
This isn’t simply a color change in reserves — it’s a reconfiguration of monetary gravity.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Gold’s Run to $5,000, Silver $50 Isn’t a Rally: It’s Proof of a Dying Financial System

Gold’s Run to $5,000, Silver $50 Isn’t a Rally: It’s Proof of a Dying Financial System

Daniela Cambone:  10-8-2025

“It’s really theft. And it's not mistaken theft or stupid theft. It's deliberate policy theft,” says Matthew Piepenburg, author of Rigged to Fail, of the current fiscal environment.

 He warns we are at a “Stalingrad moment” for the U.S. dollar, driven by unsustainable debt and central banks “net stacking gold and net dumping U.S. Treasuries.”

This historic shift, he explains, is because “policymakers are not your friends” and are deliberately debasing currency. “When that debt credit balloon approaches a popping moment… the currency used to monetize that debt… melts like an ice cube.”

In this environment, “gold just tells the truth,” acting as a vital lifeboat. “Gold has almost a supernatural, historical, and inherent quality that's simply unmatched.

And that's why it's in such demand, and it will always get the last laugh over dying fiat paper money. It just always does.”

Armies Of Investment Managers About To Rush Gold | Clive Thompson

Armies Of Investment Managers About To Rush Gold | Clive Thompson

Liberty and Finance:  20-8-2025

Gold and silver markets are surging, with gold nearing $4,000 and silver pushing $50, driven by global unease over political instability, the U.S. government shutdown, and recession fears.

Clive Thompson says investors are losing faith in holding cash and rushing into tangible assets, while institutional portfolios still hold less than 1% gold on average, leaving room for a major revaluation if allocations rise even modestly.

He views short-term froth as normal within a powerful, long-term bull market. Thompson warns the U.S. shutdown is forcing the Fed to “fly blind” without economic data and slowing growth amid layoffs and AI-driven job losses.

He expects the Fed to resume money printing to cap long-term rates, triggering renewed inflation and pushing gold even higher.

He argues government debt is compounding faster than GDP and predicts an eventual gold revaluation, potentially near $15,000 per ounce, as the only way to restore fiscal solvency.

Ultimately, he sees the “crack-up boom” described by von Mises unfolding, where all real assets rise together as confidence in fiat currencies erodes.

Gold, he says, remains the anchor of real value as dollars, euros, and other currencies continue to lose purchasing power in “real money” terms.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Gold Hits Record as Markets Crack Under Political Anxiety

When uncertainty rules, gold often becomes the default barometer of systemic stress.

What Just Happened

  ● Gold Surges Past $4,000/oz: Spot gold climbed ~1%, breaking through $4,021.22 per ounce — a year-to-date gain of over 50%.
  ● Flight to Safety: Central banks’ buying, ETF inflows, and a weak dollar fueled the rally. 
  ● Markets Falter Elsewhere: Asian equities dropped (MSCI Asia ex-Japan down ~0.8%), French stocks and euro weakened due to political disruption. 

Drivers Behind the Surge

• Political Strain & Fiscal Shock: France’s government collapse, Japan’s political shifts, and extended U.S. shutdown heighten systemic risk. 

• Fed Rate Cut Expectations: Anticipation of easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve is pushing investors toward non-yielding assets. 

• Dollar Weakness: As the dollar weakens, gold becomes more attractive in local currencies. 

How This Ties Into Global Financial Restructuring

• Safe-Haven Demand as a Signal: When capital flees toward gold at record levels, it broadcasts systemic mistrust in conventional financial and monetary structures.

• Gold as a Strategic Reserve: Central banks accumulating gold imply a hedging shift against fiat volatility, sovereign debt risk, and potential devaluation.

• Uncertainty Zones Become Financial Fronts: Political instability in powerful nations translates to stress in the global financial architecture — pushing investors and states toward alternative systems.

• Momentum for De-Dollarization: Weakness in the dollar and surges in gold support narratives that the dollar’s dominance is under structural assault.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Gold isn’t just glitter — it’s a canary in the coal mine for the cracks forming in the global financial order.
When gold breaks records amid political turbulence, the signal is clear: markets are testing the foundations.
This moment isn’t an anomaly — it’s a precursor to major structural shifts in reserve strategy, capital flows, and monetary topology.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Nigeria Eyes Debut Global Sukuk Implementation
Abuja turns to Islamic finance to stabilize borrowing costs and diversify funding sources.

Debt Strategy and New Instruments

• $500 Million Sovereign Sukuk: Nigeria is preparing its first global sukuk issuance — a Sharia-compliant bond — as part of its FY2025 borrowing plan.

• Broader Funding Mix: The government aims to raise up to $2.8 billion through new instruments, including Eurobonds and domestic issues, to fill fiscal gaps and refinance maturing debt.

• Why It Matters: Nigeria’s external debt servicing has become one of the fastest-growing budget items, straining reserves and pushing officials to seek non-traditional, interest-free funding streams.

Strategic Positioning in Global Finance

• Islamic Finance Hub Vision: Nigeria is positioning itself as West Africa’s first Islamic finance center, appealing to Middle Eastern and Asian investors seeking halal assets.

• Diversifying Beyond the Dollar: The sukuk initiative aligns with a wider move among emerging economies — especially within BRICS-aligned and Global South nations — to lessen reliance on dollar-denominated instruments.

• Fiscal Reforms Under Pressure: The Buhari and Tinubu administrations have pursued reforms under IMF watch, yet rising inflation (≈28%) and currency depreciation continue to erode fiscal flexibility.

Link to Global Financial Restructuring
Nigeria’s sukuk debut symbolizes a growing trend: monetary and debt diversification as nations hedge against the volatility of traditional Western-led systems.

• Emerging economies are turning to gold, digital assets, or Islamic finance to regain sovereignty.

• These tools provide insulation from sanctions, interest-rate shocks, and global liquidity crunches.

• As Nigeria joins this wave, it signals deeper participation in a multipolar credit system increasingly defined by regional blocs and non-Western capital.

Why This Matters
Nigeria’s entry into global sukuk markets marks more than a borrowing experiment — it’s an alignment with a new architecture of finance grounded in sovereignty and value-based credit systems.
If successful, this could set a precedent for other African economies to follow.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Japan Edges Toward Tokenized Finance: Prelude to Token Government Bonds?

While a full tokenized sovereign bond hasn’t launched yet, recent moves in Japan’s digital-asset infrastructure point toward that future.

Tokenization Signals & Infrastructure Moves

  • DCJPY Token Launch: Japan Post Bank is developing DCJPY — a tokenized version of the yen — to go live by 2026. This would offer instant settlement for digital securities and transactions. 
  • Japan–Korea Collaboration on Digital Bonds: The two countries are discussing cooperation to create digital bond frameworks. 
  • Active Token Use in Real Estate: Japan’s current tokenization is primarily in real estate and smaller issuance types, not yet sovereign debt. 

These steps are small but foundational — building the rails before issuing tokenized sovereign bonds.

Challenges & Preconditions

• Regulatory Clarity Needed: Legal frameworks around tokenized securities, custody, and compliance must be established.

• Liquidity & Market Depth: Tokenized bonds require sufficient demand to keep spreads tight and trading efficient.

• Technology & Interoperability: Blockchain networks used must integrate with existing capital markets infrastructure.

• Sovereign Backing & Trust: Tokenized bonds must retain the security and guarantees associated with government debt.

How This Ties Into Global Financial Restructuring

• Incremental Transition: Japan’s tokenization efforts are signs of gradual adoption of new financial rails, rather than abrupt revolutions.

• Diversifying Monetary Tools: Token sovereign bonds would allow programmatic features (payments, interest, conversions) and complement digital currencies like DCJPY.

• Reduced Friction in Capital Flows: Tokenization can lower costs, speed up settlement, and reduce reliance on correspondent banking.

• Sovereign Innovation: As more nations experiment, the architecture of sovereign credit and bond markets could shift toward programmable and modular formats.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

Japan hasn’t yet issued tokenized government bonds — but its recent moves suggest the foundational layers are now being laid.
These developments reflect the larger trend: countries building new financial infrastructures that could one day carry sovereign debt in digital form.
When tokenized sovereign debt becomes viable, it won’t just change issuance — it will recalibrate how capital travels globally and who holds leverage in the system.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

US Currency International Reset Explained

US Currency International Reset Explained

Edu Matrix:  10-8-2025

The world’s debt clock is ticking, and the numbers are staggering. As the United States grapples with a national debt closing in on an eye-watering $37 trillion, the financial stability of the global system hangs in the balance.

But what if the solution—or perhaps, the ultimate weapon—to manage this colossal sum wasn’t traditional economics, but a covert maneuver involving the very technology designed to bypass central control: cryptocurrencies and stablecoins?

A potentially paradigm-shifting claim, recently voiced by one of Vladamir Putin’s closest economic advisers at the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia, suggests just that.

The adviser’s message was clear and chilling: the United States, facing an unbearable debt load, is allegedly preparing to use digital assets as a clandestine tool for financial systemic reset.

The asserted strategy involves a massive financial engineering feat: shifting the $37 trillion debt into a ‘crypto cloud.’

On the surface, this sounds like a geopolitical conspiracy theory. However, the mechanism outlined is profoundly concerning for anyone holding U.S. dollars or Treasuries internationally.

The claim suggests the U.S. would use stablecoins and other digital assets to profoundly devalue its existing currency obligations, effectively resetting the financial playing field and forcing international debt holders—foreign governments, central banks, and global institutions—to bear the brunt of the fiscal damage.

In essence, it’s a non-military, full-spectrum financial attack disguised as innovation, aimed at wiping the slate clean at the expense of its global creditors.

If this claim were solely coming from a high-ranking Russian official, it might be dismissed as propoganda. But the narrative gains significant, almost terrifying, credibility when viewed through the lens of one of the crypto industry’s most respected and outspoken voices: Michael Saylor.

Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy and a maximalist proponent of Bitcoin, has long articulated a vision of impending currency debasement and a necessary financial reset.

While Saylor’s focus is typically on the superior store-of-value proposition offered by Bitcoin, his macro assessment of the global financial system aligns eerily well with the Russian adviser’s claim.

Saylor has repeatedly detailed how institutional maneuvers—including the introduction of digital assets—could lead to a massive devaluation of sovereign debt obligations.

The speaker in the original Edu Matrix analysis highlights Saylor’s perspective as not only comprehensible but highly credible. 

Saylor’s understanding of institutional finance, combined with his unparalleled insight into the integration of digital assets, provides a powerful framework for understanding how such a complex and destabilizing maneuver could actually be executed.

It’s the convergence of these two wildly disparate sources—a powerful geopolitical operative and a leading financial technologist—that transforms this concept from a fringe theory into a potential roadmap for global financial upheaval.

The core question isn’t if the financial system is undergoing stress, but how the world’s superpower might choose to navigate its unprecedented debt crisis. The use of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins offers a unique technological path to achieve a reset without firing a conventional s**t.

This concept is complex, involving the intersection of macroeconomics, stablecoin mechanics, and geopolitical strategy. To truly grasp the mechanisms that Saylor has articulated—mechanisms that give substance to the Russian adviser’s claim—further investigation is essential.

Understanding this potential financial maneuver is crucial for anyone with exposure to global markets, fiat currency, or digital assets.

Fiat Currency Experiment Ending Globally

Greg Hunter (with John Rubino): 10-8-2025

Analyst and financial writer John Rubino has been warning of a currency crisis for the last few years, but it’s not just the US dollar, euro or the yen. 

Almost every country has exploding unpayable debt, and there is not a fiat currency that is going to survive.  

Rubino explains, “If you watch the financial press, they are noting that the price of gold is going up, but they are treating it like any other asset.  Gold is humanity’s oldest form of money.  So, when it goes up in price, that means the currencies against we are measuring it are going down in value. 

What we are seeing all around the world is fiat currencies declining in value dramatically . . . especially against gold. 

Gold, just in the last couple of weeks, pierced not just its all-time nominal high, but its all-time inflation adjusted high.  This is a much bigger deal because we have had so much inflation in the last 30 or 40 years. 

Basically, gold is saying that the fiat currency experiment is ending. 

In other words, the monetary system that we set up in 1971 when we went off the gold standard . . . this led countries to create way too much debt, increase their spending dramatically and basically make all the mistakes that a human makes when you give them an unlimited credit card. 

Now, we are burdened with debt we cannot pay off, and people expect to be taken care of, and France is a good example of this.”

Almost every nation is facing the same crisis and same currency outcome.  Rubino contends, “Governments around the world are forced to borrow more and more money to cover the obligations they have taken on and to cover the interest costs on their debts. 

 That requires them to print more money, and that is lowering the value of the currencies even more quickly.  This basically will lead to a currency death spiral.  That’s where we are right now.”

Rubino likes physical gold, silver and mining stocks.  Rubino says, “The silver price will begin to outperform gold on a percentage basis.” 

Rubino also says, “. . .In order (for gold) to serve as the foundation for the next monetary system . . . as we did it in the classical gold standard that was in place up until WWI, if we went back to that, you would need a gold price at around $20,000 per ounce. 

You would need this to back all the currencies that are out there now. . . . If we keep doing what we are doing now, the fiat currencies would go to zero, which means gold would go to infinity.  

My guess on the future gold price is somewhere between $20,000 (per ounce) and infinity.”

Rubino also thinks artificial intelligence (AI) is both inflationary and deflationary.  He explains in the interview.

There is more in the 49-minute interview.

Gold Rise Signals Monetary Reset is Accelerating

Taylor Kenny:  10-7-2025

Gold is exploding to new all-time highs. The media is finally paying attention. But ask yourself: is it too late to buy gold? Or are we just seeing the beginning of something far more seismic?

Here’s the truth Wall Street won’t say out loud: this gold rally isn't driven by retail FOMO. It's the clearest sign yet that the global monetary reset is accelerating—and central banks know it.

Tishwash: Al-Sudani confirms the continuation of financial and banking reform.

 As part of its efforts to enhance transparency, consolidate governance, and enhance the credibility of state institutions before the international community, the government, headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, continues to implement comprehensive reforms based on applying best financial and administrative practices, combating corruption, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, contributing to building a modern national economy.

In this context, the Prime Minister received a delegation from KPMG, a global auditing and financial consulting firm, yesterday, Tuesday. They reviewed existing cooperation with the Iraqi banking sector, ways to support transparency, and enhance the country's financial reputation internationally.

Al-Sudani emphasized that banking reform has become a model of commitment and trust, praising the pivotal role of financial audit firms in consolidating governance and professionalism. He emphasized the importance of leveraging the company's expertise in restructuring government companies and raising their operational efficiency, managing public debt, and drafting contracts for major strategic projects.

He also affirmed the government's support for the Central Bank and the Trade Bank of Iraq to ensure the rapid completion of audit tasks in accordance with international standards and the timetable for issuing banks' final accounts.

Regarding administrative reform, the Prime Minister chaired the 40th regular session of the Council, during which he discussed the general situation and took the necessary decisions. In light of the unified report on violations of Law No. 28 of 2019 on the Cancellation of Financial Privileges for Officials, Al-Sudani directed all government agencies to comply with the law and return any excess vehicles or protection within seven days, while referring those who refrain from doing so to the Integrity Commission to ensure the protection of public funds and promote a culture of accountability.

The Council also voted to appoint (15) general managers in various government departments, while it decided to dismiss the Director of the Investments and Contracts Department at the Ministry of Electricity and transfer him to a lower level, based on performance evaluation. These decisions reflect the government's keenness to achieve administrative reform, enhance efficiency, and link responsibility to accountability, in line with the comprehensive objectives of the government's program for economic and financial reform. link

Gold and S&P 500 Peaking Together 6 Times in 2025 — A 1970s Echo of Financial Chaos?

Gold and S&P 500 Peaking Together 6 Times in 2025 — A 1970s Echo of Financial Chaos?

Daniela Cambone:  10-7-2025

In finance, conventional wisdom often holds that when stocks soar, safe havens like gold languish. They are supposed to be inverse reflections of economic confidence.

But what happens when both are hitting all-time highs simultaneously?

This rare and fascinating convergence was the subject of a recent, insightful discussion on the Della Kambon show at ITM Trading, featuring host Danny and guest Joel Litman, a finance professor and Chief Investment Strategist at Ultimatry.

Litman explains that this unprecedented dual peak—a phenomenon that has occurred only six times since the 1970s—is not a glitch in the simulation. It’s a powerful signal driven by fundamentally separate forces, demanding a new level of diversification from investors.

The simultaneous ascent of gold and the S&P 500 paints a contradictory picture of the current global economy:

Gold has experienced an explosive surge, rising 44% this year and nearing the significant milestone of $4,000 an ounce. This movement is a classic reflection of global fear and systemic uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has climbed 14% to set new records. This surge is predicated on a narrative of optimism surrounding U.S. corporate performance.

The contradiction resolves when you stop viewing the market as a single engine. Litman stresses that gold and stocks are being propelled by entirely different—but equally powerful—engines.

Gold is thriving because of global risk and instability. Stocks are thriving because of specific, idiosyncratic strength within the U.S. corporate sector.

“Gold is the hedge against global crisis and instability. Stocks are the reward for U.S. corporate innovation and strong earnings growth,” Litman explained.

A persistent critique of the current stock rally is that it’s purely dependent on a handful of mega-cap tech companies (the “Magnificent 7”). Litman thoroughly refutes this notion, providing evidence that the market’s strength is far broader than headlines suggest.

He revealed that over 400 stocks in the S&P 500 have more than doubled in value this year.

This breadth signals that the rally is robust and driven by genuine productivity gains across various sectors, not just concentrated momentum in tech giants. This reality opens up significant opportunities for selective stock pickers willing to look beyond the largest market caps.

Another source of investor confusion is the disconnect between mixed economic surveys (weak PMI, consumer spending concerns) and the strong performance of corporate earnings.

Litman clarifies that economic growth and corporate earnings growth are not synonymous. Many American companies can generate high economic profit even when the broader economy faces headwinds.

This resilience is largely attributed to the robust discretionary income of the U.S. consumer compared to consumers in other developed nations.

When assessing the risk of a prolonged bear market, Litman points to the historical precedence: bear markets almost always coincide with corporate credit crises.

Critically, the U.S. currently exhibits low credit risk. Conversely, Litman highlights that credit risks are perilously concentrated in China, where many companies—when reviewed under Western accounting standards—are barely profitable or effectively insolvent. This fundamental contrast supports a relatively optimistic view on the trajectory of U.S. equities.

The discussion also touched on global efforts to challenge the U.S. dollar’s dominance, including Russia’s financial strain and China’s strategic shifts, such as the proposed “China super monetary highway” involving gold trading in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.

While acknowledging these shifts, Litman remains skeptical that the complex structural and political hurdles facing these nations will allow them to unseat the USD’s dominance anytime soon.

The convergence of record-high gold and stocks is not a signal to panic, nor is it a sign to go all-in on one asset class. Instead, it underscores the profound importance of intelligent diversification.

This moment in history—where two opposing forces of the financial world hit their zenith together—is rare. It provides a unique opportunity for investors to hedge their global risks while capitalizing on the extraordinary strength and innovation of the U.S. corporate sector.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Unveils Plan to Replace the U.S. Dollar — While India Runs a Bold Gold Auction

Two concurrent moves from the bloc suggest an accelerating shift in monetary architecture and reserve strategy.

BRICS’ Bold Dollar Challenge

  ● Precious Metals Exchange Launch: At the 2025 Moscow Financial Forum, BRICS announced plans for a trading platform allowing countries to settle in gold, platinum, diamonds, and rare earths — sidestepping SWIFT and traditional commodity exchanges. 
  ● Resource Leverage: BRICS controls ~72% of rare earth reserves, anchoring their plan not on fiat alone, but on tangible assets. 
  ● Trade Bypass: As of now, ~68% of BRICS trade is alleged to bypass the dollar, and 90% of Russia–China trade occurs in local currencies. 
  ● Not a New Currency (Yet): Rather than founding a fresh fiat, BRICS seems to be constructing alternative rails and asset-backed exchanges to challenge dollar dominance. 

The strategy is not about sudden overthrow — it’s about building parallel systems that gradually erode dollar dependence.

India’s Gold Auction: Strategic Signal in Reserve Strategy

  ● Gold Auction Mechanism: The Central Bank of India holds auctions of pledged gold (from defaulted loans) through online platforms, recovering owed amounts. 
  ● Reserve Accumulation: The RBI added about 72.6 tons of gold in 2024, pushing India’s holdings toward 876 tons. 
  ● Dual Strategy: This auctioning (liquidation) coexists with aggressive accumulation — reflecting a dual posture of discipline and expansion in gold reserves. 
  ● Part of the Bloc Trend: India’s actions mirror a broader acceleration of gold acquisition by central banks within BRICS and beyond. 

India’s move is more than internal reserve management — it signals alignment with BRICS’ structural shift in monetary strategy.

How This Fits Into the Global Restructuring

• From Fiat to Asset Anchors: The shift from purely fiat systems toward gold- or resource-backed exchanges signals a redefinition of what constitutes money.

• Parallel Rails Over Revolution: Rather than overthrowing the dollar outright, BRICS is building alternatives (payment systems, commodity-based settlement, resource exchanges).

• Sovereignty Over Dependence: Nations using these new rails gain independence from U.S. sanctions, dollar volatility, and centralized financial control.

• Multipolar Monetary Architecture: These initiatives fragment the once-monolithic dollar regime, enabling a world where multiple reserve systems co-exist.

As these systems scale, capital, credit, and trade flows will gravitate toward those offering reliability, autonomy, and immunity from centralized leverage.

Why This Matters / Key Takeaway

BRICS’ unveiling of a precious minerals settlement exchange, paired with India’s assertive gold auction and reserve build, is not mere symbolism — it’s the architecture of a new financial order being erected.

These parallel rails and asset-anchored structures are extracting power from legacy systems and redistributing it across sovereign partners.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
