Is GOLD The ONLY Thing That Will SURVIVE The Global Debt CRISIS? - Matthew Piepenburg
In this latest interview, Matthew Piepenburg discusses how the global debt crisis, particularly U.S. sovereign debt, is driving both inflation and gold prices higher, while explaining how BRICS nations are gradually moving away from dollar dependence.
He argues that while the U.S. won't lose its reserve currency status immediately, the combination of debt, currency debasement, and BRICS nations' increasing oil trades outside the dollar system will continue to strengthen gold's position as a long-term store of value.
