How the Dollar Became Money, and What Comes Next

How the Dollar Became Money, and What Comes Next

Heresy Financial:  9-15-2025

Have you ever really stopped to think about what money actually is? Most of us use it every day without a second thought, but its journey from primitive bartering to the digital currencies of today is nothing short of fascinating.

Heresy Financial’s insightful video recently took us on this incredible historical tour, emphasizing one constant truth: money is fundamentally the “most salable good” – something people accept as payment because they trust others will accept it too.

Imagine a world without money. Early societies operated on direct barter. If you had a surplus of fish and needed tools, you’d have to find someone with tools who also wanted fish. This is the infamous “coincidence of wants” problem, a massive inefficiency that severely limited trade and specialization.

To overcome this, communities began to adopt intermediary goods as proto-money. Salt, with its preservative qualities, and seashells, with their natural beauty and rarity, emerged as early candidates.

These were accepted because they had some inherent utility or desirability. However, they had their limitations: salt could perish, and shells could be too easily acquired, preventing them from forming truly stable monetary systems.

Gold became the ultimate “most salable good,” ushering in an era of more efficient trade and wealth accumulation.

Carrying heavy gold around, especially for large transactions or international trade, was cumbersome and risky. This led to the innovation of paper money, initially representing claims on gold deposits held in banks. This system greatly facilitated commerce, allowing for easier, safer transactions.

However, this convenience also laid the groundwork for a new challenge: fractional reserve banking. Banks realized they didn’t need to keep 100% of the gold deposited; they could lend out a portion, issuing more claims on gold than they actually possessed.

 While this stimulated economic growth, it also introduced inherent instability, leading to “boom-and-bust” cycles and devastating bank runs when too many people tried to redeem their gold at once.

Governments responded to this instability by nationalizing banks and establishing centralized authorities (central banks) to manage risks. While aiming for stability, this also consolidated immense power and introduced systemic vulnerabilities, leading to recurring financial crises.

The 20th century marked a profound shift. The U.S. government, for instance, confiscated gold from citizens in the 1930s, centralizing control. The Bretton Woods system, established after WWII, pegged other world currencies to the U.S. dollar, which itself remained redeemable for gold by foreign governments.

This changed dramatically in 1971 when President Nixon “closed the gold window,” severing the dollar’s convertibility to gold.

This ushered in the era of fiat money – currency declared legal tender by government decree, without intrinsic backing. Since then, money has become predominantly digital, managed through centralized ledgers controlled by banks and central banks.

This system, while efficient, comes with trade-offs: a lack of privacy for individuals and control concentrated in the hands of a few committees.

Ultimately, the video highlights Gresham’s Law, which suggests that when “bad money drives out good,” people tend to hoard more stable stores of value as trust in fiat currencies erodes. This could lead to a significant shift in what is collectively accepted as money.

The lesson is clear: money, in all its forms, remains the “most salable good.” In an increasingly complex financial world, the advice to diversify among different forms of money – whether traditional or emerging – seems more pertinent than ever.

For a deeper dive into the fascinating history and future of money, be sure to watch the full YouTube video from Heresy Financial. It’s an eye-opening exploration that will change how you think about the dollars, euros, or satoshis in your pocket.

Huge News From BRICS! Central Banks Will CHANGE EVERYTHING for Gold & Silver - Schectman & Rickards

Huge News From BRICS! Central Banks Will CHANGE EVERYTHING for Gold & Silver - Schectman & Rickards

Money Sense:  9-14-2025

The metals market is entering a phase where price action in the West tells one story, but global accumulation tells another.

 While paper contracts on COMEX and ETFs keep prices seemingly capped, the most prominent players in the world—central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and BRICS nations—are draining physical supply from every corner of the globe.

They suppress the visible price in Western markets while quietly securing massive tonnage elsewhere, creating an illusion of abundance that masks growing scarcity.

This divergence between paper markets and physical demand sets the stage for a sharp repricing once confidence in paper claims erodes.

 Andy Schectman, a veteran precious metals dealer with decades of experience tracking delivery flows, underscores how billions in silver and gold are standing for delivery each month, much of it leaving registrable vaults and moving into stronger hands.

 Jim Rickards, economist and author, frames this within the broader geopolitical chessboard: Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and India are building strategic reserves, not chasing short-term gains.

What’s unfolding is a silent, coordinated move away from paper promises toward tangible metal. The smartest money in the world—those who can move markets with nine-figure monthly purchases—aren’t guessing.

They’re executing a long-term playbook. For everyday investors, the signal is clear: physical ownership matters more than headline spot prices.

Paper markets can mislead, but supply and demand in the real world will eventually assert themselves.

 For decades, the gold market was shaped by central bank actions, shifting from heavy selling in the 1970s through the 2000s to consistent buying since 2010.

The U.S., the IMF, the U.K., Switzerland, and others sold thousands of tons at historic lows, which often marked long-term bottoms. But once selling stopped, a new trend emerged: net accumulation led by countries like China, Russia, Turkey, and others who see gold as both a hedge and a strategic asset.

This buying has created a floor under prices, as central banks purchase steadily and on dips, ensuring limited downside while leaving room for significant upside.

At the same time, supply has remained relatively flat at around 4,000 tons annually, while demand keeps rising. This simple dynamic—steady supply against growing demand—has become a key driver of higher prices.

Add to this the anchoring effect, where each $1,000 increment in gold feels smaller percentage-wise, and you have the recipe for a retail frenzy once prices accelerate into the five-digit range.

Frank26   Our [US House of Representatives] floor decided to tell you Iraq citizens you have to stand on your own two feet.  That means you have to use your own currency...exchange rate and no longer the exchange rate of the American dollar. Because you have used the exchange rate of the American dollar for over 20 years, there's no way in the world you're going to accept 1310 as your future to stand on because the whole monetary reform will simply come tumbling down...

COMEX Silver Just Faced Its Lehman Moment—This Is the Endgame | Andy Schectman

Two dollars Investing:  9-14-2025

COMEX just hit its Lehman moment.

74 million ounces of silver were demanded for delivery — the second largest spike ever recorded — and instead of settling in paper, buyers stood for real metal.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. For decades, Wall Street’s paper games kept silver suppressed. But when physical delivery overwhelms the system, confidence dies overnight.

 That’s what we’re seeing now: the paper silver market breaking down in real time.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sat. 13 September 2025

Compiled Sat. 13 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

The “Restored Republic via a GCR” narrative continues to unfold with breathtaking speed, bringing us closer to a world defined by financial freedom and sovereign prosperity.

The air is thick with anticipation, and the long-awaited Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the launch of NESARA/GESARA are now visibly in motion.

On January 1, 2026, the fiat Federal US Dollar will (allegedly) officially be obsolete, replaced by the gold/asset-backed US Treasury Note.

The long wait, the unwavering belief, the ridicule endured – it’s all leading to this moment. September 8, 2025, was not just a date; it was the day the balance of power began to shift back to the people. And as we stand on September 13, 2025, the promise of a truly Restored Republic is no longer a whisper, but a resounding reality.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and prepare for a future unlike anything we’ve ever known.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thurs. 11 Sept. 2025 Bruce The Big Call:

We have four confirmations that on Sat. 6 Sept. 2025 the new Dinar Rate (between $3.91 to mid $4.00) made it into the printed version of the Iraqi Gazette, making RV of the Dinar official.

The ZIM, Rupiah, and all other currencies have also revalued.

We are supposed to have the Dinar on the Forex front screens over the weekend.

A source said that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) could possibly get notified over weekend to set exchange/redemption appointments.

Another source said we would notified and start our exchange appointments early next week, like on Mon. 15 Sept.

Mon. 15 Sept. is when new UN Operational rates are posted and go into effect.

The EBS announcements could last up to five days.

Fri. 12 Sept. 2025 TNT:

Tony says the next basket will be ready by January. And there will be a third basket.

IMF says everyone is expecting to see this in the morning. He should get a call in the morning. Will be public Monday or Tuesday. They want to get us in starting tomorrow.

Iraq announced in the mosques that the new denoms will be coming out tomorrow and everyone will see Iraq as the strongest country in the region. The people laughed! They just don’t believe any more. But they were told this today.

Tony’s Iraq contractor confirmed the message in the mosque but says people don’t trust it.

None of the banks have told Tony they are scheduled to work this weekend. But that could be done in the morning. Tony has contacted high-level people for more information.

The (international) rate has come out at $5.96 for the IQD. Ray says the rate for Venezuela is still $.30 as far as he knows.

Militia Man   If you were to do a re-denomination, you’re going to need a revaluation first…  I believe Iraq is going to do a revelation, dropping the three zeros and then they’re going to re-denominate [with] lower denominations.  And they’re going to apply a real effective exchange rate to that.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FRANK:
Every day they tell them something about the monetary reform, about their banking system, about their currency, about their exchange rate, their cards, their accounts.  Every day.  Today they add on to it saying… FIREFLY:  They announce we can use the Iraqi dinar currency right now for P2P transactions. Something must have happened that we don’t understand… This is from the Middle East and all the way up to North Africa.  This is also used for PayPal, Venmo, Cash App etc.  Our currency can leave our borders very freely.  There are no restrictions…Our currency is about to add value because people will be using our currency.  FRANK:  Yeah!

“Gold Price Will Be $5-10,000 Before Most React To US Debt” | Mike Maloney & Alan Hibbard

9-12-2025

In this episode of the Gold Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard take us on a jaw-dropping journey through the U.S. national debt—currently north of $37 trillion and climbing by the second.

Brace yourself for stats that defy comprehension:

• You’d need nearly two years of work—without spending a dime—to clear your share of the debt.

 • Back in 1835, your share was less than a penny.

• Add unfunded liabilities, and that “share” could swell to a million dollars—per person.

• The only plausible “solution”? Inflate your way out of it. Gold and silver aren’t a “nice choice”—they’re sanity insurance.

If the soaring national debt keeps you up at night, this episode isn’t optional—it’s essential. Tune in, rethink everything, and ask yourself: “Am I going to wait—and pay more later—or hedge now?”

BRICS Buys 60,000 Ounces of Gold To Hammer USD

Trump Can’t Stop This: BRICS Buys 60,000 Ounces of Gold To Hammer USD

Vinod Dsouza  September 10,  Watcher Guru

BRICS member China is accumulating gold for 10 months straight and diversifying its reserves to strike at the USD. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) purchased 60,000 ounces of gold in August worth $215 million. Overall, China’s gold reserves have increased to $253.84 billion, making it 7.64% of its total foreign exchange reserves. The Communist country now holds 74.02 million ounces of gold in its reserves, according to the latest data from the country’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

BRICS Sidelines USD in Central Bank Reserves, Hoard on Gold

Not just China, other BRICS countries like India, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa have been steadily accumulating gold. The strategic gold accumulation by BRICS is a response targeting the USD due to geopolitical uncertainty. “China released data today showing that its central bank has increased its gold holdings for the tenth consecutive month,” said Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz chief economic advisor. He added that the development is “part of a broader risk diversification strategy,” with central banks increasingly favoring gold.

The latest data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) states that the central banks of BRICS countries have increased their gold purchases fivefold since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in an effort to cut ties with the US dollar. Even Donald Trump, who championed the ‘America First’ ideology, is unable to stop BRICS in this position. Developing countries are reducing US dollar-denominated assets like Treasuries and bonds in their reserves.

The gold-buying streak pushed the XAU/USD index to reach a high of $3,650 on Wednesday. It soared nearly 25 points in the day’s trading session by rising 0.65%. BRICS gained the most from the gold’s surge while cutting back on the USD-denominated debt. Speculations are rife that BRICS might back their upcoming currency with gold to challenge the US dollar. While Trump is targeting the alliance via trade, they are taking a different route to dim the lights on the US dollar.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 12 September 2025

Compiled Fri. 12 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

Have you felt the profound shift in the air? For years, whispers and theories have circulated about a monumental change on the horizon, a global reordering of financial and governmental systems. Today, as of Friday, September 12, 2025, those whispers are evolving into declarations, signaling the dawn of what many are calling the Restored Republic and the Global Currency Reset (GCR).

The most significant news comes directly from the top. On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, President Donald Trump reportedly (allegedly) declared: “For too long Americans and people of the World have been trapped in a broken financial system controlled by banks and manipulated by the Elite. That ends today. I am making it official. On Jan. 1 the Nesara Gesara Framework goes into effect.”

This statement (allegedly) heralds the implementation of the National Economic Security and Reformation Act (NESARA) and its global counterpart, GESARA – frameworks designed to usher in an era of economic justice and sovereignty.

As we prepare for this new era, an immediate transition period is outlined. Reports from Trump Supporters on Telegram indicate an Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Alert (allegedly) went out on Thursday, September 11, 2025.

The core of this financial transformation is the Quantum Financial System (QFS). According to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram, “The Reset is not coming. It has begun.” The QFS, alongside XRP and Stellar, is now (allegedly) activating structured payouts, fundamentally reshaping the global monetary landscape.

The ZIM Dollar, once dismissed, is described as the “most powerful financial weapon on Earth” in this new paradigm.

The QFS is not just a new payment system; it’s a complete dismantling of the “cabal’s economy of debt.” Utilizing quantum computing and AI, it promises real-time fraud prevention, a decentralized structure free from central bankers, and backing by physical assets like gold and oil.

NESARA (allegedly) provides the legal framework for this new era, outlining debt forgiveness, tax abolition, and the establishment of fair markets. XRP and Stellar serve as the digital highways connecting humanity to the QFS grid.

The revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar is highlighted as a critical trigger, allowing nations to(allegedly)  break free from traditional banking systems and revalue their currencies, with Iraq’s vast oil reserves playing a significant role.

“This is not theory. It is war,” states the report, emphasizing the collapse of the fiat empire and the Alliance’s installation of a future built on transparency, sovereignty, and humanitarian power.

As of September 2025, the world stands at the precipice of an unprecedented shift. The old world’s embers are fading as the Quantum Financial System rises, promising a gold-backed era of freedom and prosperity. Your role, whether as a ZIM or Dinar holder, or simply a citizen of the world, is tied to this explosive transformation.

The choice is yours. The time is now.

Wed. 10 Sept. 2025 FEDERAL RESERVE FRAUD: THE DOLLAR WAS NEVER LEGAL! THE BIGGEST LIE IN FINANCIAL HISTORY …@MedBedsTechnologyNews

A leaked memorandum from 1974 reveals what the Federal Reserve never wanted you to know: After the gold standard was abolished, the U.S. dollar became nothing more than a paper contract. Every dollar printed since then is an empty promise — with no real value behind it.

Since that day, $200 TRILLION have been stolen through inflation, banking manipulations, and debt traps. Your salary. Your savings. Your future — devoured by a system that was never legal in the first place.

The document admits: “If the public learns the truth, confidence in the dollar will collapse within one day.”

WHAT THIS MEANS:
• Every debt tied to the dollar is fraud.
• Every tax paid in dollars is extortion.
• The entire global economy is built on a paper lie.

Militia Man The Iraqi dinar, is it real?  Of course  it is.  It's completely real...Some of you folks always ask, 'Why did you get into this?' ...I did research to get to my decision to buy the Iraqi dinar.  One of the thing I found was an IMF 198 page document...It was $3.22. That was Iraq's currency based off oil. Today we have non-oil resources... New  banking...  new technology...new natural resources they found.  All of those types of things come into play because that's where valuation comes into.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:

The Dollar’s 99% Collapse vs. Gold

Wealthion:   9-10-2025

Gold has long been revered as a safe haven, but in 2025, it’s not just holding its own – it’s absolutely soaring. Breaking records and experiencing its best run since the pivotal year of 1979, the precious metal is signaling a critical shift in how investors are protecting their wealth.

This isn’t just a fleeting trend; it’s a direct response to some of the most pressing economic challenges of our time.

In the face of such formidable headwinds, investors are flocking to gold as a tangible, immutable asset – a beacon of stability in turbulent times.

In a recent, must-watch conversation from Wealthion’s Gold Interview Series this month, Brett Rentmeester, Founder and Managing Director at Windrock Wealth Management, joined host Maggie Lake to delve into this very phenomenon.

Silver Explosion Destroys Babylon’s Financial System

Greg Hunter with Bo Polny:

9-11-2025

At the beginning of this year on USAWatchdog, Biblical cycle timing expert, geopolitical and financial analyst Bo Polny said, “Get ready for a wild ride in 2025 and beyond.” The world is going mad.  

Polny has a new warning that September 2025 is going to bring a huge market event that will end the financial system as we know it. 

Polny explains, “Silver, this time around, is not just going to go through $50 per ounce, it’s going to go through it like a hot knife through butter.  It’s going to go to $60 then $70, and then it’s going to three digits very shortly.

 What is about to happen are incredible price moves.  This is the end of the Babylonian financial system. . .. They used the money to build Babylon. 

\What is Babylon?  It’s a control system. . .. We are about to see an explosion that is going to blow people’s minds on what is about to happen.  Silver is going to go to numbers unthinkable.  Silver has been prophesized to be the metal, the thing that is going to change people’s financial position forever.”

Polny also predicts, “The war cycle ends on September 21.  The wars are about to come to an end.  I don’t care if people are saying wars come next year and that there is going to be a nuclear conflict. 

They are all going to be 1,000% wrong because the Biblical cycle ends at the end of September and beginning of October. The September date is in my book.  You can’t stop what is coming.  You can only prepare for what is coming. 

 When this move in gold and silver happens, they will finally break free of generations of price manipulation and suppression.  This will be the destruction of the banking cartel.”

There is much more in the 93-minute in-depth interview.

Jeff  The news is becoming so real that its is so blatantly obvious that the rate is probably changing in the second half of September...You're seeing the most critical information in this you ever have.

Frank26  The dinar is backed by gold...and so many other things.  It's ridiculous the value.  The fact that we [Frank and Firefly] are talking about the float tells me the monetary reform has done a good job about educating the Iraqi citizens on all the steps that are required for the reform to come out to them, to release the new exchange rate.  That's exactly where we find ourselves right now, waiting for the new exchange rate for everything to make sense.

Militia Man  Now that they're able to do contracts with e-signatures and they are able to trade with the dinar globally that will draw in the money...faster and faster.  I think that's what [they're] telling us is taking place because of a new mechanism.  So bring in your cash into the bank, you'll be able to do digital transactions for commercial trade internationally in dinar.  That's what I believe [they're] saying.  That's my theory.

Bond Market Cracks: Your Money at Risk!

Lynette Zang:  9-10-2025

Bond yields are surging, confidence is collapsing, and history is repeating itself. Just like 1971, political pressure and central bank manipulation are pushing us toward hyperinflation.

 Gold is breaking records, silver is racing higher, and the system is cracking. How have you prepared for the reset?

Metals Going Parabolic: "This Is The Time" | Andy Schectman

Metals Going Parabolic: "This Is The Time" | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  9-8-2025

Miles Franklin president & CEO Andy Schectman returns to discuss why gold’s surge to record highs is less about gold rising and more about currencies collapsing.

He warns that U.S. debt levels and money printing are destroying confidence in the dollar, while central banks are hoarding gold instead of Treasuries. Heavy COMEX deliveries and short squeezes in silver highlight the growing stress in paper markets. With global bond markets rejecting rate cuts and U.S. jobs data showing weakness, Schectman sees stagflation ahead.

Are you feeling the tremors in the global financial landscape? What many consider normal market fluctuations might, in fact, be the early signs of a profound monetary reset, a once-in-a-half-century rotation of capital that could dramatically reshape our economic future.

A recent, comprehensive discussion featured on Liberty and Finance, with Andy Shakman, CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, unpacks these critical shifts. His insights paint a vivid picture of a world where the US dollar’s dominance is waning, and precious metals are emerging as the ultimate safe haven.

Forget the headlines that simply cheer gold’s near-record highs. Shakman clarifies that this isn’t merely a bullish rally for gold itself; it’s a stark reflection of widespread currency depreciation worldwide.

The value of the US dollar, alongside other fiat currencies, is eroding, and gold is simply holding its own as a true store of value.

This phenomenon is dramatically underscored by the actions of foreign governments and central banks. They are increasingly divesting from US treasuries and accumulating gold at an unprecedented pace. This isn’t just a strategic shift; it signals a profound and growing lack of confidence in the dollar’s stability and the sustainability of US debt.

This isn’t just about the dollar; it’s about the questionable stability of traditional asset classes. Stocks, bonds, and even real estate, once considered pillars of wealth, are facing unprecedented volatility and inflation risks.

 In response, Andy Shakman points to a growing trend: the physical hoarding of silver and gold. Individuals and institutions are seeking tangible assets that can weather an inflationary and unstable economic environment.

The mainstream financial media, Shakman argues, has largely failed to adequately address these transformative monetary trends. Yet, the signs are all around us, pointing to a converging series of economic shifts that demand attention.

The message is clear: diversified investment strategies emphasizing gold and silver are no longer niche; they are increasingly essential wealth preservation tools.

 This isn’t just another market cycle; it’s a fundamental re-evaluation of value and risk on a global scale.
