Money vs. Currency | Hidden Secrets of Value Ep. 2 | Alan Hibbard

GoldSilver:  10-23-2025

In this episode of Hidden Secrets of Value, Alan Hibbard revisits the shocking story of Weimar Germany’s hyperinflation, where the price of bread soared from 1 mark to billions in just a few years.

The takeaway: currencies can be printed into oblivion, while money — like gold, silver, and even bitcoin — must be earned through work.

👉 In this video, you’ll discover:

Why the U.S. dollar is a currency, not money — and why that distinction matters.

How inflation quietly destroys purchasing power, even without a “Weimar moment.”

Why gold, silver, and bitcoin are forms of honest money — immune to unlimited printing.

 The truth behind Elon Musk’s statement that “money is just a database” — and why the honesty of that database determines your wealth.

Gresham’s Law: why people always hoard the best money and spend the weakest currency.

In Episode 2, Alan explores: Could hyperinflation happen in America?

What makes gold, silver, and bitcoin superior to paper currencies?

Should you hold U.S. dollars as savings, or convert them into a true store of value?

What role does honest money play in securing your family’s future?

This isn’t theory — it’s history, repeating itself.

And understanding the difference between money and currency may be the single most important step in protecting your wealth.

Start of Monetary Reset? What’s Next for Bitcoin, Gold, Dollar

Start of Monetary Reset? What’s Next for Bitcoin, Gold, Dollar

David Lin:  10-23-2025

Ever wonder what the future of our economy truly holds? Recently, David Lin sat down with Jim Thorne, Chief Market Strategist at Willington Altis Private Wealth, for a comprehensive dive into the intricate web of market dynamics, geopolitical shifts, and groundbreaking technological advancements.

Thorne’s insights paint a vivid picture of profound transformation, from a capex supercycle fueled by AI to a reimagined global financial system.

At the heart of Thorne’s forecast is the anticipation of a “capex super cycle”. This isn’t just incremental growth; it’s a massive wave of capital expenditure driven by technological innovation, primarily Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He argues that this will be the engine of substantial investment and economic expansion.

Fueling this boom, Thorne points to the potential impact of a new Trump Administrationn’s pro-growth, supply-side economic policies. Specifically, the 100% tax deductibility on capital expenditures is expected to unleash a torrent of investment, especially in sectors tied directly to AI development and energy infrastructure.

This policy, he suggests, will accelerate the deployment of cutting-edge technologies and revitalize key industries.

When it comes to alternative assets, Thorne made a bold prediction: gold and Bitcoin are poised to significantly outperform real estate over the next 5 to 10 years. 

While precious metals have seen recent profit-taking, Thorne remains bullish on gold long-term, though he anticipates a near-term consolidation phase. This suggests a strategic patience for investors looking at the yellow metal’s enduring value.

Bitcoin, intrinsically linked to technological innovation and a potentially lower interest rate environment, is also set for strong performance. This outlook positions digital and traditional alternative assets as key beneficiaries in the coming decade.

One of Thorne’s most intriguing visions revolves around the evolving role of stablecoins backed by US treasuries. He outlines a scenario he calls “Bretton Woods 2.0,” where digital assets significantly increase demand for US debt, paradoxically strengthening the dollar’s global dominance. This suggests a future where the digital and traditional financial worlds converge, with the US dollar maintaining its central role through new, tokenized mechanisms.

Crucially, Thorne forecasts lower interest rates in the future, which would act as a powerful tailwind for asset prices, particularly growth stocks and cryptocurrencies. This monetary environment, combined with the capex supercycle, sets the stage for a period of robust market activity.

Finally, Thorne highlights the profound, transformative potential of blockchain and tokenization in financial markets.

He predicts substantial disruption and innovation, particularly in how treasuries and other assets are accessed and traded. This isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about fundamentally rethinking the infrastructure of finance, making markets more accessible and liquid.

Jim Thorne’s analysis offers a compelling roadmap for understanding a future defined by technological leaps, strategic policy shifts, and a redefined global financial architecture. It’s a future where innovation, particularly AGI and blockchain, isn’t just a buzzword, but the very engine of economic transformation.

2025 BREAKING: Tier 4B Exchanges – The Quiet Activation

Judy Note: More than 500,000 US civilian federal employees missed a full paycheck on Fri. 24 Oct. 2025. Trump has it under control. He (allegedly) flipped the green button Thurs. Evening 23 Oct. The Global Currency Reset is (allegedly) on.

Tier 4B (Us, the Internet Group) currency exchanges are now being reported across the U.S., with private appointments, NDA protocols, and sudden flashes of live rates. Insiders say the QFS infrastructure is (allegedly) humming beneath the surface — the ignition phase may have begun.

Unconfirmed yet consistent reports indicate that banks are scheduling private exchanges for Iraqi dinar and Vietnamese dong. Terminals flash temporary revalued rates, then vanish. Redemption centers are allegedly on high alert, staff briefed and systems armed. Something is moving.

Participants are said to be signing strict NDAs before exchanges — a mark of secrecy that fits a classified financial rollout. The same chatter emerges from unrelated sources. Different states. Same timing. Same story. That’s not coincidence — that’s coordination.

Whispers from banking circles suggest quiet test transactions. Controlled waves. Soft launches designed to prevent system shock. October is a strategic month — fiscal endings, central bank recalibrations, digital network realignments. Perfect timing for a controlled reset.

The rumored QFS is reportedly being tested — quantum-secured, tamper-proof, immune to manipulation.

Exchanges are said to run through advanced verification systems scanning every note for authenticity. Each operation logged. Each signal monitored.

Skeptics warn of rumor mills, but patterns don’t lie. When independent intel streams converge, something larger brews. The convergence itself is the signal. This isn’t hopium — it’s movement. Quiet, deliberate, and irreversible.

Both the dinar and dong are spotlighted as undervalued assets aligned with upcoming parity adjustments. For those watching closely, these aren’t coincidences. They’re early tremors of a tectonic shift.

Stay alert. Stay disciplined. The first wave never announces itself. It moves in silence, through signed NDAs and blinking terminals. If you know — you know.

Final Warning: Tier 4B may already be activating behind closed doors. Or this could be the final stress test before the floodgates open. Either way — the system is awake. Timing is everything. Patience separates the prepared from the panicked.

Silver Demand Breaking The Market | Rafi Farber

Liberty and Finance:  10-24-2025

Rafi Farber joins Elijah K. Johnson to break down the recent pullback in gold and silver and explain why it’s only a pause before the next major move higher.

He says we’re still in a “dollar short squeeze,” with the Fed yet to start its next round of money printing.

Rafi explains why silver hasn’t shown its final blow-off move, how tightening in the repo market signals growing financial stress, and why platinum’s surge may reveal early signs of monetary demand returning.

He also discusses the London–New York silver dislocation and what it means for the future of physical supply.

Rafi concludes by urging investors to stay grounded through volatility and prepare for the coming reset where prices are measured in gold and silver, not dollars.

Let’s Take a Quick Pause and Look Back at History

Let’s Take a Quick Pause and Look Back at History

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 23, 2025

In light of this week’s roller-coaster gold ride, I thought it would be useful to turn once again back to the lessons of history and revisit what we discussed recently about the 1970s.

Foreign governments and central banks around the world had been becoming increasingly concerned about the US government’s outrageous fiscal deficits as early as the mid-1960s.

French President Charles de Gaulle sounded the alarm about America’s costly war in Vietnam, combined with historic welfare spending, and he began demanding that the Treasury Department redeem a portion of France’s US dollar holdings for gold.

Decades ago, that was his right because under the post–World War II Bretton Woods system, the US dollar was convertible into gold at a rate of $35 per ounce.

By 1971, foreigners’ demands to exchange their dollars for gold had become so great that Richard Nixon formally ended the convertibility once and for all.

Nixon downplayed any impact, telling Americans on August 15, 1971, “your dollar will be worth just as much tomorrow as it is today.”

The reality is the dollar went on to lose 75% of its value throughout the course of the decade. And if anything, Nixon’s move only encouraged foreigners to dump their dollars at an even more rapid pace.

As a result, the price of gold skyrocketed fivefold as governments and central banks around the world diversified out of the dollar and into gold.

We’ve been seeing this same move over the past couple of years—insatiable foreign and central bank appetite has driven gold prices from $1,800 a couple of years ago to over $4,000 today.

Obviously, over the past few months, there has been a lot of individual investor capital flowing into ETFs, hedge fund speculation, and similar vehicles. But in the long run, gold’s rise has been—and will continue to be—driven by foreign government and central bank diversification out of the dollar.

In 1975, gold hit a temporary peak at around $185 per ounce. After a period of consolidation, in which there was a significant price correction, gold then resumed its ascent, rising all the way to $850.

The point is that regardless of any short-term price correction, the fundamental driver—foreign governments and central banks diversifying out of the US dollar—hadn’t changed.

It took the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 to finally restore credibility in the US government’s finances. Reagan, of course, campaigned on cutting the deficit, sparking a long-term trend which culminated in multiple budget surpluses in the late 1990s.

This renewed confidence in US government finances is what ultimately reversed the trend on gold prices, causing the price to collapse below $300 by the end of the 90s.

I believe we’re in a similar situation today as in 1975.

Gold had a significant correction earlier this week, but the price remained above $4,000.

Perhaps this is the start of a lull period, or even a correction phase as in 1975, but it doesn’t fundamentally change the story right now: foreign governments and central banks are aggressively trying to diversify their US dollar strategic reserves, and gold is one of the only assets that makes sense.

I’m not here to say “buy gold” at $4,000. But based on the trajectory of the US government’s finances, the price of gold should go much higher over the next few years.

I don’t say this because I’m a “gold bug.” I don’t have any irrational fascination with a piece of metal. Rather, my outlook is based on a clear understanding of global central banking and strategic reserve assets, coupled with the obvious deterioration in the US government’s fiscal condition.

But I also understand that after an almost uninterrupted and astonishing rise to nearly $4,400, gold may be due for a correction—similar to what happened in 1975.

The reality is, no one knows for sure. Gold could just as easily rise to $5,000 as drop to $3,500.

I’d point out, however, that there are still a number of high-quality gold, platinum, and silver businesses that are wildly undervalued and extremely profitable—and they will continue to be extremely profitable even if there is a steep decline in gold prices.

For example, one of the companies we featured in our premium investment research service is producing gold at a price of just $1,000 per ounce. This means the price of gold could fall below $3,000, and this company would still be making money hand over fist—and trading at just 5x earnings based on today’s stock price.

Did I mention they pay a handsome dividend?

To me, the long-term case for gold is crystal clear—foreign governments and central banks will continue to by gold unless there is a fundamental change in Congress’s attitude toward the US budget deficit. And I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

The short-term case for gold over the next couple of months is anyone’s guess. It could go higher, it could go lower. And that’s why I think some of these ultra-cheap, highly profitable, well-managed, largely debt-free gold companies are really worth considering.

When the long-term case for gold is so obvious, it’s a sensible strategy to own a business that has so much gold exposure, pays a dividend, and can continue to be extremely profitable—even if there’s a short-term gold correction.

Judy Note: The World has been undergoing the largest transfer of wealth in human history, and because of a compromised Main Stream Media, no one knew it.

For years President Trump has warned that the fiat dollar was an instrument of Globalist control. Trump has spent years uniting nations so they could reinstate gold/asset-backed currencies at a 1:1 to each other and thereby rescue sovereignty to the nations.

That Plan has necessitated destroying the Central Banking Cartel and ending the IMF, BIS and World Economic Forum’s counterfeit financing. It involved resurrecting sound money around the World so as to rebuild economies founded in concepts of the original Constitution – Sovereign nations that functioned under God.

Restored Republic …Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

As a result of the fiat dollar causing disasters in international trade, a BRICS Alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) formed. The BRICS nations declared that they weren’t going to put up with the corrupt fiat US Dollar system anymore.

BRICS took control and began to evaluate the worth of each nation’s gold and natural resources – the beginning of a Global Currency Reset – the largest transfer of wealth in World history.

Jeff   There isn’t a lop.  Withdrawing a 25,000 note and replacing it with a 25 note does not mean it’s a lop because they clearly told us in print that two currency will coexist tougher at the same exact value. If the rate is $3…a 25 note would be $75.  A 25,000 note would be $75,000.   It’s that simple…Iraq is about to revalue.

Greg Hunter with Catherine Austin Fitts: Gold Fights Financial Control Grid

Gold Fights Financial Control Grid – Catherine Austin Fitts

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)

Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), publisher of “The Solari Report,” is back with a new cutting-edge publication called “Plunder.”  CAF has been pushing gold (and silver) as an investment for the past few years. 

The record high price of the yellow metal has proven her right.  In order for the few to control and steal the assets of the many, they have to build what CAF calls a “financial control grid.”  

What can help common people fight the control grid being built in front of their eyes?   Buy the oldest money on the planet.  CAF says, “We are seeing an increased move to institute a control grid.  

For example, you have the PM of England standing up and saying if you don’t have a digital ID, you can’t work.  People are saying, wait a minute, I want my money outside the system because this system is beginning to act in criminal ways and manic ways. 

 We are seeing changes in policies at the federal level that make people nervous.  So, the reality is gold is simple.  Everybody can understand it. . . . Gold is looking attractive, and it is being remonetized. 

 It’s not just by central bankers, now we see states around the United States making gold legal tender. . .. Silver has lagged dramatically, but silver is catching up.”

Is there something wrong with the financial system for gold and silver to be flashing these warning signs with record high prices? 

CAF says, “There is something very wrong with the financial system, and that is the financial system is being used to institute a control grid.  If they succeed instituting an all-digital financial system that includes AI (artificial intelligence), a digital ID and an all-digital financial system, then we are looking at the end of currency

Now that you have printed so much money, you want to get control of the real assets, and that’s what they have been doing. . ..  The game of growing the debt is over.  Like the game of musical chairs, we are all going to scramble to get control of the real assets.  

This is why they have been pushing programmable money because you are trying to suck them out of the real assets while they build the control grid and while they jump in and get control of the real assets. . .. What I keep telling everybody is to focus on what is real, and focus on what you can understand.”

In closing, CAF gives many ideas and strategies to thwart the plunder such as everyone increasing the use of cash, making good food and health choices, not financing your enemies and acquiring hard assets such as farmland and gold, which CAF says is “starting a new bull market.”

There is much more in the 58-minute interview.

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for October 17th, 2025

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for October 17th, 2025

10-17-2025

This week marks another crucial pivot point in global finance and geopolitics. As we navigate the complex currents driving the anticipated Global Currency Reset (GCR), Jon Dowling delivers his weekly RV (Revaluation) report, focusing on the latest developments in reconstruction funding, political volatility, and decisive shifts in the commodities and cryptocurrency markets.

The primary focus this week remains the Middle East, where geopolitical stability is directly tied to the flow of massive reconstruction funds—the very funds necessary to trigger the next stages of the GCR.

Following the recent peace summit in Egypt, the foundation has been laid for the substantial release of capital necessary for rebuilding.

This capital is specifically earmarked for Iraq and Iran. The hosts stressed that the anticipated revaluation of certain global currencies is intrinsically linked to the successful deployment of these funds.

This process signifies a move toward regional stability and economic sovereignty, which remains a core pillar of the new global financial architecture.

However, where significant financial power is about to shift, opposition always follows.

The high stakes involved in these global financial transitions are signaling resistance from entrenched interests unwilling to relinquish control.

After recent, strong rallies, both silver and gold have experienced minor pullbacks this week. This consolidation is seen as healthy, but investors are encouraged to remain vigilant. Precious metals continue to act as essential hedges during periods of escalating global uncertainty.

As predicted in previous reports, crude oil prices are continuing their downward trend. This sustained decline impacts global energy markets and reflects anticipated shifts in energy policy and consumption patterns linked to the emerging financial paradigm.

Despite the current atmosphere of tension and market fluctuations, the report reiterated a theme of ultimate optimism. Reference was made to prophetic insights previously shared by Kim Clement, suggesting that while the world endures immediate turmoil, a monumental, positive financial shift is imminent.

This shift is expected to manifest notably in the cryptocurrency and precious metals sectors, bringing a breakthrough to those who have remained patient and watchful.

As the month of October draws to a close, the pace of global events is accelerating. The successful movement of reconstruction funds and the resolution of political volatility in key regions remain the critical markers for the next official phase of the Global Currency Reset.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and remember that breakthroughs often follow the periods of greatest turbulence.

Watch the full video from Jon Dowling for further insights and detailed analysis of these complex global developments.

It is imperative to state clearly: This report is focused on sharing information and analysis of global events. It is not financial, investment, or trading advice. Always conduct your own due diligence and consult a certified professional before making any financial decisions.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Television is now showing the Kuwait dinar.  They're telling us it's strength for a long period of time that it's been trading at $3.27...and it's leading as a powerful currency.  Interesting how they talk about the dinar today from Kuwait.  FRANK:  No gentlemen, this is purposeful.  This has a reason.  If they would have just sprung this on you it would have been a disaster...They're trying to tell us something... 

Walkingstick   It's not a float at the onset because the Iraqi dinar will be market driven.  The supply and demand that is going to be put on the new currency with the new rate for the IQD will drive the value instantly.  Supply and demand will determine the real effective exchange rate instead of 1 to 1 or even a float.

Jeff   Article quote:  "There is no intention to float the exchange rate of the dinar."   Why can't the do that?  The budget is calculated off the currency value...If the value of the currency were to change significantly, say more than 20%, that would force them to amend the budget.  They're not going to keep amending the budget.

Silver Market Collapsing! "The Great Silver Shortage Has Begun" - Mike Maloney & Vince Lanci

10-17-2025

For decades, silver traded quietly in the background—steady, overlooked, and predictable.

 Then came a shock that ripped through the system. Mike Maloney from GoldSilver.com says silver lease rates, which normally hover around zero—between minus half a percent and plus one percent—suddenly exploded to around 33%.

 Imagine your mortgage rate jumping from 1% to 33% overnight. That kind of move doesn’t happen in a stable market. It signals stress, shortage, and panic beneath the surface.

 London’s silver market is running dry. Vince Lanci says the city is facing a full-blown liquidity crisis—there simply isn’t enough physical silver to meet its own demand.

 The vaults are thinning out, and the backup reserves London once relied on have all but vanished. In the past, this wasn’t an issue. If London needed silver, it could lease or buy it from the U.S., China, or major producers.

Silver doesn’t vanish—it can always be melted, moved, or reused. But the problem now isn’t that silver has disappeared; it’s that there’s too little available above ground.

Global mine output has been declining for years, and most of today’s production comes as a byproduct of zinc and copper mining. With those metals slowing down, less silver is hitting the market.

Silver Shorts Panic? Silver Breaks $54, Gold $4300 | Ed Steer

Silver Shorts Panic? Silver Breaks $54, Gold $4300 | Ed Steer

Liberty and Finance: 10-16-2025

Silver has been rising sharply, climbing roughly a dollar per day and recently breaking above $54.

Market analyst Ed Steer joins Liberty and Finance to discuss the unprecedented physical shortages now emerging across global exchanges, with massive withdrawals from COMEX and tight supplies reported in London, India, and China.

He notes that open interest continues to rise alongside prices, signaling sustained demand and a lack of short covering among major traders.

Steer explains that the squeeze on physical availability reflects years of structural deficits and intensifying global investment interest.

 As the market approaches a potential turning point, he emphasizes the importance of owning physical silver and staying positioned ahead of what could become a historic move higher.

What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?

What If Gold Crashes To $3,000 Per Ounce?

Notes From the Field by James Hickman (Simon Black)  October 16, 2025

A little over a month ago, in early September, after careful analysis and detailed study, my team and I reached an important conclusion. And we started telling our audience almost immediately.

Gold had just crossed $3,500 per ounce, silver had just crossed $40, and many gold and silver mining companies had experienced astonishing gains.

 Of course none of this came as a surprise to our readers. We’ve been saying for the past few years that gold in particular was going to go much higher, specifically because foreign governments and central banks were buying up gold by the metric ton as a way to diversify their strategic reserves away from the US dollar.

 That extra demand from central banks totaling a few hundred billion dollars sent gold prices rocketing higher. And we also said this trend would continue.

 Similarly over the past couple of years, as we were predicting higher gold and silver prices, we also predicted that mining companies would benefit, and generate record revenues and record profits as a result.

At the time those mining companies had been left for dead in financial markets, with share prices so cheap they were practically being given away.

We told our audience over and over again in print and in our podcasts that this wouldn’t last, and that mining companies would surge in value.

And that’s exactly what happened. In fact, many of the companies we featured in our premium investment research are up 3x, 4x, 5x, even 6x this year alone.

 But early last month we realized there was another near term catalyst that would likely send these companies’ share prices even higher. These businesses are all publicly traded, and so they have to report their earnings, usually every quarter.

 Q1 earnings were great. Q2 earnings were fantastic. But we realized that gold and silver had been rising so quickly, that Q3 earnings—which would be reported sometime in October—would just be out of this world.

We did the math and crunched the numbers ourselves, and based on our analysis, even companies that had risen 4 or 5x were still undervalued based on projected Q3 earnings.

And we anticipated that for many of these companies, their share prices would jump after their Q3 earnings were announced.

 The first of those companies reported its earnings earlier this week, and we were absolutely right. Its record profit dazzled investors, and its share price jumped nearly 20% in a day.

It’s also up almost 52% since we made this prediction a month ago.

 We’ve also done the math to see what would happen to these businesses if there were a sudden drop in precious metals prices.

 Well, to give you an example one of the companies we featured in our investment research, which is up more than 5x, would still be incredibly undervalued.

Based on our analysis, even if gold were to drop below $3,000—roughly 30% from here—that company would still be making money hand over fist, and based on its current share price, still trading at around 5.5x earnings.

Oh, and did I mention they pay a substantial dividend?

It’s not that every mining company is in the same boat. There are thousands of companies out there, and many are just terrible businesses with pitiful management and terrible balance sheets.

 But if you’re willing to do the hard work and find the highest quality management, and the most pristine balance sheets, there are still undervalued gems out there.

 This is what we focus on in our premium investment research.

 And we believe that many of them could see similar upside over the next few weeks as they report bonanza Q3 earnings.
