GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming

GENIUS ACT Triggered, Biggest Bank Run in History is Coming

Daniela Cambone:  11-4-2-25

The recent pullback in gold and silver prices has led some to believe the bull market has run its course. However, macro strategist Garrett Goggin, in a compelling discussion on the Daniela Cambone show with ITM Trading, argues a different narrative: this bull market is not only far from over, it’s merely in its nascent stages.

Goggin’s thesis is rooted in a fundamental shift in global dynamics, driven by forces unlike those seen in previous cycles. The primary catalyst? Unprecedented central bank demand for physical gold.

In an increasingly volatile world, central banks are actively hoarding gold as a safer haven than the US dollar.

 Goggin points to the weaponization of the dollar, particularly highlighted by the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent freezing of assets, as a stark warning to nations worldwide.

 This perceived vulnerability of the dollar is prompting a strategic diversification into gold, a tangible asset with a long history of preserving wealth, immune to political manipulation and asset freezes.

Furthermore, the prevailing macro environment, including the Federal Reserve’s potential pivot towards interest rate cuts and the evolving political landscape, creates a fertile ground for dollar devaluation. Such a scenario would naturally propel gold prices higher.

Beyond traditional markets, Goggin delves into the intriguing intersection of cryptocurrency and precious metals, specifically focusing on stablecoins like Tether and its innovative “Tether Gold.” He notes the US government’s recent embrace of cryptocurrency, exemplified by the “Genius Act,” which legitimizes stablecoins and integrates them into the traditional banking system.

This regulatory shift, Goggin suggests, could trigger the “biggest bank run of all time” as assets move from traditional banking into the crypto space.

Tether, a significant player in this arena, is actively accumulating gold – reportedly around 100 tons annually. Their creation of “Tether Gold” offers a unique proposition: the stability and intrinsic value of gold combined with the transferability and efficiency of cryptocurrency.

This innovation has the potential to fundamentally redefine our understanding of money and payment systems.

Goggin also observes that while crypto companies may not be direct buyers of mining operations, they are actively acquiring royalty companies that benefit from these operations. He even posits that Tether Gold could eventually surpass Tether dollars in market size, driven by gold’s inherent long-term value and the technological advantages of crypto.

While gold takes center stage, Goggin also highlights the considerable upside potential of silver.

Historically, silver tends to experience parabolic spikes near the peak of gold bull markets. With gold poised for further gains, silver remains significantly undervalued relative to its precious metal counterpart, suggesting a similar, if not more explosive, upward trajectory.

In conclusion, the ITM Trading discussion with Garrett Goggin paints a clear picture: the current environment is a perfect storm for precious metals.

Macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical realignments, and groundbreaking technological innovation in cryptocurrency are converging to create a powerful and sustained bull market for gold and silver. Far from being over, this rally is just beginning, and the potential for significant gains over the coming years is substantial.

The Dollar Reset Has Begun: U.S. Is Quietly Engineering Its Own Devaluation

The Dollar Reset Has Begun: U.S. Is Quietly Engineering Its Own Devaluation | Hibbard & Schectman

11-2-2025

Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, speaks with Alan Hibbard, Alternative Money Specialist at GoldSilver.com, about the dollar’s next chapter – a deliberate U.S. devaluation to reshore manufacturing and reset the global monetary order.

Hibbard explains why Washington needs a weaker dollar, how gold is quietly being re-monetized, and why central banks are front-running the shift to a new, gold-backed system.

They also explore the potential unification of gold and Bitcoin communities, the Genius Act’s stablecoin strategy, and the physics of money itself.

Stagflation Is Back—And the Fed Is Asleep at the Wheel

Stagflation Is Back—And the Fed Is Asleep at the Wheel

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)    October 29, 2025

Protestant firebrand and political activist Hugh Latimer must have known he was risking his life when he stepped into the pulpit at St. Paul’s Cross on January 12, 1549.  His sermon that Sunday morning was hardly religious in nature. Rather, Latimer publicly expressed the view-- the deep, deep frustration-- that nearly all Englishmen were feeling at the time, but everyone was too afraid to say out loud.

Inflation was killing them. And it was the government’s fault.

It started about seven years before, in 1542. England went to war against both Scotland and France-- AT THE SAME TIME. War is always expensive, and it’s especially debilitating when you’re fighting simultaneous conflicts to your north and south.

 War costs quickly mounted, and the English government began paying for it by debasing the currency. Two years into the wars, by 1544, silver content in their coins had plummeted by about a third. Two years later by another 50%.

 At peak, when Latimer gave his famous sermon, silver content had fallen 90% in just seven years. And as a result, prices across England were skyrocketing.

 Latimer was witty and eloquent in the finest English tradition; he quipped at one point that “the King’s coin is become like the King’s faith-- clipped and counterfeit.” And later on, “the debasing of the coin is the debasing of the realm…”

 Latimer believed the debasement of the currency to be a moral issue-- even a sinful act-- because it was essentially theft of commoner’s purchasing power.

 He spoke to thousands of people that cold day in January. But his words went far beyond the congregation; his sermon was published and widely circulated, prompting angry Englishmen across the country to form rebel groups and demand change.

Latimer was arrested and charged for “stirring the people”, imprisoned in the Tower of London and ultimately put to death. His final words were “we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”

Writing in his own journal in 1551, King Edward VI himself admitted that his government was wrong.

 “The debasement of the coin was the cause of the dearth,” wrote the King-- with dearth in that context referring to soaring food prices. He knew his government caused inflation, and inflation caused the social unrest. Latimer was an innocent man who had the courage to say what everyone else was feeling.

Both of these are sadly common trends in history; governments often persecute those whose only crime is telling the truth. And second, governments will invariably screw up, create inflation, and cause severe devastation in people’s lives.

 I’ll focus on the second topic today given that the most recent inflation numbers in the US were announced a few days ago.

 And, no surprise, inflation is ticking up and moving in the wrong direction. Based on the September month-over-month numbers, inflation is an annualized 3.6%.

 Bizarrely, the Fed has already begun lowering interest rates and is widely expected to cut further in the coming months… which will most likely make inflation worse.

 Far more important is that Fed officials are signaling that they’re about to end their quantitative tightening earlier than originally planned.

This is crucial. During the pandemic, the Fed created $5+ trillion in new money. Poof. It’s the equivalent of England debasing its currency in the 1540s… and all that new money triggered all the inflation we’ve experienced.

Quantitative tightening is the reverse of that process; in addition to raising rates (starting in 2022), the Fed also began reducing the money supply and draining some of that money out of the financial system.

 At this point they’ve removed about $2 trillion out of the $5 trillion that they printed. And the original plan was to keep going and reduce their balance sheet.

 But that seems to be no longer happening. So stopping the quantitative tightening, combined with interest rate cuts, will really invite a LOT more inflation.

And all of this is happening just as the labor market is beginning to falter. White collar jobs in particular are being slashed at an astonishing pace.

There’s a term for this-- one that economists don’t like to use very much. But it’s called stagflation-- a shrinking economy combined with higher inflation.

America has been here before-- most recently in the 1970s.

The US economy was in a tailspin; unemployment and inflation BOTH surged, resulting in an almost entire decade of economic misery. But there were safe havens.

 Gold was an obvious safe haven. As the US economy stagnated and retail prices rose, gold prices exploded, rising more than 20x over the next ten years. The dollar, meanwhile, lost roughly 75% of its purchasing power.

We’re seeing similar conditions today, from the inflation data to the gargantuan US national debt. And if history is any guide, this isn’t a trend that reverses easily. The underlying driver—loss of confidence in US fiscal policy and the long-term value of the dollar—shows no sign of abating.

This is why we’ve written so much about gold over the past few years. And, despite its recent pullback, gold remains an incredibly sensible long-term investment.

 But there are other real assets to consider as well.

Real assets in general tend to hold their value during inflationary periods—because they’re not just paper promises. They’re tangible. They’re productive. They’re the raw inputs the economy is actually built on.

 One of the most obvious opportunities right now—possibly the most mispriced sector in the entire market—is energy.

 The world does not exist without energy. Full stop. People have been fed a ridiculous lie that oil is going to disappear and we’re all going to drive solar-powered EVs and Exxon is going to go out of business.

What total BS. But because of this myth, many oil companies are absurdly cheap. Meanwhile oilfield services businesses have been practically left for dead.

Then there’s natural gas-- which (especially in the US) remains THE cheapest form of energy on the planet—cheaper than coal, oil, and in some real-world scenarios, even cheaper than nuclear. And it’s even pretty clean.

 But natural gas producers too have traded at fire-sale valuations.

 We’ve been clear that the gold story is not over by a long shot.

But in our investment research, we are starting to turn to other sectors that are still at the bottom of their cycles— but won’t stay that way for long the way inflation is heating up again.

 The story of inflation is as old as the story of civilization itself. It’s inevitable.

And we’re seeing some pretty obvious warning signs on the horizon.

 But there are some compelling safe havens out there which have almost NEVER been cheaper. They’re worth considering.

Restored Republic

Wed. 29 Oct. 2025 EMERGENCY INTEL DROP: @PaulGoldEagle

The U.S. economy is suffocating. Prices rise, the dollar weakens, and every paycheck buys less. Behind the headlines lies a deliberate collapse engineered by the same global bankers who built the system to fail. For decades, they drained nations through debt slavery and hidden off-ledger networks. That empire is now being dismantled.

ECONOMIC DECLINE BY DESIGN The so-called “recession” isn’t random — it’s control. Artificial inflation, digital illusions, and fake growth data mask a dying system. Every stimulus deepened debt, each crisis expanded elite control. The goal was a new centralized digital currency owned by them. Trump’s Alliance (allegedly) blocked that plan. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) (allegedly) replaced it.

QFS EXPANSION IS (allegedly) LIVE Quantum nodes are active:
• Fort Worth, TX – biometric command center
• Stuttgart, Germany – NATO-hardened interface
• Dubai Financial District – seized routing hub
• Iowa Quantum Hub – first verified GESARA-linked transfers

The QFS(allegedly)  bypasses all banking intermediaries. DNA-based authentication (allegedly) replaces account numbers. Transactions are(allegedly)  logged, encrypted, and immune to theft or seizure. The central banks’ levers of control are gone.

CONTROLLED COLLAPSE UNDERWAY Legacy systems are shutting down:
• SWIFT nodes are dropping offline.
• BIS audit tools return null data.
• Central banks blocked from mirror conversions.
• IMF liquidity buffers drained dry.

Banks blame “technical outages.” In reality, the plug is being pulled. Fiat grids are dying as QFS routing absorbs their flow.

TRUMP’S ALLIANCE (allegedly) CONTROLS THE RESET From Cheyenne Mountain, Trump and Gen. Eric M. Smith oversee the transition. Over $1.2 trillion in elite foundations and black trusts have (allegedly) been seized and redirected into biometric civilian accounts.

Next moves:
• Declassifying M-Alpha-1999 – evidence of 14 dynasties to sabotage QFS rollout.
• Expanding Tier-2 onboarding for GESARA civilian funding.
• Exposing Vatican Q-Ledger forks used to mimic QFS access.

THE SYSTEM THAT FED ON EVERYONE IS DYING Debt, inflation, and fiat illusions are ending. The elites are scattering, their safe havens collapsing one by one.

This is not a financial crisis — it’s liberation. The takedown continues. The silence means success. QFS is not coming. QFS is (allegedly) here.

Frank26    These lower denomination notes, they need a new rate in order to work...But the fils, they need a new rate so it's not so embarrassing.  I mean seriously, if they keep it at 1310 what would be the value of the fils?  The answer is a negative number [Because the metal of the coin itself has more value than the face value of the coin?]...The coins scream that the next step is to introduce the new exchange rate.  The coins desperately demand a new rate.

Mnt Goat    In...Iraq, the television news...has released an educational presentation that was played...on October 26th and keeps playing... This newest news shows the older historical dinar notes and coins as they too were lower denominations. But the key for us investors is why are they showing this and what’s it all about?  What I am told this latest video is doing is making a case that the CBI is bringing back these lower denominations and that we may also very well see many of these features of the notes from the past 1930’s – 1940’s on the newer lower denomination. Why these images? This was the ‘golden age’ for Iraq, get it now? That’s the point of this recent news. There is an historical presentation full of Iraq pride in their prior currency. But what was the rate back in the 1930’s and 1940’s?  ...throughout the 1930’s & 1940’s the dinar was $4.86.  WOW!

COMEX COLLAPSE: 29 MILLION Ounces VANISH in 30 Days – Silver Vaults EMPTY

Daniela Cambone:  10-29-2025

“The long-term trend can't be manipulated... but within that trend, yes, you can play games. Yes, you can manage the price,” silver expert David Morgan reveals

. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, Morgan breaks down the most acute stress the physical silver market has seen in years, which saw 29 million ounces drained from COMEX vaults in a single month to plug a desperate shortage in London.

 He argues that while the immediate "panic has subsided," and "the worst of the squeeze appears to be behind us," this event was a critical lesson.

“There'll be a day of reckoning where the physical market takes control of the paper paradigm. And that's what we've seen this year,” he states.

Find out why he warns the system runs on “razor-thin inventories” and why this underlying issue of a “world running short of metal” means the physical reckoning is not over.

GLOBAL RESET Enters Next Phase as Gold Replaces the Dollar

GLOBAL RESET Enters Next Phase as Gold Replaces the Dollar

Taylor Kenny:  10-28-2025

The global currency reset isn’t coming—it’s already underway.

And history shows exactly what happens next.

In this video, Taylor breaks down how past monetary resets played out in countries like Weimar Germany, Venezuela, and Brazil—and what they reveal about the U.S. dollar's future.

Are we standing at the precipice of a financial earthquake?

The global financial system, long anchored by the mighty US dollar, is showing profound signs of strain. What many are calling a “global monetary reset” isn’t a speculative theory, but an unfolding reality that promises to fundamentally change how we understand and preserve wealth.

And at its core, this reset is signaling a triumphant return for gold – and its versatile counterpart, silver.

For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme as the world’s reserve currency. But its dominance is being eroded by two powerful forces: unsustainable global debt levels and a rapidly diminishing confidence in fiat currencies worldwide. Paper money, by its very nature, relies on trust, and that trust is wearing thin.

Monetary resets are not random events; they are cyclical processes, pivotal moments when currencies are either devalued or revalued to reflect new economic realities.

 History is replete with examples of what happens when confidence in paper money evaporates. Think of Weimar Germany’s hyperinflation, Brazil’s rapid currency devaluations, or Venezuela’s recent economic collapse. In each instance, paper money lost its purchasing power, becoming worthless almost overnight.

During these crises, a clear pattern emerges: while paper assets become kindling, physical gold and silver consistently retain, and often increase, their value. They serve as true stores of wealth when central banks print endlessly and economies buckle under pressure.

Historically, silver played a crucial role as the transactional metal during periods of crisis – your everyday currency for survival. Gold, on the other hand, provided the means to truly thrive and build generational wealth after the reset, offering stability and purchasing power that transcended the chaos.

Even the US dollar, despite its current status, is not immune to these historical cycles. It has undergone its own revaluations, devaluations, and even defaults in the past. The writing, it seems, is on the wall. And central banks around the world are reading it loud and clear.

What are they doing in response? They are quietly, yet aggressively, accumulating physical gold. This isn’t a mere investment; it’s a strategic move, a hedge against the inevitable loss of power they foresee for the dollar. Their actions speak volumes about where they believe the next global monetary cornerstone will lie.

In this rapidly evolving financial landscape, the call to action is clear: you need to own physical gold and silver. These tangible assets offer a robust defense against currency devaluation and an unparalleled opportunity to not just protect, but grow, your wealth through this reset.

Consider the dual role of silver: it’s not only a monetary metal, but also an indispensable industrial metal, used in everything from electronics to solar panels. This unique demand profile often makes silver a powerful performer during economic shifts. Understanding the gold-to-silver ratio can also provide strategic insights for optimizing your holdings.

This isn’t just about weathering a storm; it’s about positioning yourself to thrive in the financial era that follows. Preparing strategically, by owning tangible metals, is no longer an option but a strategic imperative.

Don’t wait for the tide to turn; be ready for it. For further insights and expert consultations on navigating this evolving financial landscape, we encourage you to watch the full video from ITM Trading and explore additional resources.

Clare:  IMF forecasts: Iraq will be the fourth largest Arab economy by 2030.

10/28/2025

International Monetary Fund data predicts that Iraq will rank fourth among the largest Arab economies by 2023.

Saudi Arabia will top the list of the largest Arab economies by 2030, with a projected GDP of $1.6 trillion, cementing its position as the strongest economy in the region.

The UAE came in second place with approximately $765 billion, followed by Egypt in third place with $590 billion, Iraq with $346 billion, and Algeria with $309 billion.

The next highest rankings were held by Qatar with $297 billion, Morocco with $252 billion, and Kuwait with $190 billion. Oman followed with $133 billion, while Jordan rounded out the list with $74 billion.

The data indicated that these estimates are based on GDP at current prices, with expectations of increasing economic growth in a number of Arab countries until the end of the current decade.

The World Bank had previously predicted that Iraq would record the highest growth rate among Arab economies next year, at 6.7%, followed by Djibouti at 6.1%, and then Qatar at 5.3%, despite reducing its growth estimate by 0.1 percentage points from its June forecast.

The bank raised its growth estimates for Iraq by 2.3 percentage points, followed by Palestine by 1.1 percentage points, while Oman's growth forecast was reduced by 2.9 percentage points.

The three largest Arab economies—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt—are expected to grow by 4.3%, 5%, and 4.3%, respectively, in 2026. LINK

Clare: The Central Bank announces that electronic trading has increased to $60 billion.

10/28/2025- Baghdad

The Central Bank of Iraq expects the volume of electronic payments to reach $60 billion by 2035, as part of a reform plan to gradually phase out paper cash transactions.

"As part of its reform plan, the bank is pursuing electronic transformation and financial inclusion, given its significant role in reducing reliance on paper cash transactions, which has significantly reduced the use of cash. It has encouraged all individuals today to increase their transactions and shift to electronic payments, particularly for salaries and government departments," bank spokesman Alaa Al-Fahd said, according to the official newspaper.

He added, "The bank is implementing a banking reform plan in cooperation with Oliver Wyman, which announced in its report a significant response from banks to the reform plan's implementation, expecting electronic payments to reach $60 billion by 2035."

Al-Fahd explained that "electronic payments have significantly reduced the printing of banknotes due to electronic transactions," noting that "there is an idea to move towards digital electronic banks and the significant role they play in reducing reliance on paper money."

He continued, "The development of electronic payments over the past three years has witnessed a qualitative leap and a very high growth rate, with the number of cards issued reaching more than 22 million, in addition to the import of more than 75,000 devices." He expected that "the future will bring even greater growth in the issue of electronic payments and transactions as an alternative to paper transactions."   LINK

Militia Man    Are they going to tell us everything?   Not a chance.  Are they going to tell you when it revalues or what the exchange rate specifically is going to be?  No.  But they definitely give you indicators.  And if you're savvy enough to be able to follow along...I think you'll get the big picture. 

Nader From The Mid East  The 50, 100 and 200's are out.  Even the one, five exist already.  The 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and the 200s...I know what I'm talking about.  I know that...The 50, 100 and 200 are out.  The 5s and 10s and all that [lower denominations] are not out... The 25,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000 are still on.  Everything is still on.  That will not change till we change the rate

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY: Baghdad channel one TV talks about the history of our coins and the years and the amounts when they first came out.  We're all glued to the television.  Very interesting.  We don't see anything about the 50 but we are really paying attention to this about the coins.  FRANK:  After all this has been shown about the coins, what's next after the fils?  IMO, nothing but the exchange rate.  They are now down with the lower notes education IMO and the new exchange rate make all of this lower notes make sense...very very very soon.

Is Silver Poised To Make A Massive Reversion? Mike Maloney

10-28-2025

Buckle up for a deep dive into why both gold and silver are riding the wave of a global monetary shift.

In this episode of the Gold Silver Show, Mike & Alan break down:

• How physical demand (not just paper markets) is pushing precious-metals prices higher around the world.

• Why silver isn’t for the faint-hearted — it’s volatile, but offers enormous long-term potential if you hold strong.

• What central-bank gold accumulation tells us about the future of money.

• Why the gold-silver ratio matters — and how today’s extreme level might signal a dramatic upside for silver.

• The looming debt, inflation and fiat-currency risks that suggest we’re in a generational opportunity for precious-metals investors.

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush — 1 man even bought a home with his spoils. How to cash in

Jing Pan  Sat, October 25, 2025

It’s been more than 170 years since California’s Gold Rush — but locals are once again finding gold dust, flakes and even nuggets glittering in the state’s rivers.

“Gold’s all around,” said Manny Goza, a prospector sifting through the Bear River, in an interview with FOX40 News. (1) The low water levels during the fall make it easier to reach stretches of the river that are usually inaccessible.

For Goza, a builder by trade, panning for gold has paid off.

“I did it every day. I've been here since 2005, bought a house in 2010 because I could pay my bills off the gold,” he said. “When I’m not contracting, I’m here digging gold.”

With gold prices up more than 50% over the past 12 months, the precious metal is drawing renewed attention from locals looking for opportunity in their own backyard.

Goza said an “amateur” prospector can expect to make around $50 a day, while a more serious one might bring in “anywhere from $100 to $15,000.”

Just like the original gold rush nearly two centuries ago, striking it big often comes down to luck. One prospector recalled a moment when a golden nugget “just rolled out — it was completely round like a baseball and it was half gold.”

Still, the work can be grueling. As another prospector put it, gold “doesn’t jump into the pan.”

And payday is never a sure thing.

“It’s emotional, some days you find $15,000, some days you don’t find anything,” Goza said.

Matthew Piepenburg of Von Greyerz joins Elijah K. Johnson to explain why the world is preparing for a very different kind of crisis than 2008.

Piepenburg argues that the next “uh-oh moment” in markets won’t trigger a flight to U.S. Treasuries or the dollar—but rather to gold. He contrasts views from analysts like Brent Johnson, explaining why even with a stronger DXY, gold could still rise.

 Piepenburg also warns against waiting for the perfect entry point, saying long-term investors should focus on wealth preservation, not short-term price moves.

The ground beneath our global economy is shifting. Whispers of a looming market correction or even a full-blown credit crisis are growing louder, prompting investors to re-evaluate their traditional safe havens.

In a recent insightful discussion hosted by Elijah K. Johnson of Liberty and Finance, Matthew Piepenberg of Von Greer’s Gold offered a compelling perspective on the future of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, in this evolving landscape.

Piepenberg’s core message is clear: we are witnessing a secular bull market in gold, a long-term trend that remains firmly intact despite any short-term price volatility. He urges investors to shift their mindset, viewing gold not as a speculative commodity to be traded on daily swings, but as a strategic store of value, an asset to be held for decades, akin to a generational inheritance of wealth.

The macroeconomic forces at play are undeniable and paint a picture that strongly favors precious metals. Soaring US debt levels, the relentless debasement of fiat currencies, and a world increasingly navigating geopolitical complexities are collectively fueling a historic pivot towards gold. The traditional safe havens – the US dollar and treasury bonds – are facing unprecedented scrutiny.

A central theme of the discussion is the erosion of the US dollar’s purchasing power. Piepenberg highlights a growing global sentiment for a move away from the dollar and towards gold. This isn’t just theoretical; it’s evidenced by the significant accumulation of gold reserves by central banks worldwide. Furthermore, the very idea of gold-backed US treasury securities is now being openly discussed, a stark indicator of the shifting monetary paradigms.

The conversation even delved into the possibility of a gold revaluation by the US Treasury. Such a move, which would significantly increase the official price of gold, could be a strategy to grapple with the nation’s mounting debt. While speculative, it underlines the growing recognition of gold’s intrinsic monetary value.

The “exorbitant privilege” the US dollar has enjoyed as the world’s reserve currency is now under a microscope. Piepenberg points out its paradoxical effects, contributing to chronic trade deficits and the offshoring of manufacturing. As this privilege wanes, a multipolar global currency system is emerging, and gold is poised to play a pivotal role within it.

This raises a critical question for investors: will the US dollar and treasuries truly remain safe havens in the face of future crises? Piepenberg argues that while they may have served this purpose in the past, gold is increasingly becoming the preferred refuge for those seeking genuine security.

For those looking to navigate these turbulent economic waters, Piepenberg offers practical advice: focus on the long-term preservation of wealth. This means prioritizing physical precious metals and measuring your financial success not in the fluctuating units of fiat currency, but in the tangible ounces and grams of gold and silver.

He encourages investors to educate themselves about the historical cycles of currency debasement and to understand the unique, time-tested attributes of gold as a monetary asset. In an era of unprecedented economic uncertainty, understanding the power and potential of precious metals is not just prudent, it’s essential for safeguarding your financial future.

“The System Is Ending” - Clive Thompson’s Final Warning on Gold & Fiat Collapse

“The System Is Ending” - Clive Thompson’s Final Warning on Gold & Fiat Collapse

ITM Trading:  10-26-2025

Clive Thompson, a former Swiss banker, shares hard-won lessons from decades on the inside: gold carried families through war, preserved wealth through collapse, and shielded everyday people through major crises.

 Now, he’s warning that the fiat system is failing, and few are prepared.

In a world buzzing with fleeting trends and digital promises, some truths remain constant, shining brighter with each passing year. One such truth, the enduring value of gold, is championed by a man whose life has been inextricably woven with this precious metal for half a century:

Clive Thompson. A seasoned expert whose career has spanned from the trading floors of London to the secure vaults of Swiss private banking, Clive offers insights that are not just theoretical, but forged in the crucible of real-world experience.

Clive’s journey with gold began not in a bustling financial district, but with a simple yet profound lesson from his grandfather. Imagine being a child, presented with a choice: ephemeral paper money, fleeting chocolate, or a gleaming gold sovereign.

This early exercise in discernment laid the foundation for Clive’s lifelong understanding: gold possessed an intrinsic worth that paper currency, a mere promise, could never truly match. It was a tangible asset, a physical representation of value, even then.

From these formative lessons, Clive’s professional life unfurled, cementing his conviction. Decades spent navigating diverse financial landscapes – from the dynamic markets of London to the strategic havens of the Cayman Islands and the meticulous world of Swiss private banking – allowed him to witness firsthand gold’s unparalleled role as a “wealth shield.”

Through crises, wars, economic upheavals, and market volatility, gold consistently acted as an unflinching guardian of wealth, preserving fortunes when other assets faltered.

He recounts stories of clients who, guided by foresight or instinct, chose gold over precarious paper assets. Their enduring legacy often became the preservation of family wealth across generations, a testament to gold’s permanence. Clive vividly remembers the 2008 financial crisis, a pivotal moment when the sudden surge in demand for physical gold overwhelmed supply. This stark reality underscores a critical lesson: the time to own gold is before the panic, not during it.

What makes gold so resilient? Clive emphasizes its fundamental properties: liquidity, portability, and permanence.

Unlike the ephemeral whispers of fiat currencies, which throughout history have collapsed under the weight of their own making, gold remains. It’s a tangible asset that can be easily converted, moved, and, crucially, cannot be printed into oblivion by governments. It holds its value not by decree, but by millennia of human trust and inherent scarcity.

Clive’s insights extend beyond individual portfolios to the precarious state of the global financial system. He points to the staggering realities of soaring government debt, unchecked money printing, and inflating asset bubbles.

The pivotal moment, he argues, was the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, which unleashed a torrent of unchecked fiat currency inflation, eroding purchasing power at an accelerating rate.

He warns that the current trajectory is unsustainable. The global financial system, built on layers of debt and manufactured money, is nearing a critical juncture.

When fiat currencies inevitably lose all their value – a historical pattern that repeats itself – gold, Clive asserts, will reclaim its rightful role as real money, the bedrock of financial stability.

For Clive Thompson, gold is not merely an investment; it is a permanent, private, and tangible form of wealth. It is protection against systemic risk and a legacy for future generations. It’s about securing what’s truly valuable when the illusion of paper wealth dissipates.

In a world teetering on the edge of a financial reset, Clive’s message is clear and urgent: prepare now. Don’t wait for the inevitable.
