Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?
Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?
As Good As Gold Australia: 12-6-2025
In this insightful discussion, Brian Pa from As Good as Gold Australia interviews Alasdair Macleod about the future of the global economy, focusing particularly on the unsustainable growth of US debt, the looming collapse of fiat currencies, and the critical role of gold and silver as real money.
Alasdair emphasizes that since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, government debt has doubled roughly every decade, creating a debt bubble that is on the verge of bursting.
Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?
As Good As Gold Australia: 12-6-2025
In this insightful discussion, Brian Pa from As Good as Gold Australia interviews Alasdair Macleod about the future of the global economy, focusing particularly on the unsustainable growth of US debt, the looming collapse of fiat currencies, and the critical role of gold and silver as real money.
Alasdair emphasizes that since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, government debt has doubled roughly every decade, creating a debt bubble that is on the verge of bursting.
This collapse will destroy purchasing power, trigger rising bond yields, and lead to a severe economic downturn reminiscent of the Great Depression but potentially worse.
The only viable protection against this economic destruction is holding real money, primarily gold and silver, as fiat currencies lose their value.
Alasdair explains the mechanics of currency collapse, pointing out that hyperinflation is a symptom of the loss of purchasing power rather than the cause.
He highlights the rise in bond yields as a warning sign and notes that living standards will be drastically affected. Mortgage foreclosures and the collapse of credit availability will become widespread, with borrowers potentially benefiting if they can maintain payments while lenders suffer losses.
The conversation also delves into the manipulation of gold and silver prices via derivatives markets.
Alasdair discusses the severe liquidity crisis in the silver market, exacerbated by China’s recent export bans, which are part of a broader strategy to control critical minerals.
The silver market’s deficits and the collapse in derivative open interest signal an impending failure of these financial instruments, which could cause a significant price surge in physical metals. This phenomenon is expected to extend to gold, undermining the entire derivative system and exposing systemic risks.
The interview critiques the current economic commentary landscape, where few analysts challenge mainstream narratives about fiat currencies, often due to editorial pressures or a lack of understanding.
Alasdair stresses the importance of returning to a gold-backed currency system to restore economic stability, warning that the current trajectory will lead to catastrophic outcomes.
He also highlights the disconnect between government policies and real economic management, casting doubt on the ability of politicians to effectively guide the economy.
Finally, Alasdair refrains from making precise price predictions for gold and silver, arguing that the collapse of fiat currency value will distort price metrics.
Instead, he advocates for focusing on preserving purchasing power through real assets. The interview ends with a forward-looking note about the ongoing economic turmoil and the crucial role precious metals will play in securing financial security amid the coming crisis.

Global Markets Show Signs of Dangerous Overvaluation as Reset Pressures Build
Asset bubbles push systemic risk to new highs, raising talk of financial restructuring

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Global Markets Show Signs of Dangerous Overvaluation as Reset Pressures Build
Asset bubbles push systemic risk to new highs, raising talk of financial restructuring
Overview
SCMP warns that global asset prices across equities, tech, and real estate are detached from fundamentals
The editorial argues current valuations could trigger a major correction
A severe downturn could spark structural financial reforms or cross-market realignments
Key Developments
Inflated asset prices have outpaced economic reality, setting the stage for a correction more severe than previous cycles.
Central banks are increasingly boxed in, unable to raise rates without triggering liquidity fractures in over-leveraged sectors.
Investors are chasing bubble-level valuations, especially in AI-linked tech stocks and speculative real-estate markets.
A significant market event could force governments and institutions to redesign financial frameworks, echoing themes tied to systemic reset scenarios.
Why It Matters
When markets decouple from fundamentals, the correction phase often accelerates political decisions, regulatory restructuring, and institutional redesign. A severe downturn—especially one triggered by synchronized global overvaluation—could hasten reforms that shift power structures, reserve flows, and the architecture of global markets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Assets – Overvalued markets highlight the fragility of a system inflated by liquidity, debt, and AI-driven speculation.
Pillar: Debt – Excess leverage amplifies the risk of cascading failures, making restructuring more likely if corrections unfold.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

India Pushes for BRICS Satellite-Launch Dominance — Aiming to Reshape Global Space Services
New launch capacity, private-sector surge, and geopolitical ambition converge as India stakes a claim for major share of global orbit services
Overview
India says it will dramatically expand its satellite-launch capabilities, targeting between 8% and 10% of the global commercial space launch market within the next decade.
A newly opened facility near Hyderabad is reported to enable monthly orbital-rocket production, signaling a major upgrade in launch capacity.
Private-sector growth and policy shifts under the national space strategy illustrate India’s pivot toward being a global launch-services provider — with implications for BRICS space cooperation and global competition.
Key Developments
The newly inaugurated facility near Hyderabad is described as able to handle assembly, testing, and production of multiple launch vehicles simultaneously — a substantial upgrade over earlier infrastructure.
Under reported plans, the facility could churn out one orbital-launch rocket per month, representing a dramatic increase compared to past launch rates.
Senior space-programme leaders have publicly stated that India aims to capture 8–10% of the worldwide commercial satellite-launch market within the next 10 years. This would mark a major leap from its current share (widely cited as under 2%).
The private space sector in India has reportedly exploded — rising from a handful of startups a few years ago to more than 300 active firms involved in launch technology, satellite development, and related services.
Historically, over the past five decades, India has launched hundreds of satellites for dozens of countries — building a track-record of reliability and cost-effectiveness, enhanced recently by a multi-satellite launch mission that orbited 36 satellites on a single rocket.
Recent policy reforms have been critical: by opening up national space activities to private participation and commercial contracts, India is shifting from a purely government-driven space program toward a mixed public-private space economy.
Why It Matters
The transition transforms India from a regional space actor into a global launch-services contender. By scaling up launch capacity, embracing private-sector involvement, and leveraging cost-competitive advantages, India could emerge as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to established launch-service powers.
This may accelerate satellite deployment worldwide — especially for smaller nations and private operators — lowering barriers to entry and broadening global access to orbit services. The shift also enhances strategic leverage for India and its partners, particularly within the BRICS grouping, potentially reshaping how space infrastructure and services are distributed globally.
Implications for Global Space & Geopolitics
BRICS Space Leadership — India’s growing capacity positions it as a leading launch hub for BRICS nations, potentially reducing reliance on Western or Russian launch providers.
Democratization of Access to Space — Lower-cost, high-frequency launches could make satellite services — communications, remote sensing, scientific payloads — more accessible to smaller nations and private firms globally.
Strategic Autonomy & Competition — As India scales, global space competition intensifies: nations may reassess partnerships, regulatory regimes, and launch dependencies.
Commercial Space Market Disruption — By offering competitive pricing and reliable launches, India could disrupt traditional launch-service markets, driving down costs and accelerating innovation in satellite-dependent industries.
This is not just technology — it’s a strategic shift in how humanity reaches orbit, and who controls the gateway.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 12-7-25
Despite Fluctuating Dollar Exchange Rates, Gold Prices In Baghdad Remain Stable.
Economy | 07/12/2025 Mawazin News - Baghdad: Gold prices, both foreign and Iraqi, remained stable in Baghdad's local markets. This morning, wholesale gold prices in Baghdad's Al-Nahr Street market showed a selling price of 847,000 Iraqi dinars per mithqal (approximately 4.5 grams) of 21-karat gold from the Gulf, Turkey, and Europe at 847,000 dinars, and a buying price of 843,000 dinars – the same prices as yesterday.
Despite Fluctuating Dollar Exchange Rates, Gold Prices In Baghdad Remain Stable.
Economy | 07/12/2025 Mawazin News - Baghdad: Gold prices, both foreign and Iraqi, remained stable in Baghdad's local markets. This morning, wholesale gold prices in Baghdad's Al-Nahr Street market showed a selling price of 847,000 Iraqi dinars per mithqal (approximately 4.5 grams) of 21-karat gold from the Gulf, Turkey, and Europe at 847,000 dinars, and a buying price of 843,000 dinars – the same prices as yesterday.
The selling price of 817,000 dinars per mithqal of 21-karat Iraqi gold was 813,000 dinars, while the buying price was 813,000 dinars. As for gold prices in jewelry shops, the selling price of a mithqal of 21-karat Gulf gold ranged between 850,000 and 860,000 dinars, while the selling price of a mithqal of Iraqi gold ranged between 820,000 and 830,000 dinars. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271281
Saleh's Statement: No Change In The Exchange Rate And The Iraqi Economy Is Stable.
Time: 2025/12/06 Reading: 90 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the official exchange rate is fixed at 1320 dinars and that the recent fluctuations have no significant impact, while indicating that the Iraqi economy is stable and inflation has declined to 2.5%.
Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Furat News that “what happened in the parallel exchange market during the past few days is nothing more than an emergency and temporary fluctuation resulting from inaccurate information effects known in economic analysis as “color noise,” which is confused information that is mostly based on rumors, and leads to uncertain behavior and short-term speculation in the unregulated money market.”
He added that "transitional periods usually witness such price movements, especially as the country continues in the post-legislative election phase, and in parallel with the implementation of the customs governance system and its digital procedures in accordance with international standards, including customs tracking systems and modern digital applications that enhance transparency and discipline in the commercial and financial environment together."
Saleh explained that “the aforementioned fluctuation in the price of the dollar against the dinar in the parallel market has not left a substantial impact on the stability of the general price level, as monetary policy continues to achieve its operational and intermediate goals in stabilizing prices in general and maintaining the stability of the official exchange rate in particular, a path that is reflected in the decrease in the annual inflation growth rate to normal fractional levels not exceeding 2.5% annually.”
He pointed out that “the policy of fixed exchange rate is an adopted policy based on fundamental principles, foremost among them the efficiency of foreign reserves supporting the stability of the official exchange rate of 1320 dinars per dollar. It is also noted that international institutions, foremost among them the World Bank and other multilateral global financing institutions, view with satisfaction the government’s reform steps in the banking sector and the general financial and economic sector, which encourage the investment environment, especially the trend towards strengthening the partnership between the state and the private sector, all of which are among the basic pillars for building a diversified economy that supports the paths of sustainable development identified by the methodology of Iraq Vision 2050.” LINK
Government Advisor: Recent Fluctuations In The Parallel Market Are "Temporary" And Do Not Affect The Iraqi Economy
Economy | 06/12/2025 Mawazin News - Baghdad: The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed that the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars is fixed and stable, indicating that the recent fluctuations in the parallel market are "temporary" and do not have a substantial impact on the economy.
Salih stated in a press release that what occurred in the exchange market over the past few days represents a "temporary fluctuation" resulting from inaccurate information, which he described as a kind of "colorful noise" based on rumors, driving short-term speculative behavior within the unregulated market.
He added that transitional periods—especially in the post-parliamentary election phase—typically witness such movements, noting that the implementation of digital customs governance systems and international standards for tracking and inspection played a role in triggering temporary market reactions.
He clarified that this fluctuation has not been reflected in the general price level, as monetary policy continues to achieve its objectives in stabilizing prices, which has contributed to a decline in the annual inflation rate to approximately 2.5%, a level considered normal.
Saleh pointed out that the stability of the exchange rate is a well-established policy based on strong foreign reserves that support its stability, explaining that international institutions - foremost among them the World Bank - are following positively the government's reform steps in the banking and financial sectors, in addition to the trends of strengthening the partnership between the state and the private sector, which are among the basic pillars of the path of sustainable development within Iraq's Vision 2050. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271238

The video presents an insightful overview of recent developments in Iraq’s financial and geopolitical landscape.
It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.
The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.

It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.
The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.
However, public skepticism remains high, with Iraqi citizens reluctant to deposit their currency in banks, posing a challenge to the reform’s success.
The video then shifts focus to the geopolitical strategy of the United States in Iraq, highlighting the opening of the world’s largest US consulate in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region.
This $800 million facility symbolizes strengthened US presence and commitment in northern Iraq, particularly significant amid rising regional tensions involving Iran, Syria, Turkey, and the ongoing Kurdish autonomy disputes.
The consulate’s opening follows years of fluctuating US-Kurdish relations and recent attacks on Kurdish infrastructure attributed to Iran-backed militia groups.
The US government’s message is clear: despite planned troop withdrawals, America intends to maintain a robust diplomatic and strategic foothold in Iraq, particularly in regions free from Iranian influence, signaling continued engagement and influence in the broader Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape.

Judy Note: From the below information in this update it might be assumed, and I could be wrong, that a Black Swan Event was well on it’s way to collapse the Global Financial System.
As of the month of December 2025 the world’s top economies were insolvent: the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Israel, U.K., Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. They have been (allegedly) held up by false news reporting and the fiat US Dollar, but cannot sustain their debt any longer.
The fiat Global Financial system was crumbling, though a monumental shift has been happening since the (allegedly) Nov. 28 2025 shotgun start of the Global Currency Reset.
The new revalued gold/asset-backed currency rates on the Quantum Financial System (QFS) (allegedly) locked into place on Fri. 5 Dec. 2025 and would be announced to the public in Jan. 2026.
The gold backed QFS was set to replace the corrupt banking system that has enslaved the World for centuries. This fully decentralized system was set to eliminate the Central Banks and their criminal grip on global finance.
At 00:00 Z**u sharp on Sat. morning 6 Dec. the Saint Germain World Trust (allegedly) released the “Infinity Tranche” uncountable zeros. Every humanitarian wallet on Earth just received an irreversible nine-figure starter balance.
A few moments later at 00.06 Z**u on Sat. 6 Dec. all sovereign rate screens(allegedly) showed “Redeemed.”
By Mon. 8 Dec. 2025 the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) was set to activate worldwide and give pointers on how to access your banking money account already mirrored onto the QFS.
Tier 4B appointments for those in the Internet Group who hold foreign currencies and Zim Bonds (allegedly) commence on Tues. 9 Dec. 2025
Thurs. 18 Dec. will (allegedly) see a full global rollout of the Global Currency Reset to the general public.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Global Currency Reset:
Sat. 6 Dec. 2025 Wolverine: Wolvie says he will be fully under NDA in a few days. He will do the opera but will be off Telegram. Triggers will receive their master contracts today, to sign. Secondary contracts will go to their members. After signing and returning, they will be paid on Monday. Early payments of GESARA have begun. The taking down of the fiat dollar and banking systems has begun. The transition is designed to happen without mass panic. The system that was designed around hidden taxes and inflation is crumbling. NESARA protocols are being activated. These things won’t be explained in traditional channels. Redemption Centers are ready for December/January intake. The current window, as people focus on the holidays, is ideal. Re Tier 4b, there are lots of rumors. The private sector is moving and people are definitely being paid.
Sat. 6 Dec. 2025 A2Z has confirmed what Wolvie reported, particularly the following:
• Wolvie will be fully under NDA within the next few days.
• Triggers are receiving master contracts now.
• Secondary contracts will follow, with payments expected Monday after execution.
• Tier 4B: Many rumors are circulating that Notifications are expected to begin as Tier 4A payments are dispersed.
• Redemption Centers are prepared and ready for intake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHY THE HOLIDAY TIMING MATTERS
The current window, late November through Christmas 2025, was chosen intentionally. During this period, public attention is fragmented and the nation’s energy is focused on family, travel, and celebration.
It is the ideal moment for Treasury, DoD, and civilian clearance teams to finalize the structural components of the new financial era without interference.
The coming weeks are not about celebration alone, they are about positioning. Those who have followed the signals understand the magnitude of what is unfolding.
The January 2026 transition is not approaching. It is already in motion.

Militia Man Iraq is further along than the headlines suggest because that's what's taking place in that quiet hush that I talk about. They're further along and that's really powerful...Because those quiet signals...are turning louder because they're done with the quiet. They're over that. Now they need to start talking about it and they are. It confirms just how ready Iraq is to get into the international environment.
Mnt Goat It is early December and the CBI may still go ahead with removing the zeros in time for a January release. Oh… but remember it does not have to happen exactly on January 1st as there are thirty-one days in the month. They could also change the plan and remove the zeros in early January and release in late January. There are options...
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: They're running that speech from Alaq again on TV. He said 1310 officially/ legally expires at the end of December '25. FRANK: For those of you who exaggerate, we're not saying there's a new rate on January 1st. We're talking about December 31st. We have no idea what's going to happen on January 1st. <smirk> I'm serious. <laugh> ...If you guys can't take a hint...I don't how else they can tell you it's coming...that you're about to get your purchasing power...I don't know what's going to happen on the 1st of January 2026. I wish I did. I can only imagine...welcome 1 to 1 IMO...

Visa Pushes Into Syria, Expanding Digital Payments in a Sanction-Shaken Economy
Global rails enter contested territory as financial access is rewired
Overview
Visa signs agreement with Syria’s central bank to build a national digital-payments ecosystem
Move brings global payment rails into one of the world’s most isolated financial systems
Signals accelerating expansion of digital infrastructure in conflict-impacted economies
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Visa Pushes Into Syria, Expanding Digital Payments in a Sanction-Shaken Economy
Global rails enter contested territory as financial access is rewired
Overview
Visa signs agreement with Syria’s central bank to build a national digital-payments ecosystem
Move brings global payment rails into one of the world’s most isolated financial systems
Signals accelerating expansion of digital infrastructure in conflict-impacted economies
Key Developments
Visa’s entry marks a strategic shift—bringing Western payment technology into a country long cut off from major financial networks.
Syria’s central bank frames the deal as modernization, aiming to digitize commerce and reduce reliance on cash.
The partnership suggests geopolitical flexibility—as global payment firms seek growth in underbanked or reconstruction-phase regions.
Digital-payment expansion is becoming a competitive geopolitical tool, allowing influence in markets once considered too risky.
Why It Matters
Digital rails are becoming a core strategic asset in the emerging global financial restructuring. Expanding into conflict-affected regions allows payment giants to set standards, create new dependencies, and influence future cross-border trade flows—aligning with a broader transition toward programmable, trackable, and globally interconnected financial systems.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Visa’s move shows how digital-payment infrastructure is becoming a decisive global lever, especially in nations rebuilding economic systems.
Pillar: Trade & Payments – Establishing new rails in previously isolated countries shifts regional commerce patterns and reduces reliance on legacy correspondent networks.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

China’s Data Sovereignty Push Weakens WTO E-Commerce Rules — Indonesia Caught in the Crossfire
Digital protectionism fractures global trade as data replaces oil as the world’s strategic commodity
Overview
China’s data-sovereignty doctrine is reshaping global digital-trade rules and eroding WTO authority
Fragmentation of cross-border data standards threatens developing nations’ bargaining power
Indonesia faces rising costs, weakened position, and strategic vulnerability amid global digital realignment
Key Developments
WTO e-commerce frameworks are failing, unable to regulate digital markets that now depend on global data flows rather than physical goods.
The U.S. champions digital liberalism, pushing free-flow regimes that benefit Big Tech but lack consistent domestic privacy protections.
China advances “Data Mercantilism,” requiring strict localization under its Cybersecurity Law and PIPL, turning data into a state-controlled strategic asset.
Digital protectionism is spreading — India’s DPDPA 2025, EU transfer restrictions, and other national regimes are creating a maze of conflicting rules.
Developing nations like Indonesia lose leverage, forced to accept unfavorable provisions in bilateral negotiations due to the absence of unified global standards.
Why It Matters
The WTO’s inability to modernize digital-trade rules is accelerating a shift toward regional blocs and unilateral controls. Data — the backbone of global e-commerce and AI — has become a strategic commodity, and the battle between digital liberalism and data mercantilism is reshaping global power structures. For countries without the scale of the U.S. or China, this fragmentation dramatically erodes bargaining power and raises compliance costs.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Control of data flows is becoming central to national power, altering the architecture of global digital infrastructure.
Pillar: Trade – Fragmented rules signal the breakdown of multilateral trade systems, pushing nations into competing digital blocs.
Pillar: Assets – Data itself becomes a monetized asset class, with governance determining who extracts value and who becomes a digital raw-material supplier.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Digital Sovereignty Wars Escalate as China Reshapes WTO Rules and Europe Targets U.S. Tech
Fragmented data governance pushes the world deeper into competing digital blocs
Overview
WTO e-commerce rules are collapsing amid China’s expanding data-sovereignty doctrine
Digital protectionism spreads as nations impose localization rules and platform regulations
EU fines against X highlight a widening transatlantic battle over tech control, free speech, and data flows
Key Developments
Cross-border data flows now underpin a US$6.86 trillion e-commerce ecosystem, yet the WTO remains unable to craft binding rules to protect digital trade.
China’s Cybersecurity Law and PIPL enforce strict localization, framing data as a sovereign asset essential to national security and technological independence.
The U.S. pushes for open data flows, but domestic privacy inconsistencies weaken its negotiating position and fuel accusations of double standards.
Indonesia is caught between competing digital ideologies, facing higher compliance costs and weakened bargaining power as global rules fragment.
Europe’s record fine against X reveals a new fault line—the EU’s aggressive regulatory posture against Big Tech is clashing with U.S. officials who call the penalties a political attack on American platforms.
Trump-era officials, including Marco Rubio and JD Vance, accuse Brussels of censorship-driven regulation, highlighting widening ideological divergence over digital governance.
Why It Matters
The global trading system is splitting along digital-sovereignty lines. China’s mercantilist model, the U.S. free-flow agenda, and Europe’s regulatory maximalism are incompatible—leaving countries like Indonesia without a stable framework. As governance fractures, digital markets are shifting from a unified global system toward rival spheres of control, transforming how value, information, and influence flow across borders.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Technology – Control of data and platforms is becoming the primary lever of geopolitical power, shaping who sets the rules of the digital economy.
Pillar: Trade – With WTO mechanisms paralyzed, nations are defaulting to regional and unilateral rules, accelerating the breakdown of multilateral trade.
Pillar: Governance – The U.S.–EU fight over platform regulation signals a deeper realignment: digital regulation is now a central arena of geopolitical competition.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) December 3, 2025
The ancient people of Uruk— who lived in modern-day southern Iraq more than 5,000 years ago— didn’t seem terribly interested in bequeathing colorful stories of their civilization to history.
Rather than memorialize abundant tales of their immense works, or chisel countless tablets embellishing stories of their military victories, the main artifacts they left behind to modern historians are rather mundane market accounts and grain prices.
Some Thoughts on Silver’s All Time High
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) December 3, 2025
The ancient people of Uruk— who lived in modern-day southern Iraq more than 5,000 years ago— didn’t seem terribly interested in bequeathing colorful stories of their civilization to history.
Rather than memorialize abundant tales of their immense works, or chisel countless tablets embellishing stories of their military victories, the main artifacts they left behind to modern historians are rather mundane market accounts and grain prices.
It would be as if the only thing to be locked into a time capsule from our own era were the stock section of the Wall Street Journal. It would hardly be a reasonable description of our time.
Nevertheless, the ancient scribes of Uruk went to great lengths to record financial and commercial transactions. And one of the things we can see from their civilization is that they used silver (and NOT gold) as the primary medium of exchange.
It’s interesting to note that they did not bother minting coins. Rather, silver was weighed in bulk— the unit of measurement eventually becoming the shekel, around 8.3 grams— and then traded for grain.
(Just imagine paying for your groceries by piling a bunch of scrap and raw silver onto a scale.)
Gold was obviously a well-known commodity and considered extremely valuable... but far too rare to be used as everyday money. So silver remained the dominant financial standard for thousands of years.
Even by the time of the ancient Greeks, and then subsequently the Roman Republic, silver coins (the Greek drachma and Roman denarius) were the primary currencies of those civilizations.
But by then there was a bi-metallic system... a fixed ‘exchange rate’ that governments set between gold and silver.
In ancient Babylon during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, for example, cuneiform tablets show silver being exchanged for gold at a ratio of 10 to 1.
A few decades later, in the 6th century BC, King Croesus of Lydia minted the first standardized gold and silver coins, setting an official exchange rate—again, roughly 10 to 1.
The Persians under Darius the Great fixed it at 13 to 1. The Romans under Julius Caesar set it at 12 to 1.
Even as recently as 1792, the newly formed United States established a silver-to-gold ratio of 15 to 1 in the very first Coinage Act.
It wasn’t until the late 20th century—when postwar Bretton Woods gold standard was fully abandoned—that this ratio between gold and silver was finally left to the market. Since then it’s ranged from about 25:1… all the way up to 120:1.
Right now it’s somewhere in the middle of that modern range— around 73:1... and the ratio has been falling fast, primarily because silver has been on an absolute tear.
This is pretty crazy when you think about it; gold has skyrocketed this year. But silver is up even more.
And there are a lot of people who focus very heavily on this silver-to-gold ratio and believe that it will inevitably fall to its historic average of roughly 50:1. Still others think that the ratio will fall even further to 15:1, where it was originally set by Congress in 1792.
This would mean $85+ silver, or even $250+ silver.
But here’s the problem: the gold/silver ratio is meaningless. There’s no law or financial regulation requiring the ratio to be at a certain level. Just because it has historically hovered around 50:1 doesn’t mean it can’t go to 5,000:1.
Instead, in order to understand either metal’s trajectory, we should look at supply and demand.
This is why we’ve been so bullish on gold; for the past three years, central bank demand for gold has been soaring, primarily because foreign countries have been rapidly and aggressively diversifying their US dollar holdings.
And for a sovereign government, gold makes a lot of sense. It’s portable. Universally recognized. It’s a traditional strategic reserve asset.
And most importantly, unlike US government bonds or even IMF “Strategic Drawing Rights”, gold isn’t controlled by anyone... no other government, central bank, or supranational institution.
So there’s zero counterparty risk, i.e. no country has to be worried about being sanctioned or frozen out of its own gold bullion holdings.
This trend of foreign governments and central banks buying massive quantities of gold has sent the metal to its all-time high. And that extra demand has been more than enough to offset weakening gold demand in the jewelry sector.
Moreover, as we regularly argue, this trend is not going away anytime soon. As long as the US fiscal situation remains dismal, foreign countries will continue diversifying out of the dollar.
Silver, on the other hand, does not have such a strong long-term catalyst.
Central banks aren’t buying it; the market is far too small, and silver far too cheap. Foreign countries can much more easily buy $100 billion worth of gold. They just can’t do that with silver.
We’ve predicted in the past that silver would likely follow gold’s run-up— NOT because it shares the same monetary fundamentals, but because investor psychology.
Obviously there’s no telling how far this speculation can go; investors could potentially push silver prices much, much higher from here.
But without that same long-term institutional demand from central banks, silver's trajectory is much harder to predict... and to justify.
It’s also noteworthy that more than half of silver demand comes from industrial applications such as solar panels, electric vehicles, 5G infrastructure, semiconductors, and medical technologies.
According to the Silver Institute, industrial demand for silver hit an all-time high of 680.5 million ounces in 2024, the fourth straight year of growth in that category.
Importantly, total silver demand has consistently outpaced supply. The global silver market ran a structural deficit in both 2023 and 2024, meaning more silver was consumed than produced.
This created an obvious catalyst for higher silver prices.
But it’s important to understand that industrial demand is not the same as central bank demand.
When central banks buy gold, they aren’t trying to time the market or flip it for a profit. They’re diversifying reserves. It’s a long-term, strategic shift—motivated by growing mistrust in the US dollar.
In short, central banks buy gold irrespective of price.
But silver doesn’t have that kind of anchor. Industrial demand is highly cyclical. It depends on global manufacturing activity, tech infrastructure, energy-sector spending, and overall economic health.
In an economic slowdown, much of that industrial demand could dry up quickly.
If the AI bubble bursts and data centers downsize, silver demand slows. If the “green energy” push implodes, and people decide they don’t want—or can’t afford—electric vehicles and solar panels, silver demand drops.
Jewelry demand, though smaller than industrial, faces the same problem. It’s sensitive to consumer spending.
To be clear, I’m not suggesting that the silver price is going to fall. I’m saying that it’s important to understand the differences.
With gold, foreign central banks are a clear and obvious long-term driver of demand. Silver demand, on the other hand, is being driven by speculation and highly volatile (and unpredictable) global economic factors.
And I think it’s important to be clear-eyed about the differences.

TNT:
Tishwash: Iraq achieves a historic leap in the speed of international trade through the TIR system
The International Road Transport Union (IRU) confirmed in a report on Friday that Iraq has become a strategic and rapid transit hub for international trade, having shortened the time it takes to transport large shipments from Europe to the region from weeks to just a few days.
The report, which Kalima News reviewed, stated that "the successful transfer of film equipment from Hungary to Jordan via the Iraqi international road in just six days, after it used to take five weeks, is evidence of a major transformation."

Tishwash: Iraq achieves a historic leap in the speed of international trade through the TIR system
The International Road Transport Union (IRU) confirmed in a report on Friday that Iraq has become a strategic and rapid transit hub for international trade, having shortened the time it takes to transport large shipments from Europe to the region from weeks to just a few days.
The report, which Kalima News reviewed, stated that "the successful transfer of film equipment from Hungary to Jordan via the Iraqi international road in just six days, after it used to take five weeks, is evidence of a major transformation."
The report noted that "this achievement highlights Iraq's growing role as a vital link connecting Europe with the Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, especially with the expansion of the use of the international (TIR) customs system, which speeds up procedures and reduces stops at borders."
The report noted that “the digital expansion of the system and the activation of transit routes through Iraq will enhance the country’s position on the global trade map, and will encourage the private sector to adopt the Iraqi route because of the time and cost savings it provides.”
It is worth noting that the Ministry of Transport had previously announced the implementation of successful trips within the (TIR) system, as more than 1,000 land transport operations were recorded on the Dohuk-Umm Qasr line since last June, reflecting a remarkable growth in commercial transport across Iraqi lands. link
Tishwash: An endless crisis: Why hasn't the oil and gas law been released from the drawers for 20 years?
For more than a decade, the energy sector in the Kurdistan Region has been a silent arena for an unresolved economic and political struggle. Despite the growing need for oil and gas within Iraq, what energy experts describe as a "systematic obstruction" of any attempt to develop the region's production infrastructure continues.
Energy expert and head of the Sustainable Energy Organization, Mohammed Amin Hawramani, confirms to "Baghdad Today" that internal parties in Baghdad have been "obstructing any expansion in the oil and gas sector in Kurdistan for years," whether by opposing the development of fields or limiting the work of foreign companies, despite the region's direct reliance on these sources to secure its needs for energy and oil derivatives.
Horamani points out that the Kurdistan Region, in accordance with its constitutional right, enacted an oil and gas law within its regional parliament, before the Federal Constitutional Court struck it down "in the absence of a federal oil and gas law that should have been passed nearly two decades ago."
The constitution clearly stipulates the necessity of enacting a federal law to regulate the management of oil wealth, but accumulated political disputes have left the issue unresolved for more than twenty years, creating a legislative vacuum with far-reaching economic consequences for both Baghdad and Erbil.
With the region's oil exports halted for over two years due to a complaint from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, losses mounted before exports resumed later under a tripartite agreement between Baghdad, the region, and foreign companies.
However, according to Horamani, the delay was not technical; rather, it reflected, in his view, "a genuine reluctance on the part of some to allow the region to manage its own production or exports," even though all sales are conducted through SOMO (State Oil Marketing Organization).
He adds that international and American pressure was a decisive factor in pushing Baghdad to accept the resumption of pumping, especially with the decline in global oil prices during the past three years to below the price adopted in the budget law ($70 per barrel), which made the federal government more dependent on the region’s revenues to finance the salaries item.
The expert points out that Iraq is "practically obligated to continue exporting via the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline," not only to secure revenues, but also to maintain a sensitive oil-water exchange equation with Ankara, which makes the energy route part of a broader network of regional interests.
For nearly twenty years, the federal oil and gas law remained inoperative despite being included in the constitution, leading to an unstable regulatory environment that affected long-term investments, disrupted domestic gas development plans, and kept the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil hostage to temporary understandings that changed with the change of governments.
Even today, the absence of this legislation remains one of the biggest factors hindering the building of a cohesive energy market within Iraq, and delaying the transition towards more efficient management of oil wealth, both in the region and in the rest of the provinces. link

Tishwash: The collapse of the Iranian currency: a crisis that shakes markets and confounds Kurdistan's traders.
The Iranian rial has been experiencing a sharp decline for days, the most severe in years, in a rapid downward wave that has cast a shadow over the markets of Iraqi Kurdistan, especially the banking sector, which relies heavily on the movement of the toman in daily buying and selling.
According to a Shafaq News Agency correspondent in Sulaymaniyah, the price of 100 US dollars reached about 12 million and 150 thousand Iranian Tomans, an unprecedented level that prompted many traders to recalculate their accounts.
Kawa Yahya, a currency trader in Sulaymaniyah, told Shafaq News that the recent decline was unexpected, stressing that demand for the dollar inside Iran rose exceptionally following the escalation of tensions between Tehran and both the United States and Israel, which put direct pressure on the local currency.
Yahya points out that what is happening today cannot be explained by economic standards alone, and in his opinion, "the political factor is the main driver of the current decline," expressing surprise that a country with such broad local self-sufficiency as that achieved in Iran cannot prevent this decline in its currency.
He adds that many currency traders in the Kurdistan Region have suffered significant losses as a result of the rapid decline, especially those who had been holding large quantities of Toman during the past period.
In the context of a broader economic analysis, economist Ismail Mohammed reveals to Shafaq News Agency that the current crisis has complex roots, starting from the outside and not ending at the inside.
The expert confirms that the deterioration of relations between Iran and the United States and European countries has put the local currency under direct political pressure, saying that "any disturbance between a country and America or Europe is quickly reflected in the value of its currency, and the Iranian rial is no exception."
But at the same time, he points to the existence of concurrent internal reasons, represented by a package of economic decisions that the Iranian government is preparing to implement at the beginning of next year, most notably raising fuel prices and increasing the prices of a number of local goods in exchange for government plans to raise employee salaries, which are measures that he believes will double the pressure on the currency and open the door to a new wave of inflation.
The agency's correspondent reports that the currency exchange markets in Sulaymaniyah, Halabja and Garmian have witnessed a clear state of confusion over the past two days, as a number of traders have reduced their transactions in Toman while waiting for the market to stabilize, while others reported a decline in demand from customers who usually relied on the Iranian currency for daily transfers or for purchasing goods coming from the Iranian side.
This decline comes in the context of a long downward trend witnessed by the Iranian currency during 2025. According to a quick tracking, the year began with a price of approximately 4.8 million tomans per 100 dollars, then it rose to about 7.5 million tomans in the middle of the year following a new round of US sanctions.
With the fall, and with the increase in regional tensions, the price exceeded 10 million tomans, reaching 11.15 million tomans in December, which is the lowest level in more than ten years.
Analysts agree that continued political tension and the absence of radical economic solutions could push the currency down further in the coming weeks unless Tehran intervenes with effective steps to curb the decline. link

As the festive season approaches, Jon Dowling’s weekly RV (Revaluation) report for December 5th, 2025, cuts through the holiday cheer to deliver a potent dose of critical insights, not financial advice, on the profound shifts occurring across global financial and geopolitical landscapes.
From Iraq’s burgeoning digital currency ambitions to the whispered promises of a coming “golden age,” the report paints a vivid picture of a world on the cusp of monumental change.
The report begins by pinpointing Iraq as a pivotal player in the evolving global financial landscape. Its ongoing efforts to integrate a digital dinar into the international system are gaining momentum, a move that could significantly reshape its economic future.
However, this progress unfolds against a backdrop of increasing regional instability. The intricate dance between Kurdish, Sunni, and Iranian factions continues to escalate tensions, with Israel notably positioned on the sidelines, its readiness for potential military action a silent, looming question.
This volatile environment underscores the complex challenges and opportunities facing nations attempting to modernize their financial infrastructure amidst deeply entrenched regional conflicts.
Shifting gears to the digital asset space, Dowling’s report emphasizes the burgeoning potential of cryptocurrencies, particularly XRP.
It’s framed as potentially one of the “last affordable investment opportunities” before an anticipated bull run. This optimistic outlook is explicitly linked to predicted changes within the U.S. Federal Reserve leadership.
The anticipated appointment of Kevin Hasset is highlighted, signaling a potential shift towards more crypto-friendly, low-interest policies that could fuel significant growth in the digital asset market. For many, this signals a pivotal moment for those looking to enter or expand their positions in the crypto space.
Perhaps the most transformative insights came via a revealing clip from X22’s financial report, where Donald Trump is quoted outlining a radical blueprint for America’s financial future. This vision transcends incremental policy changes, proposing a fundamental overhaul of the current system.
This comprehensive plan is presented as part of an anticipated “global monetary reset,” designed to dismantle existing debt-based systems and usher in a new era of financial solvency and integrity.
Despite the reported volatility and geopolitical complexities, the overall tone of Jon Dowling’s report remains cautiously optimistic. It suggests that while significant challenges lie ahead, the world is collectively moving towards a “golden age” of financial restructuring.
The convergence of digital currency adoption, a looming global monetary reset, and a re-evaluation of national financial strategies points to a future that could look dramatically different from our present.
For deeper dives and comprehensive understanding, Jon Dowling encourages viewers to watch the full video for further insights and information.
