- 3:56Take a snapshot of it. Go there after the show.
- 3:58You're not going to want a minute.
- 4:00I miss a minute of getting caught up for the week on all
- 4:03the big financial stuff. George, how are you bro I?
- 4:09Have to correct you on something, Lance, because yeah,
- 4:11you did say, you know, all you got to do is cut off a piece.
- 4:14You don't have to cut off a piece.
- 4:15All you got to do is break me off a piece of that prepper bar.
- 4:19Yeah, yeah. I was saying you could have to
- 4:21cut a piece off of A1 oz coin. These you can actually break
- 4:24off. No.
- 4:25No, no, I thought I did OK. Well, maybe not, who knows, I
- 4:29could make. Me off a piece of that prepper
- 4:31bar. There it is.
- 4:34All right, So you know, there's lots going on.
- 4:37Let's talk about the digital gold rush. 9 billion inflows
- 4:43into the Bitcoin ETF as gold maybe loses a little bit of its
- 4:48shine in comparison. People are very confident, of
- 4:51course, Bitcoin 2025 going off in Las Vegas ended yesterday, I
- 4:58believe. Is that right, George?
- 5:00Yes, it was from the 27th to the 29th.
- 5:03Now, I think a lot of people stayed over so they could try to
- 5:05do their connecting and see what they could get done.
- 5:09I know a lot of people are still in Vegas or maybe they're just
- 5:11going out. What do you think, George?
- 5:12I think they're cashing maybe some of their Bitcoin and
- 5:16hitting the casinos, I don't know.
- 5:17Maybe Scottie Pippen's there. I know that, but he's been
- 5:20posting online. He's a Bitcoin guy.
- 5:22You do all. Your you do all your networking
- 5:24there because I got boots and stuff set up so.
- 5:27Yeah. So I think this is a a really in
- 5:30my opinion of defining pivot in the global financial order.
- 5:33When you look at over 9 billion flooding into US Bitcoin ETFs in
- 5:38just the last five weeks and leading the charge, of course,
- 5:44none other than BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager of
- 5:47course. And at the same time,
- 5:50traditional gold backed ETFs long viewed as a safe haven and
- 5:54turbulent times, which I'd have to say we're in turbulent times,
- 5:57our bleeding capital, they've been shedding more than 2.8
- 6:00billion. And I think at this, this, this
- 6:04is the beginning of a historic capital migration from gold to
- 6:06Bitcoin. It might very well be.
- 6:08So you're looking at 9 billion and 80.
- 6:12I think it's almost almost 1,000,000 and almost a million
- 6:14more actually 9,000,080. 9. Billion 80. 9,80,000,000 just
- 6:23say it's just say 9 billion. Yeah, OK.
- 6:26All right. A 2.84 billion withdrawn from
- 6:28gold ETFs, Blackrock's I share Bitcoin Trust leads the pack
- 6:33with the most inflows of anybody.
- 6:36Behind that is Fidelity, Grayscale on ARC.
- 6:40So that's kind of a big deal. Of course, Fidelity's really
- 6:43being a big player in there also.
- 6:45So now Bitcoin ETF market command over 640,000 Bitcoin.
- 6:52Oh right, sovereign wealth. But why does this what's the why
- 6:56does this matter? What is this shift?
- 6:58Why? Why are we shifting from this?
- 7:00Lance I'm. Going to tell you well.
- 7:02The narrative's changing. You know gold has been the
- 7:08world's go to hedge for for millennia, right?
- 7:10It's always been gold. It's gold to me.
- 7:12Gold's still going to be number one because it's from the day
- 7:15was discovered, it's always held value, it's physical, it's
- 7:19beautiful, Julie, everything about it.
- 7:21But if we're talking about in today's decentralized
- 7:24data-driven world, Bitcoin is no longer just another crypto.
- 7:29It's emerging as a digital monetary anchor.
- 7:32And you, you could see it just from this conference.
- 7:35We had what, JD Vance there first time ever vice president
- 7:40there 1st. He's the 1st Vice President to
- 7:44ever attend. Right.
- 7:45And you got Bitcoin reserves, United States got it.
- 7:50A lot of other countries is doing it.
- 7:52So I mean it's emerging and plus it was the front runner crypto.
- 7:56How can you not go wrong with it?
- 7:59I mean, what you're you, we always talk about like all the
- 8:02institutions, even though we we want decentralization, that's
- 8:04our main goal. But institutions are hedging
- 8:07against sovereign debt risk. I don't know about that one.
- 8:11What do you think on the debt risk there?
- 8:14No, I think that's accurate. I think of course it's always a
- 8:17concern because when you look at the governments across the globe
- 8:20that do have debt issues just like the United States, 34
- 8:23trillion in debt on its way to 35 trillion, you know, it's a
- 8:27concern, right? And of course there, I think the
- 8:29other potential reason that institutions are kind of moving
- 8:31to it is they're bracing for the potential of what bricks on de
- 8:35dollarization and the currency wars that are kind of heating
- 8:37up. And I think I don't think
- 8:40there's anybody that isn't looking towards liquid
- 8:43programmable and borderless assets.
- 8:46It's really seems like that's kind of the future of where
- 8:48everything's heading. And I think the regulatory
- 8:52clarity that's happening in this administration is really kind of
- 8:57leading the the forefront of this cause.
- 8:59Of course, we've had many ETF approvals.
- 9:01We know we've got ETF approvals coming on in on XRP, Ethereum
- 9:05and many others. So you know this, what we've
- 9:08done by getting rid of Gary the Weasel Ginsler is we've kind of
- 9:12really opened things up. And I think with the BRICS
- 9:14nations expanding trade, you know, in gold and local
- 9:17currencies, George, I think these American institutions may
- 9:20be trying to counterbalance by doubling down on digital reserve
- 9:24assets. At least that's my opinion.
- 9:26Yeah. And so this isn't, you know,
- 9:29it's not just about inflation hedging, right?
- 9:30It's about Geo strategic alignment.
- 9:35But Lance, I, I got, I want to bring up though something.
- 9:37But so you look at the government's stockpiling on
- 9:44Bitcoin reserves, right? Ever.
- 9:47I'm wondering are all these governments trying to monopolize
- 9:50and get as much Bitcoin as they can and be the the sore holders
- 9:56of it just when they can control it?
- 9:58Well, there's only a limited number of Bitcoin, and we don't
- 10:00know how many people have lost access to their seed phrases.
- 10:02So we don't really know how much is out there.
- 10:05We know that Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, which is the biggest
- 10:08Bitcoin holder of any wallet out there, it still hasn't come back
- 10:11online. A lot of people think it's Paul
- 10:13LaRue. The timing is strange because
- 10:15he's in he's in prison, and when he went to prison, it all got
- 10:18shut down. Some other people think that
- 10:20maybe Paul LaRue made some kind of a deal with the CIA and that
- 10:23the CIA is controlling that wallet at this point.
- 10:26Are they? I have no idea, you know, but
- 10:29look, I think the think key is, is a Bitcoin at the moment is
- 10:32unconfiscatable, right? Untouchable by sanctions and
- 10:35it's borderless. I don't so I'm I don't know is
- 10:40that it like an accurate statement saying it's
- 10:41unconfiscatable because they have confiscated before
- 10:45governments, our own governments compensated Bitcoin from people.
- 10:49Well, I will say this, you know, is it truly completely
- 10:52unconfiscatable? Probably not.
- 10:54Although there are dark wallets for about 10 grand at these
- 10:58conferences, you can find wallets that basically have no
- 11:00tracking on them. They're the old wallets, and
- 11:03those old wallets make it extremely difficult unless you
- 11:06get caught with it in your possession.
- 11:08These are these are cold storage wallets make it very difficult
- 11:12to even know whose wallet that is and who's trading it.
- 11:14So unless you got caught actually interacting, let's say
- 11:18you were on the dark web and you decide you're going to buy
- 11:20yourself a Stinger missile and they could track that back and
- 11:23then you'd have to actually be caught with the wallet because
- 11:25the wallets come with basically no identity attached to them.
- 11:30So it's a true thing. I you know, it's interesting.
- 11:32I only learned about that about a year ago.
- 11:34But you know, I think that I think the basic thing here,
- 11:37George, these inflows really, in my opinion, represent a real
- 11:40paradigm shift in trust. Well, I mean, we can look at
- 11:44like, all right, let's take Wall Street, right?
- 11:46You know, opinions are that Wall Street made Bitcoin boring,
- 11:50which is a good thing. It means it's here to stay.
- 11:53And the fact that trillions are now potentially being
- 11:57repositioned tells you that the digital gold has arrived.
- 12:03Now, I like that digital gold, the physical gold is gold, even
- 12:07though it's not in Fort Knox. Everybody, we've been saying
- 12:09this. Yeah, no kidding.
- 12:11We cover that on today's show. George and I, if you didn't
- 12:14catch that show, you should, you know, watch the Big Ming show
- 12:16from today. No, that was yesterday.
- 12:19Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. That was yesterday.
- 12:20Thursday, I forgot because sometimes these days run
- 12:22together. So Thursday, you definitely want
- 12:24to check out. Watch that show.
- 12:26And we'll give you all the details of why we don't believe
- 12:28the gold is there. Clearly enough.
- 12:30Elon Musk doesn't believe it's there.
- 12:32I'm not sure that that's not part of how he's feeling right
- 12:35now. And Donald Trump sure has gone
- 12:37all crickets here. No evil speak no evil, See no
- 12:41evil when it comes to Fort Knox, you know, just doing there's.
- 12:44No gold, but like what? Crickets.
- 12:46Let's talk about what does this mean for our global markets.
- 12:48So gold, gold is revelant. It will always be.
- 12:52I always say this, it's going to, it's always a top holder for
- 12:56your money if you want. You know, you should be
- 12:59diversified in some bullion, Yeah.
- 13:00But it's no longer the only store of value that institutions
- 13:03trust. And you know what, Lance?
- 13:06I wonder if this big shift is because we don't, there really
- 13:09is no gold in Fort Knox. So they're going to go with the
- 13:11bitcoins now. I don't know, maybe Bitcoin.
- 13:14Bitcoin has definitely matured into an asset class with liquid
- 13:18liquidity, compliance frameworks and, you know, global custody
- 13:22because you see all these other governments now doing Bitcoin
- 13:25reserves. But central facts, they're
- 13:27watching closely to keeping an eye on US Bitcoin reserves.
- 13:32So what can we expect from this? You can probably think of, you
- 13:35know, new frameworks for crypto asset integration into sovereign
- 13:38balance sheets. And the more I hear about
- 13:42central banks, the more I hate it because I just want them out,
- 13:46keep them away. Let's just get rid of central
- 13:48banking. We don't need and you know, just
- 13:50for the audience, I don't want you guys to think this is some
- 13:52sort of a 0 sum game. A lot of people are like, well,
- 13:55what should I hold? Should I hold Bitcoin?
- 13:56Should I hold gold? First of all, buy and hold in
- 13:59Bitcoin is very tricky. That's one of the reasons we
- 14:01always talk about Block trust IRA on on this show.
- 14:04We tell you about it because it's, it's a, it's a, a product
- 14:07that actually uses an AI product for trading Bitcoin.
- 14:09So you they're looking for volatility.
- 14:11They don't care whether it's high or low and they're, they're
- 14:13out. They're really beating the
- 14:15Bitcoin buy and hold strategy. So you should check that out.
- 14:18Block trust IRA later on we'll talk about it block
- 14:20trustira.com. But here's the deal.
- 14:23I think the analysts, you know, are suggesting that portfolios
- 14:26need to be a kind of balancing and diversifying into both
- 14:29assets. I think gold is great for
- 14:32traditional security and a lot of people are predicting gold's
- 14:34going to be 4000 oz. We'll talk about that in a bit.
- 14:37But Bitcoin is kind of the thing where it's, you know, it's
- 14:40innovative and the portability of that, especially if you're
- 14:43traveling quite a bit, you know, they've got now they've got
- 14:46credit cards that could be linked to your Bitcoin wallet
- 14:49and you can use that to pay for items and a lot more companies.
- 14:51Look, look at Steak and Shake. They went to the Bitcoin
- 14:54conference, brought in all the bit, the Steak and Shake cows,
- 14:58and they're promoting the heck out of it.
- 14:59They're talking about the fact that they're getting their
- 15:01transactions much more quickly. They've cut down on transaction
- 15:04fees and people are paying for their burgers with Bitcoin.
- 15:07And let's face it, that was something that was totally
- 15:09unthinkable just about what, three years ago?
- 15:13Paying for a burger with Bitcoin?
- 15:15Tell that the guy. Tell that the guy.
- 15:17Just comes down to the fact that, you know, right now, the
- 15:20fact that if you think about that Bitcoin surpassing gold in
- 15:23these ETFs, yeah, it's probably kind of a big deal.
- 15:25I mean, when you really think about that as far as the grand
- 15:28scale, you would have never thought if we said that three
- 15:30years ago, people would have said George Lance, you guys are
- 15:33freaking crazy. Yeah.
- 15:35That's never going. To I might have said that I
- 15:37mean, just just tell the guy that paid 40,000 Bitcoin for two
- 15:40pizzas. But listen, this isn't just a
- 15:42market movement, right? We're talking about monetary
- 15:46reformation in real time. And you look at when big
- 15:51companies like companies like BlackRock moves, a lot of people
- 15:55the world follow, even the world will follow.
- 15:57And you got to look at BlackRock, it's 9 billion and
- 16:00this is just the opening act with them.
- 16:03So the error of institution Bitcoin is officially here and
- 16:08it's not going away. But with Bitcoin, others may
- 16:12follow. You're going to have ETH, you're
- 16:14going to have XRPI. Think XRP is going to be the
- 16:16next front runner. We'll see.
- 16:18Yeah, we're still waiting. For what's going on, you know,
- 16:20David Schwartz had some interesting things to say.
- 16:23He had an interview at the Bitcoin conference that I
- 16:26watched, and he had some very interesting things to say about
- 16:28the institutional adoption of XRP and some of the
- 16:31announcements they've got coming up.
- 16:33So a lot of people think that we're going to see a massive
- 16:36move on XRP. I always tell people, they say,
- 16:39well, what do you think I should buy?
- 16:39I said the first thing you should buy is stable coins.
- 16:42After that, you know, I think looking around, but I think
- 16:44sticking with all coins is kind of the move.
- 16:47Most people can't afford a Bitcoin.
- 16:49So maybe maybe you can invest with a company like Block Trust
- 16:51IRA. That's an opportunity that you
- 16:53should check out. Anybody hold on, Anybody can
- 16:56afford a Bitcoin, that's a great, that's a beauty about it
- 16:59you don't need. A piece of a Bitcoin.
- 17:00I didn't mean the whole 1. Yeah, no, I know.
- 17:02But you know, some people may not know that.
- 17:04No, no, no. But I said a Bitcoin.
- 17:06I didn't say a piece of a Bitcoin.
- 17:09Yeah, but you could just say any, I just say my, my world.
- 17:12I say anybody can own Bitcoin. You can, you can own $100 worth.
- 17:16You can own 10 million worth. The the choice is there.
- 17:18Is no doubt that you are accurate about that.
- 17:19So yeah. That is true, all right?
- 17:22Gold at $4000 an ounce. That's the prediction that
- 17:24Goldman Sachs is making. It's kind of a bombshell
- 17:27forecast. You know, I think as as far as
- 17:31we've said before, we think gold is going to keep moving.
- 17:34We think that silver is undervalued.
- 17:37And of course, you know, bitcoins got the spotlight, but
- 17:39you have to look at what's going on.
- 17:41There's some moves going on in bricks.
- 17:43And now Goldman Sachs saying that gold could hit $4000
- 17:46rounds, that's going to that's going to shatter all the
- 17:49previous records. You know, we already hit that
- 17:50record at 3500 and change. And I think this is kind of a
- 17:54big play here, George. This is they're predicting that
- 17:57yellow metal, which has been dismissed by a lot of the young
- 18:00traders in favor of digital assets and meme coins, could
- 18:04could really hit some big numbers here.
- 18:09It could, but like we talked to like the meme coins.
- 18:13The meme coins are have been slowly like being brushed under
- 18:17the rug. There's too much nefarious
- 18:19things going on with it. But when you have the like your
- 18:22big cryptos like Bitcoin, XRPETH and Solona, you have like it's
- 18:28it's security with those in a sense.
- 18:30But gold, I mean, they're saying 4000 by the end of the year.
- 18:35My prediction was 38. So I could actually maybe see
- 18:38this possible. It's fluctuating now it's I
- 18:41think it's it's around 3300 and change today gold.
- 18:46So I mean. Yeah, well, it's kind of a
- 18:50perfect storm this way. Yeah, it is.
- 18:52When you see a weakening U.S. dollar, of course, because of
- 18:55the debt monetization and the all those ballooning deficits.
- 18:58That's why everybody's so worried about the big beautiful
- 19:01bill. They're worried about the
- 19:01continued debt. Of course, that's always a plus
- 19:04for gold. And then the potential for
- 19:06global de dollarization with bricks, it's bricks is still
- 19:10moving along. It doesn't have as much momentum
- 19:12as it had before Donald Trump became president.
- 19:14But you're looking at pushing local currency trades and gold
- 19:17and, you know, in gold settlement, that's another
- 19:19impact. And then you've got a lot of
- 19:21geopolitical instability. Yeah, pretty much we're, you
- 19:23know, you know, war risk premiums, trade breakdowns,
- 19:27bunch of sovereign default fears because of it.
- 19:31And then, you know, add this to this, and a lot of this has got
- 19:34to do with bricks. You're seeing lots of central
- 19:36banks, George, accumulating, you know, and they're reaching what
- 19:39I would consider decade highs, even though we don't know how
- 19:42much gold the United States has. A lot of these other countries
- 19:45are fully audited and we do know what they have and they are
- 19:49stockpiling. Are they fully audited?
- 19:52So, well, at least at least based on what they tell their
- 19:56audiences and they've had some of them have actually had visual
- 20:00audits that I've read about. I looked it up a couple days ago
- 20:03when I was thinking about the whole Fort Knox audit.
- 20:06I was wondering if other countries did audits.
- 20:08And in fact they have some of them do video audits along with
- 20:12other stuff using independent companies to audit their their
- 20:16bullion I. Mean have you go watch our show
- 20:22from Thursday. Listen, it could could be gold,
- 20:26but it could be tungsten, right? Tungsten I believe it is weighs
- 20:29the same as gold from the other country.
- 20:31Tungsten. Who knows?
- 20:32Played tungsten, whistleblowers came out, George, that's what we
- 20:35were talking about. They said that Fort Knox some of
- 20:38the bars are tungsten and they are gold plated.
- 20:41So I mean, so you don't know if other countries are doing that
- 20:43too. We don't know.
- 20:44Oh yeah, you're right, Valid point.
- 20:47So I mean, who the hell knows? But I just want to know, and
- 20:52I'll say this, where's the gold? Who has the gold?
- 20:56Well, I think what's really important about this is that,
- 20:59you know, to me, when when people lose trust in Fiat
- 21:02systems as they start to implode, much like what's going
- 21:06here in the US. And I think when governments
- 21:09just like the US over leverage and over print that I think the
- 21:14smart money moves into a hard asset like gold.
- 21:18And that's why gold has survived every single currency collapse
- 21:22in history. Well, I mean, you brought up a
- 21:25point with like the weakening of the US dollar.
- 21:27And you look at investors, they're they don't their main,
- 21:31they're not worried about tariffs like you just seen this
- 21:33week where a judge ruled against Trump's tariffs and then appeals
- 21:38court overturned that. But the investors are more
- 21:41worried about debt. That's what hinders them.
- 21:44That's what scares them the most is debt.
- 21:46And let's face it, and that's what you know, we weaken the US
- 21:48dollar. Our debt is go crazy.
- 21:51And with this bill that they're trying to push, the big
- 21:54beautiful bill. What's mind boggling, Lance, is
- 21:58like we, we have to get rid of, we have to start bringing down
- 22:01our debt and stop and be cautious of how how our country
- 22:04spends money. And that bill didn't have any of
- 22:08the doge cuts in it. So now it's going to be
- 22:12restructured. It's, you know, it's not, it's
- 22:14going to go back to it's going to go in the Senate.
- 22:16They're going to add doge cuts. That has to go back to the
- 22:18Congress. They're going to have to prove
- 22:19it. Who knows?
- 22:20They have to go back to some committees.
- 22:22I think it's going to be a while before that gets approved.
- 22:25And but that investors, you'll see why the that's a good reason
- 22:29why the US dollars weakening. Yeah.
- 22:33And, you know, Goldman didn't pit, you know, they didn't come
- 22:35out and say we're pitting gold against Bitcoin.
- 22:38They're just saying that they think gold is a more stable
- 22:41hedge, that the Bitcoin still has too much volatility for
- 22:45traditional risk models. So when they look at it, they're
- 22:48looking at historical risk and saying, well, there's been
- 22:51these, you know, gigantic, you know, roller coaster ride in
- 22:55Bitcoin if you're looking for stable investment with what we
- 22:59consider to be upside and this is it.
- 23:01And of course, and they're looking, of course, Goldman has
- 23:04access and they pay close attention to all the, you know,
- 23:08the, the bank purchases. So central banks right now you
- 23:11got Russia, China, Turkey and India, they're all, they're all
- 23:15buying lots of gold and putting into their central banks.
- 23:18So far, over 1100 metric tons of gold were added in the past year
- 23:24to those sovereign reserves. So, you know, and, and, and
- 23:27because of bricks and other things, I feel like gold is kind
- 23:30of being weaponized. And I think it's a financial
- 23:32tool that's insulating against U.S. sanctions.
- 23:34Because let's face it, that's what the US government has done
- 23:37many times. They've used the power of the US
- 23:39dollar to sanction countries. And a lot of people want to
- 23:43break away from SWIFT. So you can see why they want a
- 23:47non Fiat currency. They don't want SWIFT.
- 23:50They want a blockchain system, a decentralized finance system.
- 23:54But they still want to have gold as a secure asset.
- 23:57Well, I mean to get rid of Swift, yeah, you're talking
- 24:02about getting rid of the Cabal in this world.
- 24:06But anyway, if you look at gold, though, there's still so many
- 24:11monetary values to it because look how it's used in so many
- 24:14different applications from from your TV monitors to space on
- 24:19vehicles, satellites. It's no matter what, it will
- 24:22always hold its value. But will it continue?
- 24:27I don't know. I'm going with a coin too,
- 24:30though. And like Lance, you said
- 24:32earlier, you know it's always good to diversify.
- 24:35Yeah. Don't had your money.
- 24:37Don't had your money all in one plate.
- 24:38Don't put your eggs all in one basket.
- 24:40I'll keep it simple right there. Yeah, get different baskets.
- 24:45Well, I'll tell you this, I think if gold crosses you know
- 24:483600 in the third quarter, I would expect a lot of these late
- 24:53to the party institutions to start really making moves on
- 24:56gold themselves, maybe buying Atfs themselves.
- 25:00We'll see what happens. I don't know what'll happen but
- 25:02and I think the second part of that'll be silver and platinum
- 25:05will jump on board with that cycle.
- 25:06So I think 3600 because of the support at that is some of the
- 25:10levels right now at the 3300, we see a lot of support going on
- 25:14there. I think that accumulation is
- 25:16really the potential for it to cross over 3600 on this next
- 25:19push through that third quarter. I think it's really could
- 25:22happen. And you know, a lot of people
- 25:26thought it was a barbaric relic. I think not.
- 25:29So we'll see. You know, a lot of people are
- 25:32predicting some real, real issues in the US dollar if we
- 25:36don't get our spending under control, just like you said.
- 25:39Yeah, you know, you burn up silver.
- 25:41I wonder what's going on with the silver with the EV
- 25:43batteries. Samsung supposedly has already
- 25:46signed three different companies.
- 25:48They haven't announced it. They're getting their production
- 25:51system is in place and they're saying that they've signed three
- 25:53different large car manufacturers.
- 25:56I looked it up about a week ago. Look at that.
- 25:59Yeah, I can revolutionize with the EVs and batteries, I think
- 26:03it was. 1K of silver per battery.
- 26:07Battery pack Not per battery, per battery pack, per vehicle.
- 26:13Yeah, but you know what? Like you can always recycle that
- 26:16silver when that battery's done and over with though.
- 26:18Yeah, Can you imagine that? You know The thing is people are
- 26:20trying to be breaking into steal that silver if he keeps going up
- 26:22a price kilo's worth a lot now you know, could could start a
- 26:27whole new black those. Batteries are not just like
- 26:30underneath the hood, they're like.
- 26:31No, no, they're underneath the seas.
- 26:33Yeah. You have to take the whole car
- 26:35apart. Yeah, yeah, I know a guy that
- 26:37fixes those batteries. Very complicated.
- 26:40All right, let's talk about bricks and the US dollar and and
- 26:46let's talk about gold, XRP and the rise of a parallel financial
- 26:49system. This is big stuff.
- 26:52You know what, what I got to ask?
- 26:54You got to think about this. What happens when when five of
- 26:56the world's largest economies ditch the dollar, hoard gold,
- 27:02and weaponized the blockchain to build their own financial system
- 27:05outside of SWIFT? What are your thoughts here?
- 27:08George, I mean, listen, it's not.
- 27:10People say oh you and your conspiracies this and that, but
- 27:13now what now? No, this is legit.
- 27:14I know it's not conspiracy theory anymore.
- 27:17This is a de dollarization on a global scale.
- 27:22And it's just it's actually moving at a rapid pace.
- 27:25Bricks is not just challenging the Western dominance.
- 27:27They are constructing an entirely new monetary
- 27:30foundation. And you know, with Trump's visit
- 27:33over there in the Middle East and the way he was treated, my,
- 27:38my opinion was that it almost bricks is going to be taking a
- 27:41back seat because, you know, you have a new leader.
- 27:45They have a lot of trust and faith in them and, and the way
- 27:49he does business and especially with with crypto and everything,
- 27:53what's going on over there. But however, if Congress doesn't
- 27:57get on top of their game and try to fix our financial system
- 28:02within too much overspending, do more cutbacks and if our dollar
- 28:07keeps weakening, you know, bricks.
- 28:09And I'm sad to say, I, and I don't want to even want to say
- 28:12the word, but bricks could be looking better and better.
- 28:15We should just do it ourselves. But you know what, Lance?
- 28:18Why would they do it here in the United States?
- 28:20Because there is no gold. Yeah.
- 28:22That's only yeah. That may very well be true, but
- 28:24you know, and I think this is really important for people to
- 28:27understand. So what you're really looking
- 28:28at, guys, this is a what I consider a three pronged assault
- 28:32on the dollar. So first you've got, of course,
- 28:35everybody knows about it, just that they're trying to de
- 28:36dollarize all these nations and those BRIC nations, Brazil,
- 28:39Russia, India, China, South Africa, many others have joined
- 28:43and they want to trade without the dollar.
- 28:46Right now they're conducting already 67% of their intra block
- 28:50trade using local currencies like the Wan, the rupee and the
- 28:54ruble. You know, of course.
- 28:56And I think this is a big, this is really a big shift.
- 28:58It's a seismic shift. They've always depended on the
- 29:01US dollar and now it looks like no go.
- 29:05They want to be at X Swift and they don't want any of the US to
- 29:07have the ability to use sanctions.
- 29:09Now, the big good news is when we come back from the break,
- 29:12we're going to be talking about XRP.
- 29:14They are at the center of the storm.
- 29:16And here's another reason XRP might just blow up.
- 29:20So the Global Finance Forum, we're going to take a short
- 29:23break. We'll be back with your host,
- 29:25George Valentin and myself, Lance Miliaccio.
- 29:28If you're an XRP, if you're if you're whole Hodel, you're going
- 29:32to want to hear this. This is big news.
- 29:33And they are actually very focused on this one.
- 29:36I understand. And Brad Garlinghouse has been
- 29:39talking to them about implementing all this.
- 29:42There we go. Don't go anywhere.
- 29:43Big news, baby. Stay tuned.

- 34:54don't want you to miss out on anything going on.
- 34:56Now back to the Bricks assault on the US dollar.
- 35:00And where does XRP fit in? Well, they're at the center of
- 35:03the storm. We got unconformed reports here
- 35:06that this is backed by growing inside chatter now.
- 35:10And you know, me and Lance, we do our homework and they're
- 35:12suggesting that bricks may soon unveil a gold backed financial
- 35:17settlement system. That's right, a gold backed
- 35:20financial settlement system with ripples, XRP Ledger serving as a
- 35:24cross-border backbone. Now, why is this a good thing
- 35:28and why is this matter? And why could this help be in a
- 35:32forefront? Because speed, baby.
- 35:36And why XRP is the important? That's what I'm saying because
- 35:38XRP and I'm saying speed because they they speed it settles in
- 35:42three to five seconds and it's scalable to 1500 transactions
- 35:47per second, meaning it neutrality not tied to any
- 35:51single nation state, which is good.
- 35:54The goal would bypass the SWIFT system entirely.
- 35:58And God, please make that happen because let's get rid of the old
- 36:02Swiss system. Out with the old, in with the
- 36:04nude. We're we're new innovations.
- 36:06We got to move forward with this.
- 36:08We can't be stuck with, I always say like the Rotary phones, you
- 36:10know, that help us. So gold and silver stockpiles
- 36:15are soaring. Lance was talking about that
- 36:17early about other countries. So in preparation for this
- 36:19monetary overhaul, bricks central banks are rapidly
- 36:23accumulating gold and silver reserves.
- 36:25Is our own U.S. government? No, we don't even know if we
- 36:27have gold anymore in Fort Knox. Be honest with you guys.
- 36:30We can't even get an audit. Our best chance of ever getting
- 36:33a real audit of it was Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and they
- 36:36even got put down. Yeah, it doesn't look like
- 36:40that's going anywhere. It's crickets.
- 36:41It's crickets. It's.
- 36:42Got to tell you something, man, but not good.
- 36:45I think I'm going to say this. I think after, if they do get
- 36:48this bill passed, a big beautiful bill, everybody starts
- 36:52putting pressure, start putting post up, tagging Trump, yeah,
- 36:55Elon Musk and say where's the order of Fort Knox?
- 36:58Our gold. Yeah, and let me say something.
- 37:00Feel free to take our show from yesterday and, you know, grab
- 37:03the link for the show and dump it into Donald Trump's feed and,
- 37:07you know, make a comment on one of his posts.
- 37:09Do the same with Elon Musk. Do the same with Dan Cuscovino,
- 37:12you know, do it with every one of the congressional members.
- 37:15Tell them you want an audit, you're tired of it, you want to
- 37:17know what's there and you want it on video and you want outside
- 37:19auditing companies to be involved.
- 37:21Because that tungsten thing that George told you about, we
- 37:23covered that. A lot of whistleblowers say that
- 37:25they took tungsten, which is a much cheaper metal and they gold
- 37:29plated it. And you can't tell because it's
- 37:30the same measurement of a bar in tungsten would be the same
- 37:34weight as a gold bar. So it's a very dense metal.
- 37:37So I think, what's I? Was going to say the only like
- 37:40the thing that bothers me, and I'm going to say negative, is
- 37:43that China and Russia are leading the way and are
- 37:45acquiring so much gold, like tons of it, hundreds of tons and
- 37:51you and this. I'd like that buying our budget.
- 37:52I'd like us to be acquiring tons of gold also.
- 37:55But you know, are we? No, you know, so here's the
- 37:59thing. This isn't just about so to me,
- 38:01like, look, you always ask, why does all this matter?
- 38:03Lance George, why do you think this matters?
- 38:06And I think it's just it's it's, you know, I think it's all about
- 38:08establishing what they've got in mind here is a new global
- 38:12settlement mechanism, which is concerning.
- 38:14And that's what they're doing is they're emerging precious metals
- 38:17with blockchain, which you've heard us see on the show that we
- 38:19really believe that's the future.
- 38:21Solem dot global. It's a company that believes in
- 38:24that they, they have a stable coin that's gold.
- 38:26They're using blockchain technology and AI technology in
- 38:29the healthcare industry and go check them out.
- 38:31Solem dot global. But I think if bricks is
- 38:33successful, George, you got to look at this challenge to the,
- 38:36you know, this is a real, you know, in my opinion, legitimate
- 38:39challenge. The dollar's dominance in global
- 38:42reserves. I think it could very well
- 38:44undermine Western sanction powers because again, they
- 38:47wouldn't have the ability to do that since everybody would be de
- 38:49dollarized. And there are a lot of countries
- 38:52that are still on the sideline. But I think, you know, Post
- 38:57dollar Financial Alliance is appealing to them.
- 39:01So I think this is kind of a monetary insurgency that we're
- 39:04seeing here. No surprise.
- 39:06XRP, you know, we're big supporters of XRP.
- 39:09We believe in it now that they're out of the courtroom and
- 39:13they have made a lot of deals that have never been announced.
- 39:16So this is a central bank, you know, war room.
- 39:19In my opinion, XRP is a perfect solution.
- 39:22And I don't think gold is just a hedge.
- 39:24I think it's leverage. And when you think about it,
- 39:27it's leverage in a game of global finance, in my opinion.
- 39:31So we'll see. I think that I think the
- 39:33potential for the dollar to be declining in relevance in
- 39:35international trade. Would Russia and China really
- 39:38want this? Of course, George, they would.
- 39:41And I think the bond that, you know, we've already seen Moody's
- 39:44downgrade the US bonds from AAA to AA one, which isn't that much
- 39:50of A move. But how about if Moody's does it
- 39:52a couple more times, then what? So we're going to have to see
- 39:56where this goes. We will.
- 39:59We'll keep listen, we'll keep doing the research, the homework
- 40:02for you guys, and we'll keep bringing you the information.
- 40:05But it could be a good thing, could be a bad thing.
- 40:09We'll see. I just don't like China and
- 40:11Russia being a forefront of it, especially China's CCP.
- 40:15But stay tuned, we'll keep you guys posted.
- 40:18Anyway, let's talk about silver Surge.
- 40:21Is it incoming? Yeah, baby.
- 40:23I don't know. The first Majestic CEO calls for
- 40:26$100 silver, $100.00 an ounce silver.
- 40:30Our portfolios are going to be looking good.
- 40:32Lance, if that happens, I got to tell you, are we going to be
- 40:36waking to sleeping giant? I don't know.
- 40:38Silver may be the most undervalued asset on earth.
- 40:42This is what's coming through. This is what they're saying.
- 40:44What if I told you Silver's real breakout hasn't even started
- 40:47yet? According to one of the biggest
- 40:49players in industry? He's saying $100 Silver isn't a
- 40:53fantasy. It's coming.
- 40:54I mean, this could be big. We got Keith Newmeyer, CEO of
- 40:58First Majestic Civil Corp, and he's actually doubling down on
- 41:01this bold prediction he's held. He's holding this for years.
- 41:03I'm going to put up the chart. Lance, hold on.
- 41:06If people could see it. So, I mean, I don't know Silver,
- 41:12there's a. Lot of support where we're at
- 41:15right now, which means it should go to new highs.
- 41:19We've said it over and over again on this show.
- 41:21I believe a supply crunch is incoming gold.
- 41:25You know, I think the global silver production is really
- 41:27flatlining. We haven't seen new discoveries.
- 41:30A bunch of the major mines are underperforming or they're
- 41:33closing down because they just don't think there's any.
- 41:35It's not financially sound to continue to pull it out of the
- 41:39ground. The above ground stockpiles are
- 41:43at really at their lowest in decades.
- 41:46I think this is in my opinion personally, this is an
- 41:49industrial super cycle. So we're seeing the use in
- 41:52critical, it's in electric vehicles.
- 41:54We already talked about the Samsung technology, solar panel
- 41:57demand is way up 5G infrastructure, silver demand is
- 42:01way up semiconductors and of course military grade tech
- 42:06always needs a lot of silver. And I think with green energy
- 42:08mandates in other countries, we're going to continue to see
- 42:11this accelerated demand in the industry level.
- 42:14And I think government demand, you know, we've talked about
- 42:16this, BRICS is stockpiling not only gold, also silver.
- 42:20So it's becoming part of strategic reserves in other
- 42:22countries. You know, it's not only the US,
- 42:24they've actually increased the reserve and silver, but also
- 42:26China and EU. So these strategic mineral
- 42:30reserve policies are talking about do working together, the
- 42:32three of them. So I don't know.
- 42:34We'll see what happens. I don't know, but you know
- 42:37there's a catch to it. Lance.
- 42:38I'm going to keep you guys. Unlike gold, silver gets
- 42:40consumed, right? It's not just sitting in vaults,
- 42:42it's in your like Lance said, in your, in our solar panels,
- 42:45iPhones, EV batteries. And man, if Samsung comes
- 42:49through with those batteries, it's going to be a whole
- 42:51different ball games, $100.00 an ounce.
- 42:53I think it's going to go more than that.
- 42:55But once it's used, it's gone. And you know, if you have to ask
- 43:01like why can't silver? Why can't you recycle it?
- 43:06Well, they do. Recycle a lot of it, but the
- 43:08problem is the recycle isn't 100% effective, meaning you
- 43:12don't recover 100% of the product from say cell phones.
- 43:16They get some of it back, but they don't get all of it back.
- 43:19And there's also a develop well emerging nations.
- 43:22You have to look now, George, cause cell phones safer in
- 43:24India. They don't have the same
- 43:26systems. The US may have efficient
- 43:28systems for recovering silver out of cell phones.
- 43:31But if you've seen, I've seen it, they actually do some stuff
- 43:35in Indiana's example where they smash the cell phones up kind of
- 43:38like with big pestles and mortars, and they run it through
- 43:40some chemicals. There's no way they're
- 43:42recovering 100% of the silver. So some of it just ends up in
- 43:45landfills. So, you know, I think, I think
- 43:48this, I think this metal, I think it's an industrial
- 43:51powerhouse. It always has been, you know,
- 43:54and I think the world's finally catching on.
- 43:56And my question is, you know, what are we going to see if if,
- 44:00if $100 silver sounds extreme, what happens if Wall Street
- 44:03charged to jump and if they start to really analyze that
- 44:06this shortage is coming? So I think if industrial demand
- 44:10even spikes as little as 10% and we don't see any new mines
- 44:15getting discovered, I think a parabolic pattern is imminent.
- 44:20So, you know, this is it's obvious.
- 44:22And I think the top producing nations like Mexico, Peru,
- 44:25China, I think there could be a massive supply shock inbound.
- 44:29I don't know, Lance, I think your dog begs to differ because
- 44:31I hear him whining in the background and he's talking
- 44:33about land. Daddy, what are you talking?
- 44:35About we do have some noisy dogs in the background.
- 44:37I heard that also. Look, there he goes.
- 44:40He's like, what are you talking about, Lance?
- 44:41That's the puppy. What do you mean silver can't be
- 44:43fully? That's the puppy.
- 44:46I don't know, maybe the puppy knows something we don't.
- 44:48Yeah, he's whining because he's afraid that he won't get enough
- 44:50silver before the prices jump. I know.
- 44:52But if you look at like in a world where in a world addicted
- 44:55to paper money and digital speculation, silver's, it is
- 44:59still physical proof of value. It's like gold is physical proof
- 45:02of value. It's tradable, tangible, and now
- 45:06strategic. This isn't just market story,
- 45:09it's a national security story. And United States needs to start
- 45:14seriously thinking about stockpiling more gold and
- 45:19silver. But where we could see it and
- 45:22check up on it, I think because. Well, let's switch gears here,
- 45:26man. I think we talked about bullion
- 45:27enough right now. Let's talk about the SWIFT
- 45:31system. You seemed a little skeptical
- 45:32earlier, but maybe you were just playing that card, not realizing
- 45:36that we were going to go deep into SWIFT.
- 45:38A lot of nations are fleeing the SWIFT system.
- 45:41I want them to. Among Yeah, I do too.
- 45:45But when you talk about people like the Rockefellers and
- 45:49there's some other names that that are in control of the whole
- 45:52central bank system and and all that, that's a lot of power they
- 45:55have. And it's they're not going to go
- 45:57away quietly. So, I mean, tell me more.
- 45:59OK, Lance, you tell me. I want.
- 46:01Listen, here's what it is and, and, and for people out there,
- 46:03you know, people are talking about all these kinetic events
- 46:05going on, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine.
- 46:09Well, I can tell you that's not where the battlefield's at.
- 46:12It's not just Taiwan. It's not the incoming, you know,
- 46:16Northern Africa issues we're having.
- 46:19I think the real war is playing out in global finance.
- 46:22Nations are pulling the plug on SWIFT finally, and that's before
- 46:27they get cut off themselves. They're not taking any chances.
- 46:30And as we see these geopolitical tensions escalate all across
- 46:34Europe and China and the Middle East, they are worried about
- 46:37Western controlled financial infrastructure.
- 46:40And I think at the very top of their list is that they want to
- 46:43escape the US dominated SWIFT network and that is the backbone
- 46:47of international banking for over 50 years.
- 46:50So I can tell you, I think we might have backfired on us using
- 46:54the dollar as a weapon. I think the trust evaporates
- 46:57when you do that. And right now that trust is
- 47:00gone. They've seen them effectively
- 47:02using sanctions all over the Middle East as an example.
- 47:05And I think what we're witnessing is a global exit
- 47:07strategy from the old system. And I also believe
- 47:10cryptocurrency is embarking this.
- 47:11Nobody wants the SWIFT system. Everybody wants decentralized
- 47:15finance and they and they want to make sure it's blockchain,
- 47:18it's faster, it's safer, the fees are lower and enough about
- 47:22control. Yeah.
- 47:25And but if you look at like let's say China's and they say I
- 47:27think it's sifts, it stands for cross-border Interbank payment
- 47:31system. And this is what's replacing
- 47:33Swift guy, so you know. Yeah.
- 47:35Do we want Beijing replacing Swift?
- 47:38They're fully they're already doing it.
- 47:40They already kicked out the Federal Reserve.
- 47:41The Federal Reserve doesn't exist in China.
- 47:43I know they're fully, they're operational now.
- 47:45I know and they're growing. They're growing at a good, good
- 47:47pace. And their their brick and Rd.
- 47:50initiative has really brought that system into parts of Africa
- 47:53and otherwise. I think they're like what, over
- 47:55100 countries or so, Something like that.
- 47:57Yeah, I think that's right. I think you're right about that.
- 48:00And and this is how they bypass US jurisdiction, but you know
- 48:03when use with the yen I mean. Yeah, the Wan is definitely
- 48:08that. That brick and Rd. initiative
- 48:10was all about the Wan. I mean, and you have to think
- 48:13like what, what's our, what's our government doing?
- 48:15Like, how are you allowing the CCP to just get and gain more
- 48:18control, more wealth? And they just, they just simply
- 48:23want to destroy anybody that doesn't think like them, act
- 48:26like them and be like them. That's their that's their end
- 48:29game goal. But like, you know, crypto is
- 48:32definitely the reason why, you know, all these other countries
- 48:36want to get away from the Swiss system.
- 48:37Nobody wants control. But I, you know, I'm going to
- 48:41say like with the CCP with their initiative here, if you, if
- 48:45people are going to that versus Swiss system, they're just going
- 48:48from one big control system to another big control system.
- 48:51It's not the way to do it though, in my in my opinion.
- 48:54Well, my opinion is central bank digital currencies are the
- 48:57answer, I really do. And I think nations that are
- 49:02developing all sorts of digital versions of their currencies, we
- 49:05know like the digital dollars company that's going to that's
- 49:08going to help bypass all these traditional banking rails, just
- 49:11like the SWIFT system. And you know, China's digital
- 49:15wand, they're already in full swing on global trials.
- 49:18And you're looking at Russia and India right behind them and
- 49:21Brazil. And they think they're going to
- 49:23have their pilot programs in place towards the end of 2025,
- 49:27early 26. So those are a whole different
- 49:30system, right? Programmable.
- 49:31They're traceable, they're outside Western control, and
- 49:33they're outside the Swift system.
- 49:35Well, you know, I remember having talks with John Kirk
- 49:40this, you know, he's part of Solon Global and he's always
- 49:43said this and like it's inevitable that we will be going
- 49:45to the digital dollar. But the key thing is if the good
- 49:48guys can get control of it first and be the forefront this way
- 49:52before the bad actors. That's the main, that's the one
- 49:56of the main things. And if you have like CCP being
- 49:58in front of it, that's not good to be you.
- 50:00Think about it like if we got rid of our paper money and
- 50:03actually went to digital money. Just think about no more getting
- 50:06paid cash under the table. What does that say about how
- 50:09much more taxes the government can collect?
- 50:13But This is why where crypto comes into play, where I think
- 50:15where you know, if it's decent one decentralized platform with
- 50:18the blockchain, we can avoid a lot of the BS.
- 50:21But I mean. I think in the future, I'm going
- 50:24to go out on a limb here. I can tell you in the future,
- 50:26it's going to be very difficult for these governments to collect
- 50:30taxes. It's going to get more and more
- 50:32difficult because people are going to use decentralized
- 50:35finance to not pay taxes. They're going to figure ways
- 50:38around it. And as it becomes more widely
- 50:42accepted, I think it's going to happen.
- 50:44But what, you know what, what I really think the catalyst for
- 50:46all is this weaponized finance, right?
- 50:48All these Western sanctions that were on Iran, Russia, Venezuela,
- 50:52that's what really triggered them going into this Moss.
- 50:55And they froze hundreds of billions in assets.
- 50:58I mean, at the end of the day, it was effective, but it also
- 51:02made those countries think, OK, when are we going to stop this
- 51:04bullshit? We got to come up with a system
- 51:06where they can't do this to us. Because of course, I think the
- 51:09message is clear here. If you're not politically
- 51:11aligned, your access to money can vanish overnight.
- 51:14And the US has used that as a bludgeon.
- 51:17So a lot of these neutral countries are even thinking that
- 51:20have never had a sanction. And they're saying, OK, I'm
- 51:23going to de risk myself. I'm going to detach myself from
- 51:26the Swiss system and US influence.
- 51:28And that's why, you know, for this, George, I don't think it's
- 51:31just bricks. Nope, It's the emergence of a
- 51:33parallel economy that's powered by blockchain, gold, CBD, CS and
- 51:39real assets. So I mean, like we're saying the
- 51:41era of a western financial dominance, it's under siege,
- 51:45it's under attack. And you know, when you when you
- 51:48like you just said, and you put pause, you know, politics in
- 51:50front of it and which isn't good, but I'm all four of
- 51:54countries are doing nefarious, yes, put, you know, figure out a
- 51:57way to sanction and put them. You know, there's got to be a
- 51:59way to control them without, without, let's say, military
- 52:05people being killed or bombing or anything like that, that I
- 52:07mean. Well, I think we've got to
- 52:09prepare for the consequences, don't you think?
- 52:11I mean, at the end of the day, this is going to have an impact
- 52:13on the dollar. I think what this hard to push
- 52:15it is, I think the dollar demand is definitely going to, you
- 52:18know, lower as they settle in local currencies or whatever
- 52:22these digital dollars end up being that are the most powerful
- 52:25going to be a lot of loss of leverage.
- 52:27At the end of the day, the US is going to have to look at it in a
- 52:29different way. They're not going to have the
- 52:30ability to, you know, using sanctions and look at the
- 52:33capital inflow effect. From my opinion, those capital
- 52:37inflows are, you know, are going to go neutral.
- 52:39They're going to go to all the Eastern aligned banking systems.
- 52:42And I think this, I think that there's going to be pressure on
- 52:45the institutions that have always kind of controlled the
- 52:47markets behind scene, like the World Bank, the BIS, the IMF,
- 52:51and they're either going to have to adapt or get freaking
- 52:55replaced. And I think replaced is going to
- 52:57be what's happened. Because my personal opinion is
- 53:00one of the problems here in the United States is the Federal
- 53:02Reserve. They're pushing back at the
- 53:04adoption because they want to control the adoption.
- 53:06I've always said it all along that I thought the Federal
- 53:08Reserve should be nationalized. They don't want the digital
- 53:11dollar unless they're in control of it.
- 53:14And I think those institutions or those families are a done
- 53:17deal. I think this is over with.
- 53:18They don't even know it yet. Well, I mean, look, we have over
- 53:21130 countries now exploring CBDC's.
- 53:25When I say that, just bear in mind that it's central bank
- 53:28digital currencies. For people that may have missed
- 53:30it, 67% of bricks trade are done without U.S. dollars.
- 53:37And then the CCP's transaction volume has grown 400% since
- 53:412021. And they're all their gold
- 53:44reserves among BRICS nations has surged into record ties, while
- 53:49we're just. So it's not a Fiat currency is
- 53:52the key to it. No.
- 53:53So they're, they're all the playbooks changing.
- 53:55And in the next 5 years, we may not be talking about reserve
- 53:58currencies, we'll be talking about reserve systems.
- 54:01And the dollar may only be one of many players on the stage.
- 54:06I mean, this is definitely something that you as a people
- 54:11need to be on top of it. Our country needs to be on top
- 54:14of it. And we got to be on the front
- 54:16row seat, right? Absolutely.
