Gold, Silver, or Crypto?
Dear Reader,
Today, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most critical financial questions of our time: Gold, silver, or crypto—where should you put your money?
The Federal Reserve’s Game Plan: Endless money printing ensures inflation, making gold and silver crucial to wealth protection.
Crypto’s Mystery: While promising, crypto lacks the centuries-old track record of precious metals—and its origins raise serious questions.
Australia’s Debt Bubble: A dire economic experiment in the land down under mirrors America’s financial trajectory, but with lessons we can learn.
I recently sat down with John Adams, an economist from Good as Gold Australia, to dissect what he calls “QE Infinity.” If you think central banks have any intention of stopping their printing presses, think again. Here’s the harsh truth: the Federal Reserve is locked into a game they can’t quit. They print money. They inflate bubbles. And you’re left holding the bag.
But here’s the good news—if you know what to do, you can survive and even thrive.
Why Gold and Silver Still Win
Gold and silver have a 5,000-year track record as real money. They’re not just shiny objects; they’re your lifeline when fiat currencies collapse. When I was a kid in 1964, I watched the U.S. debase its coins. Gresham’s Law kicked in: bad money pushed good money out of circulation. That’s when I started hoarding real silver.
Fast-forward to today, and the story’s the same. Except now, it’s not just America. Australia, my second-favorite country, is drowning in debt bubbles—personal, real estate, and national. Sound familiar? It should. Australia is America’s economic twin, just smaller.
John’s perspective as an Aussie economist is eye-opening. He says, “There’s no turning back.” They can’t raise interest rates without blowing up their system. Sound familiar? It’s happening everywhere.
The Crypto Gamble
Now, let’s talk crypto. I trade it, but I don’t trust it. John had three solid reasons why he avoids it entirely:
No History: Gold’s track record is millennia. Crypto? Barely a decade. What happens in a real crisis? No one knows.
No Clarity: Most crypto investors can’t even explain the tech behind it. If you don’t understand the risks, how can you protect yourself?
Who’s Behind It? John pointed out that the NSA wrote a white paper on cryptocurrencies back in 1996. That raises a critical question: Is crypto really decentralized, or is it another Trojan horse?
Australia: The Canary in the Coal Mine
Australia’s economy thrives on exporting resources, particularly to China. But their housing market? A bubble waiting to burst. Their debt levels? Worse than America’s pre-2008 crisis.
Here’s the kicker: Australia’s government, like ours, keeps printing money to prop up the system. But as John warns, this only accelerates the onset of stagflation—a toxic mix of inflation and economic stagnation.
The Bottom Line: Protect Yourself
The Fed can’t stop printing. They can’t raise rates. And they can’t save you when the house of cards falls.
So, what do you do? Here’s my take:
Gold and Silver: God’s money. Proven. Reliable.
Crypto: A high-risk trade, not a hedge.
Real Assets: Land, energy, and other tangibles that governments can’t print.
Your financial security is in your hands. Don’t trust the Fed. Don’t trust Wall Street. Trust real money. And don’t wait—because in this era of QE Infinity, it’s not a question of if the system collapses. It’s when.
Stay smart,
