Interview with Reinvent Money
Paul Buitink and I discuss the developing situation, and why led by the US dollar G7 currencies face a surprisingly swift collapse. It was recorded last Thursday.
“Paul Buitink talks to Alasdair McLeod again, who is a former banker and gold expert. They take you deep into the mechanics behind the positive Deutsche Bank report on gold, explaining how central banks’ gold holdings, geopolitical tensions, and macroeconomic distortions are setting the stage for a gold price explosion. We break down the risks of relying solely on traditional markets and explore how countries like Russia and Turkey are positioning their gold reserves amid global uncertainties. You’ll learn about the historical parallels from the 1970s, the impact of interest rate shifts, and why the current environment hints at something unprecedented: a potential move towards a gold-backed system or at least a significant shift away from fiat.
”You'll discover how central bank gold policies and geopolitical chaos influence the gold market. Why the correlation between interest rates and gold is shifting back to historical norms and the evolving role of gold in a potential future monetary system and the risks of ignoring this signal
”This episode emphasizes why understanding gold’s potential is critical in today’s volatile macro landscape. Ignoring these signals could mean missing the opportunity to protect your wealth — or worse, falling victim to the collapse of fiat currencies. If you’re a forward-thinking investor, a macro enthusiast, or someone worried about the future of money, this is essential listening.
”Whether you’re already stacking or just curious about what future monetary systems might look like, Alasdair's insights will challenge what you think you know about gold. Prepare for a paradigm shift that could reshape your view of safe havens and financial sovereignty.”

The great Alasdair's wife does not listen to him!🤣 Alasdair looks so sheepish when he disclosed that. It's ok Alasdair, the bible said a prophet is not respected in his own city.
Another great interview with the incomparable Alasdair Macleod. He corrects the mistaken views of his interviewers in such a gentlemanly fashion. There’s a correlation between governments’ destruction of our money and the destruction of our ability to provide the necessities of life that is hard to understand. Britain plans permanently to forbid exploiting its North Sea oil and Paul says that the Netherlands is doing something of the same with its natural gas fields. What is going on? Even the tyrants of the now thankfully extinct Soviet Union were not that stupid. They wanted development but thought that a command economy was the quickest path rather than free markets. Is there a death cult that has taken over Western governments?
