Why It Matters
Understanding the fragility of fiat currencies is crucial for anyone managing wealth or planning for long‑term financial security, as a systemic reset could reshape investment strategies. The episode is timely amid rising global debt levels and ongoing debates about inflation, making its insights relevant for both individual investors and policymakers.
Interview with Jasmine of Money Magpie
“Are we nearing the end of the fiat currency era?
”In this clip, Alasdair Macleod explains why today’s financial system may be approaching a breaking point — drawing parallels with the collapse of the Weimar Reichsmark and the explosive rise in gold that followed
”The core argument is stark:
”Fiat currencies rely on confidence and credit
”Governments are buried under unpayable debt
”When bubbles burst, central banks default to infinite QE
”And when that happens, currencies fall — while gold rises
”This isn’t about day-to-day volatility.
It’s about whether the entire monetary system is being reset.”
