As a "CryptoBro" he's really missed the mark on what he thinks people who buy Bitcoin. We buy it so one day - we won't NEED to sell it for dirty Fiat. It makes sense to sell it in order to buy at a lower price in order to accumulate.

Also missed out one crucial matter in Japan. For the very first time in decades Japan just gained 3.6% inflation which means for the first times companies have increased prices a.d wages which means crawling out of Stagflation. The debt trap would depend on how BOJ stimulate the economy including overall foreign and defense policies

[@aaronsterlind6334]

I work in a Factory, as does my two younger brothers and my younger sister's husband, we all work in the same factory. My point is, or should be clear, people who work in factories aren't exactly considered wealthy. Since we're not "wealthy" I think we make a pretty good example in that we purchase gold and silver bullion on a bi weekly basis, or every payday. 1 gram bars or gold and or silver maple leafs. Last payday was 5 X 1gram bars of gold, shipped through the Canadian Post Office because I prefer the Federal Government taking responsibility for our shipments rather than some guy in a truck. Of course they are shipped in plain boxes with different companies listed on the shipping receipt, such as "Jerry's Stone Cutting Corp", that's not it by the way but close enough so you get the point. At the end of April I cashed out all the above family members pensions, RRSPs, etc and we purchased bullion, a lot of bullion. In conclusion, yes you can, purchase bullion, no matter who you are, I also hit the local pawn shop in my small town. What has happened to our collective wealth in the last nine months? Nothing, nothing has happened to our collective wealth this last year, meanwhile, plenty of people we work with lost a lot on those pension/RRSPs through our collective provider. Worse yet for those hit with the crypto/bitcoin bug, but our wealth is still sitting here collecting dust, which is perfect. Keep in mind, if gold is revalued or the currencies collapse, my answer is "what gold"?, "what capital gains"? Good luck folks.

[@RezFaraji]

I like Alasdair and his analysis. I also like and hold gold, but I disagree with his comment that everyone that buys BTC is just hoping to sell it for more fiat. EXACTLY as most people that buy gold care about its fiat price (just watch the news or even this channel), most people that buy BTC do so for fiat. But a lot of people also buy it to hold for when/if things get crazy

[@mrjones7862]

[@GreyKing69]

@@DBEdwards You do realize when you get down to it, the only value of gold is its use in computers, we only assign as much value to it because we use it as a medium for work, just like any other currency. Gold can become just as useless if enough people decide they no longer want to use it as a medium for work. Hard assets that can be used, food, oil, lithium and other such things will invariably become the bedrock of currency, as what the BRICS nations are doing, they are trying to get rid of the fiat currency.

I agree with the financial analysis of Alasdair completely but I am afraid he is not in sync with the realities of the Ukraine war. Western military analysts like Scott Ritter and Col.

It is a matter of time when the West will eventually give up in Ukraine.

Excellent, although with my experience in the special forces and maritime security one thing is certain here. On the topic of Ukraine, Russia didn't seek a blitzkrieg but a wear and tear war to weaken resources and dry out NATO so that the East can take it's part elsewhere. Russia has a slow start but it's a long game that Putin is playing on that front. Yes, economically it will be a problem but the commodity boom in the next while will favour Russia and its allies.

No, The ability to confiscate BTC (Regardless of History) if on cold storage is incorrect. They cannot obtain it without the private keys. They can intercept transactions on exchanges and prevent a transaction but they cannot confiscate it unless they have the private key.

I think what he's saying is they could imprison you for having coin that is the proceeds of crime etc

and also if “they” regulate it into oblivion as seems likely, your “cold storage” bitcoin with your “private key” is still absolutely worthless. But they can regulate my hard coin gold all day long and if I hide it or bury it well enough, and they are not able to confiscate, it will still always have REAL monetary value even if “they” were to “outlaw” gold in the same way that “they” are going to try to “outlaw” and-or centralize the very very good aspects of bitcoin and decentralized digital currency. And that, my dear good sire, is why I have never yet invested in bitcoin or any other supposed decentralized digital coin. And certainly, such is my own loss for such decision, in theory.

Excellent discussion and I’ve learned more than I knew and all the concepts I’ve never thought of. I love the analogy in the end. We’ve never been taught this in school or college in my day. My mind has been expanded by this discussion! Thanks both of you for the great questions and the great answers!

[@johnburton9772]

35:37 “Gold is something you own when you want to ??? get out of the ??? risk or fear of a fiat currency.” I think that’s what Alasdair said.

[@elizabethmurray5718]

Has he mentioned CBDC'S? A gold-backed digital dollar? A blockchain or ledger type system? Financial people are Fed oriented and look to that system to solve our problems, when a lot of bank custmers think differently on that.

[@tellmemoreplease9231]

I agree. A crypto currency (blockchain, to limit the amount) would crash their gravy train. I mean nothing can stop them from printing as much debt money as they wish now. I could see them use it only for international settlements. Trade settlements between nations? It creates its own problems. Miners would crank it up and use a significant amount of energy. Hashing the massive blockchain would become cumbersome. Wouldn't it?

[@kerrywills8715]

Totally agree

[@k0zzu21]

That would be just the same system we have now. There's no way to verify the backing when the keys to the vault are with the same person holding the buttons of the printing press.

[@cheaptick]

Want to hear how he thinks the CBDC system will be different with fraud and criminality than he predicts with bitcoin

[@serjmusiccrosstown91]

Great show thnks 👏✌️

[@serjmusiccrosstown91]

Right now it feels a dubious pump in crypto and Bitcoin as theres so much fractional exchange news about . Eg ftx and now gbtc Gemini .. is the pump looking for bag holders !? But Bitcoin is the only revolutionary technology in the space it seems .. 👏✌️

*Amazing content, You remain the best!! It's been a year since I found ways to improve my finances and by working with a renowned professional, I was able to attain financial independence. I have to say this ; “As long as you are determined and work hard, you can achieve whatever you place your mind on.”*

[@evelynscarlett1]

In the past , I tried tons of ideas both smart and foolish. My smartest idea was employing the services of a renowned professional *Donald Nathan Scott* (who resides in USA). I will talk about him all day because I was able to invest , plan my finances and secured financial independence through his services.

[@evelynscarlett1]

*DONALD NATHAN SCOTT* is my professionaI, I looked up his name on the internet. Luckily , I found his contact info and reached out to him.

[@EvelynMoore629]

it is such a surprise to read a about Donald Nathan Scott’s here. I met Mr. Donald early this year and in just 8 months of working with him, I was able to build my finances. I will say give Mr. Donald a try today and walk towards success.

The amount of inflation we have accumulated over the last 50 years generally speaking is about 10 times the cost of many things the price they were back in 1974,some things are less than 10 times as much,some more.Inflation is like time, day to day is not much different,in 50 years you wonder what happened? 😅😊😮

[@anth5122]

Always a pleasure to listen to Alasdair 👍

[@ewetho]

Excellent interview

[@kentriat2426]

Thank you for some real thought provoking words and possible directions in the financial world. I feel your projections for the US dollar are spot on as this country continues to lift its debt ceiling instead of taking physical actions to control spending. The world around the US is starting to question this continued shedding the US debt onto the world

[@TheMuhlez]

Great interview!

[@Aries61]

Sage advice from Alasdair! Thanks Adam for a great guest. ✌️

[@xelzbrod...3533]

Best interview ever, thank you.

[@Mdrolet77]

I don't even know how this is an issue for storing your wealth. Your wealth shouldn't be in cash anyways. If it's in real estate or stocks or anything else really the value of the currency means nothing. It means something for day to day transactions which there's no way you'll carry out in gold or silver anyways.

[@stevee8318]

Day to day transactions were made in gold and silver until silver was removed from US coins in 1965. Does it seem so farfetched that you might pay for lunch with a silver coin rather than a fiat $20 bill?

[@douglasmarsh9482]

Very Good interview

[@miguelp]

The value of the USD in gold terms has gone down by an average of 4%, annualized since 1950. So if you held dollars paying 4% interest you would have exactly the same gold equivalent, assuming you had no cost of holding gold. 4% is about the average return for treasury bonds, and half the return of the SP500 in any multi decade period, but with much less timing risk since gold tends to swing wildly off the mean for long periods of time.

[@larsh2923]

But you're describing the past and there will be no more Western bull market, especially not SP500. Small time investors cannot easily access Chinese or Asian markets. Just recently all investing on the Moscow exchange got frozen for ever.

[@mrst445]

Your so right, imho I can see this too. If gold becomes the asset backed new treasury note (and it looks like it will because the Fed in now dead having been placed in the treasury by Trump). Then there will not be more swings in gold prices. Just the doom and gloom portrayed in these podcasts. 4% isn't bad.

[@lachlanflawse1474]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....Tax paid? Run a DCF Also....the next 20 years will NOT look like the past 50 to 70 years.....You assume USD dominance no matter what the foreign debts and deepening military weakness.

[@josephdewuhan]

Gold and silver prices have been manipulated so badly since $ is decoupled from Gold.

[@BuddyCalyxed]

Achem...Golds valued by the dollar.

[@edj5532]

No one really knows what will happen. I learn from my grandfather and late father, get out of debt ASAP, no credit card debt, live way below ones means, no flashy cars, Have some gold, Have some silver, buy products that you use a lot, i.e., toilet paper, dishwashing soap, cooking oil, beans, dried goods, have your own small vegetable garden and refine ones diet. IMO

[@charlottem.5134]

Creating multiple sources of income is highly rewarding. It helps in planning adequately for the future. Notwithstanding; it's quite a herculean task for one to go into trading or investment without a sound knowledge or guidance from a highly skilled expert. what's your take?

[@markbailey1718]

Trading with an expert has been the best way of making huge returns from crypto currency.

[@markbailey1718]

The common mistake we newbies make is without help and legit guidance from a professional.

Job will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investments make and keep you wealthy, the future is inevitable.
