The Quiet Takeover of the World’s Collateral

For the first time in half a century, the world’s balance sheet is being rewritten not by growth, but by collateral. Across the East, led by China and India, nations are taking possession of real wealth, the kind that settles without permission. In the West, meanwhile, finance remains a paper empire: promises built on leverage, trust, and the hope that credit can still substitute for value. In this episode, we explore how this transformation...

The gold price touching over $4,000 this week tells us that the market is quietly asking: Has the world lost faith in America’s financial discipline?

In short, gold’s move isn’t emotional; it’s mechanical. It reflects a world diversifying...

$50 Silver? This Won’t End Well

For decades, $50 defined history from the Hunt Brothers in 1980 to the 2011 highs. But this time, it’s different. This isn’t speculation or euphoria it’s a structural revaluation of trust. In this video, Jan Skoyles explains why silver’s move isn’t about hype or momentum, but about monetary fracture, industrial demand, and structural scarcity and what it means for gold, markets, and investors. In this episode: Why #$50 silver marks a verdict,...

$4000 Gold – This Won’t End Well!

In this video: Why $4,000 #gold is a signal, not a victory lap Belief vs. backing: when #money becomes a...
