“Everywhere we look, the economic warning lights are flashing red. From civil unrest and a looming €1 trillion bailout crisis in Europe, to Japan preparing to dump $1.4 trillion in U.S. Treasury holdings, the era of central bank intervention is losing control. Even U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently admitted, "The house doesn't win every hand."
”Meanwhile, Wall Street is sitting on a $1.5 trillion margin lending timebomb, and everyday investors are waking up to a startling reality: the 60-year "boom" in real estate is a fiat currency illusion. When measured in real money—physical gold—the average home price has actually plunged by 82% since 1963.
”Alasdair Macleod breaks down what happens when these credit bubbles implode, why the global press is warning of the biggest financial bloodbath in decades, and how physical gold acts as the ultimate lifeboat when paper promises fail.”

Interview with As Good As Gold Australia

I listened to it twice. France requires a trillion euro bailout from the ECB. It doesn’t matter whether it gets it or not, but probably not. The first domino will tip over. Then Italy will follow. Japan wants to liquidate over a trillion dollars of U.S. debt. The nations with gold will survive: China, Russia, and their trading partners. It is a dangerous time.
