Who’s Got the Gold?
by Jeff Thomas, International Man:
In 1971, the US abruptly went off the gold standard, and in making the public announcement, US President Richard Nixon looked into the television camera and said, “We’re all Keynesians now.”
I was a young man at the time and had previously bought gold, albeit on a very small scale, but I recall looking into the face of this delusional man and thinking, “This is not good.”
However, the world at large apparently agreed with Mister Nixon, and within a few years, the other countries also went off the gold standard, which meant that, from that point on, no currency was backed by anything other than a promise.

Crypto for Me, Prison for Thee: When Elites Embrace Blockchain but Jail the Builders
by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:
In a world where financial titans and political elites are increasingly embracing blockchain technology, the stark contrast in treatment between these institutional players and the pioneers who laid the groundwork for cryptocurrency’s rise has never been more glaring. The simultaneous mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin ETFs and the legal persecution of early crypto advocate Roger Ver and others epitomize this dichotomy.

Bitcoin Slows, Gold Glows: What’s Driving the Shift in 2025?
from BullionStar:
The first weeks of President Donald Trump’s second administration have produced a remarkable divergence in the performance of two assets often compared by investors seeking alternatives to traditional fiat currencies. While gold has continued its steady ascent to new all-time highs, Bitcoin has experienced a significant correction from its January peak, challenging the narrative that cryptocurrencies would consistently outperform precious metals in times of economic uncertainty.
Precious Metals Shine Amid Market Turmoil
by Peter Schiff, Schiff Gold:
In the wake of President Trump’s recent tariff policies, the American financial landscape has been thrown into turmoil. Investors and consumers alike are feeling the pinch as the stock market reels and recession fears loom. However, amidst this economic uncertainty, one asset class has emerged as a beacon of stability: precious metals, particularly gold.
Last week, American investors fell victim to a significant drop in the stock market. The Dow Jones, a traditionally highly secure investment, fell by nearly 7% in the past month. Tesla was a part of this trend, dropping a dramatic 31% in the past month. Likewise, NVIDIA and Delta shares have fallen 17% and 30% respectively. This drop, which some predict is the beginning of a recession, has occurred directly after Trump’s tariffs have gone into effect.
