Gold just outperformed the dollar for the first time in 30 years, and honestly, that's a huge red flag. Central banks now hold more gold than U.S. debt—something we haven’t seen in decades. The message is pretty clear: countries don’t trust the dollar like they used to. They’re not chasing interest; they just want to protect their money.
Think about it. U.S. debt? It can get frozen. The government can print more, devaluing it overnight. Gold? You actually own it. No one can just take it or control it. That’s the whole point. Ever since sanctions started being used as a weapon, “reserves” stopped feeling safe. Hold a promise, and someone can block it. Hold gold, and it’s actually yours.
Here’s where things get scarier. U.S. debt is climbing by a trillion dollars every 100 days. Interest payments have shot past $1 trillion a year. The Fed just keeps printing more money. Everybody sees what’s happening.
So, what are countries doing? China, Russia, India, Poland, Singapore—they’re dumping paper and snapping up gold and silver. The BRICS group is pushing hard to move away from the dollar: no more SWIFT, local currencies, trading with stuff that actually has value.
If 40% of the world stops using the dollar, demand drops off a cliff. That whole “There Is No Alternative” idea? It’s not true anymore. Gold is the alternative now.
Is the dollar losing ground? Absolutely.
If gold at $5,000 and silver at $100 sounds impossible to you… you’re just not ready for what’s coming next.
