Schiff vs. Ammous: Tokenized Gold Trumps Bitcoin

Peter recently debated longtime Bitcoin proponent Saifedean Ammous to turn the usual Bitcoin-vs.-gold argument on its head. Rather than rehashing the old debate, he focuses on tokenized gold—specifically Tether Gold— and explains why a claim on real metal is a far better monetary proposition than a claim on nothing. He argues tokenized gold brings convenience […]

This Isn’t De-Dollarization. It’s De-Fiatization

The dollar is in free fall as gold and silver continue climbing to new records.

Welfare Must Be Cut for the Good of the Poor

The US government is frequently criticized for not reaching the EU’s levels of unhindered handouts and socialization of industries. Proponents of government control for the common good hold two contradictory principles at the same time without even recognizing the tension. They first believe that the highest role of any government is to promote the welfare […]

Schiff w/ Millman: Gold Will Replace the Dollar

Last week, Peter joined Everett Millman on the Verified Macro Report to lay out a clear, uncompromising case against the last several decades of monetary policy and to explain why he sees gold and silver—not fiat or most cryptocurrencies—as the natural refuge for investors. He ties the Fed’s policy errors to rising long-term rates, a […]

Schiff on CapitalCosm: Silver Shortages Ahead
