Although most stablecoins are touted as the next step for currency and a needed player in financial innovation, they have several fundamental flaws that make them even less suitable than the American dollar. Stablecoins are electronic currencies tied to USD, and in most situations, stay within a few percent of the dollar’s value. While historically […]

On Tuesday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks listeners through the Fed’s origin story and how the institution’s structure and mission has warped the U.S. monetary system. In the context of Kevin Warsh’s confirmation hearing for Fed Chairman, he explains why the Fed was designed as a private banking syndicate, how its notes […]

In his Senate confirmation hearing on April 21st, Federal Reserve Chairman–designate Kevin Warsh pledged nothing short of a philosophical reset at the world’s most influential central bank. Backed by President Trump and politely flanked by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Warsh told lawmakers that full employment and stable prices remain “mission-critical,” yet achievable only if the Fed […]

With the latest 12 month CPI figure coming in at 3.3%, it’s clear that inflation is alive and well. What’s less clear to the public is the fact that inflation is a policy choice– an intentional political act meant to rob citizens of the benefits of falling prices.

In Peter’s most recent interview on the Thread Guy channel, he walks listeners through the logic of prepping in an era of war, misinformation, and market manipulation. He argues that official numbers and political spin are unreliable, that the president now moves markets in real time, and that these factors increase incentives to diversify out […]

On Thursday, Peter faced off against Mark Moss in a ZeroHedge debate to lay out a clear, market-focused case for gold and a skeptical case against Bitcoin. He argues that central banks are quietly shifting away from the dollar into gold because they no longer trust the ability of the U.S. government to repay debt […]

With inflation still running hot and disastrous jobs data coming in, it’s tempting for policymakers to spread myths about the economy, particularly around the origin and nature of money. As the Austrian school demonstrates, fiat money– and all money for that matter– does not derive its value from dictates of the government. The following article […]

With the dollar slipping and trade policy whiplash dominating the news cycle, it seems the American empire is under economic threat. It’s no wonder then that the Trump administration is so preoccupied with lowering interest rates; central banking, after all, is the key enabler of economic and military intervention, both at home and abroad. The […]

Last week, the Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and economically destructive tariffs. But, as the White House seeks to impose new trade restrictions through other avenues, it’s worth reexamining why trade policy and inflationary monetary policy typically go hand-in-hand. The following article was originally published by the Mises Institute. The opinions expressed […]

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 […]
