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 […]

In his latest conversation with David Lin, Peter lays out a stark vision of a changing monetary order where gold regains its central role and the dollar’s slowly overtaken by other currencies as the reserve asset. He ties the shift to central bank behavior, the Fed’s role as buyer of last resort, and the political […]
