Professor Peter St. Onge discusses the implications of recent economic events on the dollar and Bitcoin.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 060: Senior Economist on Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, AI, Oil, and the Dollar Crisis Nobody Is Talking About | Prof Peter St Onge The dollar took its biggest hit in 50 years — and most people have no idea it happened.
