Macroscopic Podcast

Two of the world's most respected gold experts — Peter Schiff and Jim Rickards — sit down in Amsterdam for a no-holds-barred 2h45m debate on the future of gold, the death of the dollar, and the coming financial reset. They agree on one thing: gold is going dramatically higher. They disagree on almost everything else: hyperinflation vs. deflation, Trump's tariffs, the Fed's relevance, and whether $10,000 gold arrives in 2026 or later. Recorded December 7, 2025 at GoldRepublic's headquarters as part of our 15-year anniversary series "The Future of Gold." 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: ⁠https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⁠ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.

Rick Rule joins us for a masterclass on natural resource investing: what actually works, what’s hype, and why most investors get wrecked even in bull markets. We cover his core contrarian framework “buy hate, sell love,” why he sold most of his silver and rotated into miners, and how to separate saving (gold) from investing and speculation. Rick also breaks down why gold moved first, why mining equities lag, what royalty/streaming gets right, and why 90% of listed mining companies are non-viable plus the hard reality that many “10-baggers” come with brutal drawdowns. In this interview: • Resource cycles and contrarian timing • Silver vs silver miners and valuation traps • Royalty/streaming vs operators • Why juniors are mostly dead money and how to filter them • What to watch next in precious metals and the macro backdrop

Louis-Vincent Gave argues we’re in a synchronized global reflation. Fiscal deficits are expanding, central banks are accommodating, yield curves are steepening, and commodities are breaking out. Financials, metals, emerging markets and Latin American debt are responding accordingly. The key risk? Not the Federal Reserve tightening—but energy prices or a bond market revolt. On China, he makes a blunt case: the US tech war forced Beijing to de-risk and upgrade. The result is a manufacturing leapfrog, a structural equity bull market, and a gradual push toward renminbi internationalization. He explains why the Hong Kong dollar peg still holds, why RMB bonds outperformed for a decade, and why he’s now backing Chinese equities over bonds. We also cover gold vs US Treasuries, central bank buying, the shift in FX reserves, and why energy—not precious metals—may be the real macro pivot from here. Serious macro positioning for a changing monetary order. 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: ⁠https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⁠ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.

Lynette Zang joins me for a deep dive into the end stages of the fiat monetary system. Drawing on decades of studying currency life cycles, she explains why the dollar’s purchasing power is effectively approaching zero, why gold and silver are not “rising” but currencies are failing, and why we are entering a historic monetary regime shift. We discuss gold’s true fundamental value, the collapse of Wall Street price discovery, the role of debt and derivatives, stablecoins, CBDCs, and what history tells us about how monetary systems always end. Lynette also shares why confidence, not numbers, is the real foundation of any currency and what individuals can do to protect purchasing power in the years ahead. 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: ⁠https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⁠ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.

In part 2 of this interview with Arno Wellens, we dive deep into the digital euro, CBDCs, and digital identity, exposing what’s really behind the push for a cashless Europe. We discuss negative interest rates, the removal of cash, capital controls, and how monetary policy is shifting toward surveillance and control. Is the digital euro about convenience — or about power, coercion, and the future of democracy in Europe?

Alasdair MacLeod returns on the Macroscopic Podcast to unpack what may be the most explosive macro setup of the decade: a global bond market break, a looming equity crash and the accelerating endgame of the fiat currency era. We also dive into the historic surge in precious metals, particularly silver and platinum, and why this time the rally may not be a speculative blow-off, but instead a structural shortage event driven by physical delivery and industrial demand. Alasdair shares why this setup could become the biggest silver squeeze in history, how China is reshaping the physical silver market and what forced short covering, margin dynamics and declining liquidity could mean for price discovery. 🏆 GET ONE FREE GRAM OF GOLD by opening an account at GoldRepublic: 👉 ⁠https://landing.goldrepublic.com/affiliates/macroscopic⁠ 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: ⁠https://bit.ly/38stf7p ⁠ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
