De-Dollarization Debate with Brent Johnson, John Butler, Whitney Baker and Izabella Kaminska

About this episode

A debate on the future of gold and the global monetary system featuring experts discussing the potential for a historic reset.

In this second session of the Future of Gold series, Brent Johnson, Whitney Baker, Izabella Kaminska and John Butler debate one of the most consequential questions of our time: is the global monetary system on the verge of a historic reset, and what role will gold play in what comes next? The conversation starts with gold’s re-emergence as a monetary anchor, then escalates into a sharp disagreement over whether gold will be officially remonetized, whether the dollar can remain dominant through crisis, and whether China’s gold strategy signals the beginning of a new system. From there, the panel dives into oil trade settlement, physical versus paper gold, Eastern vs Western pricing power, and the role tokenized gold and stablecoins could play in a new Bretton Woods-style framework. 🟠 Use code SESSION2 to get 20% off transaction fees on your next two purchases of physical gold, silver, or platinum (valid until April 30th). 👉 Open an account: https://www.goldrepublic.nl/?ref=264661 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store…
