About this episode

Simon Dixon discusses the financial system's impact on wealth and the role of alternative assets like gold and Bitcoin.

Is the financial system designed to take your wealth? In this in-depth interview, Alexej Jordanov sits down with Simon Dixon — economist, author of Bank to the Future, and one of the earliest Bitcoin investors — to follow the money behind central banks, gold, the collapsing petrodollar, and the rise of what he calls the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC). From the dot-com crash that wiped out his father's pension to inside stories of stock market manipulation, IPOs, and investment banking, Simon explains how governments, companies and individuals become subordinated to transnational capital — and how gold, silver and Bitcoin let you sit outside the system, preserve your purchasing power, and protect your wealth. We cover central bank gold buying, de-dollarisation, BRICS, currency debasement, the end of the petrodollar, BlackRock, the IMF and BIS, "you'll own nothing and be happy," wealth taxes and asset stripping across Europe and the UK, CBDCs, stablecoins, the Genius Act, Bitcoin self-custody and sovereignty. 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Apple Store…
