About this episode

The episode explores the dynamics of the Currency War, focusing on the shifting power of the U.S. dollar and the rise of the Yuan in global markets.

This is part 1 segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW (SimonDixonHardTalk. LIVE) which was broadcasted on 24 April 2026. Part 1 segment is titled:  The Currency War: Gold, Yuan, Oil & the Future of Dollar Dominance In Part One, we dive into the mechanics of the Currency War, tracking how the petrodollar is fracturing as the U.S. dollar transitions from being forcefully imposed to being actively negotiated through global FX swap lines. While the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) engineers a managed energy shock and lays the groundwork for massive fiat debasement, we follow the real capital repositioning. Physical gold is draining from West to East, the Yuan is gaining critical settlement relevance in energy markets, and programmable finance has exposed its vulnerabilities as $13 billion exits freeze-prone DeFi protocols directly into the safety of Bitcoin. The real question is no longer who wins the war, but who controls the money that settles the outcome. Watch on YouTube.
