In 2021, the Wall Street Journal published an article warning that the rise of the coalition of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) posed an existential threat to the U.S. Dollar and its dominance across the globe. The article was quickly taken down with no explanation, but the message was crystal clear. That same message has been echoed repeatedly by financial and non-financial news outlets, though only those in alternative media have been ringing the alarm bells very loudly.

The end of summer, 2023, marks the true beginning of the worldwide efforts for “de-dollarization.” It’s been in progress for a while, but the August BRICS meeting was essentially an announcement of the beginning of the end for the U.S. Dollar as six more members were added while dozens wait to join the ranks.

Of particular concern is the fact that Saudi Arabia has joined BRICS. This means the Petrodollar is officially in the crosshairs and the Dollar’s status as the world reserve currency is in jeopardy. Many economists and geopolitical analysts are now saying that De-Dollarization and a crashing of the U.S. economy is not a question of “if” but “when”?

Making matters worse, the Biden-Harris regime seems far more concerned about spreading pronouns and gender inclusivity around the globe than defending our currency’s status. They either don’t realize the dangers we’re facing or they are knowingly engaged in the decimation of our nation’s wealth. Are they simply stupid or fully evil?

Anyone who has either been on the fence about physical precious metals or who have never considered investing in them should take a very close look as soon as possible. Whether hedging one’s on-hand holdings with gold and silver in the safe or defending their retirement accounts through rollover or transfer into self-directed IRAs, it behooves Americans who are seeing what’s happening around us to contact one or both of our precious metals sponsors.

Gold companies are not created equal. In fact, the vast majority of them thrive on taking advantage of concerned Americans and overcharging for their services. This is why The Liberty Daily hand-selected two America First companies to recommend to our readers. Advisor Metals is a small company that specializes in bullion while Genesis Gold Group is a larger company that specializes in numismatics. Both can help their customers secure retirement or wealth with physical precious metals.

If De-Dollarization is not stopped, it will likely creep until it suddenly crashes everything, The U.S. Dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency is the only thing that has prevented us from being crushed under the weight of over $30 trillion in national debt. That protection is being lifted rapidly, and while it may be construed as “fearmongering” to warn of such things, those in the know would see it as a valid and necessary warning of what’s coming in our near future.

Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. Regardless of whether BRICS succeeds or not, it make sense for Americans to shift what they can into the “smart money” as soon as possible.

Contact Genesis Gold Group or Advisor Metals today.

This is extremely concerning to any American who can read the writing on the wall. There were no warning signs, no rumblings in financial sectors, and no leaks. The FDIC was able to take a bank from dying to sold without anyone in the public being aware. This tells us two important things. First, they now have contingencies in place to manage bank collapses which tells us they’re expecting more. Second, it means that anywhere we are banking may be in distress at any given moment and we will have no idea until it’s too late.

The Heartland Tri-State Bank collapse worked well. As far as we can tell, nobody was majorly harmed by it as the only inconvenience was not having access to the physical bank on Saturday morning. Checks and ATMs still worked and by the following Monday the replacement bank was put in place for business as usual.

The next collapse may not be as smooth. Or the one after that. Or the 10 at a time that could come at any moment. By no means am I trying to be a fearmonger, but as I noted earlier the proverbial writing appears to be on the wall. This is where it can get ugly.

Bail-Ins

Some Americans are familiar with the “bail-in” ploy that was put in place following the 2009 economic downturn. Instead of government stepping in with taxpayer money through a bail-out, a bail-in uses money from those who have funds in the bank. According to Investopedia:

Bail-ins provide immediate relief when banks use money from their unsecured creditors, including depositors and bondholders, to restructure their capital. Banks can convert their debt into equity to increase their capital requirements. Although depositors run the risk of losing some of their deposits, banks can only use deposits over the $250,000 protection provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

That last part is comforting for those who do not have more than a quarter million dollars in the bank, but FDIC protections would be meaningless in a catastrophic scenario such as rapid hyperinflation or the reversing of the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency. Both scenarios, while not very likely today, are still possible and are becoming increasingly likely with every passing day of poor economic policies and a world that seems bent on taking us down.

For those with assets greater than $250,000 in the bank, now would be a great time to diversify. Clearly our preference is for physical precious metals. Advisor Metals can do cash purchases of bullion and ship it discreetly to your door; metals in the safe are quickly becoming a solid option over money in the bank. Genesis Gold Group specializes in converting 401Ks, IRAs, and other retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. Both options are being strongly considered by people across the nation.

Central Bank Digital Currency

All of the banking shenanigans support the advancement of a Central Bank Digital Currency to replace the U.S. Dollar in the near future. Implementation is the tricky part, which is why some are saying the banking collapse is being manufactured. It’s much easier to implement CBDCs after a consolidation of banks in which smaller and regional banks are mostly engulfed by the big banks that are already on board with a near-future “Digital Dollar.”

This, too, supports the notion of moving portions of wealth or retirement to physical precious metals. Money in the bank, stocks in the portfolio, or cryptocurrencies in the wallet are all threatened by the rise of a CBDC in America. Physical precious metals are not only less threatened by most economists’ reckoning, but they may actually benefit greatly from a shift to a Digital Dollar. This is why central banks themselves are buying up as much gold and silver as possible.

Physical precious metals are strong hedges no matter which direction the nation  heads with CBDCs. If they’re never adopted, precious metals can be liquidated into fiat currency. If CBDCs are adopted soon, the moves by central banks and asset managers like BlackRock tell us precious metals will convert to Digital Dollars just as easily as they’d convert to paper dollars. And if things get really bad in a hurry, precious metals have an opportunity to provide true wealth protection through massive economic turmoil.

This is why we strongly encourage readers to contact Genesis Gold Group and/or Advisor Metals to secure their life’s savings with gold and silver.

The real threat in all of this isn’t the government. It’s not just the central banks. It isn’t even just the Globalist Elite Cabal. The real threat is complacent adoption of the machinations in store for us by a population that is generally unaware and uncaring. Don’t be one among the masses who fail to act because they don’t know or don’t care. Make the move to smart money today.

We strongly recommend working with our precious metals sponsors. Now is not the time to sit back and see what happens. The worst-case-scenario is in the process of dropping. That’s not fearmongering. That’s simply the reality of a government that is determined to control us and and a population made up of far too many people who are okay with being controlled.

The masses will embrace FedNow giddily. They will be even happier when the “safe” and “secure” Digital Dollar comes out in the coming years or even months. Prudent Americans with their eyes opening will see the writing on the wall and make moves to protect their life’s savings.

Genesis Gold Group or Advisor Metals can help. Contact one or both today. Here’s Tyler Durden…

As FedNow Launches, Fed Reassures Public That ‘Service Has No Relation With CBDCs’

As Bruce WIlds noted earlier in the week, The Fed has stated that FedNow is not intended to kill or replace other money transfer options like Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle. Instead, it is designed to work alongside the current systems built by the private sector. Still. FedNow could rapidly become a game changer. Money.com notes this FedNow is launching soon. FedNow was scheduled to begin formal certification of participants of the program in April 2023, with a formal launch planned for July 2023. It will operate on a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year basis,

This new system differs from consumer-facing apps which allow instant peer-to-peer payments, FedNow won’t be an app per se. It’s more designed to allow banks to move money instantly. More than 50 financial institutions are “early adopters” of FedNow, some of the notable banks that will use FedNow include JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Peoples Bank.

FedNow will only be available to customers of the banks that choose to implement FedNow. The Fed says all 10,000 or so banks that are regulated by the Fed can join but will not be required to do so. The claim is that, for everyday people, FedNow could make managing money much easier and faster. It would allow you to pay your mortgage bill on Christmas Day without worrying about it being delayed or late because of the holiday.

This also means that transferring money between, say, your checking and savings accounts at different banks could be done instantly. Even gig workers like Uber drivers could get paid immediately after each completed ride. It also means a record of every transaction that occurs will be put on “record.” In short “big-brother” will know everything you do, your preferences, and how you live your life. To many of us, this amounts to an invasion of privacy. 

And now, as The Fed prepares to unleash their new service, they seen to reassure the public.

As Arjit Sarkar reports at CoinTelegraph.com, The US Federal Reserve clarified that its new service for instant payments between organizations — the FedNow Service — has no relation with central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

The Fed certified the FedNow Service as “ready” after it onboarded 41 financial institutions, 15 service providers and the U.S. Department of the Treasury to test the system before its launch by the end of July 2023. However, the central bank had to clarify that the promise of instant fiat payments and real-time gross settlement (RTGS) is not powered by a CBDC.

In a tweet, the Fed stated that FedNow Service is similar to other payment services, such as Fedwire and FedACH, which work within the boundaries of the fiat ecosystem. It said:

“The FedNow Service is not related to a digital currency. The FedNow Service is a payment service the Federal Reserve is making available for banks and credit unions to transfer funds for their customers.”

The Federal Reserve further confirmed that it has not yet decided on issuing the highly anticipated CBDC and “would only proceed with the issuance of a CBDC with an authorizing law.”

The table above highlights the initial list of participants. However, the Federal Reserve plans to onboard all 10,000 U.S. financial institutions in time to come.

On May 11, the Fed announced the integration of Metal Blockchain into the FedNow Service.

Metal Blockchain is a crypto network developed by Metallicus based on a fork of Avalanche’s code. According to its documents, the network features a subnet called X-Chain that allows developers to enact rules for transferring assets. For example, a token can be issued with the rule that it “can only be sent to US citizens” or “can’t be traded until tomorrow.”

We give the last word back to Bruce Wilds, who argues that FedNow is another step towards more control over the individual. Twenty minutes into this video by Coin Bureau the narrator takes the stand that FedNow truly seems to be a Trojan Horse to usher in a CBDC system.

It points out that while not everyone will choose to “opt-in” and adopt such a system, it will appear benign to most people and rapidly be accepted. Even those that resist will find the government will most likely force them to use it when dealing with official agencies.

You know it’s bad when 3% inflation is considered “good” news. The Fed’s target is 2% and leftists complained about that being too high during the Trump era.

Understandably, many Americans are seeking to protect their wealth and retirement with physical precious metals. But here’s the thing, and this is important to understand. The vast majority of precious metals companies in America deal only in numismatic, or “rare,” minted precious metals.

In a good economy, there’s nothing wrong with this strategy. These “special” coins and bars have an opportunity to appreciate outside of the price of gold and silver.

The problem is we’re not in a good economy and unless one believes things are going to turn around in the very near future, it makes more sense for Americans to purchase simple rounds or bars based on weight rather than rarity to put in their safes or to back their retirements through self-directed IRAs.

This is why Ira Bershatsky at Advisor Metals strongly recommends rounds and bars. He can sell numismatics just like everyone else, but considering the current state of the economy, filling your safe or depository with as much gold and silver as possible based on weight makes the most sense.

He listed three reasons why this is the case:

1. Easier Liquidation: When the time comes to sell your precious metals, finding buyers based on weight is far easier than finding them based on rarity. This is especially true if the “crap hits the fan” in an economic collapse. During such times, an ounce of silver is an ounce of silver. Nobody’s going to pay a premium just because a coin has Joseph II of Austria engraved on it if the apocalypse is happening around them.
2. Tied to Value of Metals: With numismatics, the value is based on demand. This is why they can be marked up literally hundreds of percentage points above the cost of the gold and silver itself. With rounds and bars, the value is based on the weight. This means far less price fluctuation. And while the chances of scoring a big return from rounds and bars is low, the stability they offer act as the ultimate hedge in a down economy.
3. The Post Apocalypse: If things don’t get as bad as many think they will or if the economy dramatically turns in the right direction followed by a red wave in 2024, then rounds and bars make sense. If things continue to go south for the economy, then rounds and bars make even more sense. But if the situation deteriorates and the economy collapse, rounds and bars make FAR more sense than numismatics. In a post-apocalyptic society, both the ease of liquidation and value retention of rounds and bars go up exponentially.

The Doomsday Naysayers

“You can’t eat silver coins!”

This is a common retort whenever anyone writes an article or does a video about buying gold and silver ahead of a “crap hits the fan” scenario. In truth, they’re partially correct. If the economy collapses and society devolves instantly into chaos, gold and silver will not keep your family from starving… at least at first.

But throughout human history, precious metals have been the only constant within the world’s economy. They have always held value. There have always been those willing to buy or trade for them. Even during stages of localized apocalypse when huge groups of people were displaced, they kept their precious metals with them to help them rebuild in their new homelands.

It is safe to assume that if the “crap hits the fan,” the initial state of chaos will be followed by new normalization. Any time this happens, alternative economies have formed and invariably gold and silver have been the centerpiece in such scenarios.

And as Ira always tell people concerned about a soon-apocalypse, gold and silver are secondary considerations AFTER you have food, water, ammunition, shelter, energy, and medicine covered. Those who are struggling to keep food in the cupboard shouldn’t be buying gold and silver. Those who have their supplies and situation in order and are ready to prepare economically should DEFINITELY consider gold and silver.
