Elijah K. Johnson of Liberty and Finance joins Steve Barton to unpack the growing cracks in the global monetary system. He recounts how his childhood interest in coins evolved into a career studying the Federal Reserve, inflation, and the fundamentals of real money. Johnson outlines how gold and silver have held their value while fiat currencies continue to weaken, and explains why the surge in central bank gold buying is a major warning sign. He also discusses the current state of the bull market, noting that the lack of retail demand for precious metals signals we're still early in the cycle.
Johnson highlights why central bank digital currencies pose a serious risk to financial freedom, pointing to government overreach and the potential for total surveillance. He breaks down the best deals in the metals market right now, including junk silver and pre-1933 gold coins, and offers tips for investors looking to sell at the highest price. The episode closes with his call for long-term thinking, self-reliance, and the role of precious metals as both a hedge and a foundation for liberty in uncertain economic times.
