[00:01] explaining to you what dedollarization is and for that I brought a prop. It's a fuzzy pen. So, what's this valued at? Let's just say it's worth $5. Maybe you can get it for three, maybe you can get it for 10,
[00:15] but let's just go with $5. Okay, but what if the US government told these fuzzy pens that you have to stop making these because the US government these. And the government also tells you, me,
[00:31] And the government also tells you, me, all Americans that we must obtain these fuzzy pens and failure to do so will result in you going to prison. So, in that scenario, what's going to happen to the value of these fuzzy pens?
[00:44] The value is going to shoot up because there's going to be much more demand for these fuzzy pens, right? That makes sense. Okay. It's the same thing with this. What is
[00:56] This is just cotton and linen. You can call this a piece of paper. What's the intrinsic value of this? It's zero. It's nothing. This is Again, this is just cotton and linen. It's a fiat currency backed by nothing.
[01:10] But why is this so valuable? It's because there's so much demand for this. Okay, why? Because if you don't obtain this, you're either going to end up in prison or you're going to end up in the streets.
[01:23] to prison? Have you heard of Wesley Snipes? Like you don't pay your taxes, you're going to end up in prison or in jail. I mean, these, what's going to happen? They're going to take away your home. You don't
[01:37] going to happen? They're going to take away your vehicle. So, ultimately, what's going on is that US dollars have value because there's big demand for US your attention. If you want to buy oil in the Middle
[01:52] East, then you need to buy it with dollars. It's the petrodollar system and dollars. It's the petrodollar system and that creates big demand for US dollars. to store their savings, they want to store their reserves in US dollars as
[02:05] well and that creates big demand for dollars as well. But what if oil started to be sold in other currencies outside of the dollar? What if governments and central banks didn't want to save or hold their
[02:19] reserves in dollars? Then there would be much less demand for dollars and if there's less demand for dollars, then the value of the dollar will fall. And if the value of the dollar falls, then it's going to require more devalued
[02:33] dollars to buy anything because they're going to be worth less because there's less demand for them. And then what's going to happen? go up, interest rates are going to go up and I guarantee you that average wages
[02:47] for Americans are not going to keep up and the standard of living for Americans will go down. And this is occurring right now in plain sight and the majority of Americans are clueless. Here's what you need to know.
[03:01] Right now, countries around the world are actively trying to move away from the US dollar, which means less demand for dollars. This process is called dedollarization and I want you to know that it's a process, it's not an event.
[03:16] that it's a process, it's not an event. Okay, why should you care? value of the dollar doesn't just affect the US government. The value of the dollar affects all Americans through inflation, interest rates, your
[03:31] investments and of course the cost of living. If the dollar weakens, then all that's going to become worse. So, most Americans take this privilege of a strong dollar for granted. Unfortunately, again, this privilege is
[03:45] being stripped from us right under our noses little by little. And as time goes on and countries dedollarize, you know, even more, most Americans will become noticeably poorer. So, there is actually a way to protect
[03:58] yourself and your family from dedollarization, which I'm going to be And I just want to say that okay, if you don't want to take my advice, fine, like be my guest. You know, all I can tell you is well, in that case, like
[04:11] I'll just say have fun in the future being stressed about money constantly and being miserable and having a bad attitude and watching life just pass you because you did nothing to defend yourself against the government's plan
[04:25] of financial slavery. Now, I want to show you this. Foreign central banks hold US treasuries in their reserves. You can think of these, you know, essentially as dollars because it's a huge component of the
[04:37] because it's a huge component of the dollar ecosystem. As of early 2026, gold has overtaken US treasuries as the world's largest central bank reserve asset for the first time in 30 years, marking a historic shift.
[04:51] So, central banks now hold roughly $4 in gold, surpassing the 3.9 trillion held in US treasuries. So, do you see what's happening? Demand that was previously going towards dollars and US treasuries are now
[05:04] shifting towards gold. Okay, a very good question is, why is this happening? Why do central banks want to hold fewer US treasuries or dollars? In other words, diversify away from the dollar. And I'll tell you it's for many reasons,
[05:18] but I'll give you the top reason. So, the first one is the weaponization of the US dollar. Two, fiscal irresponsibility by the US government and three, money printing by the Federal Reserve. Now, let me share with you how
[05:33] incentivizing other countries to move away from the US dollar. One of the biggest turning points in this entire conversation happened back this entire conversation happened back in 2022. After Russia invaded Ukraine,
[05:46] the United States and its allies imposed massive sanctions on Russia. And one of the most significant actions was this. The United States of America and allies froze a large portion of Russia's foreign exchange reserves.
[06:00] billions of dollars of Russia's money. So, like these reserves were, you know, they were held in western financial institutions including dollar-denominated assets. And once those reserves were frozen,
[06:15] Russia effectively lost access to them. Now, from a policy standpoint, this was Russia, right? But from a global perspective, this sent
[06:27] a very clear message to other countries and the message was, "If your assets are held in dollars, then they can be frozen." countries and central banks to trust in the dollar because if they don't submit
[06:43] confiscated with a simple keystroke. Now, let's talk US government and the massive amount of money printing by the Federal Reserve.
[06:57] Listen, if another country buys US treasuries, that's essentially other countries lending money to the US government. Again, a big component of the dollar ecosystem. And the US government needs money. Like
[07:11] collect about $5 in taxes. So, you can income. And the government's going to spend about seven trillion. So, bring in five and spend seven. Okay, so how do you do that? Like how do
[07:23] you spend seven trillion dollars when you earn five trillion? The answer is that you borrow the difference. The government's going to sell treasuries, which are basically IOUs. I just want you to take a look at
[07:37] how much the national debt has been growing over the past few years. You know, thanks to negligent overspending by the US government. disturbing. Like this is up to fiscal year 2025.
[07:50] year 2025. And now, the US government is in debt 39 trillion dollars. And I want to ask you this simple math question. How long is it going to take to pay back 39 trillion dollars when you overspend
[08:04] by two trillion dollars a year? And the answer is, never. The situation has gotten so bad that there's not enough buyers of US treasuries. There's That's why the Federal Reserve has been printing money to make up the
[08:19] So, when you have this fiscal irresponsibility combined with money printing, it makes other countries trust less in the US dollar system. So, sure, if they buy US treasuries, they're going to get paid back with some
[08:34] interest. However, they're getting paid back with devalued dollars. Okay, so if moving away from dollars, then what are they doing with their savings and their trade surpluses? So, instead of getting dollars to buy US
[08:48] treasuries, they've been heavily purchasing gold, like physical gold and it's grown by. Now, let's talk about the US dollar in global trade. But before we go any further, let's be realistic about this.
[09:02] Despite all these developments, the US dollar is still the dominant global currency, right? So, the majority of global trade still involves the dollar. Most commodities are still priced in dollars. However, as
[09:16] I told you earlier, dedollarization is a process, it's not an event and the dedollarization process is in progress. Here's what we're seeing. agreements being settled in local currencies outside of the dollar. We're
[09:32] seeing countries experimenting with alternative payment systems as well. Now, none of these are going to replace the dollar overnight, but it does gradually reduce its share and over time, this is going to have real
[09:44] consequences. And I just want to say this, the sad part is that the US government is accelerating the process of dedollarization. Okay, what am I referring to? I'm talking about the sanctions and the
[09:56] geopolitics, abusive implementation and bad policies, which is making the situation even worse. For example, I want you to take a look at what happened in Russia. The war between Ukraine and Russia, it's
[10:09] really a proxy war. It's really the United States against Russia. allies against Russia. So, the US's strategy was to sanction Russia to isolate their economy and
[10:22] financially devastate their country, right? That was the goal. And while sanctions did have an impact, Russia adapted. It increased their trade with other countries, it shifted transactions into
[10:34] other currencies, and it built alternative financial pathways. Now, again, this doesn't mean that sanctions failed entirely, but it does show that countries can adjust. And that adjustment often involves reducing
[10:49] reliance on the US dollar. So, our master plan actually backfired and it accelerated de-dollarization. And I'm sure you're not oblivious to happening in Iran. The war in Iran is a war of choice. You
[11:06] have nukes. The US government wanted regime change, And it's also a proxy war against China because most of that oil from Iran, about 90% of that goes to China.
[11:19] And these oil transactions, they're getting done in yuan, which is very upsetting to the US government. And why is this upsetting to the US Okay, so here's how the dollar system works.
[11:31] works. If Iran sold their oil in US dollars, earned, they would take those dollars and they would invest it into US But what's hap- what's happening in Iran?
[11:44] Iran is selling their oil to China. Iran is getting paid in yuan, and with those yuan, Iran is buying Chinese goods. China? They're buying machinery,
[11:58] manufacturing equipment, weapons, electronics, vehicles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, steel, solar panels, etc. And of course, the US government doesn't like this. The US government wants that
[12:10] money for the US. So, the goal was regime change, have Iran price their oil in dollars, and with those dollars, Iran would buy American products, invest in the US stock market, and most importantly, buy
[12:25] US treasuries. However, Iran refuses to cooperate and submit to the US. I just want you to know that historically, oil has been priced and traded in US dollars. So, that's a major
[12:39] reason why global demand for dollars has remained strong. But now we're starting to see changes. Multiple countries are exploring energy trade in Chinese yuan, in local currencies, and alternative settlement
[12:53] systems. But even small shifts in energy markets largest global markets. And if more transactions move outside the dollar, dollars. Additionally, I want you to take I mean,
[13:08] is doing. The toll that they're charging is in Chinese yuan, not US dollars. That's why the US is pretty upset right now. Now, a very good question is how do we judge the progress of de-dollarization?
[13:25] And I would say that the best indicator is the US Treasury markets. When countries trade in dollars, they accumulate all these dollars, and then they use those dollars to buy US treasuries.
[13:37] transacting in dollars, there's going to be big demand for US treasuries, and that's going to give us lower interest rates, which it has been. And of course, lower interest rates are good for the US government because they
[13:50] borrow money, and that's good for Americans that need to take out whatever type of loan, whether it be a mortgage or an auto loan or student loans or say this. If you're still not following
[14:03] like how all this works, I want to explain it to you like this. Let's just say that Michael Jordan announces, like he says, "I need some people to lend me some money."
[14:15] Okay, in that case, I guarantee you there's going to be big demand to lend Jordan, or they would do it in hopes to meet Jordan or for whatever reason. So, you're going to have people saying,
[14:29] I'll lend you money at a good rate. I'll lend you money, you just got to pay me a going to be like, "No, no, no, Jordan, I'll lend you money for 3%." And someone else is going to be like, "No, Jordan, let me lend you money. Just give me 2%."
[14:44] You see, when there's strong demand, the interest rate is going to go down. treasuries. If there's strong demand for US treasuries, then the interest rate's going to go down because people are willing to lend money at a lower rate.
[14:59] Now, let's just say that David Freeman says the same thing, "I need some people to lend me some money." I'm telling you, you're not going to get the same reaction as Jordan. Like, do you know who David Freeman is? No?
[15:13] Like, I don't I never heard of a David Freeman in my life. So, if David Freeman Freeman in my life. So, if David Freeman asked people to lend him money, I'm not going to lend you money." You know, some people are going to be
[15:26] I'll lend you money if you pay me an interest rate of 15% because I don't know who the hell you are." So, you see, when there's less demand, then the interest rate's going to go up. Interest rates need to go up in order to
[15:40] Interest rates need to go up in order to incentivize people to lend money to you. the same thing with the US treasuries. If there's fewer people transacting in dollars, then there's going to be less demand for US treasuries, which means
[15:53] that interest rates will go up. And that's going to be terrible news for the US government who's in debts by $39 trillion, and that's going to be bad for Americans that are looking to get a mortgage or auto loan or student loans
[16:05] or whatever it may be. So, ultimately, what is going on with the world? They're transacting less in dollars. China, Russia, Iran, BRICS.
[16:17] They're saving less in dollars, so there's less demand for dollars. And when there's less demand for dollars, the currency becomes even more devalued. power for Americans and for our governments, which means a lower
[16:31] And that's the consequence of de-dollarization. Now, let me ask you a question. Do you have aspirations to become poorer in the future?
[16:44] for you and your family, then you should ask the question, "How do I protect myself from de-dollarization?" do it, but in my opinion, I believe that the best way to do it is to buy gold to
[16:57] protect yourself. Like, you can buy physical gold, which I've done. You can buy gold on the stock markets, which I've done. Or you can buy gold stocks. There's gold miners, there's gold royalty companies,
[17:09] there's gold streaming companies, you know, which I've done, too. Okay, why gold? It's because that's where the demand is going. Look at the central banks, like you know, the people with the money
[17:22] And the best part is, of course, they can't print gold. I'm going to end with this. If you want to see what I'm specifically investing in, come join me. sites. I'm going to leave a link for you down below. So, over there, you can get
