Trump's New Fed Chair Just Crushed Gold, Silver, Bitcoin

[00:00] President Trump's new Fed chair recently finished his first meeting, and his announcements caused Monday to change overnight. Gold prices crashed to under $4,000 for the first time in months, silver prices crashed

[00:12] even harder than that, and Bitcoin prices fell off of a cliff. This is where everybody is pointing their fingers at Kevin Worsh's new economic plan as the trigger for the gold, silver, and Bitcoin crash, but that's not the full story.

[00:25] In this video, I'm going to break it all down. Kevin Worsh is the chairman at the central bank of the United States called the Federal Reserve Bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank has two jobs. Number one, their job is to maximize the job market, meaning keeping unemployment low.

[00:40] Their other job is to keep inflation under control, and the way that the Fed does this is by managing and controlling two things. The first thing that the Federal Reserve Bank controls is something called interest rates.

[00:54] The other thing that the Federal Reserve Bank controls is the dollar, specifically money printing, and how much money is floating around in the United States economy. So when the Federal Reserve Bank sees that the job market is struggling, the economy is

[01:08] struggling. What the Federal Reserve Bank will do is they will cut interest rates and print money. In other words, they will stimulate the economy. When interest rates go down, mortgage rates go down, car loan rates go down, and people

[01:21] start spending money again. When people start spending money again, realtors get more commission checks, mortgage bankers get more commission checks, title companies get more commission checks, so the economy starts to move, which helps improve the job market.

[01:34] On the flip side, when inflation is a problem like we saw after the pandemic, the Federal Reserve Bank then will raise interest rates. That raising of interest rates means people spend less money because they're borrowing less

[01:46] money, and that helps to cool down the economy, to cool down inflation. But it's very difficult for the Federal Reserve Bank to do these two things at the same time, because you can't cut interest rates and raise interest rates at the same time.

[01:58] You can only pick one, and this is the dilemma that the Federal Reserve Bank has been dealing with, and Kevin Worse made an announcement that shocked a lot of people on Wall Street. Ever since President Trump entered the White House, he has been promising and demanding lower

[02:12] interest rates coming into the United States. We should be paying the lowest interest rate of everybody. Well, the tricky part about this is although it's called the Federal Reserve Bank, it's not

[02:27] a bank because you and I can't go there to deposit money. It's not a reserve because it's not sitting on any cash reserves, and it's not federal because it's not a part of the federal government, which means President Trump cannot tell the Federal

[02:39] Reserve Bank what to do. But in May 2026, this is where everybody was counting down until President Trump was able to appoint a new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank because the previous chairman's term expired.

[02:51] So, the President couldn't tell the Fed to cut interest rates. Instead, he was finally able to appoint the new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank, who is Kevin Worse. And this is where everybody thought and hoped that Kevin Worse is going to come in

[03:04] and cut interest rates aggressively because that's where President Trump wanted. But immediately after Kevin Worse gave his first speech as the new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank, the economy and investors realized he's not going to do a President Trump once,

[03:19] and that shocked the gold market, the silver market, and the Bitcoin market. What did he say? The first thing that Kevin Worse said is that right now we're not going to cut interest rates, we're going to keep interest rates where they are, which was not too big of a shock for Wall Street

[03:32] because people kind of expected that. But what he said next is what caused that big sell-off and gold silver in Bitcoin because the next thing he said is that I know that you were expecting multiple interest rates cuts in 2026.

[03:46] Well, that probably will not be happening. In fact, we might actually be raising interest rates before the year ends in 2026. So people were hoping that Kevin Worse is going to come in and cut interest rates as a way to

[04:00] boost the economy. That's what Wall Street was hoping for. And said he said, no, I'm not planning on cutting interest rates. We're actually now looking at raising interest rates, making bar and more expensive,

[04:12] which could now hurt the economy as a way to bring inflation down. This is what caused the big sell-off in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Now you're going to say, well, why did this decision start that sell-off?

[04:27] And what else contributed to the sell-off in gold, silver, and Bitcoin? Because this is where things get very important and interesting for you to understand as an investor. By the way, these changes by the Federal Reserve Bank move money.

[04:40] And when money moves, it creates investment opportunity. That's what particularly a new investing masterclass that will show you how these changes at the Federal Reserve Bank, including the changes with AI, are creating a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity for investors. It's the free investing masterclass when you sign up for

[04:55] the masterclass. You're also going to get added to market briefs, which is my newsletter for investors. It's completely free. So if you want to get the investing masterclass and market briefs all for free, all you have to do is sign up and I have that link for you down in the description.

[05:07] But this is where you have to take a step back and understand why the Federal Reserve Bank is drastically changing their strategy on how to fix the economy in 2026. And it really goes to what is going on in the Middle East.

[05:20] Because after the United States attacked Iran, oil prices skyrocketed. These higher oil prices then contributed to a lot of inflation in the economy. Why? Because the higher oil prices led to higher gas prices,

[05:33] it led to higher diesel prices, it had to hire shipping costs, higher travel costs, higher grocery costs, higher fertilizer costs, which meant now the prices are pretty much everything went up. And now even today, despite the fact that oil prices have come

[05:47] down significantly, the things have not come down in price. Gas prices are still higher. Diesel prices are still higher. And so we haven't seen that relief with inflation and this is where

[05:59] now Kevin Worsh is saying we have to take a look at the two problems in the economy. We have pain in the job market. We have pain with inflation. And Kevin Worsh is saying my concerns, this is the Fed, my concerns are more about inflation and the dollar because if we do

[06:15] not tame inflation and the dollar today is going to pose much bigger concerns for our economy in the future. And the reason why this is important for you to understand is because now you want to understand why gold, silver and bitcoin took such a hit. And there are three main reasons why. The first

[06:30] reason why is because all three of these assets, gold, silver and bitcoin are known as the debatement trade, which means they are bets against the dollar. The idea that the dollar is going to collapse, the idea that the dollar is going to lose value, the idea that the dollar is going to be

[06:45] weakened because of inflation. All of these things have been huge concerns for many years. And because people were concerned about the dollar collapsing essentially, they were turning to these other debatement assets, things like gold, things like silver, things like bitcoin to protect you against the dollar

[07:01] losing value. But this is where Kevin Worsh came in and said, I'm not going to listen to a present Trump wants. I don't want to make a weaker dollar. I want to strengthen the United States dollar. I want to bring back the strength to the American currency and that shocked gold, silver and bitcoin.

[07:18] Reason number two is that opportunity cost just got more expensive. The one thing that gold, silver and bitcoin all have in common is that when you own them, you don't get paid any dividends. You don't get paid any interest. They just sit there. When you buy gold or silver, it just sits there

[07:31] and a vault looking back at you. It doesn't actually do anything. And this is where now that opportunity cost of waiting for these assets, gold, silver and bitcoin to shoot up, just got a lot more expensive

[07:43] because now it's the Federal Reserve Bank is talking about raising interest rates that means holding cash can now pay you more money. What does that mean? If people cash into a savings account or a high savings account or into a treasury and as interest rates go up, the interest rate that you will get while

[07:59] holding on to the cash would now be going up as well because now if you can put your money into a treasury that's paying you 4% or 5% a year, that's 4% to 5% now that the gold, silver and bitcoin has to

[08:11] outperform to make it worthwhile to buy those assets versus the cash and as interest rates go up that opportunity cost of not getting any returns on your money while waiting becomes more expensive.

[08:23] The third change is the fear triggers are coming down. Every time you see concerns about the economy, that's what then triggers these assets, gold, silver and bitcoin to generally rise. When there was concerns about tariffs, we saw gold, silver and bitcoin benefit because people said this is going to

[08:39] hurt the United States economy, we need to get out of the United States dollar. When the United States attacked Iran, people said we need to get out of the United States dollar because this inflation is going to hurt the United States economy, it's going to hurt the value of the United States dollar.

[08:51] Well today, the concern about tariffs is not what it was before. Today, the concern about the war in the Middle East, although there's always concerns about it restarting or ending or whatever, those concerns are not as scary as they were before and because there's no fear trigger today,

[09:08] that fear trigger is not driving up the prices of gold, silver and bitcoin, which means these three things now at the same time we're able to come out and hammer gold, silver and bitcoin

[09:20] at the exact same time. Now I'm going to talk about whether this is a good buying opportunity or not in just a minute, but I want to talk about bitcoin for a second because bitcoin prices got absolutely demolished in 2026 and part of the reason for that going beyond this all still has to do with

[09:35] something called liquidation. The idea of being a lot of people are buying bitcoin as a speculative investment. They know that bitcoin is going to shoot up and go down and because it's very speculative, people have been trading it as a speculative investment with a lot of debt. Some people are spending

[09:50] $1 and then getting $10 at bitcoin or $20 at bitcoin, which means there's a lot of leverage, a lot of debt being used to buy and trade these investments like bitcoin. Well what happens now

[10:04] when that investment goes up? Well now you get richer because now your $1 investment might be able to make you $10 or $20 more money. But if that bitcoin price falls, now not only do you lose

[10:17] more money, but it ends up happening now is the broker or the investment tool that you're using to buy this bitcoin to allow this debt forces you to sell because there are stop losses in place. Oftentimes

[10:29] these are called margin calls in the stock market, but because there's a lot of people trading bitcoin with derivatives, it has different terms. Just understand that this is called liquidation. The idea of being that bitcoin sales are being forced because people are buying the bitcoin not

[10:43] on the asset. They're buying it because they want to get rich and they're buying it with 10x or 20x debt. And so now when bitcoin prices fall, it then triggers more liquidation, which then causes a bigger dominant more sell-off, which is why bitcoin prices have been cut in half since the highs. Silver

[10:58] also has beginning to hit a lot harder than gold, partially because silver is just more volatile than gold, but also people look at silver differently than gold, where gold is really just a hedge against inflation. Silver is partially a hedge against inflation, but it's also used in many different industries.

[11:14] It's used in the economy. And so now we can get hit if there are concerns about inflation and if there's concerns about silver's usage in the economy. Now the big talk of a silver has been there's a shortage of silver, but we need more silver for EVs. We need more silver for many different parts

[11:29] in the economy, so there's a silver shortage. And this is why many people believe that we need higher prices for silver, but there's a difference between a Wall Street to believe silver should be traded, yet meaning paper traders and the actual users of the silver itself. And that can take some time to

[11:45] regulate because Wall Street can drive up the prices of silver or drive down the prices of silver to make it not really in line with reality, but understand this is why silver prices are a lot more volatile than gold prices. Now this is where the question that everybody has is what's going to come

[11:59] next and should I buy gold silver and or Bitcoin? And this is where I do like to look at history because while history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it does rhyme. The last time we heard the Federal Reserve bank talking about raising interest rates was 2022. And with 2022 hit, interest rates went up.

[12:16] We saw gold prices get hit, silver prices get hit, Bitcoin prices fell by around 60%. That's forward from 2022 to today and gold silver and Bitcoin did not go down to zero. In fact, they're significantly higher today than we were back in 2022. So understand that there is a lot of panic and

[12:33] a lot of emotion out there, but does it mean you should buy? It depends on what your goal is as an investor. Now I can't tell you what to do because I'm just a random guy on YouTube. Investing has risks. You are never guaranteed to make money when you invest. In fact, you will lose money at some

[12:46] point. So make sure you always do your own due diligence and never blindly trust a random guy on YouTube. But the thing that you want to understand is what are you investing in and why? When I talk about investing in gold, I'll talk about me for a second. Not because I recommend what I do to anybody else,

[13:00] but just so you understand where I'm coming from. I haven't bought gold for a long time. This is small piece of my portfolio. This is about 2% of my portfolio. I really don't care what the price of gold is because for me gold is a hedge against inflation. It is like doomsday insurance. It is just

[13:16] thing that I buy as a way to save hard money. My theory is if I save $10,000 worth of cash and $10,000 worth of gold in my backyard and I bury both of them. In 30 years, I believe the gold will have more buying power than the cash. But I don't like gold as an investment because it's not

[13:31] actually producing any value. So gold and silver kind of have that going for it where people believe that it will continue to be a hedge against the dollar and when there are concerns of inflation, they will go up. When those concerns go away, they will go down. I mean, just take a look at historical

[13:47] gold prices. When the 2008 crash happened, quantitative easing was happening. Money was being printed. Concerns about inflation and hyperinflation were everywhere. So gold prices boomed between 2008 and 2012. But then in 2012, when people realized that the dollar was not going to collapse,

[14:03] gold prices fell. And then they stayed low all the way, not until 2013 or 14 or 15, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, but until 2020. 2020, when the pandemic hit, the money printer was turned back on. That was when gold prices started breaking new record highs again. So gold benefits when there's

[14:18] concerns about inflation, gold benefits when there's concerns about the economy, gold benefits when there's concerns about the dollar. And so that's where you want to understand how it plays in your portfolio. Silver kind of follows a lot of what gold does, but it's a lot more volatile because of the things

[14:31] that I've already discussed. Bitcoin is a little bit difficult because Bitcoin is a lot more speculative. Bitcoin hasn't been around four centuries like gold has. Bitcoin is this newer asset and some people believe that it's not going to be able to meet the technology side of the future. All the people

[14:45] say that it is the tech of the future. And so this is where Bitcoin is a little bit different where you have to also bet now if the technology in Bitcoin is going to continue to thrive in the future. For me, I believe it's a speculative investment. If you believe that there's going to be Bitcoin 10

[15:01] years from now, within this could be a good buying point if it continues to go lower because generally, if you believe in the value of an asset, you want to buy it when it's cheap because now you can

[15:13] buy it when everybody else is selling. But if you don't believe that Bitcoin is a technology of the future, if we don't understand it, then it's probably not something you should be buying because now you're buying something you don't understand and now you're just gambling. It can make you a lot of money, but it can also lose you all of your money. That's the thing that you want to understand.

[15:27] So if you believe in the Bitcoin technology, if you believe that technology is going to continue to evolve and be what we need to keep in the future, then you want to buy when it's cheap. If you don't believe in that Bitcoin, then you definitely should not be buying. That's the thing that you want to

[15:40] understand. So we are seeing a lot of changes coming in the economy. They're probably going to continue to be changing. We'll be keeping you posted here on this channel. Again, I have my free investing masterclass for you down in the description, but the idea is you want to understand how they can

[15:53] create opportunities for you. One of the things that I've learned in life is that oftentimes the things you don't pay attention to end up mattering the most. And that's why I want to talk to you about life insurance with our sponsor policy genius, because if you don't have the assets to live off of yet,

[16:07] and something tragically happened to you, the last thing you want is now your spouse and your family trying to struggle to survive financially, and that's return life insurance can come into play. Now I'm talking about term life insurance here, not whole life insurance. The whole idea with

[16:22] term life insurance is its life insurance for a period of time, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, that way you can work to build your assets. It is a lot cheaper than whole life insurance because the whole idea is you're not here trying to get rich off of your life insurance. It's just there

[16:37] as a bridge until you can build your assets. This is one of those things where the earlier you start, the cheaper it is. Because if you're a healthy 30 year old guy, you could potentially get a half a million dollar term life insurance policy for less than a dollar a day. So if you have any questions,

[16:52] you want to learn more about term life insurance, or you want to see how much a term life insurance policy would actually cost you. I'll put a link to policy geniuses formed down in the description. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and it'll give you an actual quote on how much term life

[17:05] insurance will actually cost you, and I have that link for you down in the description. So let me summarize everything that you need to know. Kevin Worsh is a new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank appointed by President Trump. Everybody was hoping that Kevin Worsh was going to

[17:18] come in and hammer lower interest rates to significantly boost the economy and to boost markets and investors were concerned that this was going to crash the dollar which would be great for gold

[17:30] silver and Bitcoin. Well, Kevin Worsh came into office and he just gave us first speech. In his first speech, he said, I'm not going to do what Trump wanted. I'm not going to cut interest rates. We're going to keep interest rates where they are right now. And as of today, I am looking at potentially

[17:45] raising interest rates in 2026, not cutting interest rates. That came as a shock to Wall Street. The reason why it came as a shock is because everybody was expecting this lower interest rates, and that news then was a trigger for the gold silver and Bitcoin selloff. Why did it create a selloff

[18:02] for three reasons? Reason number one was because gold silver and Bitcoin are all known as the debatement trade. They're all investments against the United States dollar. And when Kevin Worsh says, I'm going to do everything I can to protect the United States dollar where you can start to see

[18:16] how they work against each other. The second reason now has to do with the opportunity cost because now when Kevin Worsh is talking about potentially raising interest rates, that means the return that you get on your money goes up. Because if you have money sitting in a savings account,

[18:32] you have money sitting in a treasury. If you have money in a high old savings account, well now you can earn four to five percent interest on your money, which means you're getting more interest while you wait versus your gold silver and Bitcoin are not paying you. So that means the cost

[18:47] of waiting just became more expensive, making the opportunity cost more expensive, and then there is no same fear trigger right now. The tariff warnings and concerns are not there anymore. The tariffs will exist, but the concerns about tariffs are not there. The conflict in the Middle East concerns

[19:04] are not there. The conflict still exists, but that same fear that people had when it first started is not there. So there's no fear trigger right now. Again, this could restart if something changes today or tomorrow, but that fear trigger, which also drove up gold silver and Bitcoin is not there

[19:21] like it was before. So these three things happened simultaneously, which then caused Bitcoin silver and gold to get hit hard. If you got value out of this video, the best thank you was a referral.

[19:33] So if you could please share this video with a friend. Then remember, colleague or fellow investor, that way we can continue to spread this type of financial education. Thank you. In this video, I'm going to show you how to build so much wealth that you never have to worry about paying your bills. You never have to worry about paying your mortgage, and you never

[19:47] have to stress about affording a vacation again. And no, you don't need rich parents, you don't need to win the lottery, you don't need a fancy degree, and you don't even need to start a business. What's the catch, Jaspreet? It will take hard work. It will take serious...
