Why fiat debasement is inevitable

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Florian Grummes to the show. Florian Grummes is Founder & Managing Director of Midas Touch Consulting. In this comprehensive interview, Grummes provides an in-depth analysis of the current precious metals market, focusing on gold, silver, and broader economic trends. Grummes argues that the fundamental driver of the precious metals bull market is the ongoing destruction of fiat currency’s purchasing power through continuous money printing. He believes we are in the “end game” of the current monetary system, with central banks forced to continuously expand the money supply to prevent economic collapse. This process is leading to significant inflation and eroding people’s trust in traditional currencies.

Regarding gold, Grummes sees a bullish trajectory, with potential targets ranging from $5,000 to potentially $15,000. He notes that gold has been in a secular bull market since 2001 and is now accelerating. The recent price action, including central bank buying and physical demand from countries like China, supports this optimistic outlook. He anticipates “real fireworks” in January, with a potential move towards $5,000.

Silver is even more exciting for Grummes. After breaking the critical $50 resistance level after 45 years, he believes silver could reach $72 in the short term and potentially $100 or higher in the coming years. He describes silver’s current movement as a “violent” breakout with significant upside potential.

The discussion also touched on other precious metals like platinum, which Grummes considers undervalued, and emerging trends like tokenized precious metals. He sees tokenization as a potential future for more liquid and transferable metal investments. Regarding mining stocks, Grummes believes there is still significant upside, particularly for larger producers and junior miners. He advises patience and buying during dips, noting that the best is yet to come in the sector.
