141 - Jason Cozens: Why Gold Still Matters in the Digital Age

Sound Money, Fiat Currency, Economic Inequality, Government Control, Gold, Bitcoin, Monetary Sovereignty, Inflation, Constitutional Currency, Financial Innovation, Glint.

• Timothy Allen speaks with Jason Cozens.

Jason, the CEO of Glint speaks about reintroducing gold as a viable form of money through Glint’s platform, which allows users to buy, store, and spend fractions of physical gold in real time. We explore gold’s enduring role as a store of value, its contrast with fiat currency and central bank policies, and how government control over money contributes to economic inequality. Jason explains how Glint offers a bottom-up solution that empowers individuals with sound money, likening it to Bitcoin but grounded in a tangible asset. They also discuss constitutional provisions for gold currency in the U.S., recent legislative efforts in several states, and the broader push to reclaim monetary freedom through trust, protection, and tax reform.

Enjoy the conversation.
