Middelkoop & Piepenburg: The Great Bluff in Finance

"Cheat to Keep the Game Going” — Cowardice or Necessity? Why Gravity Always Wins

VON GREYERZ AG partner Matthew Piepenburg joins Willem Middelkoop, founder of the Commodity Discovery Fund and best-selling author of The Big Reset: War on Gold & the Financial Endgame, in a frank discussion of the broken financial system fueling an openly accelerating gold and silver market.

Raised in foster care as the son of a Swiss physicist, Middelkoop’s early independence shaped his lifelong habit of questioning consensus — a trait that later made him a respected author, fund manager, and advisor to Europe’s OMFIF policy forum. Speaking as the lone sound-money voice among central bankers and academics, Middelkoop challenges the intellectual cowardice behind Western monetary policy and its willful blindness toward precious metals.

Together, Piepenburg and Middelkoop dissect the mounting distrust in fiat currencies, the rise of gold and silver as truth signals, and the troubling shift from global cooperation to confrontation — hallmarks of a financial system in its “beginning of the end.”
