Vital Wealth Strategies 115 | The Dollar Is Dying… Here’s What Comes Next with David Morgan
What happens to your wealth and your freedom, when money is no longer backed by anything and every transaction can be tracked, restricted, or shut off? In this episode of the Vital Wealth Strategies Podcast, host Patrick Lonergan sits down with financial researcher and author David Morgan to unpack the real risks of fiat currency, inflation, and centralized monetary control. David shares decades of insight into how modern money is created, why inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, and how financial “stability” can mask a system built on increasing debt, manipulation, and surveillance.
Throughout the conversation, Patrick and David explore what a monetary reset could look like, the dangers of programmable money and CBDCs, and why “sound money” matters for entrepreneurs who want true long-term security. David also breaks down practical ways to reclaim monetary sovereignty, highlighting gold, silver, and land as time-tested stores of value and explains why he remains skeptical of Bitcoin as a freedom tool in today’s institutional landscape. This episode is a must-listen for business owners and high earners who want to protect their assets, think independently, and build wealth that isn’t dependent on fragile systems or compliance-driven control.
Key Takeaways
- Fiat currency systems historically collapse when trust breaks, often through inflation or debt crises
- Inflation acts like a hidden tax that steadily erodes purchasing power over time
- CBDCs and programmable money can enable surveillance and restrictions on personal spending
- Financial collapse often results in asset repricing and ownership transfer—not “wealth disappearing”
- Gold, silver, and land remain foundational tools for preserving monetary sovereignty
- Silver can be a practical, accessible hedge for everyday investors
- Bitcoin may not deliver the independence many expect due to institutional capture concerns
- True freedom includes financial resilience, critical thinking, and personal responsibility
