Episode notes
Gold And Bitcoin As Neutral Reserves
- Gold and Bitcoin are becoming neutral reserve assets as long-term sovereign bonds lose real risk-free status.
- Geopolitics and FX reserve sanctions accelerated demand, making gold and Bitcoin logical reserve choices.
Century-Scale Monetary Reset Underway
- The post-1971 dollar system must unwind back to a neutral reserve asset over time.
- That reset will reprice currencies by balance of payments, weakening persistent deficit currencies like the dollar.
Central Banks Rapidly Buying Gold
- Central banks have bought about 1,000+ tonnes of gold annually since 2022, making gold the second-largest reserve asset.
- Continued buying could make gold the top reserve asset, surpassing euros and treasuries.
