## Resource

The dollar is failing, inflation is theft, and the world’s superpowers are moving gold in secret. In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, we sit down with Alex Stanczyk (@alexstanczyk), a combat veteran, former gold fund manager, and Managing Director at Swan Bitcoin. Alex has guided family offices through over $1 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions, but before that, he spent a decade in the gold industry. He reveals why he abandoned the "safety" of gold for the absolute scarcity of Bitcoin and explains the terrifying math behind the 2% inflation target. We discuss: - The Secret Gold Trade: Alex shares an insider story about Russian gold moving into China in tanks to avoid detection. - The Inflation Trap: Why the "2% target" is actually a plan to steal 50% of your wealth every 35 years. - The Hamster Wheel: Why you can’t "work hard" your way out of a broken system anymore. - Escape Velocity: The specific strategy to secure your future before the dollar collapses. - Geopolitics: How the US kicking Russia off the "Monopoly board" accelerated the death of the dollar. If you feel like you're running faster just to stay in place, this episode explains exactly why—and how to get off the wheel.
