Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems \"suspicious\" or \"unusual.\" The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become \"cashless\" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T08:20:22.976464+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370"},"episode":{"title":"De-Dollarization Is Still Fueling Gold","slug":"de-dollarization-is-still-fueling-gold","published_at":"2026-06-02T19:02:48+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370/de-dollarization-is-still-fueling-gold","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/de-dollarization-is-still-fueling-gold--72303200","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72303200/secret_war_on_cash_ep_276_a.mp3","summary":"Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine why the weak U.S. dollar and ongoing de-dollarization trend may continue pushing gold prices higher. The conversation looks at the two main narratives around the dollar, one viewing weakness as potentially helpful for foreign investment, and the other emphasizing the deeper problem of countries dumping Treasuries, reducing dollar reserves, and losing confidence in dollar assets over time. The episode also focuses on why some fund managers and analysts see the current gold range not as a breakdown, but as a strong floor near $4,500 that may precede another major upward move. Dean and Chris connect that outlook to inflation, policy volatility, central-bank demand, Asian buying, higher mining costs, and the broader appeal of physical metals as both a hedge and a strategic asset. Key topics include: weak dollar dynamics and de-dollarization why gold appears strongly supported near current levels the case for gold above $6,000 inflation, mine costs, and central-bank buying policy volatility and weakening trust in dollar assets why physical gold remains a long-term diversification tool Brought to you by Swiss America.
