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":"What the Collapse of the Continental Currency Teaches About Gold and Inflation","slug":"what-the-collapse-of-the-continental-currency-teaches-about-gold-and-inflation","published_at":"2026-07-02T12:00:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370/what-the-collapse-of-the-continental-currency-teaches-about-gold-and-inflation","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/what-the-collapse-of-the-continental-currency-teaches-about-gold-and-inflation--72778610","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72778610/secret_war_on_cash_ep_283.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Secret War on Cash , Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos reflect on 250 years of American resilience and the financial lessons embedded in the nation’s founding. The conversation revisits the collapse of the Continental currency , the phrase “not worth a Continental,” and why the Founders later emphasized gold and silver as anchors of real value and safeguards against inflationary government overreach. Dean and Chris connect those early lessons to the modern era, where runaway inflation, insurmountable debt, and the erosion of monetary discipline once again raise serious questions about the long-term strength of the dollar and the financial foundation of the country. They argue that America’s story is not only political and military. It is also monetary. Key topics include: the collapse of the Continental currency why the Founders distrusted unchecked paper money how gold and silver supported the early American system the link between sound money and national strength modern inflation, debt, and monetary drift what financial independence means in America’s 250th year Brought to you by Swiss America.
