Gold Could Double As Faith in Funny Money Fades

Let me tell you something that’s not gonna make you feel better—but it will help you understand what’s coming. Gold is gearing up for a massive run. And not because it’s suddenly become more “trendy”—it’s because the global financial system is rotting from the inside out.

Thorsten Polleit, a man I’ve followed for years and one of the few economists who doesn’t spew central bank propaganda, just laid it out in plain terms. In a recent interview, he said we could easily see the price of gold double over the next 5 to 10 years. That’s not just some wild prediction—it’s basic math when you understand how far gone fiat money really is.

People Are Losing Faith in Paper

Right now, folks all over the world are waking up to the fact that their paper money buys less and less every year. That’s not just an American problem. Inflation in the U.S. may be sitting at 3.1%, according to the latest CPI report, but that number is a sanitized version of reality. You and I both know the real costs—groceries, gas, insurance—are through the roof.

What’s happening? Simply put: the value of paper money is dying.

Polleit explains it like this: we're seeing a "desperate attempt" from investors to grab hold of real assets. Gold is now hitting record highs—not just in U.S. dollars, but in the Japanese yen, the British pound, the euro, the Canadian dollar, and the Swiss franc.

Let me say that again: gold is exploding globally.

That’s not a fluke. It’s a sign.

Debt Is the Root Rot of the System

Governments everywhere are drunk on debt. And the party isn’t slowing down—it’s speeding up. In the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe… it’s the same story. Record debt levels. And here’s the kicker: central banks can’t raise interest rates to combat inflation anymore because doing so would make their debt payments unmanageable.

So what’s the solution for these elites? Financial repression.

It’s a fancy term for theft. Here’s how it works: they artificially suppress interest rates, keep inflation cooking in the background, and slowly chip away at the value of your savings. It’s like leaving your cash out in the rain—every day it sits there, it loses a bit more.

And guess who ends up paying for it? You. Me. The middle class.

The Fed Is Trapped

The Federal Reserve is stuck. Rates are still high, but everyone knows they’ll have to start cutting soon. The bond market already smells it—there’s talk of a 25-basis-point cut next month and possibly more by the end of the year.

But here’s the trick: even with all this talk of easing, 10-year yields are staying stubbornly high. That’s because smart investors want compensation for the risk of holding government debt in this environment. They're not buying the “soft landing” fantasy.

Polleit warns that if the Fed can’t get long-term yields down, they’ll likely start buying bonds again—which means more money printing and more fuel for gold.

As he puts it: “Once yields come down, you’ll see a further appreciation of the gold price.”

And folks, we’re not just talking about a little bump here. We’re talking about a structural, long-term breakout. Polleit is now expecting gold to double in price within 5 to 10 years.

You Don’t Have 5 to 10 Years to Wait

Let me be blunt: if you’re sitting on a pile of dollars in your bank account hoping things will go back to normal—you’re playing a dangerous game. This isn’t just a market cycle. It’s a monetary regime shift.

I grew up in a working-class home. We didn’t have a trust fund to fall back on. Every dollar we earned had to stretch, and we had to think two steps ahead to survive inflation in the '70s. This new wave we’re in? It’s worse—and more deceptive—because it’s hidden behind digital screens and manipulated statistics.

This is why I scream from the rooftops: get yourself into gold and silver while you still can.

Because when the dam finally breaks—and it will—you’ll want to be holding something real, not a promise from a bankrupt government.
