@@Moconomy When you look at Maloney, Schiff , Griffin and McLeoud you would think that this documentary was made about fifteen (15) years ago. Not saying it's NOT gonna blow, but you could make a lot of $$ in the meantime. They all admit that they don't know the timing of the collapse, it will be when nobody wants to buy US debt any longer, then the bottom falls out quick. So When ? Griffin is 92years old now and I hope he's gonna stick around for a little longer, he deserves it.
1971 - we came off the gold standard, but immediately went on the oil standard. 1971 isn't the issue, the issue is that in 2024, we're coming off the oil standard and aren't pegging our currency to anything else to replace it!
Regarding 11:22, for clarification the Federal Reserve does not print currency. Instead it is the United States Treasury department of Bureau of Engraving and Printing that prints currency known as Federal Reserve Notes. It costs only 8.6 cents to print a $100 bill and the profit made is known as "Seigniorage". The profit made is $99.91 for every $100 bill that is printed. This is because $100 (face value) - $0.086 (cost) = $99.91 (profit). Federal Reserve Notes are monetized debt.

It’s much simpler than the video presentation. Supply and demand. If something is unique, its value is greater. Flood the market with any product the value is lower. Government printing/spending trillions of dollars reduces the value of the dollar and leads to inflation. The US Federal Government is to blame for inflation. It’s a hidden tax.
I can't fold and watch people around me suffer; in these uncertain economic times, it's crucial to understand the root causes and seek solutions to save our families and friends from financial slavery.
I'm thinking that, high end assets being untransferable, should become tax wright offs, and the government should loose its assets for private equity. Bonds should be able, not only be used for investment, but acquisition as well.
And withdraw our military bases around the world. God knows we spend a trillion dollars a year on defenae. It's time we stop policing the world, and allow other countries to have their own sovereignty
Historically people experienced mass poverty & starvation back when they used gold & silver for money. I don't think that was some mysterious coincidence.
That;s because now, everything is based on debt. Because of the fractional reserve banking, most people think they have "money" but basically everyone is paid on debt owed to someone else. The money in your account is lent 10 times out to other people and businesses. It's the greatest debt bubble in history. When banks or governments start defaulting, nobody gets paid because the money owed to you, was also owed to 10 other people. That's why governments have no choice but to keep borrowing, thereby creating inflation and debasing the currency.
Fantastic. Only Richard Werner has much more to say on this topic. Watch the documentary "Princes of the Yen" pay close attention. BOJ has this manuever perfected.
This is a real economic bubble in the rise imo…. Fueled by grifting investors and less moral entrepreneurs saying “don’t hate the player, hate the game” making it short term very good for them but what’s good for a few is not good for many. Long term this will cause a situation it tension. The us national debt is out of proportion compared to many eu countries…..it gives an idea of the scale of this possible bubble
So, what does the average person do? They never said. Do we take the small amount of money we have, and buy gold? Then; if we can't trust banks; where do we keep the gold? How do we exchange gold for food? medication?
Buy precious metals, crypto, and real estate (if possible). If you’re really on a tight budget I would start with silver and work your way up to gold. I buy 1/4 oz gold coins that range from $500-600. It’s not cheap. Start buying Bitcoin, even if it’s only $100/month. I have automatic purchases setup on a weekly basis. Set and forget unless there is a major dip, then buy more. Keep the gold in a safe and don’t tell anyone about it.
@@lynb1022 You’re a fool to think I don’t have a 1+ years worth of emergency food supply, water storage, backup generators, and solar panels with an Arsenal to protect it.

A building that's is decaying and very costly to renovated will be evacuated and demolished orderly to avoid unnecessary losses and a new building put in it's place. Shouldn't we do the same thing to the global reserve currency that has lost almost all it's value. The situation now is not the same as the past financial melt down when there were no alternatives to transit to. Today there is a very strong contender Cryptocurrency to replace the collapsing Fiat system.
@roro4787Like saying don't need all the advancement in technology for better living, still want to ride the horse cart around. Gold was used as store of value and money for Thousands of years became there was nothing better up until Bitcoin came around.
The US lost its superpower status in 1971 when President Nixon suspended the convertibility of the U.S. dollar to gold, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system. The United States was financially exhausted by spending on the Space program, the Great Society program, and the Vietnam War. In 1971, it could no longer keep its Bretton Woods commitment to exchange gold and the US dollar at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce. The last time the US had a positive trade balance was in 1975. The US has basically been bankrupt since 1975. The U.S. is the world's largest debtor, with a NIIP (Net International Investment Position) of -$16 trillion. China (including Hong Kong) is the largest creditor, with a NIIP of $4.3 trillion, followed by Japan, Germany, and Taiwan. The U.S. last had a positive NIIP in 1988 and a trade surplus in 1975. The U.S. debt grows by about $5-7 billion daily, and the trade deficit averages $2-3 billion per day. The US national debt is more than $35 trillion, with 22% of it held by foreign entities. The US also has $40 trillion in unfunded Medicare liabilities and $26 trillion in unfunded Social Security liabilities. The US dollar is the dominant reserve currency, backed by its perceived strength, allowing the US to print unlimited dollars as long as the world maintains trust in it. The US dollar is the backbone of US power, and any actions that undermine confidence in the currency threaten to destabilize its position of dominance. Each unilateral sanction imposed by the US risks damaging the stability and credibility of the US dollar, leading to dire consequences for the nation's power and influence. The US is the only country actively undermining the strength of the US dollar. The freezing of Russia's $300 billion currency reserve by Western governments may lead countries to reconsider investing their funds in US Treasury bonds and finding ways to reduce their use of the US dollar. A significant portion of US dollars is held outside the US, estimated at 60-70% of all US dollars in circulation, due to its status as the dominant reserve currency and wide use in international trade and finance. The US's one trillion dollar trade deficit is a consequence of being the reserve currency, as a strong dollar makes it difficult for US businesses to export goods and services while simultaneously making it easier for other countries to sell to the US. Countries are expending resources and labor making goods and shipping them to the US in exchange for green pieces of paper. The US is sending back mostly empty containers. The US budget deficit is $1.7 trillion in 2023 which must be paid for by selling more Treasury bonds. The interest on this debt is twice our military budget. The government sells more Treasury bonds to pay the interest on its debt, leading to a cycle of increasing debt. The US printing of dollars has been exporting inflation in other countries for decades, but will eventually increase US inflation. Raising interest rates to fight inflation decreases consumer and business spending, increases the trade deficit, and increases interest payments on government debt. Other countries will respond to the US's rising interest rate by raising their interest rate, risking a global recession. The Plaza Accord addressed this issue in the past, but it will be challenging to implement such measures now. A well-run country collects taxes to fund essential services and infrastructure. In the US political system, wealthy corporations and individuals can lobby for tax breaks. The shortfall in funding for the US government has reached $35 trillion. Instead of collecting taxes from wealthy corporations and individuals, the government pays them interest. The top 10% of earners (36%) and corporations (9%) together contribute 45% of total federal revenue. Banks hold Treasury bonds for their safety, liquidity, regulatory compliance, and potential profitability. When interest rates on Treasury bonds rise sharply, the decrease in existing bond values reduces liquidity and makes it harder for banks to raise cash quickly. This causes depositors to lose confidence, triggering a bank run. In response to the current bank run, the government is issuing Treasury bonds to raise funds to compensate depositors for any lost funds. There are $19 trillion in deposits in US banks. The estimated unrealized loss on US banks' financial assets is $1.94 trillion, while the total size of their equity is $2.1 trillion. SVB had a $15 billion loss, while their capital is $16 billion. Around 2,315 of the 4,800 banks are currently on assets worth less than their liabilities. It's a systemic issue. A similar issue is being played out with risker Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) valued at $12 trillion. The new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) helps prevent discounted bondholders from taking losses when they must urgently sell them. The BTFP accepts discounted bonds at face value to be used as pledges for loans to inject more money into the economy. Risking more inflation. It's a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi scheme cannot taper. We reached the can and there is no more road.
Well the doco was released in 2012 so it's not recent, that's why digital currency wasn't discussed. It's a magazine for gold isn't it.... Bitcoin is the answer now in 2024 but I also think we need tangible assets like food and real estate etc.

Gold is a commodity and it's a natural resource that's and undetermined amount because there's lots yet to be unearthed. That's why the gold standard is no longer in use imo
Also, in an event of a catastrophe, somebody already said it, neither gold, not paper money would be of any value, as the most valuable currency is going to be everything that can produce food, as we would be back to the middle age, were agriculture, hunting and fishing were the main means of survival. That would really be the end of capitalism, or even society as we know it.
Documentary is very well made and informative, shame it didn't mention Bitcoin though. Gold is important no doubt, but if we're discussing sound monies, Bitcoin absolutely has to be in the conversation
Yeah but if a major war broke to where miners are shut down people in panic lose their password what devices would you use to pay each other with pen and paper ? Bitcoin relies on communication to a block chain if that communication is broke how do we even spend it, who would honor bitcoin for food , shelter ect. If everything transfered to bitcoin our deficit would also.just mean we are taxed even heavier . If war broke out the way to panic the people would be attack mining facilities.
gold will creash along with the fiat money, they fuckedd it all up.. gold follows the dollar to much, its also runned by a cartel that have closed their shops in the weekends
@@MrArron1357 a major war, do you really think the whole world will fight eachother....(the banks shut down everyday, and have problems every week so people cant use them online) if a war came where everyone was at war, you would need to kill for any values no matter what they are called you would probetly loose everything in your bank and so on but i doubt even in a case of war anyone would grab my solar panel runned miners (or shut down elon musk´s starlink) decides it will start up again, its not a mess like the banks.. that need months to answer when the police solves crimes, and that the police needs special people to read and understand lets see the banks staart all over, lmao.. that would be nioce for them, they could change the numbers so people owe them 10 time more then they did (insted of 3.5 times as they have done now)
Until we all realize money is totally useless, and we just need to have more community and empathy for others and be more like Star Trek. We'll never survive as long as money fiat and so on continue to be forced into existence and fed BS about how it's needed. People volunteer for crying out loud even in a money-based society.
Nobody mentions bitcoin, the perfect money. Still in its infancy at the moment. But once the mass understands its value, fiat currencies will be replaced. (Gold is good, but it's far inferior than bitcoin in so many respects, that it can be manipulated, difficult to transact, you need tools to know if its 24k or fake gold, etc)
Well I’m working on the atom formers and letting anyone join in to have it invented and soon after invented will allow us to be fully independent from currency forever,like imagine being able to 3d fabricate all your food,clothes,gadgets,energy by yourself and free form reliance itself and the freedom from spending via the end of dependence itself

Y is the electric companies increasing their price? The gas prices not stable When these big companies are behaving so greedy towards consumers and know we have no other choices, we ain't going nowhere, everybody needs electricity all the time. What's the big deal why can't the rate remain stable for at least 20 yrs.
And the best is when I hear the American economy is doing well and the inflation is much lower than in Europe… yes because USA is basically running the printing machines non stop, that’s your recipe for success, while the rest of the world is being robbed of their currency’s value as it is linked to dollar. In simple terms, USA having the global currency-dollar and printing it in mass is actually stealing the value and products/ assets/ commodities from the rest of the world that uses that dollar. It’s as simple as it can be, but it will not last forever. Just like French back in the day when they send their ships to New York for their gold ( just before Nixon basically said fuck off to the world in 1971), the world will say fuck off to the dollar, btc would be a great alternative but average Joe is to stupid to understand its value and central banks and governments are doing everything to destroy the only true money of the 21st century, maybe not, we will see
Money's become Worthless? Tell you what: If money's so worthless, go into a supermarket, pick up what you need, and try to leave without paying for it. Seems to me they want your "Worthless" money, don't they.
Absolutely they want the worthless money because they can use the worthless money to buy stuff because then it would be forced labor so worthless money bandaid your decision
Sheesh you’re clearly brainwashed. It’s just an asset that exists that removes banks from the equation. To create a trustable peer-to-peer system to pay each other digitally without middlemen. Even if the asset is questionable, why would you hate something that fights for the right to pay each other digitally without third parties? Particularly, the third parties that were the catalyst to the 2008 crash (a driving factor as to why BTC was created). Just strange.
@@bootysnatcher8069 "A trustable peer-to-peer system to pay each other"? Like money launderers, drug smugglers, human traffickers, and arms dealers? No thanks. Good luck locking yourself into your vault.

Stay calm! We're 12 years after those dark predictions! The guy who predicted a global disaster "this decade" (2011-2020) was totally wrong despite the relevance of his analysis. It's a matter of time I presume yet.
This is an older documentary, 2012. Now we have bitcoin. I'd say this is spot on with everything said, if you just replace the words "gold" with "bitcoin"
They call it a ponzi scheme the US government calls it a trade deficit
In a major worldwide catastrophy, even gold is worthless. Grains will then be the ultimate money.
Indeed
You're 1000% correct. Basically anything that is real that you can hold will be a million times more valuable than any type paper money

When interest rates on Treasury bonds rise sharply, the decrease in existing bond values reduces liquidity and makes it harder for banks to raise cash quickly. This causes depositors to lose confidence, triggering a bank run. In response to the current bank run, the government is issuing Treasury bonds to raise funds to compensate depositors for any lost funds. There are $19 trillion in deposits in US banks. The estimated unrealized loss on US banks' financial assets is $1.94 trillion, while the total size of their equity is $2.1 trillion. SVB had a $15 billion loss, while their capital is $16 billion. Around 2,315 of the 4,800 banks are currently on assets worth less than their liabilities. It's a systemic issue.
A similar issue is being played out with risker Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) valued at $12 trillion.
The new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) helps prevent discounted bondholders from taking losses when they must urgently sell them. The BTFP accepts discounted bonds at face value to be used as pledges for loans to inject more money into the economy. Risking more inflation.
It's a Ponzi scheme. Ponzi scheme cannot taper. We reached the can and there is no more road.
Skills, knowledge, or ability may be the new trade or exchange of money without coin being a commodity
The right thing to do now would be to go back on a gold standard and forgiving all nations debts and start everything new. LEAVE GREED OUT OF IT!
So, is it best to invest in gold now?
great doc thanks fo4r the information
TWO subject matters were not discussed ..
(1) THE PETRO DOLLAR.
(2) CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY
CAN ANYONE MAKE A GUESS AS TO WHY THIS WAS SO ???
Well the doco was released in 2012 so it's not recent, that's why digital currency wasn't discussed. It's a magazine for gold isn't it....
Bitcoin is the answer now in 2024 but I also think we need tangible assets like food and real estate etc.
@@lspag7415 Was wondering how old this was... It's a great doc still and agree on plan B.
Agar tumlogo ko lagta hain ki iss project me tum logo ne kaam diya hain to hum project se nikalne ka kosis karenge. Agale project ke liye please help maat karna ,i will try with my self.

Gold is a commodity and it's a natural resource that's and undetermined amount because there's lots yet to be unearthed. That's why the gold standard is no longer in use imo
😢and a deposition at the bottom of my heart my mother in Cuba without a home there is no roof shame God God me sport 😢😢
Also, in an event of a catastrophe, somebody already said it, neither gold, not paper money would be of any value, as the most valuable currency is going to be everything that can produce food, as we would be back to the middle age, were agriculture, hunting and fishing were the main means of survival. That would really be the end of capitalism, or even society as we know it.
suspicious about how governments can fake gold price. apart from that, great doc 👍👍
Documentary is very well made and informative, shame it didn't mention Bitcoin though. Gold is important no doubt, but if we're discussing sound monies, Bitcoin absolutely has to be in the conversation
Yeah but if a major war broke to where miners are shut down people in panic lose their password what devices would you use to pay each other with pen and paper ? Bitcoin relies on communication to a block chain if that communication is broke how do we even spend it, who would honor bitcoin for food , shelter ect. If everything transfered to bitcoin our deficit would also.just mean we are taxed even heavier . If war broke out the way to panic the people would be attack mining facilities.
gold will creash along with the fiat money, they fuckedd it all up.. gold follows the dollar to much, its also runned by a cartel that have closed their shops in the weekends
@@MrArron1357 a major war, do you really think the whole world will fight eachother....(the banks shut down everyday, and have problems every week so people cant use them online)
if a war came where everyone was at war, you would need to kill for any values no matter what they are called
you would probetly loose everything in your bank and so on
but i doubt even in a case of war anyone would grab my solar panel runned miners (or shut down elon musk´s starlink)
decides it will start up again, its not a mess like the banks..
that need months to answer when the police solves crimes, and that the police needs special people to read and understand
lets see the banks staart all over, lmao..
that would be nioce for them, they could change the numbers so people owe them 10 time more then they did (insted of 3.5 times as they have done now)
Bitcoin is scam because government will never want parallel economy which it can not control. So Bitcoin will exist until Government do not ban it.
@@MrArron1357 Bitcoin is just another Ponzi scheme. You don't even have to "attack mining facilities". No power, no bitcoin.
Absolutely terrifying stuff with an extremely bleak outlook for the near future...
You didn’t see the ending, their is opportunity
How do you spend gold? If you take a bar of gold to Walmart can you get groceries?
my mother taught me everything I know
Bitcoin is the future
Until we all realize money is totally useless, and we just need to have more community and empathy for others and be more like Star Trek. We'll never survive as long as money fiat and so on continue to be forced into existence and fed BS about how it's needed. People volunteer for crying out loud even in a money-based society.
Nobody mentions bitcoin, the perfect money. Still in its infancy at the moment. But once the mass understands its value, fiat currencies will be replaced. (Gold is good, but it's far inferior than bitcoin in so many respects, that it can be manipulated, difficult to transact, you need tools to know if its 24k or fake gold, etc)
great
At the end of the day what is freedom?
with out order there is no freedom
Salary money should be different from stock market buying money
Well I’m working on the atom formers and letting anyone join in to have it invented and soon after invented will allow us to be fully independent from currency forever,like imagine being able to 3d fabricate all your food,clothes,gadgets,energy by yourself and free form reliance itself and the freedom from spending via the end of dependence itself
btw its also like society in star trek, even thanks to their alien alliances and replicators, and posiabilty to amke atoms akak precursor to replicator etch
Where are you going to get the substrate? Does it grow on trees?
it a polymer and only start wth the particle emitter tech" which exist currently and just some engineering altering to configure, and the rare earth materials ill apply in next models & maybe hadron collider resdue ill get much sample of elements 113-124 & once Af made ill use the AF to unlimited amounts of ti form here on end@@lynb1022
45:45 THIS !!!
Basically saying that Bitcoin is not as worthy as Gold
If you can’t hold it, you don’t own it!
Zimbabwe is in trouble 😢
Everyone is in trouble 😢😢😢
Yet the world functions. Maybe this points to the fact that we don't need fiat currencies at all.
So your telling me the largest terrorist organization ever created has also created the largest Ponzi scheme ever. No no they only have the interests of the people at heart 😂😂😂
no. fiat money will always become worthless when you have consecutives irresponsible govts. look at argentina/brazil keep changing fiat money, economy still gg. people will know how to avoid using and keep the issued wortlesd money. the world will only ditch money when humans r free of production ie. moving to credit system.
gg ?
Money is not worthless even if you want to buy bitcoin u need money 😅
The core is rotten
0:20 why did they agree back then with this stupidity ?
US Gov did this to CUBA, Venezuela, Iran and others.
If only we had money with fixed supply, accessible globally, digitally...
Oh wait, we do. Bitcoin.
Power & wealth isn’t permanent, India & China once wealthy & powerful decimated but especially China got superpower status conversely USA & Europe ( especially colonial thugs ) has begun to crumble 😮😮😮
Y is the electric companies increasing their price? The gas prices not stable When these big companies are behaving so greedy towards consumers and know we have no other choices, we ain't going nowhere, everybody needs electricity all the time. What's the big deal why can't the rate remain stable for at least 20 yrs.
And the best is when I hear the American economy is doing well and the inflation is much lower than in Europe… yes because USA is basically running the printing machines non stop, that’s your recipe for success, while the rest of the world is being robbed of their currency’s value as it is linked to dollar. In simple terms, USA having the global currency-dollar and printing it in mass is actually stealing the value and products/ assets/ commodities from the rest of the world that uses that dollar. It’s as simple as it can be, but it will not last forever. Just like French back in the day when they send their ships to New York for their gold ( just before Nixon basically said fuck off to the world in 1971), the world will say fuck off to the dollar, btc would be a great alternative but average Joe is to stupid to understand its value and central banks and governments are doing everything to destroy the only true money of the 21st century, maybe not, we will see
So, go to banks and take your gold out, lets see whettthey can deliver
Us Dollars are an IOU being a note of debt
Money's become Worthless? Tell you what: If money's so worthless, go into a supermarket, pick up what you need, and try to leave without paying for it. Seems to me they want your "Worthless" money, don't they.
Absolutely they want the worthless money because they can use the worthless money to buy stuff because then it would be forced labor so worthless money bandaid your decision
This is not a new video, I watched it last year
I thought I might’ve seen this before!
Wake up call!
Europe did the same in mostly government owned or partially own business organization s
Why all of the sudden these btc documentaries, it seems someone has an agenda

Back to back bitcoin documentaries giving me a FOMO...! or JOMO?
Now tell me, who are you backed by Mr. Moconomy?
When you trade your crypto, dont sell it against the US dollar
I'd rather have a 1,000 pack of tasers choice instant coffee than one bitcoin
Thanks for mentioning Bitcoin!
HFSP
Sheesh you’re clearly brainwashed. It’s just an asset that exists that removes banks from the equation. To create a trustable peer-to-peer system to pay each other digitally without middlemen. Even if the asset is questionable, why would you hate something that fights for the right to pay each other digitally without third parties? Particularly, the third parties that were the catalyst to the 2008 crash (a driving factor as to why BTC was created). Just strange.
@@bootysnatcher8069 "A trustable peer-to-peer system to pay each other"? Like money launderers, drug smugglers, human traffickers, and arms dealers? No thanks. Good luck locking yourself into your vault.
Imagine when the consequences with a compound effect😂
Trash content like this video taking words out of context and fragmented interviewees is predominantly trash talking USD while NOT resolving the fundamental purchasing power persevering problem. This video and many crypto related junks just creat more chaos than offering solutions like my ex😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Buy utility coins to hedge against inflation and educate yourself about the future of finance
If so, the fake value crypto ponzi was the nail in the coffin.
Stay calm! We're 12 years after those dark predictions! The guy who predicted a global disaster "this decade" (2011-2020) was totally wrong despite the relevance of his analysis. It's a matter of time I presume yet.
Buy shib 💪🙌💷💷💷💷
It was a crime to remove Gold standard. Get ready for the downfall of the dollar!! 😂😂 Too late to fix it.
Why the San Andres sounds? lol
😭
The same ppl in this video are the same ppl who want no taxes to be collected ever and they bet big in Shiba Inu. 😐
This is an older documentary, 2012. Now we have bitcoin. I'd say this is spot on with everything said, if you just replace the words "gold" with "bitcoin"

And then you have Argentina's new president trying to make dollar the official currency 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Just buy money, soon u won’t be able

Stack your Sats and XRP folks!
BITCOIN.
"How Money Became Worthless" is what poor people say to feel better
only a poor person would say this
Digital is the new ponzi Bitcoin & a few other cryptos will solve this problem, but alot of crypto will bust.
No crypto will solve this problem.
