“Gold has become hard to control… Someone’s putting pressure on the New York and London process of keeping the gold price mellow,” says E.B. Tucker, bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now? In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Tucker suggests that—like all cartels—the system was pushed too far and couldn’t sustain itself. He argues that the gold futures market became so detached from physical gold that it lost credibility. He points out that FedCoin, a central bank digital currency, will rise to dominate the financial system, ultimately replacing traditional forms of money. Additionally, he opposes the idea of returning to the gold standard, warning it would lead to people being “wiped out.” However, Tucker recognizes gold’s critical role in the coming financial transformation.

-Gold is becoming harder to control.

-Instant success in the stock market is a thing of the past.

E.B. Tucker: Why Gold Is Breaking Free—and Why It’s Time to Own It

In a world where economic stability feels more like an illusion than a guarantee, few voices are as sharp, unapologetic, and insightful as E.B. Tucker. Bestselling author of Why Gold, Why Now? and Not for Sale, Tucker recently joined Daniela Cambone for a candid conversation on the global economy, inflation, the future of fiat currency—and why gold is the lifeline investors can’t afford to ignore.

At ITM Trading, we believe in preparing our audience for what’s ahead, not reacting to what’s already happened. For those concerned about a weakening dollar, eroding financial privacy, and the looming threat of central bank digital currencies, this conversation is a powerful wake-up call.

Gold Isn’t Spiking—It’s Being Unleashed

Tucker didn’t hesitate to get to the heart of the matter: Gold’s recent surge isn’t about hype—it’s about reality finally catching up.

“Gold has been managed for years. Not manipulated—managed—through the futures market to keep its price artificially low,” Tucker explains. “But the system went too far. Now it’s unraveling.”

That unraveling is happening as nations move to physically settle gold trades and as investors around the world wake up to the fact that fiat currencies—especially the U.S. dollar—are losing credibility.

A Global Shift: From Paper to Physical

One of the clearest takeaways from the interview is this: There’s now a nation-versus-nation scramble for actual physical gold. The paper market, Tucker says, is no longer enough.

“If you have the metal, you’re in a whole different ballgame,” he warns. “If you don’t, you just have paper.”

While many retail investors are still hesitant to buy at current levels, Tucker sees that as a mistake born from the “sweepstakes mentality”—the belief that money should multiply overnight. His advice: Stop trying to win the lottery and start thinking like a steward of wealth.

The End of the “Virtuous Circle”

Tucker also warns that the Bernanke-era concept of the “virtuous circle”—inflated stock and home prices creating a false sense of wealth—is officially over.

“The people who thrived under that system are flailing. And if you’re still waiting for them to tell you what to do, you’re going to be disappointed.”

Instead, he says, it’s time for a new mindset—one grounded in personal responsibility, long-term thinking, and tangible assets like gold.

The Rise of FedCoin and the Loss of Financial Freedom

Perhaps one of the most chilling parts of the interview was Tucker’s discussion of FedCoin—his term for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

“FedCoin is coming,” he states bluntly. “You won’t be able to opt out unless you’re living off-grid in Montana.”

He warns that while CBDCs will be marketed as convenient and secure, they represent a massive expansion of state control over individual finances. Once implemented, they could make traditional banking—and even cash—obsolete.

Why Timing the Market Is a Mistake

Tucker offered a powerful analogy for gold’s breakout: it’s like holding a beach ball underwater. Once released, it shoots upward—and then settles. But crucially, it settles at a higher level than before.

“Don’t try to time the jump. Just get in,” he urges.

That’s why Tucker recently bought 20 gold coins—not as a short-term trade, but as part of a larger allocation strategy. He emphasizes that gold isn’t about speculation; it’s about deciding what percentage of your wealth should be protected in tangible form.

A Coming Reset, But Not What You Think

While many speculate about a return to the gold standard, Tucker dismisses that notion.

“You’re not going to see a gold standard. But you will see a reset. And gold will play a crucial role.”

Instead of an orderly return to sound money, Tucker sees FedCoin and further financial repression as more likely. Yet, he insists, that’s precisely why owning gold—and understanding its role—is more important than ever.

Call to Action: It’s Time to Act

The interview closed with a powerful reminder from Daniela Cambone, aimed directly at those wondering whether they’ve missed their moment:

“Even with gold at all-time highs, now may still be one of the smartest times to add it to your portfolio.”
