\u201cGold is a reminder that the U.S. government runs a dishonest money system,\u201d says Byron King, editor at Paradigm Press Group. In an interview with Daniela Cambone, King breaks down the surging global demand for gold\u2014not driven by conspiracy theories, but by a growing lack of trust in the U.S. dollar. As countries watched the West freeze Russian assets during the Ukraine conflict, many began rethinking the safety of holding dollar-denominated reserves. He also explains why, in a world where currencies are backed by promises, gold stands alone as real, independent wealth. \u201cGold is nobody else\u2019s liability.\u201d Watch now to find out why King believes now is the time to own gold.”<\/p>\n
In a world drowning in debt and teetering on the edge of economic instability, the conversation around sound money is no longer theoretical\u2014it\u2019s essential. In a powerful and timely interview with Daniela Cambone<\/strong>, defense advisor and natural resource expert Byron King<\/strong> laid bare the financial truths most media won\u2019t touch. And for those looking to preserve their wealth, his message is clear: Gold and silver are no longer optional.<\/strong><\/p>\n At ITM Trading<\/strong>, we serve those who value privacy, independence, and real financial security\u2014especially individuals 50+ who\u2019ve spent a lifetime building wealth and now seek to protect it. This conversation gets to the heart of everything we stand for.<\/p>\n Byron King opens with a provocative point: \u201cThe DNA of American money is gold and silver.\u201d<\/p>\n From the founding of the United States to the Fort Knox<\/strong> gold depository established in the 1930s, gold has been central to the concept of trust in money. But over the past century, that foundation has eroded. Byron\u2019s personal anecdote\u2014joking with Pentagon officials that America\u2019s two biggest secrets are \u201calien tech and no gold in Fort Knox\u201d\u2014hits home.<\/p>\n \u201cEven if the gold is there,\u201d Byron said, \u201chas it been leased out? Who owns it? Can we access it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n That question isn\u2019t just about Fort Knox\u2014it\u2019s about whether the fiat currency in your wallet truly holds value. Today, a 1914 $20 note once redeemable for a full ounce of gold is worth, well, not even a fraction of that. The gold coin it once matched is now valued at over $3,000.<\/p>\n What\u2019s driving the renewed global interest in gold?<\/p>\n It\u2019s not retail investors causing gold prices to soar\u2014it\u2019s central banks. Countries like China, Russia, Turkey, and India are aggressively stockpiling physical gold while reducing their reliance on the U.S. dollar. And that trend is accelerating.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are not conspiracy theorists,\u201d Byron notes. \u201cWe are conspiracy analysts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Why would central banks risk storing dollars that can be seized, devalued, or inflated away? After watching $350 billion in Russian reserves frozen, the global South is choosing sovereignty over dependency<\/strong>. That means gold.<\/p>\n While tariffs may seem like political theater, Byron explains how they are part of a broader economic reset<\/strong>\u2014a shift away from a unipolar, dollar-dominant world. Whether or not you agree with Trump\u2019s trade tactics, the reality is this:<\/p>\n \u201cThe business model where countries ship goods to the U.S., collect dollars, and buy Treasury bonds with them\u2026 is being disrupted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And when trust in the U.S. dollar weakens globally, retirees and investors at home should pay attention. Because what happens in trade policy today could hit your purchasing power tomorrow.<\/p>\n As Daniela Cambone asked, \u201cHow do we get back to sanity?\u201d<\/p>\n Byron\u2019s answer: \u201cSound money and sanity are two sides of the same coin.\u201d<\/p>\n He argues that without a return to fiscal discipline and a currency backed by real value, the current system is destined to collapse under its own weight. The U.S. government is paying $1.8 trillion annually in interest on $37 trillion of debt. That\u2019s unsustainable.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t about ideology. It\u2019s about math.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve felt overwhelmed or unsure about how to navigate this moment, you\u2019re not alone. Byron\u2019s advice is straightforward:<\/p>\n Own physical gold and silver<\/strong>: Not ETFs, not paper claims\u2014tangible, hold-in-your-hand gold.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Store it securely<\/strong>: Whether through professional vaulting or home safes, make sure your assets are protected.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Invest in real assets<\/strong>: Energy, uranium, copper, and other critical materials are the future of global trade.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u201cThis is about preserving wealth across generations,\u201d Byron said. \u201cWhen central banks buy gold by the ton, they\u2019re not buying it to trade it\u2014they\u2019re buying it to hold it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n As Daniela concluded, now is the time to act:<\/p>\n \u201cEven with gold making all-time highs, now may be one of the smartest times to add it to your portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n At ITM Trading<\/strong>, we help you do just that. We build personalized strategies to protect your wealth from inflation, volatility, and economic uncertainty.
