In today\u2019s interview, he tells Daniela Cambone that all fiat currencies are inherently flawed and refers to the U.S. dollar as \u201cdouble-ply toilet tissue.\u201d Despite recent price increases, Kaplan believes gold is still in the \u201cfoothills\u201d of a broader bull run. \u201cWe will look back on $3,000 gold as a complete gift\u2026 the same way as we look back now on the Dow at 3,000 in the late &#8217;80s as a gift,\u201d he says. On the recent ECB&#8217;s warning about gold, Kaplan sees it as further support for the bullish case. He emphasizes that the rising demand for physical settlement\u2014not just futures contracts\u2014could create a supply squeeze and trigger a major price surge.

Together, they\u2019re acquiring Barrick Gold\u2019s 50% stake in the <strong data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"639\">Donlin Gold Project<\/strong> in Alaska for a staggering $1 billion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"925\">On a recent episode of <em data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"729\">The Daniela Cambone Show<\/em>, Kaplan sat down with <strong data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"771\">Daniela Cambone<\/strong> to unpack this historic deal\u2014and deliver a sobering warning about the <strong data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"874\">fragility of fiat currencies<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"891\">global debt<\/strong>, and the coming gold bull market.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1170\">At <strong data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"945\">ITM Trading<\/strong>, we specialize in helping Americans over 50 protect their wealth from economic instability, inflation, and government overreach. Kaplan\u2019s insights align closely with our mission\u2014and what we\u2019ve been warning about for decades.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1175\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1216\">A Once-in-a-Generation Gold Project<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1525\">Kaplan described Donlin as \u201cthe best gold development story in the world\u201d\u2014and he\u2019s not alone. RBC projects it could produce 1 million ounces of gold per year for 30 years. With over <strong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1440\">39 million ounces in proven reserves<\/strong>, plus another 6 million inferred, this mine dwarfs almost every other known deposit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1611\">But it\u2019s not just size that drew Kaplan and Paulson. It\u2019s <strong data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1610\">jurisdictional safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1863\">\u201cI\u2019ve made serious money in places like Bolivia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa,\u201d Kaplan explained. \u201cBut I concluded those days are over. If I\u2019m right about where gold is going, the tragedy would be to get the asset right\u2014but lose it to nationalization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1865\" data-end=\"2007\">That\u2019s why <strong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1886\">Alaska<\/strong>, the second-largest gold-producing state in the U.S., is so strategic. It\u2019s stable, resource-rich, and\u2014crucially\u2014secure.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2012\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2014\" data-end=\"2072\">Why Central Banks and Billionaires Are Betting on Gold<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2074\" data-end=\"2254\">Kaplan and Paulson\u2019s billion-dollar bet comes amid record <strong data-start=\"2132\" data-end=\"2160\">central bank gold buying<\/strong>, growing concerns about <strong data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2209\">currency devaluation<\/strong>, and increasingly erratic global leadership.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2256\" data-end=\"2420\">\u201cGold is becoming both precious and strategic,\u201d Kaplan said. \u201cIf gold prices rise dramatically, nations that control gold mines will try to harness that cash flow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2721\">That\u2019s why location matters more than ever. In volatile jurisdictions, governments are already <strong data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2553\">seizing control of mining assets<\/strong>, as seen in Mali and other parts of Africa. Even democratic countries may feel pressure to \u201cdo something\u201d with their domestic gold resources as fiat currencies falter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2723\" data-end=\"2906\">At ITM Trading, this validates what experts like <strong data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"2788\">David Morgan<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2793\" data-end=\"2812\">Daniela Cambone<\/strong> have long said: <strong data-start=\"2829\" data-end=\"2905\">physical gold and silver are your lifeboat when governments lose control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2908\" data-end=\"2911\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"2949\">Why Gold Is Just Getting Started<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"3106\">Kaplan believes gold is still in the <strong data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3018\">foothills of a bull market<\/strong>. While the metal recently crossed $3,000 an ounce, he argues that\u2019s just the beginning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3108\" data-end=\"3254\">\u201cIf I\u2019m right, we\u2019ll look back on $3,000 gold as a gift\u2014just like we look back on the Dow at 3,000 in the 1980s as a missed opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3256\" data-end=\"3554\">Citing his early calls in energy and metals, Kaplan sees a confluence of historical, economic, and geopolitical forces pushing gold much higher. His <strong data-start=\"3405\" data-end=\"3444\">initial target range? $3,000\u2013$5,000<\/strong>. But if the global monetary system continues to fray, he believes <strong data-start=\"3511\" data-end=\"3527\">$20,000 gold<\/strong> isn\u2019t out of the question.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"3556\" data-end=\"3559\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"3561\" data-end=\"3608\">Paper Gold vs. Physical: The Coming Squeeze<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3610\" data-end=\"3841\">Kaplan also reacted to the <strong data-start=\"3637\" data-end=\"3670\">European Central Bank\u2019s (ECB)<\/strong> recent warning that the gold market could become a threat to financial stability. Their concern? That increasing demand for physical delivery could cause a market freeze.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3843\" data-end=\"4004\">\u201cThe ECB basically made the bull case for gold,\u201d Kaplan said. \u201cIf people stop settling with paper and demand the real thing, there won\u2019t be enough to go around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4006\" data-end=\"4223\">He referenced the 1980 silver squeeze and the recent scramble to move gold between vaults in London, Switzerland, and New York as early signs of what&#8217;s coming. The takeaway? <strong data-start=\"4180\" data-end=\"4222\">If you don\u2019t hold it, you don\u2019t own it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4225\" data-end=\"4381\">At ITM Trading, we specialize in helping clients acquire <strong data-start=\"4282\" data-end=\"4310\">physical precious metals<\/strong>\u2014stored privately, securely, and outside the vulnerable digital system.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4383\" data-end=\"4386\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"4388\" data-end=\"4420\">What Does This Mean for You?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"4422\" data-end=\"4593\">If billionaire investors like Kaplan and Paulson are going all-in on gold\u2026 and if central banks are buying at record rates\u2026 and if global debt is spiraling out of control\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4595\" data-end=\"4622\">What should <em data-start=\"4607\" data-end=\"4612\">you<\/em> be doing?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4624\" data-end=\"4648\">Here\u2019s what Kaplan said:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"4650\" data-end=\"4859\">\n<p data-start=\"4652\" data-end=\"4859\">\u201cWhen John Paulson calls Donlin the best way to play gold\u2019s next big move, you need to pay attention.
