As a result, central banks around the world are rotating out of the U.S. dollar and into physical gold, driving a multi-decade structural shift in global reserve strategy. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a multi-year, multi-decade rotation out of U.S. dollar assets into gold,\u201d he states.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"364\">Watch the full video to discover how to better protect your wealth in these uncertain times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"364\">Even better \u2014 join Daniela Cambone and Michael live tomorrow (May 29, 2025) in Montreal, Canada for an exclusive conversation on \u201cBuilding Generational Wealth.\u201d Sign up for the event here: https:\/\/www.zeffy.com\/en-CA\/ticketing\/building-generational-wealth<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"364\"><strong data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"279\"><br \/>\nGold, Debt, and the Reset Already Underway: Michael Gentile\u2019s Urgent Warning<\/strong><br data-start=\"279\" data-end=\"282\" \/><em data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"364\">Featuring Michael Gentile on The Daniela Cambone Show \u2013 Presented by ITM Trading<\/em><\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"369\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"448\">Is America heading for a monetary reset\u2014or are we already living through one?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"450\" data-end=\"834\">According to respected fund manager and mining sector expert <strong data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"530\">Michael Gentile<\/strong>, the answer is clear: the reset has already begun.
