Global Shift Accelerates (Uncut) 04-22-2025

Gold Replaces Dollar as DXY Crashes and Global Shift Accelerates

The dollar isn’t just weakening, it’s collapsing, and few are prepared for the massive shift that’s ahead. See, historically, escalating geopolitical tensions, be it trade wars, tariffs, or financial instability, drive investors toward U.S. assets for safety. But this time, something is different.

They’re rushing out. Foreign governments are offloading treasuries. The dollar continues to fall.

And meanwhile, gold keeps reaching all-time highs, all warning signs. But central banks, they already understand this, and they are quietly preparing behind closed doors for something they haven’t had to face in 80 years, a world without the dollar at its center. See, the real crisis, it’s not about inflation or volatility.

It’s about the slow-motion collapse of the system that made the United States the center of global power. Once America’s greatest strength, the dollar, is now its greatest risk. Because the collapse of the dollar isn’t a sudden, single event.

It’s a process, a global shift that’s been decades in the making. But now, as we near the end of this currency lifecycle, we all can feel this process accelerating. So what happens when the dollar loses its position of power? How are central banks around the world already preparing for this? And most importantly, how can you use this knowledge to protect yourself before it’s too late? Let’s get into it.

Over the last few weeks, the dollar index, or a measure of the dollar strength compared to a basket of other major foreign currencies, has dropped significantly, down 9% since the start of the year and almost 4% just since April 2nd. This is the dollar’s worst stretch in over 20 years, a clear signal of waning global demand. Not to be confused with a decline in domestic purchasing power, which don’t worry, we’ll talk about that.

But this is absolutely a flashing red warning sign for the dollar and the United States. Because the dollar isn’t just another currency, it’s the foundation of the global financial system. So when confidence in the dollar breaks, everything that’s been built on top of it starts to fall.

And for the last 80 years, the dollar has been the global reserve currency, essentially forcing other countries to settle trade in dollars, hold dollars, and use U.S. Western-led financial systems, whether they liked it or not. But today, that system is breaking as nations are moving fast to escape dollar dominance. BRICS, led by China and Russia, are creating alternate trade options spurred on by tariffs and sanctions, calling for a multipolar world order where the dollar is not at the center.

But before I continue, I know someone out there watching is going to say, wait a second, Taylor, these countries, they use dollars, they hold U.S. treasuries. Why would they want the U.S. dollar to fail? That doesn’t make any sense. It only hurts themselves, which is partially true today.

But if you’re another country who feels as though the U.S. has treated you poorly, be it through tariffs, sanctions, or just not having a seat at the table, wouldn’t you be motivated to find an alternative? Even if you still are stuck in the system today, you would be doing everything in your power to find a new path forward, which is what these countries are doing. And if you saw that this is the direction the world was headed, you wouldn’t want to be the last one holding, right? No, you would be looking for an alternative. Enter gold.

Gold is not new, but over the last decade, central banks have bought over a billion ounces, we’re talking trillions of dollars worth of gold, not because it’s a safe haven asset, but because they understand the future monetary system that we’re heading into, one where trust in fiat currency, specifically the dollar, is broken and a new monetary system will be put in place. This is why gold is suddenly in the news, in the White House, calls to audit Fort Knox, increased demand for delivery, all of these little pieces that are coming together. It’s because the spotlight is back on gold as the world understands that there will be a new system.

And as part of that, a revaluation, whether officially or unofficially with gold at the center, the price of the precious yellow metal on the rise, it’s all time high. So are we seeing a modern day gold rush? But this shift away from dollars into gold isn’t just a theory. We can see it playing out right now in the treasury market over the last two weeks with yields rising, something you never would expect to see during a time of economic uncertainty.

But treasuries are no longer considered safe assets, especially during these times of uncertainty. People are flocking to gold. But unfortunately, this is only the beginning, with most predicting that things are going to get a whole lot worse, which is bad news for anyone out there who has savings or dollar denominated assets, because anytime the government overspends, which I don’t have to tell you is quite frequently, the treasury issues bonds to cover the gap of the overspending.

Now, historically, high demand for these bonds is what’s kept interest rates on the U.S. debt low. But now as demand tanks, the U.S. will be forced to offer higher yields to attract new investors, further exacerbating the debt burden, a debt burden which, as we know, is already costing us over one trillion dollars annually just for interest on the debt. This is the vicious cycle.

This is the debt spiral. What you can tell to someone the next time they come to you and say, oh, the debt doesn’t matter, explain to them why this time it does, why we finally have hit unsustainable. Less demand for the debt equals higher rates.

Higher rates equals more debt. What do we do when we have more debt? More debt equals more bonds issued. More bonds issued flooding the market equals you need to have higher rates.

And so the cycle goes around and around until eventually there is nothing left to do. So what does the U.S. do? Well, the Fed, the lender of last resort, would eventually be forced to step in and buy these bonds themselves, which, of course, means firing up the old printing press and creating money out of thin air, which, as we all know, will lead to more inflation, inflation that will destroy global confidence even further. But make no mistake, this is not just a concern for our government.

This is not just a concern for central banks. This impacts every single one of us, anyone living in the United States, anyone holding dollar denominated assets, savings, you name it. It’s all going to be impacted, especially as the little bit of remaining confidence continues to be chipped away at.

There won’t be anything left. The dollar today has three cents left of its original value, meaning we’ve lost 97 percent of our purchasing power since the Federal Reserve was created. And in the last five years, we’ve lost 25 percent of what was left.

But this isn’t slowing down. The damage is only accelerating. In fact, this fiscal year, this year, we have the most debt on record, second only to 2021 during the pandemic at one point three trillion dollars.

And interest payments that I mentioned earlier are the highest on record. You’ve heard the story about the frog in the boiling water. Drop a frog into a pot of hot water and it jumps out right away.

It knows there’s danger. But if you put a frog in a pot of cool water and slowly turn up the heat, well, then the frog won’t realize what’s happening until it’s too late. The American people are the frog and the heat rising is the collapse of the dollar, your wealth at risk.

Now, you can choose to ignore these warning signs, but do not say you weren’t warned. The good news here, though, is that the frog always had a choice. You can still escape the system.

You can still protect your wealth outside of the failing dollar, but you have to act before it’s too late. Now, I talk about physical gold as the answer to this all the time. And yes, ITM, we sell physical gold and silver.

We believe in precious metals. But there is a reason that I believe in gold, and it’s because it cannot be inflated away. It has a finite value.

It is real. It is tangible. It is not just another number on a screen.

It is something that you personally hold. It is a way to protect your wealth, and it’s a way people have been protecting their wealth since the dawn of time. When confidence collapses, and we’re in a full-blown crisis of confidence right now, what would you rather hold? What would you rather have your generational wealth stored in? In the dollar, which has already lost 97% of its purchasing power and decreasing as you watch this video, or physical gold, something with real, true value? I know what I would pick every single time because I can feel it.

You can feel it. The shift is happening. It’s accelerating.

Even the media, who normally avoids this topic because they don’t want to cause panic, is finally admitting there’s a serious problem here in the United States. But there is no reason to panic if you have a plan in place, which is why you do not have to let the water boil. You can have a plan in place today.
