Welcome back to the channel. In the last

0:02

video, I discussed the type of mindset

0:06

necessary to navigate a monetary reset.

0:10

And after that, I received a lot of

0:12

practical questions regarding which

0:15

assets would actually hold up and which

0:19

ones would really survive as the system

0:22

evolves. So that's exactly what I want

0:25

to talk about and cover today because

0:29

there's a lot of misinformation out

0:31

there and some of it isn't just wrong

0:36

but it can be very dangerous if you take

0:38

it at face value without any context. So

0:41

you have to be very careful with the

0:44

information that is being produced and

0:47

pushed out online. So firstly, you need

0:51

to understand that monetary resets are

0:53

not theoretical. If you look at history,

0:56

you'll see that they have happened

0:58

countless times in the past. So that's

1:01

why it's extremely critical to really

1:04

understand ahead of time which assets

1:09

have historically carried value through

1:12

these transitions and which ones will

1:15

likely hold their value and even

1:18

appreciate in value with a high degree

1:20

of certainty as the system shifts and as

1:25

we finally enter a new updated financial

1:28

system. Because the truth is we are

1:30

currently living through a reset. It

1:32

just hasn't fully manifested yet and you

1:35

want to be positioned before it fully

1:37

happens. Now the reality is most people

1:41

won't recognize a major reset or a

1:45

wealth transfer while it's actually

1:47

happening. They'll only see it clearly

1:49

in hindsight after the opportunity has

1:53

already passed and after it's already

1:55

occurred. And that's simply because

1:59

people and the masses are conditioned to

2:03

really expect a single defining moment,

2:06

some dramatic headline or a crisis

2:09

announcement or something like that. But

2:13

that's rarely how these systemic changes

2:16

actually unfold in the real world. Okay.

2:19

The reality is the biggest wealth

2:22

transfers and monetary shifts tend to

2:25

develop gradually slowly over the years

2:29

before we actually get to that defining

2:31

moment. And these shifts are largely

2:34

driven by policy decisions, changing

2:37

incentives, and some other topics that I

2:40

can't talk about in this video at the

2:42

moment. But um by the time it becomes

2:46

obvious to the public the repricing okay

2:50

of the money assets repricing of the

2:54

value has already occurred by then and

2:57

smart money or the people that actually

3:00

see what's coming they are already

3:03

positioned before these changes take

3:05

place. So what this means more than

3:07

anything for regular investors is that

3:10

investing during a transition like this

3:13

or during a monetary reset is no longer

3:16

just about chasing returns. It becomes

3:20

more about preservation and survival. So

3:24

the core principle here is pretty

3:26

simple. You basically want to own assets

3:30

that will either appreciate in value or

3:33

at the very least carry their value

3:36

forward as the system transitions from

3:39

the old framework to the new one. And

3:42

that's it in simple terms. Now, here's a

3:46

very practical way to think about it.

3:49

Okay, I categorize this into three

3:53

categories. Okay. The first is you have

3:56

your

3:58

focus on growth. So you want to

4:03

outperform

4:04

currency debasement. Your goal is to

4:07

build wealth through this transition.

4:11

That's the first approach. You're

4:12

focused on growth, building wealth,

4:15

making money, and outperforming currency

4:17

debasement. The second approach is you

4:21

can focus almost entirely on just

4:24

preservation. Your priority is basically

4:27

being defensive and protecting what you

4:30

already have and preserving your capital

4:32

and protecting your wealth. The third

4:36

option is a balanced approach. It's

4:39

where the goal is to maintain resilience

4:42

and preserve your wealth, like the first

4:45

category, while still balancing that

4:48

with a portion of your portfolio that is

4:51

focused on growth and capturing upside

4:57

and opportunities in an intelligent

4:59

fashion. Now, with that said, the assets

5:04

you select to include in your portfolio

5:07

should entirely depend on your

5:11

short-term goals, your long-term goals,

5:13

your financial goals, your financial

5:15

situation, and your risk tolerance. And

5:18

we'll get exactly into the assets that

5:22

hold up through a monetary reset. I have

5:24

a list of them and there are some that

5:27

I'm not going to talk about in this

5:28

video, but they will be covered in

5:30

another video. But if you want a deeper

5:32

datadriven perspective on the topics I

5:34

discuss, I share my full analysis on

5:37

financial markets, crypto, the macro

5:40

shifts taking place, along with my

5:43

long-term thesis on this transition, all

5:47

within my weekly newsletter and my

5:49

financial market intelligence group. And

5:52

if you're interested, you'll find the

5:54

link in the description below. Now, here

5:58

are the different assets that we need to

6:01

cover because there are a lot of

6:03

different asset classes out there. There

6:06

are so many different assets to pick

6:08

from, but we'll start with the one with

6:10

the longest history. We'll start with

6:12

gold. Now it's important to understand

6:15

that gold is not necessarily something

6:19

that you own to generate wealth. Okay?

6:23

Not in the traditional sense. Its

6:25

primary role is protection and wealth

6:28

preservation and that's how I look at it

6:31

as monetary insurance. Now it preserves

6:35

purchasing power across transitions and

6:38

it exists outside the liabilities of the

6:41

financial system.

6:43

It's outlasted empires,

6:46

outlasted currencies and previous resets

6:50

if we look at history. So it is not

6:53

dependent on any financial institution,

6:56

network or promise and it cannot be

6:59

printed. It cannot be diluted or

7:02

restructured by policy decisions. It's

7:05

almost untouch untouchable. So when

7:09

finance becomes increasingly digital,

7:12

gold's role doesn't just disappear

7:15

overnight and it does not become

7:17

obsolete as a lot of people think it is

7:19

or think it will. It actually will

7:22

evolve and become an anchor of

7:25

confidence beneath an evolving monetary

7:29

infrastructure.

7:30

And that's where digital assets come in

7:33

later. Now, this is simply because gold

7:35

has over 5,000 years of monetary history

7:38

and trust. You can't just get that

7:40

overnight. So, that's why central banks

7:43

have been net buyers of gold since 2009

7:48

and for over a decade now. And that's

7:50

also why they reclassified it to a tier

7:54

one asset. And that's why gold keeps

7:58

reappearing at every major monetary

8:01

turning point in history. So basically

8:05

gold is the asset that you hold not to

8:09

create wealth or get ahead but to make

8:13

sure that you don't fall behind when the

8:15

system changes because gold has

8:18

outlasted and carried its value

8:20

throughout all resets. Now, if you're

8:23

looking for a secure way to gain

8:27

exposure to crypto, precious metals,

8:30

whether that's buying, selling, trading,

8:34

or even rolling over a 401k into crypto

8:38

with potential tax advantages. One

8:41

platform that I often point to and I

8:44

also use is iTrust Capital. Now what

8:47

many don't know about iTrust Capital is

8:50

that if you decide to buy gold and

8:53

silver through them, they are actually

8:55

fully allocated physical metals. And

8:58

most people don't know this. So what

9:00

that means is the metals are held

9:02

through reputable partners which you can

9:05

then request for delivery if you choose

9:08

to. Now if you're interested, I did put

9:10

the link in the description and you can

9:12

find that below. Now on the other side

9:16

of the spectrum of asset classes, we

9:19

have digital assets and pretty much the

9:23

broader crypto ecosystem. Now, here's

9:27

the key here. While most people remain

9:30

focused on the short-term price

9:33

movements, the day-to-day price action

9:36

and volatility, something bigger is

9:39

actually happening in the background as

9:41

it relates to blockchain technology and

9:45

digital assets. What we're witnessing

9:48

right now is the construction

9:52

of pretty much a fully digitized

9:54

financial architecture. And this has

9:57

been in the works for quite some time

9:59

and it's already being built now. What

10:02

that means is tokenization of assets,

10:06

digital settlement layers, programmable

10:09

money, and even global liquidity

10:12

networks are all developing

10:14

simultaneously right now. And over time,

10:20

nearly all forms of value will

10:23

eventually be represented digitally in

10:26

some form. And that essentially means

10:30

that all forms of value from financial

10:33

assets, commodities,

10:36

property rights, identity, money, and

10:40

even financial and debt instruments will

10:44

eventually all be tokenized on the

10:46

blockchain. Now the key here is that

10:50

that creates one of the largest wealth

10:54

creation opportunities of our lifetime.

10:58

And just like every previous disruptive

11:02

technological revolution throughout

11:03

history has created so many

11:06

opportunities during the transition and

11:09

this is no different. But this also

11:13

requires a lot of discernment because

11:15

not all cryptos and digital assets are

11:18

equal. Many are scams, pump and dumps,

11:22

and just purely speculative investments

11:26

with no use cases, and most of them

11:28

won't even be around in the future.

11:30

However,

11:32

there are a limited number of them that

11:35

are specifically designed to serve

11:38

foundational roles in the next financial

11:41

system. And that's where the real

11:44

advantage is. It's understanding and

11:47

being able to identify which networks

11:51

are deeply undervalued relative to the

11:55

roles that they are designed to fulfill

11:58

and play in the next monetary era. So

12:02

what does that mean? That means focusing

12:05

on assets with genuine utility, strong

12:10

fundamentals and economic moat,

12:13

scalability,

12:15

long-term relevance, and basically

12:18

systems that are being built to solve

12:21

real structural problems within the

12:23

emerging financial architecture. Now the

12:27

ones positioned to capture a

12:30

disproportionate share of value as the

12:33

system evolves will be the ones that

12:35

have all those criteria utility

12:38

long-term growth potential fundamentals

12:41

use cases tackling existing problems in

12:44

the multi-t trillion dollars. Now these

12:47

are infrastructures, okay? So they're

12:49

not hyped driven tokens and the truth is

12:52

they're not investments that are just

12:54

going to disappear tomorrow. Because as

12:56

tokenization expands across global

12:59

markets, a lot of that value will

13:01

increasingly concentrate into the

13:03

networks that actually move and secure

13:06

that value that are specifically

13:08

designed to serve critical roles in the

13:12

next financial system, in the next

13:14

monetary era. And we have the

13:16

opportunity right now to capitalize on

13:19

that. The opportunity basically lies in

13:22

identifying those infrastructure level

13:25

assets

13:27

early while they're still misunderstood

13:30

and undervalued before they appreciate

13:34

in value. And that's the key. Now

13:36

contrast all of this with cash. Now cash

13:40

still plays an important role. And the

13:44

truth is it's important to not

13:45

misunderstand that as many people do. In

13:49

the current system that we live in,

13:51

liquidity still matters. You need cash.

13:54

You need fiat for everyday transactions,

13:57

for paying bills, covering regular

14:00

necessities,

14:02

taking advantage of short-term

14:04

opportunities,

14:05

and even investing. Okay? and also

14:10

maintaining a basic safety buffer for

14:14

unexpected situations.

14:16

So the truth is for as long as the

14:20

existing financial system continues to

14:22

operate in its current form, cash

14:26

remains the primary medium through which

14:29

economic activity flows for transaction,

14:33

transacting, investing. And when you

14:36

think about it in that sense, it still

14:38

serves a clear and practical purpose. So

14:42

I know many people say, "Get rid of all

14:44

your cash. That's stupid. Don't do

14:45

that." But where cash becomes vulnerable

14:49

is when you look at it as a long-term

14:52

store of value because it's not. It

14:55

loses purchasing power every day. And in

14:58

a debt-based system that strictly

15:01

depends on continuous credit expansion

15:04

and the money supply keeps growing at an

15:09

exponential rate in order to keep the

15:12

system functioning and that expansion

15:15

inevitably destroys your purchasing

15:18

power which is your fiat currency and

15:20

your cash over time. So that's simply

15:24

how the structure of the modern monetary

15:26

system works. So cash is good to have

15:29

for specific reasons but not as a store

15:31

of value. And as the world gradually

15:33

moves toward a more digitized form of

15:37

currency and settlement, of course cash

15:40

won't need to be confiscated to become

15:43

less relevant. Okay? Logically, it will

15:47

simply lose its effectiveness

15:50

slowly over time and fade away as the

15:54

system evolves. And currently we're not

15:57

there yet, but I would not use it as a

16:00

store of value. So the key distinction

16:02

is this. Cash is extremely useful for

16:06

liquidity

16:07

and short-term flexibility, but

16:10

historically it's been one of the least

16:14

resilient places to park wealth over

16:17

long periods during times of sustained

16:20

currency debasement or systemic

16:23

transitions, which is currently what

16:25

we're living through.

16:27

So after that, we have companies,

16:31

equities or stocks. Okay, this is where

16:35

ownership in real businesses become

16:38

extremely important. I know a lot of

16:40

people say stay away from stocks. That's

16:42

also stupid. Don't listen to them. Even

16:44

though equities exist inside the

16:47

financial system and they are still

16:50

priced in fiat currency,

16:52

stocks are different because they

16:54

represent something fundamentally

16:56

different from money itself. They

16:58

represent ownership in productive

17:02

companies, in productive enterprises

17:05

that actually create real goods, real

17:08

services and cash flow. And owning a

17:12

stock is owning a piece of that. So

17:14

during a monetary reset, while the

17:16

currency used to measure value can be

17:19

debased, restructured or even replaced

17:23

completely, strong businesses and

17:26

companies don't simply vanish overnight

17:29

or disappear because the unit of account

17:33

changes. It doesn't work like that. The

17:35

businesses, they keep operating. They

17:38

continue to operate generating earnings,

17:41

revenue, and holding real productive

17:44

capacity. Now, that's why throughout

17:47

history, ownership in quality companies

17:51

has often carried value forward during

17:55

inflationary periods and even currency

17:58

resets. And not because, you know, the

18:03

business suddenly became more valuable

18:05

overnight.

18:07

That's not why, but simply because the

18:10

currency used to price them was losing

18:14

purchasing power. And that's exactly

18:16

what we're seeing in the stock market,

18:19

hitting new all-time highs

18:22

during this transition taking place.

18:24

Okay. So what typically happens is not

18:28

that the stocks lose relevance but that

18:31

their nominal value can change

18:35

dramatically

18:36

as the currency weakens or as it becomes

18:39

redefined into a new system. And

18:43

actually if we look at history in many

18:45

historical cases stocks or equities

18:48

ownership in a company actually rose

18:50

sharply in nominal terms during very

18:54

inflationary transitions. Not

18:57

necessarily because the business

18:58

suddenly became more valuable but simply

19:02

because the currency was significantly

19:05

being destroyed. And that's the currency

19:08

that we measure

19:10

these stocks in the fiat currency. So in

19:14

other words,

19:16

stocks can act as a practical shield

19:19

against currency debasement because they

19:22

represent claims on real assets and

19:26

future productivity. Okay? Not fixed

19:28

promises denominated in currency.

19:32

Although it's also important to remember

19:34

that not all companies are equal in this

19:38

type of environment. That's why some are

19:41

going to survive the reset and some will

19:45

not only survive but actually thrive and

19:47

then many of them will go bust

19:49

completely. Now we have land and

19:51

properties. Now this has its own

19:55

category that's very enduring.

19:58

Property if we study history has

20:01

intrinsic utility and has carried over

20:03

its value into new systems productive

20:06

land physical space um property. Now

20:10

this gives real estate long-term

20:13

resilience. Now although it also comes

20:16

with its own limitations which is a

20:18

whole other subject. it's immobile,

20:21

subject to taxation, um less liquid

20:24

depending on um the size of the

20:28

property. But nevertheless,

20:30

historically, land and property have

20:33

consistently retained re relevance

20:37

across resets not because they are

20:40

optimized financial assets, but simply

20:43

because they provide something very

20:46

essential, and that's space. So when you

20:49

step back and look at the big picture,

20:53

one thing becomes clear. There is no

20:57

single perfect asset during a monetary

21:00

reset. Although some will clearly

21:02

perform better than others. That's a

21:04

given. But there's no perfect one

21:08

because these periods are just simply

21:11

too complex and uncertain for any one

21:16

investment to provide full protection on

21:19

its own. And that's why you really have

21:21

to assess what your situation is and

21:23

what your goal is. And what really

21:26

matters is basically aligning the assets

21:29

that you hold with your goals. because

21:32

each asset serves a different purpose

21:36

and plays a different role during these

21:39

periods. Now, real resilience comes from

21:43

understanding those roles, not expecting

21:46

one asset to do everything. And that's

21:49

all I got for you today. If you like

21:51

this video, give me a like. If not,

21:53

don't worry about it. I'll see you guys

21:55

in the next one.
