These Assets Will Survive a Currency Reset
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Welcome back to the channel. In the last
video, I discussed the type of mindset
necessary to navigate a monetary reset.
And after that, I received a lot of
practical questions regarding which
assets would actually hold up and which
ones would really survive as the system
evolves. So that's exactly what I want
to talk about and cover today because
there's a lot of misinformation out
there and some of it isn't just wrong
but it can be very dangerous if you take
it at face value without any context. So
you have to be very careful with the
information that is being produced and
pushed out online. So firstly, you need
to understand that monetary resets are
not theoretical. If you look at history,
you'll see that they have happened
countless times in the past. So that's
why it's extremely critical to really
understand ahead of time which assets
have historically carried value through
these transitions and which ones will
likely hold their value and even
appreciate in value with a high degree
of certainty as the system shifts and as
we finally enter a new updated financial
system. Because the truth is we are
currently living through a reset. It
just hasn't fully manifested yet and you
want to be positioned before it fully
happens. Now the reality is most people
won't recognize a major reset or a
wealth transfer while it's actually
happening. They'll only see it clearly
in hindsight after the opportunity has
already passed and after it's already
occurred. And that's simply because
people and the masses are conditioned to
really expect a single defining moment,
some dramatic headline or a crisis
announcement or something like that. But
that's rarely how these systemic changes
actually unfold in the real world. Okay.
The reality is the biggest wealth
transfers and monetary shifts tend to
develop gradually slowly over the years
before we actually get to that defining
moment. And these shifts are largely
driven by policy decisions, changing
incentives, and some other topics that I
can't talk about in this video at the
moment. But um by the time it becomes
obvious to the public the repricing okay
of the money assets repricing of the
value has already occurred by then and
smart money or the people that actually
see what's coming they are already
positioned before these changes take
place. So what this means more than
anything for regular investors is that
investing during a transition like this
or during a monetary reset is no longer
just about chasing returns. It becomes
more about preservation and survival. So
the core principle here is pretty
simple. You basically want to own assets
that will either appreciate in value or
at the very least carry their value
forward as the system transitions from
the old framework to the new one. And
that's it in simple terms. Now, here's a
very practical way to think about it.
Okay, I categorize this into three
categories. Okay. The first is you have
your
focus on growth. So you want to
outperform
currency debasement. Your goal is to
build wealth through this transition.
That's the first approach. You're
focused on growth, building wealth,
making money, and outperforming currency
debasement. The second approach is you
can focus almost entirely on just
preservation. Your priority is basically
being defensive and protecting what you
already have and preserving your capital
and protecting your wealth. The third
option is a balanced approach. It's
where the goal is to maintain resilience
and preserve your wealth, like the first
category, while still balancing that
with a portion of your portfolio that is
focused on growth and capturing upside
and opportunities in an intelligent
fashion. Now, with that said, the assets
you select to include in your portfolio
should entirely depend on your
short-term goals, your long-term goals,
your financial goals, your financial
situation, and your risk tolerance. And
we'll get exactly into the assets that
hold up through a monetary reset. I have
a list of them and there are some that
I'm not going to talk about in this
video, but they will be covered in
another video. But if you want a deeper
datadriven perspective on the topics I
discuss, I share my full analysis on
financial markets, crypto, the macro
shifts taking place, along with my
long-term thesis on this transition, all
within my weekly newsletter and my
financial market intelligence group. And
if you're interested, you'll find the
link in the description below. Now, here
are the different assets that we need to
cover because there are a lot of
different asset classes out there. There
are so many different assets to pick
from, but we'll start with the one with
the longest history. We'll start with
gold. Now it's important to understand
that gold is not necessarily something
that you own to generate wealth. Okay?
Not in the traditional sense. Its
primary role is protection and wealth
preservation and that's how I look at it
as monetary insurance. Now it preserves
purchasing power across transitions and
it exists outside the liabilities of the
financial system.
It's outlasted empires,
outlasted currencies and previous resets
if we look at history. So it is not
dependent on any financial institution,
network or promise and it cannot be
printed. It cannot be diluted or
restructured by policy decisions. It's
almost untouch untouchable. So when
finance becomes increasingly digital,
gold's role doesn't just disappear
overnight and it does not become
obsolete as a lot of people think it is
or think it will. It actually will
evolve and become an anchor of
confidence beneath an evolving monetary
infrastructure.
And that's where digital assets come in
later. Now, this is simply because gold
has over 5,000 years of monetary history
and trust. You can't just get that
overnight. So, that's why central banks
have been net buyers of gold since 2009
and for over a decade now. And that's
also why they reclassified it to a tier
one asset. And that's why gold keeps
reappearing at every major monetary
turning point in history. So basically
gold is the asset that you hold not to
create wealth or get ahead but to make
sure that you don't fall behind when the
system changes because gold has
outlasted and carried its value
throughout all resets. Now, if you're
looking for a secure way to gain
exposure to crypto, precious metals,
whether that's buying, selling, trading,
or even rolling over a 401k into crypto
with potential tax advantages. One
platform that I often point to and I
also use is iTrust Capital. Now what
many don't know about iTrust Capital is
that if you decide to buy gold and
silver through them, they are actually
fully allocated physical metals. And
most people don't know this. So what
that means is the metals are held
through reputable partners which you can
then request for delivery if you choose
to. Now if you're interested, I did put
the link in the description and you can
find that below. Now on the other side
of the spectrum of asset classes, we
have digital assets and pretty much the
broader crypto ecosystem. Now, here's
the key here. While most people remain
focused on the short-term price
movements, the day-to-day price action
and volatility, something bigger is
actually happening in the background as
it relates to blockchain technology and
digital assets. What we're witnessing
right now is the construction
of pretty much a fully digitized
financial architecture. And this has
been in the works for quite some time
and it's already being built now. What
that means is tokenization of assets,
digital settlement layers, programmable
money, and even global liquidity
networks are all developing
simultaneously right now. And over time,
nearly all forms of value will
eventually be represented digitally in
some form. And that essentially means
that all forms of value from financial
assets, commodities,
property rights, identity, money, and
even financial and debt instruments will
eventually all be tokenized on the
blockchain. Now the key here is that
that creates one of the largest wealth
creation opportunities of our lifetime.
And just like every previous disruptive
technological revolution throughout
history has created so many
opportunities during the transition and
this is no different. But this also
requires a lot of discernment because
not all cryptos and digital assets are
equal. Many are scams, pump and dumps,
and just purely speculative investments
with no use cases, and most of them
won't even be around in the future.
However,
there are a limited number of them that
are specifically designed to serve
foundational roles in the next financial
system. And that's where the real
advantage is. It's understanding and
being able to identify which networks
are deeply undervalued relative to the
roles that they are designed to fulfill
and play in the next monetary era. So
what does that mean? That means focusing
on assets with genuine utility, strong
fundamentals and economic moat,
scalability,
long-term relevance, and basically
systems that are being built to solve
real structural problems within the
emerging financial architecture. Now the
ones positioned to capture a
disproportionate share of value as the
system evolves will be the ones that
have all those criteria utility
long-term growth potential fundamentals
use cases tackling existing problems in
the multi-t trillion dollars. Now these
are infrastructures, okay? So they're
not hyped driven tokens and the truth is
they're not investments that are just
going to disappear tomorrow. Because as
tokenization expands across global
markets, a lot of that value will
increasingly concentrate into the
networks that actually move and secure
that value that are specifically
designed to serve critical roles in the
next financial system, in the next
monetary era. And we have the
opportunity right now to capitalize on
that. The opportunity basically lies in
identifying those infrastructure level
assets
early while they're still misunderstood
and undervalued before they appreciate
in value. And that's the key. Now
contrast all of this with cash. Now cash
still plays an important role. And the
truth is it's important to not
misunderstand that as many people do. In
the current system that we live in,
liquidity still matters. You need cash.
You need fiat for everyday transactions,
for paying bills, covering regular
necessities,
taking advantage of short-term
opportunities,
and even investing. Okay? and also
maintaining a basic safety buffer for
unexpected situations.
So the truth is for as long as the
existing financial system continues to
operate in its current form, cash
remains the primary medium through which
economic activity flows for transaction,
transacting, investing. And when you
think about it in that sense, it still
serves a clear and practical purpose. So
I know many people say, "Get rid of all
your cash. That's stupid. Don't do
that." But where cash becomes vulnerable
is when you look at it as a long-term
store of value because it's not. It
loses purchasing power every day. And in
a debt-based system that strictly
depends on continuous credit expansion
and the money supply keeps growing at an
exponential rate in order to keep the
system functioning and that expansion
inevitably destroys your purchasing
power which is your fiat currency and
your cash over time. So that's simply
how the structure of the modern monetary
system works. So cash is good to have
for specific reasons but not as a store
of value. And as the world gradually
moves toward a more digitized form of
currency and settlement, of course cash
won't need to be confiscated to become
less relevant. Okay? Logically, it will
simply lose its effectiveness
slowly over time and fade away as the
system evolves. And currently we're not
there yet, but I would not use it as a
store of value. So the key distinction
is this. Cash is extremely useful for
liquidity
and short-term flexibility, but
historically it's been one of the least
resilient places to park wealth over
long periods during times of sustained
currency debasement or systemic
transitions, which is currently what
we're living through.
So after that, we have companies,
equities or stocks. Okay, this is where
ownership in real businesses become
extremely important. I know a lot of
people say stay away from stocks. That's
also stupid. Don't listen to them. Even
though equities exist inside the
financial system and they are still
priced in fiat currency,
stocks are different because they
represent something fundamentally
different from money itself. They
represent ownership in productive
companies, in productive enterprises
that actually create real goods, real
services and cash flow. And owning a
stock is owning a piece of that. So
during a monetary reset, while the
currency used to measure value can be
debased, restructured or even replaced
completely, strong businesses and
companies don't simply vanish overnight
or disappear because the unit of account
changes. It doesn't work like that. The
businesses, they keep operating. They
continue to operate generating earnings,
revenue, and holding real productive
capacity. Now, that's why throughout
history, ownership in quality companies
has often carried value forward during
inflationary periods and even currency
resets. And not because, you know, the
business suddenly became more valuable
overnight.
That's not why, but simply because the
currency used to price them was losing
purchasing power. And that's exactly
what we're seeing in the stock market,
hitting new all-time highs
during this transition taking place.
Okay. So what typically happens is not
that the stocks lose relevance but that
their nominal value can change
dramatically
as the currency weakens or as it becomes
redefined into a new system. And
actually if we look at history in many
historical cases stocks or equities
ownership in a company actually rose
sharply in nominal terms during very
inflationary transitions. Not
necessarily because the business
suddenly became more valuable but simply
because the currency was significantly
being destroyed. And that's the currency
that we measure
these stocks in the fiat currency. So in
other words,
stocks can act as a practical shield
against currency debasement because they
represent claims on real assets and
future productivity. Okay? Not fixed
promises denominated in currency.
Although it's also important to remember
that not all companies are equal in this
type of environment. That's why some are
going to survive the reset and some will
not only survive but actually thrive and
then many of them will go bust
completely. Now we have land and
properties. Now this has its own
category that's very enduring.
Property if we study history has
intrinsic utility and has carried over
its value into new systems productive
land physical space um property. Now
this gives real estate long-term
resilience. Now although it also comes
with its own limitations which is a
whole other subject. it's immobile,
subject to taxation, um less liquid
depending on um the size of the
property. But nevertheless,
historically, land and property have
consistently retained re relevance
across resets not because they are
optimized financial assets, but simply
because they provide something very
essential, and that's space. So when you
step back and look at the big picture,
one thing becomes clear. There is no
single perfect asset during a monetary
reset. Although some will clearly
perform better than others. That's a
given. But there's no perfect one
because these periods are just simply
too complex and uncertain for any one
investment to provide full protection on
its own. And that's why you really have
to assess what your situation is and
what your goal is. And what really
matters is basically aligning the assets
that you hold with your goals. because
each asset serves a different purpose
and plays a different role during these
periods. Now, real resilience comes from
understanding those roles, not expecting
one asset to do everything. And that's
all I got for you today. If you like
this video, give me a like. If not,
don't worry about it. I'll see you guys
in the next one.
