Farzin Irani – Show Host and Managing Director at Success Simplified Ltd welcomes Matthew Piepenburg - Partner at ‘Von Greyerz’ formerly known as Gold Switzerland.


The in-depth discussion covers innumerable topics but some of the takeaways from this episode:

•The current state of the global financial system - characterized by massive debt levels and constant currency debasement

•The current Geopolitical chaos and growing global economic tensions

•Government Bonds are in trouble and now offer ‘Return-Free Risk’

•Lessons learnt from FDR’s 1933 Gold confiscation and Nixon’s 1971 Gold shock

•A potential gold revaluation by the US Treasury (underscoring the role of Gold as a reliable store of value during uncertain times) would be a desperate measure that potentially destabilizes global currencies

•Reaction from CHINA and RUSSIA, and what BRICS could possibly do in response

•Stablecoins, the GENIUS Act, and possible introduction of CBDC’s and how this can be weaponized against people


ABOUT THE GUEST

Matthew Piepenburg began his finance career as a transactional attorney before launching his first Hedge Fund during the NASDAQ Bubble of 1999-2001. Thereafter, Matthew began investing his own and other high-net-worth family funds in alternative assets while serving in key roles at single and multi-family offices, collaborating with Morgan Stanley on a multi-strategy hedge fund, and ultimately joined ‘Von Greyerz’ driven by his conviction in precious metals as protection against systemic risk.

He is the co-author of ‘Rigged to Fail’ with Thomas Lottas as well as co-author of ‘Gold Matters’ with Egon von Greyerz. Matthew is also fluent in French, German and English.
