Matthew Piepenburg—The Sea Change of Trust in the US Dollar EP56


Listen Later

February 27, 2022 will probably‌ go down as a major turning point in the global economic system.

That is the day that the Western countries levied the strongest sanctions against Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, pushing them away from using the dollar as their reserve currency and forcing other countries to also question the dollar.

So, what new monetary system are we moving towards? What role will the dollar play? And what about gold?

Matthew Piepenburg is the Commercial Director of Matterhorn Asset Management AG and the author of Rigged to Fail: Blunt-Spoken Investment Solutions for Unsuspecting Investors. A graduate of Brown (BA), Harvard (MA), and the University of Michigan (JD), he is the author of numerous international white papers on macro conditions, asset classes, and global risk management strategies at SignalsMatter.com.

On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, Matt joins me to share his insight on the erosion of trust and confidence in the US dollar and why money created with a mouse click is a system that's rigged to fail.

Matt discusses how the economic war happening now is due to years and years of 'drunk driving' by the central banks, policymakers, the Fed, etc.

Listen in to understand why the changing out of the US dollar as the world reserve currency is inevitable. Matt will give his insight into the manipulation of the price of gold, what new monetary system we might be moving toward, and his advice on risk management for individual investors now.
