Crypto adoption continues to rise, but so do concerns over security, illicit activity, and accountability. In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos explore the surge in illicit crypto transactions, the risks facing digital assets, and why BRICS nations are aggressively accumulating gold. The conversation examines de-dollarization, central bank strategy, and why physical metals remain foundational during periods of global uncertainty.
