In this critical episode of the Ask Andrew podcast, Kellen Ainey is joined by Andrew Sleigh to dive into the accelerating crisis in precious metals. With global mints like the Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint, Indian Mint, and even the U.S. Mint facing significant shortages, is a silver supply shock inevitable? Andrew explains how changes in VAT in China, rising physical premiums, and limited product availability are converging to push the gold and silver prices even higher. Learn why now may be the last window to buy gold and buy silver before premiums explode. Topics include the collapse of fiat currencies, BRICS nations preparing with gold-backed systems, institutional vs. retail demand, and critical issues around physical bullion availability. This is a must-watch for anyone concerned about the future of the dollar and protecting wealth with gold and silver.
