Show notes

💡 Central banks are stockpiling gold. You can too. Invest in gold & silver with Hard Assets Alliance: https://hardassetsalliance.com/?aff=WTH

Legendary gold investor and businessman Pierre Lassonde joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to reveal why we may be entering the most powerful gold bull market in 50 years. Lassonde, co-founder of Franco Nevada and creator of the famous “Lassonde Curve,” warns that exploding global debt, financial repression, and declining trust in the U.S. dollar are driving gold back to the center of the financial system.

He explains why central banks are dumping dollars for gold, how China’s Shanghai Gold Exchange could soon set global prices, and why most investors are still missing out on this opportunity. Lassonde also highlights why silver is poised to outperform, why gold miners remain deeply undervalued, and why it is puzzling that the entire gold sector is still smaller than tech giants like Tesla or Nvidia.

Most striking of all, he predicts gold could surge to $17,250 per ounce by 2030, a move that would reshape the global financial order.

Steven McClurg: The Bitcoin Top Was Oct 4th — Prepare For Another 30% Drop? Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

💡As crypto, equities, and liquidity move through different cycles, it helps to understand your positioning. Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4s7lLPI

Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, joins CoinFund President Chris Perkins to break down what’s actually driving crypto markets beneath the headlines. He explains why crypto ETFs are gaining traction even as Bitcoin and altcoins struggle, and why futures markets, basis trades, and market structure matter more than sentiment or politics.

McClurg shares a contrarian view on the four-year Bitcoin cycle, arguing that the peak may already be behind us, with miner capitulation and liquidity pressures weighing on prices. The conversation also explores why price weakness doesn’t necessarily signal slowing innovation, how stablecoins fit into the broader macro picture, and what investors should be watching as markets move into the next phase of the cycle.

Why i-80 Gold Could Grow From 50k to 600k+ Ounces | Richard Young, CEO Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

In this conversation, Richard Young, President & CEO of i-80 Gold, joins Wealthion’s Trey Reik to discuss how his company is building a high-grade, mid-tier gold producer focused entirely on Nevada, one of the world’s best mining jurisdictions. Richard walks through i-80’s plan to grow production from under 50,000 ounces today to more than 600,000 ounces annually in the early 2030s, with the potential for long-life production way beyond that. The discussion highlights why high-grade underground mining, jurisdictional quality, and disciplined sequencing matter more than aggressive exploration in today’s gold market. Richard also outlines the key feasibility studies, recapitalization efforts, and development milestones investors should be watching over the next 12–24 months, before closing with his perspective on the global structural forces supporting gold and the importance of execution and asset quality.

Chris Casey: America’s Fiscal Crisis Will Drive the Next Inflation Shock | Debt, QE & the Fed Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

💡Worried that America’s fiscal crisis could trigger the next inflation shock? Get a free portfolio review with Chris Casey and the team at WindRock by going here: https://bit.ly/4q9uYFm The Federal Reserve may be cutting rates. But, according to Chris Casey, founder & managing director of WindRock Wealth Management, the most dangerous inflation hasn’t even started yet. In this conversation with Wealthion’s Maggie Lake, Casey explains why the Fed is far more limited than most investors realize, why markets are already looking past rate cuts, and why the next inflation wave won’t come from supply shocks or tariffs, but from the Fed’s inevitable response to an unsustainable debt load. “When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” Casey warns. With trillions in deficits and a fiscal system under strain, he argues that money printing becomes the default option — that’s when the real inflation risk emerges. 💡Get to Know Chris Casey: His Journey, Strategy, and Financial Philosophy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2DdcqtoBYs 💡 Looking to hedge fiscal risk, debt, and currency debasement?

David Rosenberg: "The Business Cycle Is Dead"—The Story Investors Today Believe Dec 16, 2025

Show notes

💡Think “buy the dip” may no longer be enough? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/48WIKnY The business cycle is dead. Bear markets are no more. Recessions, eliminated. At least, that’s how many investors view the market. But are these safe assumptions? In this interview with James Connor, economist David Rosenberg pushes back on these dangerous beliefs in investing today. He explains how complacency, hubris, and overconfidence have replaced risk management and why history suggests markets are ignoring forces they can’t repeal, no matter how strong the narrative feels. This isn’t a call to panic. It’s a warning about what happens when investors believe Mother Nature no longer applies to markets David also breaks down: * Why rate cuts aren’t actually stimulating the real economy * How stocks are being priced as if risk no longer exists * Why the equity wealth effect is masking weakness in the consumer * How AI-driven capex is distorting economic growth * Why the labor market is cracking beneath the headlines 💡 Worried today’s market optimism is masking real risk?

Harry Dent: The Biggest Artificial Bubble in History Has No Soft Landing Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

💡Uncertain about how a potential market downturn could affect your portfolio? Get a free, no-obligation portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors at https://bit.ly/4pD6Vi6

Harry Dent argues that today’s markets are trapped in the largest and most artificial bubble in history, created by years of government deficits, money printing, and the suppression of natural economic cycles. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, he explains why demographics and generational spending patterns, not innovation alone, drive long-term booms and busts. Dent warns that eliminating recessions has destroyed true price discovery and made a soft landing impossible. He also breaks down why money velocity is signaling deep economic fragility and why millennials are being hurt most by inflated asset prices. Dent outlines what tends to break first when major bubbles unwind and why the initial phase of a crash often happens faster than investors expect. Finally, he shares how he thinks about positioning during extreme market stress and where opportunity may emerge after a full reset.

💡Wondering how long-term tech shifts like blockchain fit into your portfolio? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4q3K4w1 Blockchain technology is no longer just hype. Corporations are now adopting this technology, and Santiago Roel Santos, founder & CEO of Inversion, argues that every business will use blockchain technology over the next 25 years, in much the same way every business eventually adopted the internet. In this interview with CoinFund’s Chris Perkins, Santiago breaks down blockchain’s real impact: reducing friction in financial systems, lowering costs, improving transparency, and reshaping how businesses move money. From payments and stablecoins to private equity, infrastructure, and capital markets, this technology is gradually becoming the internet's settlement layer. This secular trend now set in motion is bigger than simply “crypto winning.”It’s about financial infrastructure evolving and why businesses that ignore it risk being left behind. 💡As financial infrastructure evolves, portfolio resilience becomes critical.

Michael Green: How Speculative Behavior Is Shaping a Generation and Warping Market Reality Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

💡If markets feel more like a casino these days… you’re not imagining it. Protect your financial future with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s endorsed advisors: https://bit.ly/48PUrNe In part 2 of our interview with Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, he explains why the stock market has become disconnected from fundamentals and why that shift is pushing an entire generation toward speculation. Passive investing, momentum flows, and distorted market structure have created an environment where prices no longer reflect business value. Instead, the system increasingly behaves like a closed loop of capital flows, rewarding size rather than fundamentals. This dislocation, Green argues, has produced a “nihilistic” response among younger investors who no longer see a credible path to long-term wealth through traditional saving and investing. When the system feels stacked against you, asymmetric bets — crypto, meme stocks, options — can seem rational. He also breaks down: * Why passive investing reshaped market mechanics * How fundamentals became irrelevant in a market ruled by flows * Why younger generations adopt “lottery ticket” strategies * The structural reasons speculation may keep rising * The risks of a market that no longer reallocates capital efficiently This is part 2 of our interview with Michael Green.

Michael Green: Where the Real Poverty Line Is | Why Lower Inflation Isn’t Fixing the Cost of Living Dec 10, 2025

💡Concerned today’s economy is leaving households behind? Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4aK8GW9 Michael Green’s Substack article “My Life Is a Lie” has gone viral for challenging how the federal government defines the poverty line and why that definition no longer reflects reality in 2025. In this conversation, Michael Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, explains why the official poverty line is decades out of date, how benefit cliffs and rising price levels trap households above the poverty threshold, and why families making up to $140,000 can still feel like they’re in a financially precarious position. He breaks down: * Why lower inflation doesn’t mean lower living costs * How CPI and poverty line calculations miss real household cash flow * Why growth in AI and data centers isn’t reaching most people * And why millions feel “already underwater” despite positive economic data If you’ve seen debates about the modern poverty line, the $140K poverty threshold, or Michael Green’s viral Substack, this interview provides the full economic context behind the headlines.
