Gold feels like truth. Older than governments, older than politics, older than promises.
But here’s the real question:
Is gold actual power… or just the most expensive way to feel safe?
In this episode, we cut through the hype and follow economic history—from the gold standard and the constraints it created, to Bretton Woods, the 1971 “gold window”, and why central banks still hold gold today.
You’ll learn:
The difference between gold as “real money” and gold as a safe haven
Why the gold standard often acted like a chain in crises
What really happened in 1971 (and what didn’t)
Why modern institutions—not metal—drive monetary power
When gold protects… and when it doesn’t
This isn’t a “buy gold” video.
It’s a reality check on what gold is actually doing in the financial system—and what it reveals about trust.
Question for you:
Do you hold gold for power… or for peace of mind? Comment below.
