  • Gold & Silver Forecasts That Change the Next 5 Years

    Gold & Silver Forecasts That Change the Next 5 Years
    Feb 3 2026
    Where could gold and silver be over the next five years—and why are governments racing to acquire them now?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin, President & CEO of Swiss America, and co-host Chris Agelastos break down bold five-year outlooks for gold and silver and explain why central banks, BRICS nations, and major institutions are aggressively accumulating physical metal—often far more than they publicly disclose.
    The conversation explores:
    • Why China and central banks are quietly stockpiling gold at record levels
    • How confidence in paper assets, currencies, and debt-based systems is eroding
    • Why gold price targets extending toward the end of the decade are being taken seriously
    • How silver’s dual role as both a safe haven and an industrial metal (AI, data centers, solar, technology) could drive sustained demand
    • Why owning physical metal is fundamentally different from ETFs, futures, or paper claims
      This episode isn’t about short-term speculation. It’s about long-term positioning in a world undergoing monetary, geopolitical, and technological change—where confidence, not just price, determines value.

  • BRICS Has Structure — and a Strategy

    BRICS Has Structure — and a Strategy
    Jan 29 2026
    BRICS expansion is accelerating—and it’s becoming more structured, more selective, and more influential in global trade and currency discussions.

    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin (President & CEO of Swiss America) and Chris Agelastos analyze new reporting on Zimbabwe’s BRICS application, the growing list of partner nations, and why multiple countries are seeking closer ties with the BRICS bloc for more “mutually beneficial” trade relationships. The conversation explores how BRICS is building formal processes—applications, approvals, membership tiers, and leadership rotation—which challenges the argument that the bloc lacks unity or organization.

    The hosts also discuss why India’s BRICS leadership matters, how public messaging can differ from strategic action, and what a long-term shift in trade settlement could mean for global markets, currency exchange, and the U.S. dollar over time.

  • Why a Top Bitcoin Bull Just Abandoned Crypto

    Why a Top Bitcoin Bull Just Abandoned Crypto
    Jan 22 2026
    Is Bitcoin really as secure as people think?
    And what happens when technology advances faster than digital security? In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin, President & CEO of Swiss America, and co-host Chris Agelastos examine a growing concern shaking confidence in cryptocurrencies: quantum computing. The discussion centers on why a longtime Bitcoin bull has exited crypto entirely and shifted toward gold, citing the accelerating ability of quantum computing—powered by AI—to crack cryptographic security once considered unbreakable. According to recent research, 20–50% of existing Bitcoins may be vulnerable, particularly older coins created under earlier security standards. Dean and Chris break down:
    • Why quantum computing could threaten Bitcoin and crypto wallets sooner than expected
    • How digital assets can be compromised with no customer service, statements, or recovery
    • Why “secure today” does not mean secure tomorrow in the digital world
    • The difference between digital scarcity and physical asset security
    • Why gold’s thousands-year track record still matters in an age of rapidly evolving technology
    This episode is not anti-technology—it’s a sober look at risk, permanence, and trust in a world where financial systems are changing faster than ever. 👉 Stay informed before security assumptions break

  • The Real Cost of a Cashless, Tokenized World

    The Real Cost of a Cashless, Tokenized World
    Jan 20 2026
    Global financial infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental transformation. In this episode of Secret War on Cash, hosts Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze SWIFT’s landmark tokenized asset trial—an initiative involving thousands of global banks that allows blockchain transactions to settle alongside traditional financial systems. The conversation explores:
    • How tokenization and blockchain could reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar
    • Why governments and institutions are building systems that can function without dollar settlement
    • The risks of centralizing global payments through a single network
    • Potential consequences for inflation, bank balances, stock markets, and bond markets
    • Why this transition may arrive sooner—and more painfully—than many expect
    This episode offers a clear, sober look at the real-world implications of a rapidly changing monetary system.

  • Why Silver Stackers Are Challenging the Financial System

    Why Silver Stackers Are Challenging the Financial System
    Jan 13 2026
    Silver is gaining attention not just for its price — but for what growing physical demand may reveal about the financial system.

  • Silver Is Just Getting Started — Why $100 Isn’t the End

    Silver Is Just Getting Started — Why $100 Isn’t the End
    Jan 9 2026
    The “Secret War on Cash” may not be much of a secret anymore.
    Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down why more Americans are feeling the war on the value of their dollar — and why gold and silver are responding.
    💥 Silver’s Next Move
    With silver already rising from roughly $30 to the $70–$80 range, many investors are asking if they’ve missed the opportunity. Dean explains why the answer is no — and why silver may still be in the early stages of a much larger move, driven by:
    • Rising industrial demand (EVs, solar, technology)
    • Increasing investment demand
    • Growing safe-haven demand
    • Ongoing currency debasement
    📈 Why $100 Silver Isn’t Extreme
    Despite bold predictions, much of silver’s recent move has been a catch-up trade after years of being undervalued relative to gold. Analysts argue that the fundamentals supporting higher prices remain firmly in place.
    🏦 The Federal Reserve “Dot Plot” Explained
    Dean and Chris also dive into the Federal Reserve’s Dot Plot — a chart showing where Fed officials believe interest rates are headed. While the Dot Plot currently suggests only one rate cut in 2026, many independent analysts expect multiple cuts, citing:
    • Slowing job growth
    • Softening labor markets
    • Weakening economic momentum
    Dean raises a critical point: the Dot Plot is anonymous, frequently revised, and lacks accountability — making it more of a sentiment snapshot than a reliable forecast. Historically, rate cuts and a weakening dollar have been supportive of gold and silver prices.
    🛡️ Gold, Silver & the Dollar Under Pressure
    As monetary policy loosens and confidence in fiat currencies erodes, precious metals continue to act as financial insurance — not short-term trades, but long-term hedges against inflation, debt, and systemic risk.
