The Endgame for Fiat? Currency, Credit, and the Case for Gold

I am travelling this weekend so today’s thought piece is a conversation, which Mining Network recorded last week week between veteran gold guru, Alasdair Macleod, and myself.

It’s heavyweight goldbug stuff. I hope you enjoy it.

You can watch it below, but I have also ripped the audio so you have the option to listen to that if you prefer to escape the clutch of your screens.

If you are thinking of buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times, I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.

I’ll be MCing this year’s Moneyweek Summit this coming Friday November 8th. Readers of the Flying Frisby can get a 20% discount by entering the code FRISBY20

And if you are interested in hearing more from Alasdair, he has a Substack too.

A $14 Trillion Wall Street Firm Just Changed Everything for Ethereum

Some analysts have attributed this rally to renewed optimism around crypto ETFs or broader market momentum.

Others pointed to Ethereum’s surging activity across Layer‑2 networks, which act like express lanes built on top of Ethereum to make transactions faster and cheaper.

But I believe something else played a much bigger role in this week’s ETH rally.

And it came from Fidelity.

The 78-year-old financial giant, which manages over $14 trillion in assets, just published a report that backs up exactly what I said back in 2022.

According to Fidelity, Ethereum isn’t a tech investment.

It’s a sovereign digital economy.

The Hidden Crack In the Labor Market

The 8.87 million Americans holding second jobs likely fall into two groups. The first are those who work a second job by choice – the so-called “side gig.”

The second group? Those who are struggling economically.

How to Ruin a Business Without Really Trying

July 18, 2025 • Andrew Packer

It’s crucial as an investor to look at who you’re investing with. Someone with a good idea and integrity will help you grow your wealth far more than someone with a great idea but who has no integrity.

And why it’s important to keep some of your wealth in honest forms of money like gold and, yes, bitcoin.

And there’s another theme here as well: The truth. It always comes out. Not always on the jumbotron, or on the front page of a national newspaper. But if you always live your life under the assumption that anything you do will be headline news – or the darling of social media – you’ll focus on the positive ways that can turn out.

A Week of Marvels

July 17, 2025 • Bill Bonner

First the marvels. We had thought the trade wars were happily resting in their graves. But last week, they rose up again…ghoulish and ghastly.

After the ‘reciprocal’ tariff program was abandoned, the administration’s top quack economist, Peter Navarro, had promised ‘90 deals in 90 days.’ And so, the trade negotiators went to work. But after three months, there were only three deals done. One of them was with the UK, with which we had a trade surplus…and the other two — with China and Vietnam — are fishy and probably won’t stick.
