Reinvent Money

Paul Buitink welcomes longtime silver expert David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report, to discuss the silver market after its explosive move to an all-time high near $121 in late January 2026.

Industrial users—particularly in solar and other critical applications—need real...

In this Reinvent Money episode, host Paul Buitink interviews Rabobank global strategist Michael Every on geopolitics, money, and power.Every argues a full-scale World War III is unlikely, as only the US can project large forces globally (and is occupied in the Middle East), while Europe is weak and China/Russia have limited reach—though proxy wars, economic conflicts, and serious disruptions are already rising.He critiques Fukuyama’s “End of History,” explaining the post-WWII liberal order stemmed from US military victories and the dollar system, which hollowed out American manufacturing and weakened its power base over time.The discussi...

Alasdair Macleod tells Paul Buitink the Fed’s latest hike does not buy time. He gives the fiat system about 18 months. A 10-year yield above 5% could burst an equity bubble bigger than 1929.

AI valuations look unsupported next to cheap Chinese rivals such as DeepSeek. Dutch gold leaving New York, after similar German and French moves, suggests the metal may not be there. Trust in the dollar is fading; gold is...
