2025-06-15 Why Central Banks Are Hoarding Gold and Currency Devaluation Is Accelerating

Author: Dennis Tubbergen June 15, 2025 Duration: 43:42
The Case for Gold: Why Central Banks Are Hoarding and Currency Devaluation Is Accelerating On RLA radio this week, host Dennis Tubbergen visits with gold expert Simon Popple, founder of Gold Program, reveals why gold has delivered 10.1% annual returns since 2000 and explains his "MIDI" framework—Market uncertainty, Inflation, Debt, and Interest rates—driving gold prices higher. In this eye-opening interview, Popple discusses how massive quantitative easing programs are creating unsustainable debt burdens, why central banks worldwide are accumulating gold at unprecedented rates, and how currency devaluation may be the only way out of the current fiscal crisis. He also shares practical advice on physical gold ownership, compares gold versus silver opportunities, and warns why the recent Japanese bond market collapse could be a preview of what's coming for other major economies. Whether you're new to precious metals or a seasoned investor, this conversation provides essential insights into protecting wealth during these uncertain times. Mr. Simon Popple is the author of the Brookville Capital Intelligence Report. Mr. Popple started a newsletter with MoneyWeek called Metals & Miners, and when they were acquired, he set up Gold Speculator with Jim Rickards. During this time, he was a featured speaker at MoneyWeek and Mines & Money conferences. Mr. Popple has also done numerous interviews with IGTV on the gold market.
