TEDM – David Morgan – Gold as a Barometer of Crisis (Episode 231)
Description
In this episode of The Everyday Millionaire, host Patrick Francey sits down with David Morgan, one of the most trusted voices in precious metals. They unpack why gold prices are hitting records, why silver may be entering an acceleration phase, and how investors can think clearly amid rising inflation, debt saturation, and central bank experimentation with digital money. David frames gold as a forward-looking barometer of systemic stress, not a relic. When policymakers papered over 2008’s failures, the cycle of distortion deepened. Today gold’s breakout is signaling that the reset is moving closer.
The conversation covers practical strategy. David explains how to hold and even spend metal using modern vault-backed debit systems that settle in fiat on the merchant side, while preserving metal ownership on the user side. They address the realities of CBDCs and digital IDs, the importance of assets with no counterparty risk, and why it can still make sense to buy metals at all-time highs during late-cycle moves. Patrick and David also explore the moral dimension of money, the erosion of trust, and the role of logic and critical thinking in cutting through narratives.
Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of gold and silver as tools for wealth preservation, context for central bank gold buying, and a checklist mindset for navigating uncertainty. Whether you are new to precious metals or considering how to position a broader portfolio, this episode offers grounded guidance without hype.
