This week, I’m publishing the five full chapters of my new, upcoming audio book, “The Financial Big Bang.” Each day of Brighteon Broadcast News this week (from Aug 4 – Aug 8, 2025) features one full chapter from the book. The entire book will be released for free the following week.
You can hear Chapter One in this broadcast from Brighteon.com.
Here’s the full analysis from Chapter One, structured with the help of “Enoch,” our AI engine at Brighteon.AI that’s trained on Austrian economics, gold, silver, crypto technology, fiat currencies and the history of the Federal Reserve.
The United States faces an unprecedented financial crisis characterized by 36 trillion in national debt and over 230 trillion in unfunded liabilities. The petrodollar system, which sustained dollar hegemony since Bretton Woods, is fracturing as global trade shifts toward non-dollar settlements. President Donald Trump and his administration are pursuing aggressive financial strategies—including debt refinancing, reindustrialization, and the potential revaluation of gold—to stave off economic collapse. This research examines the viability of these strategies, the inevitability of gold revaluation, and the broader implications for the global financial system. Evidence suggests that Trump’s policies may temporarily stabilize the debt market but will accelerate dollar devaluation, necessitating a shift toward tangible assets such as gold and silver to preserve wealth.
The U.S. financial system is approaching an inflection point—what this audio book terms the “Financial Big Bang”—a systemic reset driven by unsustainable debt, waning dollar dominance, and strategic policy shifts. The collapse of the petrodollar system, accelerated by BRICS de-dollarization initiatives, has eroded demand for U.S. Treasuries abroad. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve faces the unprecedented challenge of finding buyers for trillions in maturing debt while averting hyperinflation.
This study synthesizes insights from financial experts (Rickards, Gammon, Shechtman, Fitts and others), Federal Reserve white papers, and macroeconomic trends to outline:
1. Trump’s Financial Salvage Measures — Tax reforms, Universal Basic Income (UBI), and Treasury debt restructuring using gold revaluation.
2. The Petro Dollar’s Demise — Declining reserve currency status and the rise of alternative settlement systems.
3. Gold Revaluation as a Strategic Tool — Government-led price adjustments to monetize gold holdings and stabilize currency.
Historical Context:
Post-WWII Bretton Woods established dollar supremacy by pegging oil trades to USD, creating artificial demand. Post-1971 (Nixon’s gold standard abandonment), this allowed unchecked fiat printing, fueling U.S. geopolitical power. However, sanctions (e.g., Russia’s SWIFT exclusion) and BRICS de-dollarization have accelerated alternatives like yuan/ruble settlements.
Treasury Market Vulnerability:
• Debt Maturity Wall: $20+ trillion in U.S. Treasuries matures by 2026, yet traditional buyers (China, Japan, Saudi Arabia) are divesting.
• Yield Spike Risk: If the Fed cuts rates but demand falters, 10-year yields could surge well above 5%, crippling refinancing efforts.
Tactical Measures:
1. UBI Implementation — A proposed $1,000/month digital currency (parallel CBDC) to quell civil unrest and offset job losses from artificial economy collapse.
2. IRS Abolition — Eliminating income tax for earners under $150,000 to stimulate spending.
3. Tax Refund Windfalls — Hypothetical 5-year federal tax refunds to inject liquidity.
Limitations:
• Inflationary Pressure: Flooding the economy with printed USD would exacerbate price instability.
• Dollar Sacrifice: Prioritizing debt market survival over currency stability (Shechtman, 2024).
The Case for Revaluation:
The U.S. holds nearly 262M oz of gold (officially valued at 42.22/oz, with Fed balance sheet valuation just over $11 billion). A policy-driven revaluation (e.g., to $12,000/oz) would:
• Monetize Reserves: Revalue gold to “back” a new currency (e.g., “Amero” or gold-backed USD).
• Stabilize Debt: Use revalued gold to collateralize Treasury issuances, attracting buyers. See FEDS notes article here, which examines five other countries that achieved this results through gold revaluation.
Consequences:
• Wealth Transfer: Gold holders benefit; dollar savers face impoverishment.
• Hyperinflation: Short-term liquidity vs. long-term currency collapse.
Trump’s policies aim to delay systemic failure but cannot reverse dollar decline. Gold’s revaluation will be the pivotal financial event of the decade, mandating:
1. Asset Shift: Convert fiat to precious metals (gold/silver) and productive assets.
2. Policy Vigilance: Monitor Treasury/Fed maneuvers for refinancing signals.
Recommendation: Diversify into non-fiat stores of value (MetalsWithMike.com or other reputable precious metals reseller) to hedge against inflation and monetary reset.
This concludes the outline of Chapter One of my new audio book, “The Financial Big Bang.”
Chapter Two is available in this Brighteon Broadcast News episode, following the initial news segment. The full audio book will be posted separately next week. More executive summaries yet to come.
