The Impact of Central Bank Digital Currencies - Robert Kiyosaki, George Gammon

In a powerful episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki teams up with financial expert George Gammon to tackle the urgent issues facing our global economy, with a special focus on the rising threat of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of money, privacy, and financial freedom.
This episode is crucial for anyone looking to safeguard their financial future in an increasingly uncertain world. Kiyosaki and Gammon provide actionable insights into how to prepare for the looming financial challenges by understanding the hidden forces at play in the global economy. Their discussion offers valuable wisdom on protecting your assets and making informed investment decisions during turbulent times.
Understanding the Crisis: The Future of Money and Privacy
Robert Kiyosaki kicks off the episode by emphasizing the crucial need to understand the concepts of money and privacy in today's volatile financial environment. The discussion centers around the dangers posed by CBDCs like the Fed coin, Bitcoin, and other emerging cryptocurrencies. Kiyosaki warns of an Orwellian future where central banks, through digital currencies, could erode individual privacy and financial freedom. *"What 1984 is to Big Brother is watching, the big concern with Fed now or the Fed coin, central bank digital currency (CBDC), is that we lose our privacy,"* he cautions.
The Control of Money: A Hidden Power Structure
George Gammon delves into the often-overlooked power held by banks, particularly those outside the U.S., in controlling the global money supply. He explains that 95% of the dollars circulating today are not physical currency but digital credits created by banks. This digital money system, known as the Eurodollar system, plays a critical role in the global financial landscape, far beyond what most people realize.
Privacy Concerns and Orwellian Implications
The conversation turns to the significant privacy concerns associated with CBDCs. Gammon explains how these digital currencies could centralize power in the hands of institutions like the Federal Reserve, moving individual account balances from commercial banks to central banks. This shift, he argues, represents a serious threat to personal privacy and freedom, paving the way for unprecedented financial surveillance.
The Silicon Valley Bank Crisis and Economic Warnings
Kiyosaki and Gammon discuss the Silicon Valley Bank crisis as a symptom of deeper economic issues. They draw parallels between the inverted yield curve-a key economic indicator where short-term interest rates exceed long-term rates-and the early warning signs of a financial tsunami. *"If short-term interest rates are higher than long-term rates, it’s like a tsunami warning signaling that bad economic weather is coming,"* Gammon explains.
The Fed’s Actions and Preparing for a Financial Tsunami
The episode also explores the Federal Reserve's actions, including the potential dropping of interest rates, often referred to as the Fed pivot. While such moves might seem positive on the surface, Gammon and Kiyosaki argue that they often precede larger financial breakdowns. Gammon advises listeners to maintain a strong cash position, hold assets like gold and short-term Treasury bonds, and be prepared to seize opportunities when the crisis hits.
