Summary
Peter Schiff is warning of an impending financial crisis worse than 2008, with the potential for hyperinflation, a collapse of the dollar, and a significant rise in gold prices.
Predictions and warnings
Peter Schiff correctly called the 2008 financial crisis and is now warning of an even worse crisis to come.
Peter Schiff correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, despite being ridiculed by the mainstream at the time.
The deficits that are already horrific are going to probably double to four trillion or more, which is inflationary because the FED is going to be printing money to monetize all that debt.
Peter Schiff warns of an impending sovereign debt crisis and currency crisis, with the FED having to choose between the two in a financial crisis worse than 2008.
When gold price gets closer to $3,000, it’s a warning sign of a crisis of confidence in the FED and the dollar.
Peter Schiff believes that the dollar has put in a top and is ready for hyperinflation.
Peter Schiff was predicting the financial crisis before it happened, but didn’t get credit for it.
“Gold prices are going much much higher… Gold’s not just going to 5,000. I mean it will but it’s going much much higher than that.”
Potential consequences of the collapse of the dollar
The collapse of the dollar could take down America’s military might with it, as it’s being financed with borrowed money.
“I don’t want to be there financially. I may be stuck physically but I know how the game ends. It’s not going to end well for the dollar.”
This time it’s going to be an even bigger round of inflation than we had in the 1970s, and the decline in the value of the dollar is going to be worse.
Peter Schiff believes that the dollar’s days are numbered and gold is set to outshine and outperform everything else in the short run.
Impact of the impending financial crisis
The US national debt is projected to reach unsustainable levels, with interest on the debt potentially consuming 100% of tax revenue in the near future.
The tipping point will be when enough people across the globe lose confidence in the dollar and start turning to gold again.
