In a world where hope is becoming increasingly rare, people are looking for a reality that offers them belief in a better future. There are billions of people that feel as though they have been outcasted from society via financial constraints. This is magnified in the West due to social upbringing, Millennials & Gen-Z were groomed for a world that no longer exists. This build up of energy & ultimately anger and frustration must be channelled into something. The powers that be try to exasperate this energy by inciting degeneracy in forms such as porn, gambling, drinking and drugs to name a few. This has worked for previous generations, however as the internet continuously ingrains itself into the lives of the youth, the past playbook is no longer working as seen in 2025.
Governments over-thrown or collapsed in 2025 -
Nepal -Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned amid widespread Gen-Z protests against corruption and a social media ban; parliament buildings were set on fire, leading to an interim government under Sushila Karki and elections set for 2026.
Madagascar -President Andry Rajoelina fled after youth-led protests over shortages and corruption; the military’s elite CAPSAT unit seized power, with Colonel Michael Randrianirina appointed interim president.
Peru - President Dina Boluarte was impeached and removed by Congress for moral incapacity amid scandals and rising crime; Congress president José Jerí assumed the interim presidency.
South Korea - President Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached by parliament and removed by the Constitutional Court after his short-lived martial law declaration sparked nationwide protests.
Bulgaria - The coalition government under Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov resigned after mass protests against corruption and a proposed tax-heavy 2026 budget; snap elections became likely.
And of course the Iranian uprising that we are currently living through.
It is widely accepted that governments ruling over its people as they do today is normal however, historically it is not. Sovereign nation states with centralised authority as we know them today is a fairly new concept. Ultimately nationalism intensified during the French Revolution in 1789 which popularised the idea of a state aligned with a shared national identity, language and culture. The purpose of a government is to serve the people of said country. The taxes citizens pay is supposed to be for protection and the opportunity to do business in peace without the threat of violence. So by definition if your country is not safe, the government has failed its people and should be dismantled immediately. First and for-most the government's role is to serve the people, yet in 2026 it seems as though their role is to simply mass extract from all citizens. This is before we touch on the corruption present in every government across the world. It seems more prevalent in the West in recent times as westerners have been brought up to believe other countries are corrupt but never their own. With this world view now in tatters, people are naturally angry and ready to point the finger.
As the majority slowly wake up to what fiat money is and what real money is, life as we’ve known it can simply not continue. The chickens have come home to roost, so to speak. We've seen new all time-highs for both Gold and Silver in 2025 and this has continued into 2026. The last time Gold & Silver both made new all-time highs together was the late 1970's - a period marked by severe economic and geopolitical turmoil, including:
- Rampant inflation: US inflation rates hit double digits, peaking around 13-14% in 1979-1980, eroding confidence in fiat currencies and driving investors to precious metals as a hedge.
- Oil shocks: The 1979 Iranian Revolution disrupted global oil supplies, causing prices to spike, which fuelled broader inflationary pressures and economic instability.
- Geopolitical tensions: The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 heightened Cold War fears, boosting safe-haven demand for Gold and Silver.
- Monetary policy shifts: federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker began aggressively hiking interest rates in late 1979 to combat inflation, but the initial uncertainty contributed to the metals rally before higher rates eventually cooled it.
- Do any of these events seem familiar?
It is slightly disturbing that around nearly half of today's population lived through these events yet they seem to have completely forgotten all about it in just 46 years. How is this possible and how have we allowed this to happen again? History tells us that civilisations on average last around 250 years before a certain boiling point occurs. Civilisations from the Romans to the Ottomans fell due to expanding the money supply too aggressively, eventually losing the trust of its citizens resulting in civil unrest. It is quite literally a tale as old as time. To quote Micheal Saylor - “ If you hold your family’s wealth in the Argentinian peso you will lose 99% of your wealth in 20 years. If you hold you family’s wealth in the American dollar you lose 99% of your wealth over 90 years." This is inhumane and must cease to continue.
Money is simply stored time and energy and at the very least should hold its purchasing power over time and not be debased at an average of 7-10% a year. There is no other way to describe this taxation other than theft. Even during America's strongest Gold Standard (1879-1914) when the dollar was supposedly ‘stable’, power still found ways to manipulate money through wars, banking schemes and eventually devaluations. True stability has always been temporary and those in control never stop manipulating the system. To put it bluntly, it seems those who retain power simply cannot help themselves and therefore we shouldn't trust them with our time and energy.
They cannot take our hope.
226,016 people have untied to believe in a better future
True assets must have a fixed supply and be decentralised to stop bad actors stealing from the people.
The question is no longer will the system break but what people will choose to believe in when it does.
