According to “Gold Rush 2.0: The Battle for Real Wealth in a Collapsing Dollar Empire”, the U.S. dollar is rapidly losing global dominance as nations like BRICS members shift trade away from it, settling transactions in local currencies and gold.

Gold and silver are critical hedges against monetary collapse, offering scarcity, durability and independence from government manipulation. Silver coins and bullion also serve as practical barter assets in crises.
