Adam, I am very pleased that you have gone off on your own. I have always appreciated your interviewing skills and the guests are well served by this ability. You approach the subject matter with the investor in mind and not sensationalism.

Egon is a very wise man - he covered so many subjects including debt levels, societal and population trends, role of gold in the portfolio. Humble in not giving timing for the unfolding which nobody really knows. Great guest, thanks Adam!

I’m sorry for your loss with your Father Adam Praying for you and your family ❤

I appreciated the early joke even though it didn't land, Adam! Thanks for all the great guests you interview for us.

Excellent interview as always. Thank you, Adam!

Thank you both Enjoyed the insights

As usual a very nice interview and I concur on many things he spoke. Thanks Adam.

Great stuff, thanks again!

Great interview with Egon! I ❤ listening & learning from Egon. I catch every interview I see on KZfaq that has Egon in it. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Spot on. Its shameful how politicians have opened borders - Aya hirsi Ali wrote all about this, exactly what Egon is talking about.

Excellent Interview ❤

Thanks both, brilliant discussion Thanks for having Egon back !!

Thanks Adam. Another great guest. He was right. History will show you to be if not the best, one of the best at putting out complicated information in an easily digestible way. Thank you again for doing what you do. Best of luck to you and yours, not that you will need luck.

Egon is always good to hear from, learn something each time, Thank Adam

A very thought provoking interview. The wisdom and “old money” confidence in his perspective is refreshing. The outlook seems very dire and I wonder how investments in an online brokerage account will adapt…. let’s say one has $40k invested in wheat continuous contracts (WEET?) and wheat recovers some of its value….say 20 percent…. but the dollar begins to hyper inflate. Do you own some piece of a wheat future … or do you own paper that inflated to $250k but will only buy a couple hamburgers ?

Thanks

Sorry for your loss Adam. Egon is awesome. Thanks again 👍

I’m a huge fan of rare items whether it be vintage cars, sewing machines, guns or gold. My interest in what will never be produced again makes these items interesting and increases their value. Gold holds the rarity factor in old coins, newly minted bars in small releases and in its physical elemental state, comprising of just 0.003 percent of the earths crust. I have had small stakes in bitcoin and find it intriguing,however believe it has less value as an un-correlated asset to equities than gold because it has never been proven through the ages.

Great to hear wise people... Specially when talking about the important.

Thank you very much...

Glad that you shared this Adam. I hope you have had a fantastic time in Hawaii 🌴

Thanks to both of you. Adam, could you clarify how gold remains a safe investment despite its decline alongside the stock market in 2008 and 2000? Considering a major crisis where values plummet, will gold rebound faster than stocks, and if so, by what margin?

I’ve heard a lot of people saying that the only way that this debt can ever be taken care of is by default or by hyper inflating it away, but they failed to realize is that because the only way we can inflate the currency is to create exponentially more debt that means that the debt can never be inflated away, because the only way to cause the inflation is to create more debt most likely there will be hyperinflation, followed by complete Debt default

Adam, you deserve more subscribers. Keep up the great work. I have learned so much since I found you last October and I appreciate all of the time you put into this project. The variety of professionals that you bring on the show is such a fantastic wealth of knowledge and experience.

Thank you for all the information and your hard work ! Greetings from Germany

A treasure of a video thank you.

Adam, this is the best and (in my opinion) the most useful interview ever.

Always want to hear from Egon

38:30 - exactly. It's not just a financial problem, or a social problem, or an environmental problem (in which I include resource depletion). It's a wicked combination of all of these. So few commentators see the whole picture.

Adam- you are from CA. I - am from Seattle. It’s very clear that democrats are failing these two city/states. It’s time for Ronald Reagan again!!!

I greatly appreciate this incredibly enlightening video. Throughout times of economic turbulence, gold and silver have earned a reputation for their stability. Yet, it's essential not to underestimate the significance of cryptocurrencies, which present distinct opportunities such as liquidity, around-the-clock market access, and the potential for significant profits. Embracing the realm of crypto trading in this digital age could prove to be a prudent choice for substantial expansion. I'm indebted to Francine Duguay for her expert guidance, her deep crypto knowledge and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this journey, With her holistic investment approach and her commitment to staying current with market trends, she stands out as a formidable ally in the cryptocurrency world...

41:26 the United States is not supposed to be a democracy it's supposed to be a constitutional republic

Great interview, Adam. Your choice of interviewees and your conducting of the interview are non pareil! Thanks for what you do! Your own low key, self-effacing attitude is so refreshing and brings out the best in the people you interview.

I found this interview to be extremely valuable, and I thoroughly appreciate the insights and views of this guest speaker. Thanks again, Adam. You are knocking them out of the park. Please keep it up.

Thanks! Solid Gold Interview.

Egon for the win! 🏆 ❤

10:50 Credit to the host for asking the income inequality question, and to the guest for giving a reasonable answer. Take it from the man. I feel like it should be a bigger market risk or opportunity discussion. The numbers tell the story and think of the jobs america is creating, who wants to work at Target or Wendy's or for Amazon?

Excellent

It is critical to have a discussion with possible solutions

For someone who talks about macro, gold, silver and bitcoin, I'd recommend getting James Lavish on the show

Adam, what was date of original interview. Thanks.

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is still watching this very informative content cheers Frank 😊

Super!

Thanks Adam, that's cheered up my Easter.

I believe it would be insightful for Adam to conduct interviews on immigration. Here are my thoughts: - Asserting that the U.S. requires immigrants to maintain its competitive edge may reflect the soft bigotry of low expectations. It might be more beneficial to promote trade schools as the primary path for many, ensuring that universities are reserved for those who truly fit there. - The idea that the U.S. should act as a haven for individuals from less prosperous countries could also be seen as a form of the soft bigotry of low expectations. It's important to recognize that Hispanic individuals are not racially inferior to white individuals, and they possess the capability to foster prosperity in their own nations. - The concept of strength through diversity is debatable. A culture's strength may actually stem from its homogeneity.

This guy is dark, but let's face it he's right. Everyone knows we've trapped ourselves.

Gold & Silver 👍

If you take the gold spot price and compensate for dollar devaluation you'll get a far less rosy picture, this is how you should really measure the gold "value increase" and purchasing power. Gold is a safe asset, it's good to have some (5-10%) but there are far better assets to hold over long periods of time.

Milei is a libertarian.

Yes, please discuss immigration!! I love this channel. Thank you, Adam!

I find gold proof coins interesting Am playing with them as an investment option

History repeats itself. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to fail it.

Just as you brought a real discussion on debt to thousands like me, a small businessman with 10 employees, an exploration of high immigrant levels, pro and con would be a second massive service. In particular I would add how very long it takes for assimilation to occur which is being ignored in my opinion.

Was it Lance saying the other day that gold is 20% of the total money supply, typically? I cant believe that it still is, given the insane inflation of the money supply

Milei is a Libertarian not a far right extremist!!

The long debt cycle of history unfolds as Egon explains (debt defaults and asset prices collapse and economic relations get reset). The problem is the timing, length, and nature of the correction/collapse. Precious metals make sense as a store of wealth and possibly a medium of exchange, but the more important alternative is real assets. The short-term incentives of currency depreciation and devaluation is to borrow as much as possible of that paper currency to trade for real assets that will retain real value. So the message is borrow, borrow, borrow and buy, buy, buy.This only accelerates and amplifies the eventual reckoning. The market implication is that real estate and US mega-cap equities will continue to bubble up in nominal terms, if not real relative values. We have no political leaders to help manage this until crises hit; they're all Lilliputians for now.

You mean you got the Flu Adam 😂

I enjoyed this video. My sympathy for the loss of your dad, I can relate due to the unexpectedly lost a 32 year old son of mine a year ago.

Thanks , subbed….

Adam Could you please do a video on the PM backed Crypto Ccys for Micro Level retail transactions. PM backed Crypto Ccy such as KAS Kinesis Lode and SlvT AabbG tokens are more stable, reliable and set to be the future for retail transactions

Jeeze, that was depressing!

Thanks for the interview. I guess my main question is this: how do you know how big the stadium is?

He is of course 100% correct. The US cumulative deficit is doubling every 8 years. Our tax revenue/collections are approximately $4 trillion per year. We spend $5-6 trillion/year. There is no way out. We haven’t balanced our annual budget since Clinton, and that was just 1 year balanced. The US will default and restructure. The biggest chapter 11 of all time. But even with a zero deficit, we would still spend more than our tax revenue. So the deficit will just accumulate again. We simply spend more than we collect. SS and Medicare is over $2 trillion per year. Defense spending is approx $800 billion. That leaves about $1.2 trillion for all the other spending. We would half to fire at least 50% of all federal workers and stop all these special spending bills on states, foreign interest etc.

R.I.P to your father.

All these bitcoin maximalists that don’t understand its price increase is driven purely by the inflation of the debt bubble😂 you’re all going to be crushed. You think the smart money is going to hold onto a digit on a screen in the face of insolvency?

What happen if you purchase gold miners?

Am long both gold and bitcoin. They are both good and quite different. The EU just banned anonymous crypto wallets. They can stop on and off ramps for crypto. But, crypto is easy to transport, store and spend. Gold is hard to transport, store and spend. But harder for governments or hackers to attack.

Great Egon!🌞

Adam is a KZfaqr champion. Broadcasting for us while he is vacationing with family. It's like we are his favorite parasocial family.

Thanks. I am troubled that we don't have adult conversations about hard topics. So please do. Have REAL conversation about hard topics

Thanks for not asking the hard questions again, you at least could ask him how his view, in 2013 or 2014 changed or if his views been represented in the price of gold then. I can see the case for Gold and own some, but let's at least let them make the case for the mining stocks and if they been bullish on them from the 2021 tops - or the post covid Gold top on august second 2020 in the price of gold - why are they bullish now. Please invite Jason Shapiro to deliver a View that is really focused on playing the markets and earning a return instead of engraving biases. I beg you to invite a market wizard, while he doesn't even like the phrase. Please.

I don't know how Adam Taggarts Bias is so beautifully finding all the same guys with the same biases. It's a shame while Lance Roberts tries to shake him every saturday. Thanks for the Work Mr. Taggart, thanks to Lance Roberts.

On the topic of ENERGY I encourage everyone to watch the documentary by Dr. Steven Greer: “ the lost century, and how to reclaim it”.

35 trillion reasons that he might be correct...

Riddle me this... If the value of gold stays the same, but the value of a dollar declines, why does the Congress and the IRS tax us as though we've gained something!? (Rhetorical of course)

Gold outperformed the Dow from 1971 to date. Gold outperformed Dow 2,000 to date, for 24 years. Best kept secret.

Hope your weekly guest Lance has viewed this podcast and listening to someone expert in gold.

Since gold's low in 2015 it has been outperforming the S&P. I expect that the number of ounces of gold one needs to buy a share of the S&P will continue to compress over this decade.

Mr. Adam in white shirt is so handsome ! xoxo

We are in a bubble, since 2009, and playing against that is a fools game still. Gold as in financial markets isnt a hedge.

ADAM NEVER STOPS!.

what impact could a depopulation event / trend have on inflation? could it be deflationary?

A objective discussion on immigration would be wonderful. My principle concerns are security and economic. A systematic vetting of those immigrating would provide for security and could help support the economy.Our govenrment works best when we can find consensus and compromise. Unfortunately in the last several decades that capacity has been lost.

Our problems will not be fixed until we talk about them and admit we have problems.

Two very comfortable men😍👍

"All currencies have gone to zero" EXCEPT gold and silver. We DO have policies for migration. They are being circumvented at the highest levels currently however.

I agree with everything EvG says, but I would put energy as first factor. Living standards will be lowered and the world population will fall radically when energy becomes scarce and expensive, probably in the 2nd half of this century.

what is it with Gold and men with grey hair. It needs to be an - “after i got wealthy i need a low vol asset and will keep talking up it’s future performance” thing. When did we a relatively low vol. asset outperform the high vol. Assets over a greater span of time? When? When? When? When? I hope this guest will deliver and don’t talk his hope book a lot (i got the asset and am overweight, so i hope for my predictions to meet reality)

I think gold should be revalued against all the debts on the planet. We should probably put it at 78 to 86,000 an ounce

I am very interested in having a conversation about immigration, class struggle etc. I promise to be respectful of all

In 2008 gold sold off with the market and everything else. I expect in the 18 months there will be another chance to buy gold like back in 2008.

Quadrillions of derivatives debt in the shadow banking system?!Holy sh*t 😮 I had no clue it’s that bad. I don’t see any good way out of this.

The people that are ill-prepared and find themselves with NO gold , and NO silver, will have to work for this new money , just like they did for "good for nothing" paper pieces , as they did before. Silver , instead of paper dollars ,will be paid to purchase fire-wood or food , for a job well done . Those that slack and don,t work will not get anything , but a small waist for his whole family. Work or provide a wanted / needed service in a good manner , for the new currency / money that you negotiate for the job at hand , or you will be left with no food , from those that grew it and those that prepared and lived on their own and not as a pariah on the government, that is now defunct. And when you think about stealing it from those that are selling or providing silver or barter items you will have a very short life indeed.

I hope he has a sufficient force to protect that vault in the mountains

Howe said the leaders will take us through the crisis, not that we will avert the crisis.

Millenials already having tantrums in the comments about gold because it’s been around for slightly longer then 1983 .

An experienced and level headed outlook on some well understood risks. What was the stuff about opening the door to Nazis in Argentina though? It is amazing how much greater the quantity of Nazis demanded is than the available supply. Is there any political opponent, anywhere, that isn’t a Nazi?

The Famine, War, Death and Economic Collapse Egon von Greyerz describes is right out of the Book Of Revelation Revelation 6 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

This gentleman has disconnected his economic reality perspective from his geopolitical reality perspective. If the current economic house of cards is going to collapse with 100% certainty, as he suggests, then we must look at geopolitical decisions through a different lens. Why would we make decisions that will attempt to save the current order? We must make decisions that put us in an advantageous post-collapse position. Those are radically different perspectives from which to make state decisions.
