Race Means Sacrificing the U.S. Dollar & Bond Market And That's Exactly What's Going To Happen! The United States is facing an existential choice, a choice so profound that it will determine the course of the 21st century. It is a choice between two paths, both of which lead to the same destination: a world where gold is re-monetized and the U.S. dollar is dethroned. On one path, the U.S. chooses to win the A.I. race against China. It chooses to reshore its manufacturing base, to rebuild its industrial capacity, and to invest the trillions of dollars necessary to maintain its technological and military supremacy. This is the path of inflation, of massive government spending, of a devalued dollar, and of a bond market that is sacrificed on the altar of national security. This path is very bullish for gold. The dollar will be sacrificed, through the printing of however many trillions it takes to fund the A.I. arms race, and gold will be the primary beneficiary of this currency debasement. On the other path, the U.S. chooses to preserve the value of its bond market. It chooses to maintain fiscal discipline, to prioritize the stability of the dollar, and to cede the A.I. race to China. This is the path of managed decline, of a deteriorating economy, of a weakened military, and of a world where the U.S. is no longer the supreme power. This path is also very bullish for gold. The decline of the U.S. empire will lead to a flight to safety, and gold will be the ultimate safe haven in a world of geopolitical chaos.This is the existential choice that the U.S. faces. And it is a choice that has already been made. The U.S. will not choose to lose the A.I. race, just as it chose to not lose the races to achieve the nuclear weapon, make it to the moon, or construct the world wide web. This is America we are talking about and they play to win. Whatever the costs. That’s the playbook. The U.S. will not choose to become a second-rate power. They will follow the playbook once again, and choose to win. And it will print whatever money is necessary to do so. And in doing so, it will unleash an eventual tidal wave of inflation that will send the price of gold to levels that are unimaginable today. The choice has already been made. President Trump has already directed the creation of the A.I. action plan roadmap. He is actively talking about winning the race. The U.S. government is directly and indirectly investing in A.I. already. The reality is the die is cast. And the only question that really remains is how high the price of gold will go.Let’s Dig Into The Following: The A.I. race is not just a technological competition; it is an industrial competition. It is a race to build the data centers, the power grids, and the supply chains that will power the A.I. economy of the future. We have the semiconductor chips in ample supply. We don’t have the infrastructure and supply chains. These are not things the Fed can print, but they can print the currency to acquire them. This race is incredibly inflationary! The Superman 2 movie choice where Superman willingly gives up his superpowers and then gets beat up in a diner and can’t stop General Zod from taking over the earth. This is the alternative to winning the A.I. race. It is to lose it. It is to cede the future of technological superiority to China, to become a second-rate power, and to watch as the U.S. is surpassed in every metric of national power. Think they will willingly make this choice? The U.S. has run a massive current account deficit for decades. It has offshored its manufacturing and its jobs, and in return, it has received cheap goods and recycled dollars. The rest of the world, and particularly China, has sent the U.S. real goods and services, and in return, they have received U.S. dollars, which they have then used to buy U.S. assets, primarily Treasury bonds. This is the system that has allowed the U.S. to live beyond its means for decades. But this system is now breaking down. The U.S. can no longer have it both ways. The must choose what they want. To understand what is coming, we need only look at the last time the U.S. faced an existential threat: World War II. During the war, the U.S. ran massive deficits, with the debt-to-GDP ratio reaching over 100%. The Fed capped interest rates, and the U.S. government inflated away a significant portion of its debt. This is the playbook that the U.S. will be forced to follow in the coming years. The U.S. is now on a war footing. In a world where the U.S. is forced to choose between winning the A.I. race and preserving the bond market, there is only one safe haven left for investors to flee to: gold. If the U.S. chooses to win the A.I. race, which it has, it will print many trillions of dollars to make it happen and win, it will devalue the dollar, and it will have to inflate away its debt. Its a lock. Take this to the bank. This path is hyper-bullish for gold. So, let’s go…...
