Gold Isn’t Money - And Why That Terrifies Central Banks

Gold and silver are not money, not because they’re outdated or volatile, but because the fiat system cannot afford to let them be. From Bretton Woods to Basel III, the story of modern money has been one of deliberate exclusion. Soundmoney is too stable, too finite, and too revealing to be allowed back into circulation.
In this episode, Jan Skoyles presents a wide-ranging discussion on why governments continue to demonise precious metals, even as central banks quietly accumulate them in record volumes. She revisits Nixon’s 1971 "temporary" closure of the gold window, the rise of the petrodollar, and the mechanics of financial control that keep real assets sidelined while paper promises multiply.
Viewers will also hear how the BRICS nations, representing 40% of the world’s population, are rethinking the global order. Their rising gold reserves, discussions of a gold-backed trade currency, and escape from dollar dependence point to a system realigning beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Basel III has quietly elevated allocated gold to Tier 1 status, a signal that behind the scenes, gold never really left the stage.
Jan also examines the arrival of Central Bank Digital Currencies, not as innovation, but as consolidation. Programmable money designed for compliance, not autonomy. In contrast, physical gold and silver remain immune to surveillance, manipulation, and digital freeze commands.
Ultimately, this is a discussion about monetary integrity: what it means, why it matters, and why the current system regards it as a threat. For anyone wondering why the same institutions that dismiss gold are filling their vaults with it, this episode offers a timely explanation.
