Adam Dubove, cofounder and director of financial consulting firm Ichimoku Fibonacci, contends that the FTX failure does not represent a cryptocurrencies failure. However, he believes the US government will use the company’s failure as an excuse to add new regulations to allegedly protect the victims and create a false sense of security.

Dubove, who has written for the PanAm Post, Cointelegraph, and others, explains that there is an ongoing debate in US Congress regarding crypto regulation. He claims that US congressmen can take a proregulation or procryptocurrencies approach, but in the meantime people are still free to use their preferred cryptocurrency.

Peter Hartley, Rice University professor and scholar of energy economics at the Baker Institute, contends that the main reason for rising retail energy prices is an emphasis on so-called green or renewable energy and its political popularity. He explains that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbated a preexisting trend.

Hartley, who has worked on energy economics issues for 35 years, makes the case for nuclear energy by arguing that countries with more nuclear energy have lower energy prices. In contrast, he explains how wind and solar energy correlate with higher prices. Despite this, wind and solar energy are more popular among the population due to a romanticization of renewables.

When it comes to sound money, trader and financial educator Tone Vays argues bitcoin is the most robust among cryptocurrencies. Its unrivaled decentralization and security properties make bitcoin resistant to censorship, confiscation, and manipulation.

Tone, who worked on Wall Street for 10 years prior to discovering bitcoin, sees gold and other precious metals as wealth protection and potential trades, rather than long-term investments because they resist inflation but pay no dividend. In contrast, he believes bitcoin will gain value over time and be the one asset that people can use across borders, once central-bank digital currencies become mainstream.

Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter, discusses the end-of-year issue, which includes a review of financial events, transcripts from the 2022 New Orleans Investment Conference (NOIC), and other high-value exclusive content. In this episode, Lundin also shares his insights regarding the implications of future Federal Reserve policies, the influence Wall Street traders have in financial markets, and the future of the gold and silver markets.

For Lundin, in 2023, the US economic scenario will consist of relatively high inflation—between 4 and 6 percent—and easy-money policies issued by the Fed. Lundin foresees financial trends will be bearish for stocks and bonds and bullish for precious metals.
