Ok, there is a LOT to unpack here, but I’ll walk you through it step by step and I think it will blow your mind by the time we get to the end.
What I’m about to show you is an incredible clip from Tom Bilyeu’s show, Impact Theory, where he had Arthur Hayes on as a guest and he absolutely blew my mind explaining how and why President Trump may “revalue” the Gold we hold on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and how overnight that would basically change the entire world.
And if finance and stuff like this is sometimes confusing or boring to you, just trust me this is anything but confusing or boring.
This could literally change the world power dynamics overnight, and change your life personally if you hold Gold. I’m not exaggerating at all.
First of all, let me tell you who these two gentlemen are in case you don’t know them, so you can understand why I value both of their opinions so highly.

Ok, so now that we’ve set the stage, let me explain a little bit about what they’re talking about.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury currently records its gold holdings at a statutory price of $42.2222 per fine troy ounce, a valuation that has remained unchanged since 1973.
Yes, $42/ounce! Those are 1973 dollars!
This book value is of course significantly lower than the current market price of gold, which fluctuates daily but is approximately around $2,640.60 per troy ounce right now.
This is where it gets a bit complex, but if the United States via President Trump and his incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Besson decided to revalue the price they carry gold at on the books, the difference from $42 to whatever number they revalue it at, basically gives them excess cash they can spend instantly on anything they want.
So revalue to $2,60o or $26,000 or even $40,000 …. there is nothing logistically stopping them from doing any of those.
And the larger you go, the stronger you make the USA and the more you outsource inflation to the rest of the world.
It’s literally a secret weapon that you just might expect someone like President Trump to pull out of his back pocket if he needs it!
I’ll show you the clip below, but then scroll down when you’re done watching to see how you can possibly get Gold for no money out of pocket! Yes, really. If this actually happens, and I’m not guaranteeing it will, but if this actually happens you are going to want to make sure you had some Gold before it rolls out! And I can help you with that.
Arthur Hayes does a better job explaining it than I ever could, so with that quick introduction from me, now listen to Arthur lay it all out in the video below. I’ve added captions to make it easier to watch and I will put the full transcript below:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Arthur Hayes:
Financial markets analyst Scott Besson is absolutely aware of how this works. And to the point about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, if you read the bill by Senator Loomis, she explicitly states, okay, how do I pay for this Bitcoin I want to buy? Well, I use the gold, I revalue it at a different level, and I spend the money.
And I’ll describe how that’s done in a second. So everyone’s kind of talking about the same thing. The United States has all this gold. It’s held at an artificially low price. And so, on an accounting basis, the U.S. Treasury unilaterally can decide what the value of gold is on the Fed’s balance sheet.
So, Scott Besson wakes up on January twenty-first and says, “Okay, I need to devalue the dollar by a lot. I’m going to say that gold is now worth five thousand dollars an ounce on my balance sheet.”
Now, for every thirty-eight hundred dollars of revaluation of gold on the balance sheet, it creates a debt—a credit—in the Treasury’s general account at the Fed of one trillion dollars. So tell me the amount of spending that you want to have without having to go to Congress, and I’ll tell you the gold price.
And that is what the Treasury can do without input from anyone else because the value of gold on the Fed’s balance sheet is under the complete purview of the Secretary of the Treasury.
And so, what happens? The U.S. says, “Okay, well, the gold is now, I don’t know, ten thousand dollars an ounce.” And so now, I’ve created a few trillion dollars of “gold dollars” that I can spend on whatever it is that Trump and his team want to spend money on.
So what have I done? The amount of gold hasn’t changed, but I’ve created a bunch more dollars in an accounting fashion, and I’m spending them into the global economy. So I’ve increased the amount of dollars in the world.
Gold price is the same. The gold quantity is the same. Therefore, I’ve devalued the dollar.
Now, versus every other country in the world, the dollar is much weaker through this gold channel. It’s weaker than the yuan, it’s weaker than the yen, and it’s weaker than the euro.
Those are the three: China, Japan, Germany—the three largest exporting countries. So if I am a manufacturer, and now the three major places where I would have located a facility are way more expensive to export to the world, I guess I’ve got to come to America and deal with Trump and his team because the dollar has now been devalued.
And guess what? Besson didn’t have to call a single foreign finance secretary or minister and discuss with them what he’s going to do or get them to agree. It happens automatically because now the U.S. government says gold is worth five, ten, fifteen thousand dollars an ounce.
How high could it go? Who knows? Luke Grohman, another financial analyst, has a chart—I don’t know where it is—and it’s the percentage of gold as a percentage of the amount of liabilities of the Fed in the 1980s versus today.
And so, they went back to where gold was as a percentage of the overall liability base. If you look at gold as an asset liability or the amount of dollars in existence, you would do about an X rise in gold.
Do I think that’s going to happen? I don’t. Who knows? Probably not. But that’s just instructive of where we’re going—from twenty-six hundred, twenty-seven hundred dollars an ounce to five, ten, fifteen, twenty thousand dollars an ounce.
And now, with these trillions of dollars, okay, if Trump really believes in Bitcoin and Bitcoin is the new hardest currency, and he wants to set up the United States to have the best balance sheet of any sovereign nation, then yes, he can use some of those trillions of dollars and go in the market and buy gold.
But he could also use it as tax breaks or cheaper health care or whatever it is they decide to do. But the best part is, it happens immediately. You don’t need congressional approval.
Your boys who are in charge of these departments can do this stuff unilaterally without talking to your foreign counterparts or anyone in the deep state who would sort of oppose what they’re doing.
So that’s why this talk about strategic Bitcoin reserve is nice. But what you really should be talking about is how—and this is the theory that I have, and I have my portfolio geared toward—there will be a massive devaluation of the dollar versus gold in the first half of 2025.
Tom Bilyeu:
Okay, and as an individual, if that happens, do I similarly benefit from that?
Arthur Hayes:
Does gold…? If you don’t own gold, there’s no impact. The dollar is weakened, okay, but it wasn’t like they did some crazy tariff or something else to get it there vis-à-vis another country.
It’s an accounting thing versus gold. So if you own gold, great. You’ve made a gain in fiat. If you don’t own gold, uh, you know, sorry, out of luck. You didn’t participate, but it’s not like your life has changed in any way, shape, or form.
Arthur Hayes:
Right, but the way that you’re talking about it… right, right, right. So, beef priced in dollars? No change. But I do hold gold, so if this were to happen, then it’s not just a magic trick on their balance sheet. This actually does impact the world.
It would impact the amount of dollars I have in gold.
Tom Bilyeu:
Correct. Very interesting. If they do this, will they just borrow against the gold that they have, or will they actually sell the gold to create the dollar?
Arthur Hayes:
No, that’s the beauty of it. There’s nothing. It’s literally because of how the economics work—the accounting flows in the government.
Gold’s at forty-two dollars an ounce now. Obviously, it’s about twenty-seven hundred dollars in the free market. So just going to where the spot price of gold is, that gets the government, I think, about seven hundred billion dollars of a credit.
So now, the Treasury has an account at the Federal Reserve called the Treasury General Account. That’s where government spending occurs. So when you pay the government salaries or they hand out your Social Security check or whatever, it comes from the Fed’s account—the Treasury account at the Fed.
Then it goes to the banking system, like JP Morgan and those sorts of banks. That’s how it flows.
So, number one, the U.S. government doesn’t need to sell any gold. All it says is, “I was saying gold is worth forty-two dollars an ounce. I now say it’s worth X.”
X could be five thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand dollars an ounce. And because I’ve now created all these dollars on an accounting basis—because now I have this massive credit with the Fed—I’ve just created a bunch of dollars, and I can spend them on whatever I want to spend them on.
So I’ve just created all these dollars out of thin air.
That’s why this is beautiful, because it requires no input from anyone else other than Scott Besson at the Treasury, who does what Trump says: “I need a weaker dollar. I need businesses coming back to America.”
He says, “Gotcha, buddy. Let me just do this real quick.” And now the dollar is the weakest currency out of all of our trading competitors.
And so now, companies on the margin are going to want to put their factory here and export—either sell stuff in America or export it around the world from America.
Tom Bilyeu:
And so when they say that they’re weakening the dollar, they specifically mean against gold as the benchmark?
Arthur Hayes:
Yes. And so, by transitive properties, it’ll weaken against the yuan, the euro, and the yen, because they have not moved their peg.
Tom Bilyeu:
Right.
Arthur Hayes:
Well, it’s not that. I’ve just created a bunch of dollars. Sorry, I used the wrong word. They also have an amount that they say: “An ounce of gold is this many yuan.”
And they’re not going to create more money based on whatever it is they think the price of gold should be, because they don’t have the reserve currency.
So China could do the same thing: “Okay, well, we think gold’s worth a hundred million yuan an ounce. We have all this yuan, and we can go spend it.” Great.
But you don’t have an inbuilt demand for your currency as much as you’re trying to do more trade bilaterally in your own currency. Great. But at the end of the day, the dollar is still, what, sixty-something percent of world trade or seventy percent, whatever it is.
So they have that demand for the currency.
So the U.S. can devalue more than any other country without suffering hyperinflation. If you think about the major trading partners of the U.S.—Germany, Japan, China—none of them are self-sufficient in hydrocarbons. The U.S. can be, if it wants to be.
None of them are self-sufficient in food. The U.S. can be, if it wants to be.
So the U.S. can go nuts with very inflationary policies that would be hyperinflationary in China, Japan, and Germany.
They cannot do what the U.S. can do, because they don’t have the same natural blessings as this fictional area we call America has.

Now let’s talk about what you can do RIGHT NOW to make sure you’re well positioned in case this happens….
I know what you might be thinking….I’m broke, I can’t afford to buy Gold or Silver right now….what can you do to stay safe?
That’s where I might just be able to surprise you.
There’s a good chance I can help you get gold with NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET!
Yes, really.
Keep reading below…
The question of “what can I do?” it’s really quite simple: you need to get some Gold or Silver in your own possession.
It’s called “physical” gold and silver.
Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn’t backed by anything.
Don’t touch that stuff.
And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have….
I have a special hook-up for you and it involves PHYSICAL gold and silver.
Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own “physical” gold and silver, not paper contracts.
The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they’re not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent.
It’s a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon…) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it’s literally written on.
And I know you’ll never forget it if I give you this GIF so….Let’s Get Physical:
Now…WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it’s real and safe?
And that you’re getting the best price?
Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service?
You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help?
That’s what I’m about to tell you.
I want to tell you about a company I’m very proud to work with called Genesis Gold.
They specialize in helping people purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts).
You know what the beauty of that is?
Two huge benefits actually…
First is TAX FREE baby!
I’m not a tax advisor, but that’s a general oversimplification.
Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay.
And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!).
Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won’t cost you anything! No money out of pocket!
BOOM!
You might actually be sitting on a big pile of money exposed to the stock market and not even realize it.
There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina!
They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel:
Here’s more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful:
You can contact Genesis Gold here.
They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance!
Tell ’em Noah sent ya!
Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself?
It’s true.
Superman himself, Clark Kent — Dean Cain — came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down:
Watch here:
Stay safe!
Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits!
Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn’t it?
As for me and my house, we will be ready. 💪
