THE FUSE IS LIT: RISING RATES WILL TRIGGER A FINANCIAL RESET! -Bill Holter

Mr. Gold Bill Holter warns rising rates will trigger a financial reset
Bill Holter sat with Greg Hunter and treated the yield spike like a fuse, not a policy tweak.

Every prior bubble in his history book died the same way. Easy credit. Tightening. Wealth effect in reverse. 1920s. Early 1970s. 1987 after rates ran from 7 percent to over 10 percent.

Emerging markets in the early 1990s. Long Term Capital in 1998. Dot com. 2008.
“All you have to do is look at a chart of bond yields and you’ll see that each time yields spiked, those bubbles popped.” This time is bigger.

“Right now, interest rates are spiking, and this is the biggest bubble. This is the everything bubble. Everything is in a bubble. The only things that are not in a bubble are gold and silver because they are real money.”

Then the title line. “Higher rates, that’s what is going to blow everything up, higher rates.”

He reads gold and silver as a risk price on the debt stack, not a fashion trade. Countries are leaving the dollar because they do not want to be trapped in paper issued by “an insolvent bankrupt entity.”

Rates can slump again if the real economy skids. That dip is not safety. It is the next chapter of the same math.  The reset, in his telling, is not a speech and a new logo.
“The reset is not a pushed button until the very, very end. That very, very end is going to be a weekend where you go to bed Friday and things look normal, and on Monday morning, the whole world will have changed.”

Rising rates have happened hundreds of times. That is not the reset. “The reset is when those rising rates affect the existing debt in the system, and that debt fails and collapses.”

Add derivatives and it becomes “a wipeout of the population’s wealth.” He ties that wipeout to the Great Taking. Laws on the books since 2014, he says, let brokers, banks, and insurers grab client assets to save the firms. “What does that do to the population? The population becomes penniless. If you are not protecting yourself, you are going to get swept up in the wave of the Great Reset.

”Digital money is the control layer. Holter says the Deep State wants the ledger closed so nothing sits outside the switch. Gold and silver are not a lottery ticket. They are purchasing power and an off switch. “If you lose 50%, you have to make 100% to get back to break even. This is not going to be a time that you lose 50% and then things will start going back up again.”

When the debt breaks, the system breaks. “If you have counterparties between you and your capital, you are going to lose your capital.” How much metal? “Put in what you don’t want to lose.”

Then the line stackers will paste. “Gold and silver are the only money on the planet that cannot bankrupt in a world that is bankrupting.”

Hold that mindset since 2000, he says, and you beat the S&P and the Dow with “zero default risk.” “When you bought gold, you got the biggest return and took the lowest risk.”

SilverTrade’s takeaway is the same sentence Holter hung on the door. The everything bubble lives on borrowed time. Higher rates are how the clock runs out. Own what cannot default. Do not leave a counterparty holding the key.
