The Current Monetary System Is Based On a Lie
Matthew Piepenberg

VON GREYERZ partner, Matthew Piepenburg, is pleased to share a lengthy but all-encompassing and deeply substantive conversation had in mid-December with GoldRepublic’s Alexej Jordanov.

In this patient deep dive, Piepenburg gives his blunt insights on the macroeconomic setting, carefully addressing all the core themes affecting our lives and finances, from global debt markets, geopolitical brinksmanship, the bubble danger in risk asset markets, and the growing tide of fiat money debasement to the rise of gold pricing/interest and the ever-evolving but ever-controversial “gold vs. BTC” saga.

For Piepenburg, each of the foregoing themes takes its direction from the ripple-effect consequences of a global marketplace quantifiably over its skis in historically unprecedented (and unconscionable) debt levels. The weight of such debt is now openly and equally unsustainable, as is the many-decade lie from policymakers that such debt figures could/can be sustained by, alas, more debt…

In short, the “jig is up,” and the lie that nations can monetize their debt with mouse-clicked “money” without destroying currencies, inflating asset bubbles (and wealth inequality) to a breaking point or pushing gold to all-time highs is becoming increasingly clear to citizens (and precious metal investors) around the world.

Again, this is a thorough and hence lengthy conversation, but well worth the time for those seeking to put global financial conditions into sober perspective.

Matthew Piepenburg, Commercial Director at Matterhorn Asset Management and co-founder of SignalsMatter.com, has extensive experience in alternative investments, law, and finance, with particular expertise in managed futures, credit and equity investing. He also has years of experience researching, evaluating and investing in alternative investments: hedge funds, private equity vehicles, VC and real estate. Matthew Piepenburg's skills include asset allocation, portfolio management and macro economic analysis. He has written numerous white papers on the long-term distortions of central bank policies here and abroad. He has guest lectured at numerous family office forums, law firms and universities, including Georgetown, Brown, Harvard and Cal State. Matthew Piepenburg is also a published author and regular contributor to The Good Men Project and the author of the Amazon No1 New Release “Rigged to Fail,” which bluntly details the systemic and structural flaws behind central-bank distorted capital markets. 

All of these combined monetary distortions are directly responsible for the staggering level of currency debasement ignored in plain sight by a majority of policy makers and investors, which is why Matthew is committed to informing of, as well as addressing solutions to, these systemic fault-lines in the global system. Toward this end, all rivers flow toward precious metals as currency insurance (hence Matterhorn role in Zurich) as well as sober yet actively managed portfolio construction (hence the SignalsMatter service).
