In the realm of monetary policy, most ideas are either too dull to notice or too radical to entertain. But what if the most radical idea, the one of revaluing US gold reserves to $40,000 an ounce, is already being prepared behind the scenes?
This is not an exercise in economic fantasy. In May, the Federal Reserve quietly published a 202-page accounting manual detailing how to monetize gold certificates. At a glance, it looks like bureaucracy. In reality, it reads like a procedural roadmap to a historic monetary reset. If the Treasury were to revalue its 260 million ounces of gold from the current $42.22 book value to $40,000, it could effectively generate $10 trillion. All without issuing a dollar of new debt.
This is the subject of our latest GoldCoreTV episode: "$40,000 Gold: The Final Reset Has Already Begun." It is a forensic exploration of a system that appears to be preparing for its own reinvention.
The episode examines what such a move would signal. It would be a tacit admission that the post-1971 fiat experiment is nearing its expiry. This reset is not unfolding in isolation. It is taking place amid a storm of geopolitical and economic upheaval. The dollar’s status as the global reserve currency is being undermined from two directions: external challengers such as the BRICS, and internal contradictions within the United States itself.
While Washington launches tariffs to revive domestic industry, it also depends on a strong dollar to maintain global dominance. This contradiction cannot hold. Gold may become the only workable escape route.
Even that path carries risk. A revaluation could create a brief illusion of prosperity. Analysts call this the “inflation lag.” During that window, gold prices would surge, encouraging holders to cash out. But by the time the inflation wave crests, it may be too late to re-enter. Fiat will have done its damage. Gold, once surrendered, may be lost for good.
This video is not investment advice. It is an examination of what happens when monetary orthodoxy collides with its own limits.
Watch the full episode now and judge for yourself.
If this is the end of the beginning, then gold is no longer just an asset. It is the lifeboat.
