“Why Gold” Series Part 3; Discussions with Thierry Arys Ruiz CEO & Founder of AgAu.io.
As part of the “Why Gold” series Part 3 we asked some questions to Mr. Ruiz to learn more about “why gold and why AgAu.io” to show how we are changing the current monetary system by bringing the new era of “The Digital Gold Standard”. We have compiled here the main thoughts and take away from our chat with our CEO.
Gold has been money since the beginning of history. It was a consensus reached by mankind. When we experience a monetary reset, we will need to return to those origins, the most likely outcome would be to go back to the gold standard albeit in an innovative and ground-breaking way, thus the new era of “The Digital Gold Standard”. The structural problems within the traditional financial and banking systems are becoming increasingly evident showing that the current monetary system is unsustainable.
“The problem began in 1931, with the departure of the Gold Standard with Roosevelt, and in 1971 under Nixon we departed temporarily from it and created a monster which is essentially the Fiat system, and the Fractional Reserve system.” Thierry Arys Ruiz CEO & Founder of AgAu.io
Precious metals such as Gold or Silver are a legitimate hedge against inflation but also the systemic failure of our current institutions. This pandemic might be the tipping point from where a great reset, including a monetary reset may unfold. As governments attempt to mitigate the effects of the self-inflicted lockdowns, budget deficits are at unprecedented levels and central banks react by issuing historic amounts of currency. Investors seeking refuge in gold against a complete collapse and a potential increase of inflation.
“Given what central banks are doing, by printing unlimited amounts of money and even distorting markets by buying financial assets … this creates systemic risk, and Gold is the perfect safe heaven against that systemic risk.” Thierry Arys Ruiz CEO & Founder of AgAu.io
Structural problems within the financial and traditional banking system are becoming increasingly evident and many players such as AgAu.io advocate for a Monetary Reset.
