🤖 AI scams go mainstream

Deepfakes, voice cloning and AI avatars made fake identities cheaper, faster and more convincing than ever

🤔 Arthur Hayes: why gold is not in a bubble

Hayes says gold is still early, not overheated. The main buyers are central banks, not retail. Countries are selling US Treasuries, buying gold, and even settling trade imbalances in gold.Retail mania is absent. Gold ETFs like GLD show no speculative surge. If this were a bubble, retail would already be piling in. Central banks don’t care about price. After 2008 money printing and 2022 asset freezes, trust in the dollar system cracked. Gold became the neutral reserve again

Gold isn’t peaking. Trust in fiat is 🎧

🥵 Peter Schiff: A crisis bigger than 2008 is coming

Schiff says the U.S. is heading toward a severe financial crisis driven by exploding debt, chronic deficits, a weakening dollar, and rising inflation. Gold and silver hitting record highs are early warning signals, not bubbles. Central banks are dumping dollars and U.S. Treasuries in favor of gold, while consumer confidence collapses despite “strong” official data

In his view, the real bubble isn’t in gold or crypto - it’s in the dollar and the U.S. economic model itself 😂
