Financial analyst Alasdair Macleod predicts that the current fiat currency system will collapse within the next 18 months, replacing it with a gold-backed monetary order.

Macleod argues that currencies are merely credit and that confidence in them is approaching a breaking point. He suggests that a return to a gold standard would require governments to restore credibility by holding sufficient gold reserves to meet potential redemptions and maintain public trust.

The collapse of the fiat system, Macleod warns, will bring about significant social stress as governments confront the impossibility of sustaining large welfare commitments under sound money. He advises individuals to prioritize protecting their existing wealth through ownership of physical gold, rather than attempting to increase it through further credit exposure.
