What Gold and Silver Are Telling Us About Money

Dec 23, 2025, 4:25 pm GMT

2025 has been a remarkable year for gold and silver. Record prices, heavy demand and growing public interest have forced even long-time sceptics to pay attention.

In this conversation, we look at why this year felt different and why the move in precious metals has not been driven by speculation alone. We discuss how inflation is being felt at a personal level, why trust in the monetary system is under pressure and why more people are reassessing what it means to truly own their wealth.

We explore the idea of proximity to assets, the difference between owning something outright and owning a claim within the financial system and why gold and silver are increasingly viewed as a way to step outside that structure.

The discussion also looks at the growing role of central banks de-dollarisation and why gold is now a larger share of global reserves than government bonds. On silver, we examine its dual role as both a monetary metal and a critical industrial material and why physical supply is becoming more important than paper promises.

This is not a prediction driven by price targets. It is a conversation about trust, control supply and why so many people are rethinking money as we head into 2026.
