Donald Trump at CPAC
Vs Greenspan:
Alan Greenspan “I view gold as the primary global currency“. (while warning of the a collapse in the Euro)

There are increased threats to the international monetary system from the United States, France, UK, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Russia and China (building its own system, AIIB, CISP, BRICS etc.)
These threats, however, are less likely to result in a global reset but rather regionalization or increased dollar dominance and/or a greater role for gold.
