The U.S. Government and Federal Reserve are fighting against cash on many fronts. Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems "suspicious" or "unusual."
The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become "cashless" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years.
Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.Swiss America Economics Personal Finance Politics & Government

    Feb 26 2026
    Can you legally convert a 401(k) or IRA into physical gold?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos explain how Precious Metals IRAs work — including how investors can transfer retirement funds into physical gold and silver without triggering tax penalties.

    • How Gold IRAs are structured
    • Why there are no tax consequences when done properly
    • Liquidity inside retirement accounts
    • The difference between digital bank credits and tangible assets
    • Why diversification into precious metals remains relevant
    As global volatility, inflation, and debt levels rise, more investors are asking whether part of their retirement portfolio should be held in something real.

  • Will $63 Trillion Debt Push Gold as High as $10.000?

    Will $63 Trillion Debt Push Gold as High as $10.000?
    Feb 20 2026
    Is $10,000 gold by 2030 unrealistic — or inevitable? In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos break down Morningstar’s projection of a potential gold supercycle and examine the fiscal forces that may be driving it. With U.S. gross federal debt projected to rise from roughly $39 trillion to $63 trillion within the next decade — and annual deficits climbing toward $3 trillion — the structural pressure on the dollar is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. This episode covers: • Why short-term gold volatility doesn’t change long-term trajectories
    • The difference between crypto speculation and physical gold stability
    • How rising deficits impact currency strength
    • Comparisons to World War II debt levels
    • Why deficit growth of 50% matters
    • The math behind a potential gold supercycle Dean and Chris explain why gold has historically outperformed conservative forecasts — and why long-term fiscal trends may matter more than daily price swings. Is $10,000 gold hype… or arithmetic? 👉 Hear Chris & Dean on THE SECRET WAR ON CASH
