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

  • Is the AI Boom the Next Dot-Com Bubble?

    Is the AI Boom the Next Dot-Com Bubble?
    Feb 13 2026
    From California’s controversial Super Bowl tax to unprofitable AI startups, are we seeing economic distortion build again?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze two major trends shaping today’s financial landscape:

    • AI startups burning cash without profits
    • Comparisons to the dot-com bubble
    • Crypto volatility parallels
    • Investor risk vs tangible value
    • California’s “duty-day” tax on Super Bowl players
    • High-tax state migration trends
    With speculative capital flowing into AI companies that have never generated profits — and state governments stretching tax policy in creative ways — this episode asks a larger question:
    Are we repeating past mistakes?
    Dean and Chris explain why fundamentals matter more than buzzwords — and why investors should distinguish hype from sustainable value.

  • Is China Taking a Hammer to the U.S. Dollar?

    Is China Taking a Hammer to the U.S. Dollar?
    Feb 11 2026
    Is China accelerating the global move away from the U.S. dollar?
    In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin, President & CEO of Swiss America, and co-host Chris Agelastos examine reports that China has instructed state-run banks to reduce exposure to U.S. Treasuries — formalizing a trend that has been building for years.
    At the same time:
    • The U.S. added $132 billion to the national debt in a single month
    • Total national debt approaches historic levels
    • The U.S. Dollar Index has weakened significantly
    • BRICS nations continue diversifying reserves into gold
      Even Wall Street voices, including the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, have warned that America’s borrowing trajectory is unsustainable.
      Dean and Chris break down:
      • Why China’s Treasury reduction matters now more than ever
      • How BRICS alignment changes the scale of de-dollarization
      • Why this may not be a sudden collapse — but a steady erosion
      • What “unsustainable” borrowing means in practical terms
      • Why central banks are increasing gold reserves
      • How dollar weakness impacts inflation and purchasing power
        This episode explores the difference between panic and repositioning — and why sovereign-level capital movement tells a bigger story than headlines alone.
        If global confidence in the dollar continues to erode, the implications could extend far beyond currency markets.

  • Why BRICS Now Control Half the World’s Gold

    Why BRICS Now Control Half the World’s Gold
    Feb 5 2026
    Countries around the world are selling U.S. Treasuries—and buying gold. In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos analyze a major financial shift as BRICS nations continue dumping dollar-denominated assets in favor of physical gold. Brazil’s sale of $61 billion in U.S. Treasuries is just the latest example of a broader trend reshaping global reserves. The discussion explores:
    • Why central banks and governments are abandoning U.S. debt
    • How BRICS now control over half of global gold supply
    • Why sanctions and financial weaponization are accelerating de-dollarization
    • What surging U.S. debt means for the dollar’s future
    • Why gold has dramatically outperformed cash and Treasuries
    • What happens if global confidence in the dollar breaks
    This episode offers a clear, grounded look at sovereign-level financial behavior—and why gold is becoming the preferred asset in an increasingly unstable monetary system. 👉 Hear Chris & Dean on THE SECRET WAR ON CASH
