Michael Howell: MASSIVE LIQUIDITY CRISIS closer than you think. Which ASSETS will PROTECT you?

from Macroscopic Podcast · host GoldRepublic

Michael Howell, CEO of CrossBorder Capital and author of Capital Wars, breaks down why global liquidity—not interest rates—drives markets, and warns of a looming $70 trillion debt refinancing wall that could trigger a systemic financial crisis between 2025–2028. We dive into the real cause behind every market crash, the growing collateral shortage, and the capital war between the U.S. and China, including how gold and Bitcoin could emerge as the ultimate winners. 🏆 GET ONE FREE GRAM OF GOLD by opening an account at GoldRepublic : 👉 ⁠⁠https://qrco.de/Macroscopic_1Gram⁠⁠ 📲 Download the GoldRepublic app: - Google Play: ⁠⁠https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goldrepublic⁠⁠ - Apple Store: ⁠⁠https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/goldrepublic/id475643876⁠⁠ 🟠 Buy and store physical allocated gold, silver and platinum. 👉 Open an account: https://bit.ly/38stf7p​ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent.
