Bond Destruction, Banking Waste and the Tilt Toward CBDC

By Matthew Piepenburg

In this extensive and now English-translated, interview with Jan Kneist of Investor Talk, Matterhorn Asset Management principal, Matthew Piepenburg, addresses the critical themes of the ongoing banking crisis. In this substantive, 21-minute conversation, Piepenburg squarely addresses the ripple effects and larger implications of the current banking crisis, namely:

1) its bond crisis origins;

2) the ultimate pretext for (and direction toward) political and financial centralization culminating in CBDC;

3) increasing consolidation away from the smaller banks toward larger banks;

4) the nearly inconceivable waste behind the Credit Suisse bailout;

5) the percolating and equally inconceivable dangers within the derivative markets;

6) the collapse of trust in the USD as evidenced by the rise of the BRICS; and, of course,

7) the growing importance and role of gold in a world heading inevitably toward more centralized controls and currencies.

As Piepenburg has warned and repeated throughout 2022 and 2023, all debt-soaked systems inevitably resort to desperate measures and greater controls, of which currency debasement and increased centralization, symbolized by the drift toward CBDC, is no surprise or exaggeration.
