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 個人ファイナンス 政治・政府 経済学

  • Michael Burry Sees a $3 Trillion AI Risk Wall Street May Be Missing

    Michael Burry Sees a $3 Trillion AI Risk Wall Street May Be Missing
    2026/09/24
    Artificial intelligence could become one of the most important technologies in modern history.

    It could also produce one of the largest investment bubbles.

    In Episode 307 of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos of Swiss America Trading examine warnings from Michael Burry and Ray Dalio about the financial structure developing underneath the AI boom.

    Burry has raised concerns about roughly $3 trillion in commitments associated with major hyperscalers including Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle.

    Many of those commitments involve future leases, infrastructure projects, data centers and other spending that may not appear on corporate balance sheets in the same way as conventional debt.

    That creates a potentially important timing mismatch.

    AI technology can evolve dramatically within 12 to 18 months.

    Major data centers may require three to five years to plan and construct.

    Companies may therefore be committing enormous amounts of capital to infrastructure designed for a technology that can change significantly before the buildings are even completed.

    The conversation then turns to Ray Dalio.

    Dalio argues that AI may ultimately deliver enormous productivity gains while still producing a speculative bubble.

    Transformative technology does not automatically make every associated investment attractive at every valuation.

    The internet changed the world, but many dot-com companies still failed.

    AI could follow a similar path.

    The episode also explores the effect on workers and consumers if AI dramatically increases productivity while reducing employment in certain fields.

  • The Dollar Is in 89% of FX Trades. So Why Is BRICS Moving Away From It?

    The Dollar Is in 89% of FX Trades. So Why Is BRICS Moving Away From It?
    2026/09/22
    The U.S. dollar remains the dominant currency in global foreign-exchange markets.

    So why does de-dollarization continue to attract so much attention?

    In Episode 306 of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos of Swiss America Trading examine China’s upcoming role as BRICS chair in 2027 and what it could mean for efforts to increase local-currency trade among member countries.

    The conversation then turns to a headline declaring that the U.S. dollar accounts for approximately 89% of the global forex market.

    That statistic sounds overwhelming, but there is an important technical detail.

    A foreign-exchange transaction always contains two currencies.

    The Bank for International Settlements therefore counts the currency on each side of a trade. As a result, percentages for all currencies add up to roughly 200%, not 100%.

    The dollar was on one side of 89.2% of global FX trades in April 2025. The euro appeared on 28.9%, the Japanese yen on 16.8%, and the Chinese renminbi on 8.5%.

    Those figures confirm that the dollar remains deeply entrenched in the global financial system.

    But dollar dominance and de-dollarization can occur simultaneously.

    The dollar can remain the most important international currency while individual countries gradually increase local-currency settlement, build alternative payment systems or diversify portions of their reserves.

    The key question is not whether the dollar disappears overnight.

    It is whether its share of global finance gradually erodes over many years.

  • Could AI Data Centers Send Your Natural Gas Bill Higher?

    Could AI Data Centers Send Your Natural Gas Bill Higher?
    2026/09/18
    Artificial intelligence may be digital, but the infrastructure powering it is very physical.

    In Episode 305 of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos of Swiss America Trading examine the enormous energy requirements behind America’s rapidly expanding AI data-center industry.

    The article discussed in the program forecasts that U.S. data centers could eventually consume extraordinary quantities of natural gas as companies build the computing infrastructure needed to train and operate advanced AI systems.

    Natural gas offers advantages because it is comparatively inexpensive and can provide reliable electricity generation.

    But increased demand creates another question.

    What happens to natural-gas prices when data centers begin consuming dramatically more fuel?

    Dean and Chris discuss the potential impact on ordinary consumers, including households that rely on natural gas for winter heating.

    The conversation then shifts from AI’s economic cost to its potential technological risk.

    President Donald Trump has publicly pushed back against calls for slowing AI development, emphasizing the importance of America maintaining its lead over China.

    Dean and Chris understand the strategic argument. If the United States deliberately slows development while international competitors continue advancing, America could surrender technological leadership in one of the most consequential technologies of the century.

    But the hosts also discuss warnings coming from technology leaders themselves.

    Executives and researchers at leading AI companies have acknowledged that capabilities are advancing rapidly and that safety, monitoring and alignment systems must continue improving alongside them.

    The issue is therefore not simply whether AI development should continue.

    The harder question is how quickly it should proceed, how it should be monitored and who should be responsible for making sure increasingly powerful systems remain under meaningful human control.
