In 2020, everything I thought I understood about the financial system was turned on its head. The markets crashed 34% almost overnight, then, just as suddenly, they soared back to record highs. Most people cheered the recovery. I asked: how is this even possible?
The answer floored me: over 20% of all U.S. dollars in existence had been printed that same year. That was the moment the curtain was pulled back. I realised we weren't just living through a crisis, we were witnessing the silent theft of purchasing power. That sparked an obsession to understand how the monetary system really works and how to protect wealth in a world where the rules were being rewritten in real time.
I was already active in the stock market, but that no longer felt like enough. The old playbook was broken. I began building a new framework, one rooted in sound money principles, historical cycles, and the rise of future-ready payment infrastructure. That led to the creation of what I now call the Gold Edge.
Following this framework over the past 5 years has enabled me to:
- Call gold at $1,650 (+110%)
- Call XRP at $0.40 (+750%)
- Call Stellar at $0.10 (+530%)
Outside of Gold Edge Consulting, I manage proprietary trading accounts and a private investment portfolio, focused on precious metals and digital assets with real-world utility.
My goal is to guide people through the end of the fiat era. Not just to preserve their wealth, but to give them the clarity, conviction, and strategic edge needed to thrive in whatever comes next.
