Since Nayib Bukele became president of El Salvador, El Salvador has been in American media and global political discussion more than ever. While much of the attention focuses on Bukele’s mass incarceration of gang members and a decline in homicide of over 70%, Bukele has also drawn attention to his favoritism towards Bitcoin and how he has pushed El Salvador to embrace cryptocurrency.

JD and Joel discuss gold’s underrated new all-time high, silver nearing $30 per oz, higher-than-expected inflation, the Fed’s response, and why buyers today can expect to pay lower premiums.
