"Gold is the Ultimate Currency" - Bullion Banker Robert Gottlieb shares his lessons

In this episode of Reinvent Money, Paul Buitink speaks with legendary former bullion banker Robert (Bob) Gottlieb again about gold, silver, central-bank demand, and the recent volatility in the metals market. Bob explains how past silver squeezes, including the Hunt Brothers era and the 2011 Reddit rally, differ from today’s more fundamentally driven moves. He also discusses why central banks continue to accumulate gold, how leasing and vaulting work, and why London remains central to the global gold market. The conversation closes with practical insights for investors, emphasizing education, transparency, and patience in a rapidly changing geopolitical and monetary landscape.Bob's new initiative Watch Gold:https://watchgold.org/Buy Bob's book here:https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Gold-Silver-Markets-Legendary/dp/139438002XFollow Paul on X here:https://x.com/paulbuitinkTimestamps:0:00 Intro4:28 The Hunt brothers aftermath10:58 Parallels with 2011 silver price rally13:37 2026 silver rally and margin requirements15:35 Central banks' hunger for gold19:56 Turkey's gold sales25:30 Where central banks should store their gold27:45 Logistical challenges at Bank of England30:45 Central bank leasing of gold35:05 Gold clearing worldwide needs to be improved40:45 Robert's take on the current gold and silver market47:35 Outro
