Ronnie Green of Alpine Gold Exchange breaks down how precious metals can function as spendable, digital money—not just a long-term store of value. He explains Alpine’s approach to helping people buy, hold, and transact in U.S.-minted gold and silver, including practical use cases that make metals feel as frictionless as modern payment apps.
The conversation addresses why many people—especially younger generations—no longer view gold as money, and how that gap in understanding has grown alongside ongoing fiat currency depreciation. Ronnie compares gold’s stability to crypto’s volatility, sharing where blockchain technology is compelling and where it still falls short for wealth preservation, transaction costs, and reliability.
Ronnie outlines the core advantages that drive adoption: liquidity, privacy, and everyday usability, plus the tax and structural considerations that can make U.S.-minted coinage materially different from bullion or crypto when used for transactions. The episode closes with a grounded framework for newcomers: lead with education, understand risk tolerance, study alternative assets and “debasement trades,” and build a diversified plan that aligns with where you want to be in 10 years.
