As inflation pressures mount and Washington racks up record debt, a growing number of Americans are quietly rethinking their definition of “safe money.” That’s the focus of The Crest Report, a new podcast on the GoldenCrest Metals YouTube Channel, where radio veteran Tim Conway Jr. sits down with Rich Jacoby, founder of GoldenCrest Metals, to cut through the noise of modern markets.
Each week, Conway and Jacoby pull back the curtain on how monetary policy, geopolitical tension, and central bank decisions are reshaping the value of the U.S. dollar—and why physical gold and silver continue to emerge as a cornerstone of long-term wealth preservation.
Inflation, Interest Rates, and the Rise of Real Assets
The conversation begins where most mainstream coverage stops: the unintended consequences of decades-long money printing and artificially low interest rates.
In an era where investors once trusted 401(k)s and mutual funds to carry them through retirement, today’s volatility has changed the calculus. The Crest Report examines why the Federal Reserve’s balancing act between inflation control and growth has left savers searching for stability—and how tangible assets like gold and silver are filling that void.
“People are realizing their dollars buy less every year,” Jacoby explains in a recent episode. “Gold isn’t about speculation—it’s about protection. It’s about holding something the government can’t print.”
A Generational Shift in Wealth Protection
One of the most striking themes across recent episodes is the generational realignment in investment behavior. Younger investors, once enamored with tech stocks and cryptocurrencies, are now exploring physical metals as a counterbalance to digital volatility.
Meanwhile, retirees—many of whom watched two major market corrections in less than 20 years—are diversifying out of paper assets entirely. The Crest Report dissects this movement with real-world examples, economic data, and market insights rarely discussed on cable business networks.
Why Physical Gold and Silver Still Matter
Beyond market headlines, The Crest Report underscores a fundamental truth: hard assets have outlasted every financial experiment in history. From Rome’s denarius to modern fiat currency, gold’s intrinsic value remains constant even as global systems evolve.
Each episode dives into the mechanics of precious metals ownership—covering IRA rollovers, storage options, and tax implications—with the aim of educating rather than selling. The tone is practical, data-driven, and refreshingly skeptical of the same institutions that tell investors “everything’s fine.”
