About this listen

 In this deep-dive episode of Basis Points, Erin and Jason tackle one of the most urgent yet misunderstood topics in the financial world — the future of the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. With trademark wit and clarity, they unpack the economic forces at play, from unsustainable national debt and government spending to gold hedging, Bitcoin, and the potential rise of BRICS currencies. They break down the history behind Bretton Woods, Nixon’s gold shock, and why Japan dumping U.S. treasuries might be more than just a headline. If you're wondering how global trust in the dollar affects mortgage rates, inflation, and your own portfolio — this is the episode for you. Plus, don’t miss updates from the recent TMA convention and a sneak peek at the upcoming Texas Housing Summit in Austin.
