2 SEP 2026 · When most people hear “digital assets,” they think of Bitcoin's price, wild volatility, meme coins, and speculation. But while the public has been watching the prices, a much larger transformation has been unfolding beneath the surface.
In episode 517, economist and investor Jerry Robinson pulls the camera back to examine five forces quietly reshaping money and markets: digital dollars are going global, traditional assets are moving on-chain, Wall Street is entering the market, governments are finally writing the rules, and AI may be getting its own economy.
This is not an episode about chasing the latest token or predicting short-term prices. It is an educational look at the financial infrastructure being built, the opportunities it may create, and the risks thoughtful investors should not ignore.
Jerry also shares his latest market insights and closes with an invitation to his free educational webinar, Following the Future: Three Trends Reshaping Our World, taking place Wednesday, September 9, at 11:00 a.m. Central.

19 AUG 2026 · America's national debt is closing in on $40 trillion, but Jerry Robinson says the debt total itself may not be the biggest warning.
The real story is the rising cost of financing it.
Recent Treasury auctions have produced the highest 10-year and 30-year auction yields in decades as investors demand greater compensation to lend Washington money. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department is doubling certain long-term debt buybacks, a move Jerry explains is debt reshuffling, not debt reduction.
In this episode, Jerry examines what persistent long-term rates could mean for mortgages, businesses, stocks, government finances, and American households.
Then, in our Market Insights segment, Jerry examines an S&P 500 sitting near record highs with record corporate profit margins, but increasingly stretched market breadth. He also discusses the weakening U.S. dollar, improving gold prices, record-high copper, oil and the depleted Strategic Petroleum Reserve, plus his outlook for Bitcoin and Ethereum heading toward October.

5 AUG 2026 · America’s national debt is rapidly approaching $40 trillion, while the federal government is projected to spend roughly $7.4 trillion this fiscal year.
There is no pandemic, no economic depression, and no declared world war. Yet Washington continues operating as though the country is facing a permanent emergency.
In Episode 515, economist Jerry Robinson asks a basic question: What are Americans getting for all this money?
Social Security remains exposed. Healthcare consumes trillions while producing disappointing outcomes. Educational achievement is slipping. American families are under increasing financial pressure. Meanwhile, Washington continues finding money for wars of choice, foreign commitments, corporate subsidies, and politically connected interests.
Jerry argues that America’s central problem is not a lack of money. It is a crisis of priorities, stewardship, and accountability.
Later, in Market Insights, Jerry explains what the approaching $40 trillion debt burden could mean for Treasury yields, bonds, inflation, the U.S. dollar, gold, stocks, retirement income, and household financial planning.
In this episode:
- Why trillion-dollar deficits have become Washington’s normal operating model
- What the national debt reveals about America’s priorities
- The looming Social Security funding challenge
- Why America spends so much on healthcare but receives poor results
- The financial and moral costs of wars of choice
- What rising government debt could mean for interest rates
- Why gold and productive assets may matter in a debt-heavy era
- Practical steps households can take to prepare without panicking
The national debt is serious, but fear is not a financial plan. Stay informed, remain diversified, and keep your own financial priorities in order. Visit FollowtheMoney.com for Jerry Robinson’s latest market insights, investing tools, trading education, and membership resources.
