How an Ignored Constitution Foresaw a Tragic Endgame

March 30, 2026

From the Founding Fathers to the great monetary thinkers of history, the message has remained unchanged: when money is no longer anchored to something real, it is ultimately debased.

In this clip, Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, explores the slow death of constitutional money, the warnings we chose to ignore, and why gold remains as relevant today as it was centuries ago.

And yet, since the United States abandoned gold in 1971, the consequences have been both predictable and profound. A system once designed to protect citizens from the excesses of government has gradually evolved into one that enables those very excesses.

Today, with debt at unprecedented levels, currencies under pressure, and trust in financial systems eroding, the question is no longer if the system will be repriced – but how far it will go.

Are you ready to take the next step to protect your loved ones? Watch Matthew’s latest clip to learn everything you need to know about the current monetary cycle and its inevitable conclusion.

Matt began his finance career as a transactional attorney before launching his first hedge fund during the NASDAQ bubble of 1999-2001

Thereafter, he began investing his own and other HNW family funds into alternative investment vehicles while operating as a General Counsel, CIO and later Managing Director of a single and multi-family office. Matthew worked closely as well with Morgan Stanley’s hedge fund platform in building a multi-strat/multi-manager fund to better manage risk in a market backdrop of extreme central bank intervention/support. The conviction that precious metals provides the most reliable and longer-term protection against potential systemic risk led Matt to join VON GREYERZ.
