When Europe Went Dark, Gold Still Worked: A Lesson in Real Resilience

At 12:35pm this week, major parts of Europe came to a standstill.
Power gone. Trains frozen. Payments offline. Communications… silent.

Spain, Portugal, parts of France—suddenly and without warning—were reminded of something we too often forget: the modern world depends entirely on systems that can fail.
This wasn’t just a blackout. It was a stress test.
And many failed it.
We rely on screens, networks, and digital infrastructure for nearly everything—especially our money. But what happens when those systems stop working? What would you still own?
That’s the question Jan Skoyles unpacks in this week’s GoldCore TV episode.
It’s not about panic—it’s about preparation.
In just a few minutes minutes, you’ll learn:

  • Why energy and payment systems are becoming more vulnerable
  • What cyber threats and political instability mean for investors
  • Why central banks are dramatically increasing their gold holdings
  • How physical gold and silver offer true, system-independent protection

At a time when trust in institutions, currencies, and even infrastructure is weakening, holding some of your wealth in tangible, physical assets just makes sense.
Gold and silver don’t rely on electricity. They’re not stored on a server.
They’re simple. Resilient. Time-tested.
That’s why we talk about getting your Exit Plan ready—because true wealth isn’t just about growth, it’s about continuity.
