The Iran conflict isn't just a Middle East story — it's a financial war with consequences for every American's wallet.
In this episode of Bay Area Innovators, Steve Ispas sits down with Christian Briggs, CEO of Hard Asset Management, a 40-year veteran of global precious metals markets with deep expertise in geopolitics and economics.
Briggs explains how the conflict involving Iran could have far-reaching implications for energy markets, the U.S. dollar, and the balance of global power. The discussion explores the rise of the BRICS nations, China’s long-term economic strategy, and the growing push to move global trade away from the U.S. dollar.
The conversation also examines oil markets, digital currencies, rare earth resources, and why global economic influence increasingly depends on energy and financial infrastructure.
From the Strait of Hormuz to the future of centralized digital currencies, Briggs offers a broad perspective on how economics, politics, and national security are becoming more interconnected than ever.
