Willem Middelkoop was a journalist until 2008, but he always had a good feel for financial markets.
Back in the 1990s for example, he bought as many as eight properties in Amsterdam with no money down, capitalizing on falling interest rates as well as a booming expat rental market.
Later he became interested in gold and the monetary system, correctly predicting the financial crisis of 2008 in many of his more than 5,000 appearances on Dutch television.
In the same year, he founded the Commodity Discovery Fund for high net worth clients. The fund specializes in gold and silver mining companies.
After writing “The Big Reset“ in 2013, he became intimately familiar with China and its quest to dominate the global gold market.
A Chinese language version was published and he launched the book at the Chinese International Monetary Institute, a leading monetary think tank.
The Epoch Times spoke to Middelkoop about China’s plan to accumulate gold and store it with the people, as well as their end-game for the reform of the financial system.
