31 Aug Goldbacks: The Rise of Sound Money Interview With Gary Barsdorf of Alpine Gold

I recently visited Alpine Gold Exchange in Alpine, Utah (outside of Salt Lake City), and had the opportunity to inspect and purchase Goldbacks for the first time, fractional gold at an affordable price. Perfect for spending amongst the growing list of local vendors accepting this fantastic approach to an ever-fading and diminishing dollar.

Gary Barsdorf of Alpine Gold joined me for a detailed interview about Goldbacks.

Filmed August 26, 2026, in Alpine, Utah.
