IMO his passion is to make a buck. He goes through that long, pitch talking about how this is sooooo important he's going to give everyone his different ways to make and maintain their wealth for FREE, then at the end of his pitch what he really wants to see is more subscribers to his newsletter.
Just because I agree with most of what he says isn't to say I can't see through what that video Rickards did is doing. It's a sales pitch plain and simple.
P.S.: Yes, he could have asked for everyone to send him two ounces of physical silver which wouldn't be too far off his $50 subscription ask price. It certainly would have made his pitch more credible, after all his main claim was the CASH dollar would be going away very soon.
