Sound Money Uprising Is Underway. Feat. Daniel Diaz

Andrew Maguire is a well-known figure in the precious metals industry, primarily recognised as a whistleblower and expert on gold and silver markets. With nearly 50 years of experience as a commodities trader, he has become a key voice on market manipulation in the precious metals sector, particularly within the COMEX (Commodity Exchange) markets.

As an independent Loco London metals trader and analyst, Maguire has delivered Precious Metals Advisory and Trading services to international hedge fund managers, bullion banks, metal traders, and some of the world’s largest financial institutions. His established relationships with regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), underscore his trusted role in the industry.

In 2010, Maguire brought global attention to silver market manipulation through a whistleblower testimony to the CFTC, cementing his reputation as a highly credible authority in the precious metals community.

Today, he continues to provide his insights into precious metals and financial markets as a regular commentator on the Live from the Vault podcast, where he explores trends and developments shaping the global financial landscape.

Daniel Diaz is the Executive Director of Citizens for Sound Money (C4SM), a leading advocacy organisation dedicated to restoring sound money principles in the United States. He is also CEO and co-founder of Mining Life LLC, based in Florida, which focuses on sustainable precious metals mining.

As a first-generation Cuban American, Daniel’s commitment to financial freedom is deeply personal, shaped by his family’s experiences with economic instability and government overreach in Cuba. These formative experiences fuel his passion for promoting policies that safeguard individual liberties through sound monetary systems.

With a background as a stockbroker and financial advisor, Daniel has a comprehensive understanding of the financial landscape. Initially sceptical about cryptocurrencies, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to explore blockchain technology and digital assets. Recognising their potential to revolutionise finance and enhance personal and political freedom, he embraced these innovations as tools for advancing sound money principles.

At C4SM, Daniel oversees all operations, strategic partnerships, and advocacy programmes. He leads legislative efforts to make gold and silver legal tender in various states, including Florida, Missouri, and South Carolina. His work also involves promoting the establishment of state precious metals depositories and advancing the adoption of Asset-Backed Digital Currencies (ABDCs), which combine the stability of tangible assets with the efficiency of digital transactions.

Daniel’s leadership extends to managing the Economic Freedom PAC, which supports candidates and initiatives aligned with sound money policies. He is a frequent speaker on topics such as sound money, blockchain technology, and political advocacy, sharing his insights at conferences and through media appearances.

Through his work, Daniel continues to champion the cause of financial freedom, advocating for a monetary system that empowers individuals and ensures economic stability for future generations.
