Silver is up 154 % in 2025 and "Asian Guy" is trending on Fin YouTube

This is "Asian Guy." Seriously, that's what he calls himself now.  Who is he really?  How does he know so much about the precious metals and financial markets?  Is that really him, or is it an AI avatar?  Is this a PR campaign from China?  Is it a PR campaign out of London?  Is it a PR campaign out of J.P. Morgan (who now reportedly holds 700 million to 1.1 billion ounces of silver in their vaults)?  Nobody seems to know for sure.  

I stumbled into one of his videos on Christmas Eve, four days ago, and have been hooked since.  He has a real name, he said it in at least one video.  He also said he's been a trader in London for over 20 years.  He has multiple channels, and he talks about more than just silver.  I think the guy we see is an AI created version of him, not actually him.  Obviously all the graphics (which can be really weird and really funny at times) are AI created.  I don't think he's a Chinese PR campaign.  I don't think he's a J.P. Morgan PR campaign either.  Whoever he (or the team) is, he/they are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about precious metals, commodities trading, economics though history, and Big Picture dynamics in economics, financial markets, and industrial processes and infrastructure.

Pure and simple, he's WAY TOO INFORMATIVE to be a government or bank PR campaign.  His quick Disclaimer says he or his business may hold positions in the markets he talks about.  His insights are fucking mind blowing.  He's way too smart to work for the government, media, or a PR firm.  My best guess, having watched several videos, is that's he a trader who's kind of sick of the BS, and decided to school people on how these markets work.  He's been making videos for at least a month or two before the recent silver market drama exploded.  In any case, he's the new hot trend on Financial You Tube, and conspiracy theories about him are starting to pop up.  

Here's a video from 4 months ago on his Financial Historian channel, and there are only 16,000 views.  This channel is really informative, if you're into economics and history.  If there was a huge PR machine behind this guy, he'd have a lot more views, and the posts would all be super dumbed down, like Fox News.  I actually watched a couple of these videos before the first silver video popped up on my feed.  Whomever he is, whatever the reason he/they is/are making these videos, there's A LOT to be learned from them.  

Greyson Fletcher's new "Hellion" segment

Just watch this video.  

I remember going to the Action Sports trade shows in San Diego in the mid 1990's and seeing this little kid running around.  "That's Christian Fletcher's son," someone said.  He's a fourth generation member of the Fletcher surfing dynasty, Great Grandpa Fletcher was a surfing and big wave pioneer.  Grandpa Herbie Fletcher is the well known surfer and legendary surf filmmaker Herbie Fletcher.  Grandma is a really good artist.  Dad Christian Fletcher took short board surfing vertical, airing off waves, and ripping in general.  Uncle Nathan Fletcher pushed surfing even further.  

Coming up in that family, we could definitely understand if Greyson found it hard to forge his own path, and make a name for himself.  But he just tore it up in his own way, found his own path, and in his mid-30's now has this absolutely insane new skate segment.  Just watch the video.  

When I was driving a taxi in Huntington Beach in the 2000's, I had Christian Fletcher in my cab twice.  One time he was pretty blitzed, and decided he wanted to autograph the dashboard.  I talked him out of that, since I didn't own the taxi, and had him sign my taxi permit instead.  That autographed permit was in the storage unit that got auctioned off when I wound up moving back East in 2008.  I'm still bummed about that.
