PART 3 – Jamie McIntyre: The Man Who Called Gold, Bitcoin, Property—and Now the Exodus from the West
By Jamie Mcintyre
He also argued that while Dubai was fashionable and booming at the time, it would not be the long-term answer for many Westerners due to its proximity to Middle Eastern instability and broader geopolitical risk. In contrast, he believed Indonesia and Malaysia would emerge as more attractive relocation and investment destinations, with some interest also flowing into Mexico, while much of South America would remain less appealing to many due to security concerns.
From that thesis came another forecast: property markets in Bali and Lombok would boom as Australians and other Westerners looked for alternatives to high-cost, high-pressure economies back home.
McIntyre’s warning was stark. He said the Australian middle class would be decimated within years, squeezed by housing costs, debt, inflation, and declining purchasing power. In that environment, many would be forced to seek cheaper places to live, invest, and build a future. In his view, Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, would be one of the main beneficiaries.
He is also said to still be regularly recognised in public, with supporters approaching him in different parts of the world to share how his teachings have impacted their lives. Many credit his strategies and education—particularly those who applied his “renting shares” and property approaches—as helping them transition from being asset-rich but cash-poor into financially independent, and in some cases, multi-millionaires.
Notably, McIntyre has made much of his educational content freely accessible, including his book and training videos, which are available online at http://21stcenturyu.com, allowing a broader audience to access the same material that many early followers attribute to their financial progress.
Whether history ultimately judges all of his recent calls correct remains to be seen. But his supporters say the pattern is already familiar: he makes bold calls early, gets mocked by many at the time, and then watches events slowly catch up.
From gold at US$300, to US property at the bottom, to Bitcoin at US$75, to warning about the affordability crisis in Australia and the movement of capital into emerging lifestyle markets like Bali and Lombok,
McIntyre has carved out a reputation as someone willing to say what others are not yet ready to hear.
He says it is not financial advice.
His followers say it has been some of the most profitable public commentary they ever listened to.
