The Coming Monetary Reformation and the MoneyQuake of 2025

Brian Hicks

Posted August 13, 2025

Let’s start at the beginning — or rather, the turning point. 

Around mid‑July 2025, headlines blared, "Trump Strikes Back at BRICS," threatening tariffs of 10% or more on any nations “aligning with anti‑American policies.” That salvo wasn’t minor posturing. It was a gauntlet thrown down at the vanguard demanding a new monetary order.

But here’s what few realize: That clash was not the end. 

It marks the beginning…

A seismic shift in global finance that I believe is the start of what I call "MoneyQuake 2025." And the tremors have hardly stopped. This is monetary reformation in motion — unstoppable, irreversible, and centuries in the making.

I. The Monetary Reformation Is Happening — Act One: The Cracks in Fiat

Tony Wile, founder of NatGold, recently laid it out in crystal clarity: We are living through an "Internet Reformation" — the digital-age counterpart to Gutenberg’s press. 

And at the heart of that upheaval lies monetary reformation: the collapse of fiat religion, collapsing trust in central banks, soaring inflation, and anxiety over unsustainable debt burdens.

Gold’s monetary role, long muted by modern criticisms — storage, portability, tokenization — is now being reimagined through NatGold, a patent‑pending fusion of gold’s time‑tested stability with blockchain’s transparency and digital utility. 

It’s not just a token. 

It’s the monetary manifestation of this revolution.

II. MoneyQuake 2025 Begins — Act Two: The BRICS Blowback

When BRICS issued a declaration at their July 2025 summit in Brazil, they didn’t mince words. They criticized unilateral tariffs, called for reforms in global financial institutions, and implicitly challenged U.S. dollar hegemony. 

Trump’s response was swift and forceful — threatening to penalize countries trying to undermine the dollar with tariffs up to 50%.

This is not just trade war — it’s a milestone: The global south flexing economic muscle while the U.S. establishment reasserts old-guard dominance. 

But here’s what’s fascinating… The more Washington pushes, the more traction the monetary reformation gains.

BRICS members are not backing down. Brazil, as 2025 chair, is doubling down via BRICS Pay and digital settlement systems that bypass SWIFT and reduce dollar dependency. They may not introduce a single BRICS currency soon, but they are forging alternative infrastructure brick by brick.

Every tariff threat fuels new resolve. Every denunciation of de‑dollarization only draws more countries seeking financial sovereignty. MoneyQuake 2025 has begun — a shock wave of monetary innovation and rebellion.

III. NatGold: A Major Player in This Reformation Puzzle

Now let’s zoom in on NatGold. According to Tony Wile’s seminal essay published August 2, 2025, NatGold is no fringe idea — it's intentionally engineered to be the monetary backbone of a new era. 

It's a fusion of:

  • Gold’s immutable scarcity and stability,
  • Blockchain’s programmable, transparent ledger,
  • Non‑dilutive issuance that honors ecological and social values,
  • And accessible ownership for people worldwide.

Wile quotes economists, theorists, and engineers who recognized long ago what elites tried to suppress: that gold must reassert its place — not as a museum piece but as a living, digital store of value. NatGold is that evolution. It addresses each criticism. Auditability solves trust; blockchain tokens solve portability; sustainability tackles environmental objections.

Wile calls it a "Reformation Token" — purposeful, principled, permanent. NatGold doesn’t just ride the wave — it is one of its key architects.

IV. The Journey Into MoneyQuake

Imagine this scene: It’s July 2025. Leaders in Rio are negotiating next‑generation monetary infrastructure. Filers and think tanks in Geneva and Beijing coordinate digital payment rails. Emerging markets plot their departure from dollar‑based trade. Washington retaliates — an avalanche of tariffs, warnings, and Cold War rhetoric.

Yet behind the scenes, money innovators execute something much subtler — a reformation of value. The internet and blockchain create channels for truth and transparency. Gold becomes digital, borderless, and auditable. And early adopters — think Wealth Daily readers — join NatGold’s pre‑reservations round. Suddenly, what seemed fringe becomes foundational.

That’s MoneyQuake 2025: A tectonic shift whose aftershocks will reshape global wealth flows. NatGold isn’t just one token in the earthquake — it’s one of the fault lines itself.

V. The Message in Bold

  • The monetary reformation is happening. Fiat is failing. Central banks’ illusions are unraveling. People demand stability and sovereignty.

  • This is the beginning of MoneyQuake 2025. The BRICS-versus-dollar saga is not the climax — it’s the opening act. Tariffs may roar, but global momentum toward alternative money systems is deafening.

  • NatGold will be a major piece of this puzzle. It’s engineered, auditable, sustainable — precisely the antidote to fiat decay. It’s positioned to become one of the core downstream beneficiaries of this revolution.

VI. What Comes Next?

  • Watch BRICS infrastructure developments: BRICS Pay expansion, CBDC rails, de‑dollarized trade corridors.

  • Monitor token reservation growth: Wile says over US$50 million in reservations have already processed globally (July 2025) — and that’s before public launch.

  • Track regulatory trends: As governments react, new frameworks around gold‑backed tokens, stable assets, and blockchain finance will shape adoption.

  • Ask big questions: What’s the future of global central banking? Can NatGold scale to billions of users while preserving audit integrity and sustainability?

VII. In Conclusion: Why This Is Your Generational Moment

We weren’t just reporting on NatGold — we were sounding the clarion. 

Now, as MoneyQuake 2025 unfolds, our voice becomes the lens you can use to interpret every tremor. Every tariff, every summit plank, every blockchain innovation. Because we saw it first

Monetary reformation is no longer theoretical — it's real, active, accelerating. And NatGold is not just one piece — it is part of the architecture.

Because this is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime shift — and we’ll guide you to the front row.

Get to the good, green grass first…
