The MoneyQuake Accelerates: Gold, Silver, and the Tectonic Shift Beneath Our Feet

Brian Hicks

Posted September 27, 2025

There are moments in history when the earth doesn’t just tremble — it cracks open beneath our feet.

You can feel it in your chest, like the low growl before an avalanche. You can sense it in the nervous eyes of policymakers who no longer believe their own speeches. 

And if you’ve been paying attention — like we have — you can see it in the price of gold and silver, in the frantic buying of central banks, in the way nations are clinging to hard money as if it were oxygen.

This is the MoneyQuake.

And it’s happening faster than even I imagined.

A Story I Told You Back in February

Let’s rewind. Back in late February, when Wall Street’s talking heads were still yawning about metals and pretending crypto was the only “alternative asset” worth paying attention to, I told Wealth Daily readers to look at a silver stock called Silvercorp Metals (SVM).

It was trading at a laughable $3.70 a share.

The underlying metal itself was trading at $31 an ounce.

If you recall, in my Angel Investment Research White Paper #2, released in October of last year, I said my 2025 silver price target was $40/oz.

That was bold. Outlandish, they said. Impossible.

And yet here we are. Silvercorp has blasted to $6.50, and my first target of $40 silver has already been eclipsed. 

The next stop on the ride? $56.60.

That’s not hopium. That’s math. That’s history. That’s MoneyQuake acceleration.

The Ground Beneath the Dollar Is Splitting

The world’s central banks are telling us the truth if you know how to listen.

For decades, they smiled politely at conferences, toasted the dollar as the “world’s reserve currency,” and then went home and quietly shoveled their surpluses into U.S. Treasuries.

Not anymore.

In Beijing, deep inside the People’s Bank of China, vault doors are swinging open every week. Tons of gold — literal tons — are being wheeled in and stacked. 

What’s more, China is no longer content just to hoard. They’re opening their arms and saying to smaller nations, “Why store your gold in London or New York, where it can be frozen, seized, or weaponized? Store it here, in Shanghai. We’ll keep it safe.”

That’s not diversification. That’s a coup.

A quiet, gleaming coup made of yellow bars and global ambition.

The Silver Shock

Now here’s where it gets wild.

For centuries, silver has been gold’s scrappy little brother — useful, shiny, industrial, maybe good for jewelry or coins. But no central banker worth his bespoke suit ever considered silver a “strategic reserve asset.”

Until now.

Buried in Russia’s 2025–2027 federal budget was a line item that should have sent shockwaves through every financial newsroom in the world: 51.5 billion rubles set aside to buy precious metals… and for the first time, silver is on the list.

Let me repeat that. Russia, one of the largest silver producers on the planet, isn’t just mining it — they’re stockpiling it.

And that changes everything.

Because once a sovereign starts calling silver “money” again, it isn’t just a commodity anymore. It’s a weapon. A hedge. A statement.

And the floodgates are open.

Why Silver Is About to Leave Gold in the Dust

Gold is already at record highs. Deutsche Bank just hiked its forecast to $4,000 an ounce for 2026. Central banks bought 166 metric tons in the last quarter alone. The story there is baked in.

But silver? Silver is a far smaller market. It’s consumed relentlessly by solar panels, electric cars, and electronics. The supply is tight, deficits widening, recycling lagging. Add a new source of demand from central banks — sovereign buyers with nearly infinite pockets — and you get the recipe for violent, gut-punching price spikes.

This is why when silver moves, it doesn’t walk — it sprints.

It overshoots. It leaps. It makes millionaires.

And right now silver is coiled like a spring.

What the Bankers Won’t Admit

Go back and read the minutes of IMF meetings, listen to the carefully hedged language of Federal Reserve governors. They’ll talk about “inflation expectations,” “diversified portfolios,” and “long-term resilience.”

What they won’t say out loud is this: They’re scared.

Scared of sanctions turning their reserves to frozen numbers on a screen.

Scared of deficits ballooning past the point of no return.

Scared of fiat credibility cracking like glass.

So they buy gold in daylight… and silver in the shadows.

They’re not idiots. They know that when the quake comes, the only assets left standing are the ones you can hold in your hands, the ones no counterparty can default on, the ones dug out of the earth and hoarded in vaults.

From Pebble Creek to Now

I’ve been telling you this story for years. In the Pebble Creek editorial, I showed you how one undeveloped deposit in Alaska symbolized the enormous stranded wealth beneath our feet. Governments and environmentalists fought, miners stalled, projects died. But the metal didn’t disappear. It just sat there, unmined, waiting.

Now, the tectonic plates are shifting. That same tension I warned about — between what exists in the ground and what the market desperately needs — is exploding.

Silvercorp’s rise is just one thread. The broader fabric is that the world’s biggest players are joining the game we’ve been in since before they admitted it was real.

What Happens Next

Here’s my prophecy…

The gold/silver ratio, now around the high 70s, will collapse. Silver will close the gap violently, snapping back to historical norms in the 40s… maybe even the 30s.

Silver at $56.60 will look conservative. Overshoots to $70 or even $100 aren’t fantasy — they’re baked into the structure of this quake.

And when that happens, companies like Silvercorp will not just rise — they will detonate. Because every ounce in the ground becomes revalued overnight. Every ton of ore, every permit, every deposit becomes a strategic asset, not a mining curiosity.

The herd will stampede. But you’ll already be in the green grass.

The Call to Action

I’m not here to entertain you. I’m not here to regurgitate what Bloomberg or CNBC will finally whisper six months from now.

I’m here to warn you. To guide you. To make sure you don’t get buried in the rubble when the MoneyQuake rips through the system.

Gold is your anchor. Silver is your rocket. And the clock is ticking.

We told you about Silvercorp at $3.70. Now it’s $6.50. Soon it will be $20.

The tectonic plates are moving. The vault doors are slamming shut. And the smart money — the sovereign money — is hoarding metals like their lives depend on it.

Because they do.

And so does yours.

Bottom line: The MoneyQuake isn’t coming. It’s here. You can feel it in your bones, see it in the charts, and read it in the budget lines of nations preparing for a new monetary order.

The choice is simple: Stand on the fault line and pretend the ground isn’t moving… or step with me into the green grass on the other side.

Because when this quake is over, the landscape of money will be unrecognizable — and those who owned gold and silver early will be the new kings of the hill.

Get to the good, green grass first…
