I told you this moment was coming.
Back in my White Paper #2 (originally published in October 2024), when I put in writing that gold would blast through $3,138 an ounce and silver would touch $40 in 2025, there were plenty of doubters. The mainstream financial press rolled its eyes. Wall Street strategists laughed into their pinot noir. Even some readers wrote to me saying, “Brian, $3,138? That’s insane.”
Well, it’s not even Q4 yet in 2025 — and look around. Gold just ripped to $3,580 an ounce. Silver vaulted past $41 per ounce. My “insane” predictions have already come true… ahead of schedule.
And here’s the part most investors can’t wrap their heads around: This is only the beginning.
A Bull Market Written in Stone
When I warned that gold was going over $16,000 an ounce and silver to $152 an ounce over the next decade, I wasn’t blowing smoke. I was laying out the tectonic forces that form the foundation of what I call the "MoneyQuake."
It’s a convergence of four mega-trends:
- Rate cuts that are already on the table. The Fed has painted itself into a corner with historic debt service costs. The only way out is to cut and inflate. That’s a rocket booster for gold and silver.
- The decline of the dollar. The dollar index is rolling over, crushed under the weight of trillion-dollar deficits and the waning petrodollar system. Central banks see the writing on the wall. That’s why they’re buying gold hand over fist.
- Foreign wars with no end. From Ukraine to the South China Sea to the Middle East, we’re in a geopolitical hurricane. Wars devour resources, stoke inflation, and erode trust in fiat. Precious metals thrive in that storm.
- The tokenization of unmined gold. NatBridge Resources (OTC: NATBF; CSE: NATB) and NatGold Digital are creating a new paradigm: digital claims on certified, in-ground gold reserves. This will unlock trillions in stranded wealth, creating a new asset class that marries the oldest money with the newest tech. We call NatGold the reformation token. It’s the linchpin of the coming monetary reformation that forms the backbone of MoneyQuake.
Stack those plates together and you don’t just get tremors. You get a MoneyQuake — a once-in-a-century earthquake in global finance.
Our Predictions Came True Early
Let’s put this in black and white.
From Angel Investment Research White Paper #2:
- “Gold will climb to $3,138 in 2025.”
- “Silver will vault to $40 in 2025.”
Reality check:
- Gold today: $3,580
- Silver today: $41+
It’s not just validation. It’s vindication.
As John Hathaway said just days ago: "The gold price could more than double" because a critical factor "has not been priced in." That factor? The tidal wave of demand that’s about to hit when global investors realize central banks are cornering the market.
ThinkChina put it bluntly: In a nervous world, "investors are seeking safety in gold, the traditional safe-haven asset." The nervousness isn’t going away. It’s accelerating.
And TradingView summed it up: Gold is “eyeing an upside break” as September trading kicks off. That upside break just happened. And we were miles ahead of it.

The Trades That Made Us Rich in 2025
It’s one thing to predict price moves. It’s another to put money behind them and reap the rewards.
This year alone, I guided readers into a basket of precious-metal power plays that are turning into fortune-makers:
- JNUG — the triple-leveraged gold miners ETF. A MoneyQuake amplifier. Every move in gold magnifies into jaw-dropping gains here.
JUNG is up over 200% this year alone!
- GDX — the core gold miner ETF. Solid, liquid, and benefiting directly from gold’s run.
GDX is up 87% in 9 months!
- Northern Dynasty (NAK) — owner of Pebble Creek in Alaska, one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and copper deposits. A political hot potato, yes, but in a bull market this big, even “stranded” assets become hot property.
NAK has rallied 58%!
- NovaGold (NG) — our Alaskan giant. Up triple-digits already, with Donlin sitting like a coiled spring.
NovaGold has moved 109% this year!
- Perpetua Resources (PPTA) — a double play on gold and antimony. Both critical, both in short supply.
PPTA is up 87%!
- U.S. Antimony (UAMY) — one of the tiniest stocks I’ve recommended, now flexing near record highs. Proof that even obscure critical minerals pay off when the world realizes supply chains are fragile.
U.S. Antimony up 157%!
- NatBridge Resources (NATBF; NATB) — the linchpin in the tokenization revolution. Controlling in-ground reserves and funneling them into NatGold Digital, where tokenized gold becomes the ultimate hard-backed crypto.
And at only $0.40, NatBridge Resources is up 141% in 2025!
That’s not a portfolio. That’s a treasure chest.
Why This Bull Market Is Still in Its First Inning
Skeptics will say, “But Brian, gold is already at $3,580. Isn’t this the top?”
No. Not even close.
This is what I call Phase One — the “recognition” phase. It’s the point where mainstream investors realize gold and silver aren’t just shiny rocks, but the most powerful hedge in existence against chaos, inflation, and government recklessness.
The real gains come in Phase Two and Phase Three:
- Phase Two: institutional adoption. Pension funds, insurance giants, sovereign wealth funds pour in.
- Phase Three: mania. Retail investors, burned by stock bubbles and currency debasement, chase metals higher with no regard for price.
In my White Paper #2, I showed the math. At current debt levels, with supply constraints baked in, gold mathematically has to reprice north of $16,000. Silver mathematically has to reprice over $152. It’s not a guess. It’s arithmetic.
And it’s unfolding exactly as I said it would.
The Tokenization Wild Card
There’s one factor I couldn’t even fully price into my white paper when I published it: the tokenization of unmined gold reserves.
NatBridge and NatGold are pioneering it. But make no mistake, every major miner, every sovereign, and every blockchain consortium is watching.
When you can unlock value in reserves without breaking ground, without triggering ESG protests, without spending billions on infrastructure — you unleash a financial revolution.
We’ve already seen 52,000 NatGold tokens pre-sold, representing $90 million in locked demand. That’s just a proof-of-concept. Scale that across the 200,000+ tons of certified reserves stranded in the ground globally, and you’re staring at a trillion-dollar asset class that will run parallel to — and sometimes faster than — the spot metals market.
And we got in at the ground floor.
Why the Herd Is Just Waking Up
The herd is always late.
They laughed when I said oil would top $150 back in the mid-2000s.
They mocked “Peak Oil.”
They ridiculed my $3,138 gold forecast.
Now they’re scrambling.
But you know who isn’t scrambling or laughing?
The world’s central banks.
That’s right.
Central banks aren’t laughing. They’ve been binge buyers of gold three straight years. China, Russia, India, Turkey — they’re hoarding. Not a little. A lot. Because they know fiat’s days are numbered.
Wall Street isn’t laughing either. Analysts are finally writing reports about gold “possibly” doubling. That’s their way of saying, “We missed the call, but we don’t want to get fired.”
Meanwhile, our MoneyQuake thesis is the only map that actually predicted this shift.
The Road Ahead: $16,000 Gold, $152 Silver
Let’s be crystal clear:
- Gold $3,580 is not the finish line. It’s the starting gun.
- Silver $41 is not a ceiling. It’s the floor.
The road ahead is paved with dollar decline, debt crises, war spending, deglobalization, and the rise of blockchain-backed hard assets. That road ends with $16,000 gold and $152 silver.
It won’t be a straight line. No bull market ever is. There will be pullbacks, head fakes, and corrections that scare the weak hands out. But the long-term trajectory is already written.
The Call to Action
If you’ve been reading my work — Wealth Daily, R.I.C.H. Report, New World Assets — you know I don’t deal in half-measures. I don’t hedge my words to appease Wall Street.
I said oil would hit $150. It did.
I said gold would hit $3,138 in 2025. It already overshot to $3,580.
I said silver would hit $40 in 2025. It’s $41 and climbing.
And now I’m saying this: The MoneyQuake has only just begun.
If you’re already holding JNUG, GDX, NAK, NG, PPTA, UAMY, or NatBridge, congratulations. You’re sitting on a generational opportunity. If you’re not — then every day you wait is another day the gap between you and financial liberation grows wider.
Because this isn’t about “beating the market.” This is about getting to the green grass first — before the herd tramples it down.
Final Word: The “I Told You So” Moment
I don’t enjoy saying “I told you so.” Actually, scratch that. Yes, I do.
Because when you dedicate your life to warning people about the storms on the horizon, there’s satisfaction when the first lightning strikes exactly where you said it would.
This is that moment.
Gold at $3,580. Silver at over $41.
My White Paper #2 predictions fulfilled ahead of schedule.
Our portfolio positions are paying off beyond our wildest dreams.
And a decade-long MoneyQuake ahead of us.
This is history. This is wealth in motion. This is the greatest bull market of our lifetimes.
Don’t just watch it. Ride it.
