$10,000 Gold This Year? (Uncut) 04-21-2025
$10,000 Gold This Year? Monetary Reset Breadcrumbs In Plain Sight | Mike Maloney
The biggest economic event of our lifetimes is right around the corner and gold is probably going to go up by multiples from here. Shortly after recording the following video, President Trump tweeted out this giant breadcrumb for us to follow. So put this, remember this, and put it in with all the rest of the evidence that I supply at the end of this video.
The golden rule of negotiating and success, he who has the gold makes the rules. Enjoy the video. For decades now, people have been asking me for a price target on gold.
What is the price ultimately going to be? And I usually will, you know, I’ve given a few price predictions, except I will usually say it doesn’t matter what the price is. It matters what the value is. How much can you buy with your gold and silver? But today, I’m going to give you a price target and I am going to give you a rough idea of the dates that this should happen and based on a series of breadcrumbs, a trail of breadcrumbs, and you need to connect the dots and see where you think this is going because I think that this is huge.
Now, I’m going to present all of the evidence later in this video, but first, I’ve got to read to you from my book, The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century, in which I predicted this and it’s all based on evidence and history. So just connect these dots as we go and see what you think. This section is fun.
It’s short. It’s called the Monetary Merry-Go-Round. Back in 2002 through 2007, while I was doing research for my first book, I accidentally discovered that roughly every 30 to 50 years, the world has a new monetary system.
I tried to do further research on it, but to the best of my knowledge, to that date, nobody had written on the topic. There have been four different global monetary systems over the past 150 years. The one we are currently on, the global dollar standard, is the most poorly designed and unstable of them all, and the world is way overdue for the next transition.
I’ve been making videos and giving presentations on it since 2009, and now everybody’s writing and talking about it. I called it the death of the global dollar standard. They call it the great reset.
It’s the same thing. Basically, we went from a system based on something super stable and rock solid, gold, to partial gold, to very little gold, to no gold. There was the classical gold standard before World War I, the gold exchange standard between the world wars, the Bretton Woods system from World War II to 1971, and the global dollar standard from 1971 until today.
These transitions had a huge effect on countries, big banks, and international businesses, but the average person didn’t even know they were happening and never felt them. This is because each transition was a small baby step, slowly weaning the public from something tangible, real money, gold, to nothing but a belief system based on a shell game that is purposely so complex that it conceals our own enslavement from us, and we never saw it coming. The song remains the same.
1870 through 1922, stability of the classical gold standard followed by an economic boom, World War I, suspension of the gold standard in Europe, massive currency creation to fund the war, the chaos of deflation and hyperinflation, and an emergency economic conference to create a new world monetary system, the Genoa Economic Conference of 1922. 1922 to 1944, the stability of a partial gold standard followed by an economic boom, the chaos of deflation and hyperinflation, suspension of the gold standard, World War II, massive currency creation to fund the war, and an emergency economic conference to create a new world monetary system, the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944. 1944 through 1971, the stability of a pseudo gold standard followed by an economic boom, massive currency creation to fund the Korean War, Vietnam, and social programs, a bank run by the international central banks on the U.S. gold supply, suspension of central bank gold redemption rights, and an emergency economic conference to create a new world monetary system, the Smithsonian Agreement of 1971, which by the way fell apart immediately and we just went on these floating exchange rates.
1971 until today, the instability of a fiat currency system, immediate roaring double-digit inflation and stagflation, massive currency creation to fund an endless stream of wars and social programs, an endless series of bubbles, busts, crashes, and bailouts, income inequality, wealth disparity, and social unrest, and an emergency economic conference to oops sorry that part hasn’t happened yet. Now I’m going to take a detour and show you the breadcrumbs and then I’ll finish this last paragraph. Just after President Trump was elected, massive gold inflows started coming into the United States, and then two months ago he started talking about auditing Fort Knox, that we’ve got to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is really there, and so I want to show you, I use the Swiss gold exports because this is the major portion of where that, but there’s other sources of gold, it’s just that they’re very opaque.
The Swiss gold exports, they do very accurate reporting, and so it’s very transparent. So this is January of 2024, and what you’re interested here, you know, you can see China here is a big bar at 78.5 tons, and all the way over on the right is the United States with only 1.6 tons, and then we’ve got February at 1.6 tons, March at half a ton, April at half a ton, May at 0.7 tons, June at 1.4 tons, July at 7.9 tons, August at 0.6 tons, September at 6.2, October at 9.2, November at 5.9, and now you get to December. What happened to China? What happened to India? The rest of the world is being shut off from being able to buy gold from the Swiss refineries.
64.5 tons going to the United States. January of 2025, 193.4 tons, and the rest of the world has been turned off. China, 0.2 tons, and then February, and this is the last date of March.
Numbers aren’t out yet, but 146.8 tons, and still the rest of the world is shut off. Now, this is not retail investors. This is whales that are buying.
The retail investors, this is U.S. Mint gold coin sales down over the past two years. U.S. Mint silver coin sales down. The Perth Mint gold coin and bar sales down.
Perth Mint silver coin and bar sales down severely, and this is very disappointing to me. The mission of GoldSilver.com is to save the middle class one investor at a time, and this is not the middle class that’s in this. These are some super whales that are buying, and then people in the know in government that are front-running, and the U.S. government giving the Federal Reserve time to restock Fort Knox, the Denver Mint, and the West Point Mint with all of the bars of gold, and we will know if this has happened if we get a true audit that has bar purities on it.
If you get the bar weights and the bar purities, Fort Knox was mostly full of coin melt bars from the gold nationalization of 1933. They melted down all of those coins, and so they’re only 92 percent. They’re not 999 fine.
So, these are the net gold imports and exports. So, the U.S. is always a gold exporter. Remember that, but there are only two years since 1992.
Well, there is that one year in the early 2000s where at 21 metric tons coming into the United States, but that’s almost nothing, and then 2016 with seven tons, but 697 tons coming in in 2020 when everybody thought the world was going to end due to COVID, and then this year with 577 tons for January and February. This doesn’t include March yet, and so when the March numbers hit, this is going to be the biggest gold inflows probably since World War II. Now, I want you to follow this trail of breadcrumbs and connect the dots and see what you think that this adds up to.
This is Scott Besant, the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America. I think we’re also at a unique moment geopolitically, and I could see in the next few years that we are going to have to have some kind of a grand global economic reordering. There’s something on the equivalent of a new Bretton Woods, or if you want to go back, like a treat something back to the steel agreements or the Treaty of Versailles.
There’s a very good chance that we are going to have to have that over the next four years. Okay, so Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America saying we need a new economic ordering. That means a new world monetary system, and then here, just a week or two later, he starts talking about gold.
Gold does not have, gold can’t have a fiscal problem. Gold cannot have a gigantic budget deficit. Gold cannot have a war, so just the fact that it is this isolated thing makes it very interesting, and the fact that the entire global trading system, until Richard Nixon took us off, was tied to gold.
So you’re not anti-gold? Oh no, no, no. When I had my fund, I think people might have called me a gold bug. Okay, so the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America is a gold bug, and he likes gold, and he says that the world needs a new monetary system, and he says that the world monetary system was once tied to gold.
This is all adding up to something big. Now, if we do go back on some sort of gold standard, the U.S. does have the most gold of any country on the planet. So we put these graphs together for my book, so this data goes back to 2022.
So it’s not exactly accurate, but it’s very, very close. The amount of gold in the central banks doesn’t change that rapidly, with the exception of China. But you can see which countries here, this is the top 20 countries.
However, that doesn’t say how rich a country will be if we go back on to a gold standard. If you have a country that has 10 people with 10 ounces of gold in that country, and then you have a country that has a thousand people with 100 ounces of gold in that country, that country has 10 times more gold in it, but the country with only 10 people is actually 10 times richer per person. And so when we were writing great gold and silver rush of the 21st century, Allen came up with this data, and so it’s the number of gold ounces per person.
And Switzerland, if the United States does this, and we go on a new global monetary system, Switzerland will be the richest country on the planet per person, and then the U.S. will actually be number 12. However, we still have the biggest economy in the world. Now, what are the triggers that are going to cause this? This is right from the White House.
China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States as a result of its retaliatory actions. Now, look at the first one of these bullet points. More than 75 countries have already reached out to discuss new trade deals.
And then another blurb from the White House. On the financial side, the reserve function of the dollar has caused persistent currency distortions and contributed, along with other countries’ unfair barriers to trade, to unsustainable trade deficits. These trade deficits have decimated our manufacturing sector and many working-class families and their communities.
And so this is one of the reasons that they want to shift monetary system, because no matter what they do with trade barriers and so on, as long as we have the reserve currency of the world, it means that we have to run these trade deficits. Other countries need the currency, and so we have to buy more stuff than we create. And so you put these two things together, and these are the triggers.
Now, if there are 70, more than 70 countries that want to strike a deal with us, do you really think that we’re going to be taking all of these countries one by one and making deals with them, hoping that China is going to acquiesce and that we will strike a deal with them as well? I think that what is going to happen is we will have the Mar-a-Lago Accord or the Mar-a-Lago Agreement, so there will be another emergency economic conference to hash out a new world monetary system. So what does that mean as far as price targets? If you take the currency in circulation, you know, if you go to the Federal Reserve’s website, you get all of the data. The currency in circulation is $2,365,000,000 that are currency.
The gold standard never backed M2 currency supply. So anybody that’s giving you price predictions based on M2, M2 is mostly bank credit. It’s about 92% bank credit and only 8% currency in circulation.
The Federal Reserve creates the currency in circulation. The stuff that’s in your bank account, if it’s digital and you’re looking at it, that isn’t Federal Reserve dollars. It’s redeemable in Federal Reserve dollars.
The bank has promised you that they will pay you Federal Reserve dollars, but it is not Federal Reserve notes. It’s bank credit. And so here you have $2,365,000,000 and you’ve got to divide that into the gold reserves.
By the way, this shows Federal Reserve. So you take this number and you divide it by that number and you’ll end up with the dollars per ounce. The 13 million ounces there at the Federal Reserve is part of that 261 million ounces that the U.S. owns.
Coincidentally, the gold inflows that we’ve had in December, January, and February equal 13 million ounces. I think that that’s only a coincidence, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless. So if you take that, this shows, this is from the Federal Reserve’s H.4.1 release and it’s collateral held against Federal Reserve notes.
And right there in blue is the amount that is, that’s the billions of dollars at 42 and two ninths dollars per ounce. And so they can change this and cover all of the Federal Reserve notes and make them fully redeemable once again in gold by just doing an accounting trick and changing that number on this sheet and then getting rid of the other forms of collateral here. They don’t need the special drawing rights or the U.S. treasuries and they can back the U.S. dollar, the Federal Reserve notes with 100% gold once again.
So what is, if you do that math, what is the price prediction? Well, it’s $9,044 per ounce today. However, the U.S. probably wants a little bit of runway here. We do deficit spending every single year and it’s already baked into the cake for this year and next.
And so if they just add a little bit to this, you come up with a nice round number. So when you make a price prediction and a time prediction, you are almost always going to be wrong. But I’m going out on a limb here and saying $10,000 per ounce and it’s probably going to be sometime this year.
I hope this makes you very happy if you’re a gold bug, if you’re a gold investor. And if you’re not, perhaps you should consider becoming one. I want to thank you for watching and I hope this makes you sleep well at night.
We’ll see you next time.
