“2025 Could Be The Last Year For GOLD Under $3000” – Alan Hibbard

Gold and silver have taken center stage in 2024, with prices skyrocketing and demand hitting unprecedented levels. In this insightful discussion, Alan Hibbard of GoldSilver.com and Kurt Nelson of SummerHaven Investment Management share why 2025 might be a pivotal year for precious metals.

Highlights:

  • Gold’s safe-haven appeal amidst inflation and global volatility
  • Silver demand outstripping supply for five consecutive years
  • Central banks stocking up on gold reserves ($40 billion in 2024 alone!)
  • Bold price predictions: Gold above $3,000, Silver at $40 by 2025
  • Why this could be your last chance to buy gold under $3,000

Whether you’re an investor or just curious about the future of commodities, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

Alan Hibbard first became curious about the world of investing in 2007. He studied business at a university during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and graduated with an MBA in Finance in 2011. But he felt like the curriculum didn’t address his questions about money, value, and their effects on real people, so he turned to alternative media for answers. That’s where he found Mike Maloney’s YouTube channel and, eventually, the eye-opening series Hidden Secrets of Money. He’s been a freedom-loving scholar of the Austrian school ever since. Alan reached out to Mike in 2019 with an offer to help with research, analysis, and chart-making. They worked closely together for over four years to release Mike’s second book, The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century. Now, Alan continues to help us spread our message of free markets, individual liberties, and sound money to the next generation of investors.

Global Silver Shortage: Why the Physical Price Is Breaking Away From Paper

Few times in history has the silver market looked like this.  In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unpack an extraordinary squeeze that’s pushing the physical and paper markets in completely different directions — and it’s happening fast.  Lease Rates Explode: A Market Under Stress  Silver lease rates — the cost of borrowing silver for short trades — have rocketed to over 33%, a level almost never seen.  Under normal conditions, those rates hover near zero. A 33% spike signals something deeper: a market starved of liquidity.  For short sellers, this is a nightmare.

Silver Running Dry: Gold’s Historic Surge Explained 

Gold is having its best year since 1979 — up nearly 50% in 2025 — but according to Mike Maloney, the real move hasn’t even begun.  And when you look at what’s happening in the silver market, it’s easy to see why.  The World Is Using Silver Faster Than It Can Be Mined  Every 6.8 minutes, the world consumes as much silver as it takes miners 9.6 minutes to dig out of the ground.  That imbalance can’t last forever. As Mike puts it, “Something has to give — and what has to give is price.”  Silver demand is relentless —

Gold Isn’t Scarce — So Why Is It So Valuable?

For decades, sound money advocates have leaned on a simple, tidy idea: gold is valuable because it’s scarce.  But what if that argument misses the point entirely?  In his latest video, Alan Hibbard takes aim at the “scarcity” narrative and replaces it with a more precise—and more powerful—mental model: arduousness. It’s not just about how rare something is. It’s about how hard it is to inflate its supply.  If you’ve ever used scarcity to defend gold… you might want to rethink that.  Scarcity vs. Value: Not the Same Thing  Let’s start with a quick thought experiment: if gold is valuable

The $20 Trillion Tipping Point for Gold & Silver

In the latest episode of The GoldSilver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard unveil one of the most eye-opening charts they’ve ever presented. While most headlines focus on the $7 trillion parked in U.S. money market funds, Mike makes a case that more than $20 trillion in ultra-liquid capital could soon come flooding into safe-haven assets — gold and silver chief among them.  What makes this episode essential viewing is not just the number itself — it’s how it’s built, what it signals, and why this time truly is different.  More Than Money Markets: The Real Liquid Capital Pool  The

Bitcoin vs. Gold: What Really Counts as Money?

Alan Hibbard recently tackled some of the toughest questions our community has about Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In this thought-provoking video, he explores whether Bitcoin is truly money, why companies abandoned it as a payment method, and how it compares to the time-tested value of gold and silver. Below are some of the key takeaways from his analysis.  Bitcoin: Commodity, Currency, or Store of Value?  One viewer argued that Bitcoin can’t be a commodity because it isn’t on the periodic table of elements. Alan quickly counters: plenty of commodities aren’t elements — think lumber, corn, or soybeans. By market definition,

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
