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 […]

Failure to Deliver: The Setup for $100 Silver

Silver’s bull market is no longer just a rally — it’s a structural shift. For the first time in history, silver has held above $40 for more than 20 straight trading days, a streak that eclipses both the 1980 hyperbubble and the 2011 run.  But as Mike Maloney warns in his latest update, the real story isn’t just the strength of this rally — it’s the fragility of supply. A single “failure to deliver” could cause silver to gap higher, skipping entire price levels overnight.  Let’s break down the key insights from Mike’s analysis.  The $100 Overnight Risk  “If there’s […]

Why Silver Is Undervalued: The Case for a 20:1 Gold–Silver Ratio

If you’ve been wondering whether silver is still “cheap” after its latest rally, Mike Maloney’s framework makes the case loud and clear: relative to gold, silver remains one of the most undervalued major assets on the planet. The lens that reveals this is the gold–silver ratio (GSR)—how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Understand this ratio, and you’ll see why Mike expects powerful moves ahead, plus how disciplined investors can turn that volatility into more gold over time.  The Core Imbalance: What We Dig Up vs. What Markets Price In  Start with supply.

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 […]

The Dollar Milkshake Theory: What It Means for Gold, Silver, and Your Portfolio

You’ve probably heard Mike Maloney mention the dollar milkshake theory recently — and for good reason. This vivid metaphor captures one of the most important dynamics in global finance today.  Picture the U.S. dollar as a giant straw, sucking up capital and liquidity from around the world like a milkshake. As the world’s reserve currency, the dollar pulls money into the U.S. financial system during times of stress — often leaving other economies gasping for air.  What Is the Dollar Milkshake Theory?  Popularized by Brent Johnson of Santiago Capital, the theory explains a dangerous paradox. When global uncertainty rises, investors […]

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, […]

Triple-Digit Silver? Why the Charts Say It’s Possible

The silver market is flashing signals we haven’t seen in decades. In his latest video, Mike Maloney explains why silver’s chart pattern — the classic “cup and handle” — has broken out on major time frames, and why that could point to three-digit silver prices in the years ahead. Let’s unpack the key highlights from Mike’s update.  The Cup-and-Handle Breakout  On daily, weekly, and especially quarterly charts, silver has now completed a cup-and-handle pattern that technical analysts have been watching for years. Historically, this formation precedes major upside moves. Mike notes that silver hasn’t closed above $40 on a quarterly […]
