Gold and Silver Pull Back — Smart Money Buys When Others Wait 
At Rebel Capitalist 2025, Mike Maloney and Russell Gray delivered a conversation that cuts to the heart of today’s economic shift.
The Decentralization Mega-Trend
Russell Gray sees three powerful signals of change:
- Gold and Bitcoin rising as escape routes from dollar hegemony
- Legacy media collapsing (independent voices like Mike now outperform CNN)
- Populist movements worldwide signaling people want freedom back
“We’re pushing back on monopolies,” Gray explains. The old gatekeepers are crumbling, and something new is emerging.
Why Main Street Capitalism Matters Now
Gray’s new platform, MainStreetCapitalist.com, focuses on a simple truth: we need to stop pushing paper and start building things.
The math is clear. We can’t extinguish our debt through austerity. We need real growth—not 2-3% GDP, but 5-8%. How? By unleashing entrepreneurial energy on Main Street. Manufacturing. Employing people. Creating real value.
The Economic Education Crisis
Australia’s new 30% tax on unrealized gains—even in retirement accounts—shows what happens when economic illiteracy drives policy. Imagine paying taxes on gains you haven’t even realized yet.
Gray’s response: “It’s economic suicide… forgive them father for they know not what they do.”
The problem isn’t malice—it’s ignorance. Economically illiterate people making economic policy creates disasters, no matter their good intentions.
The Path Forward: Purpose-Driven Capitalism
Gray’s vision aligns perfectly with Mike’s Freedom Forums mission—everyone needs to find their purpose and build around it. The formula is elegantly simple:
- Pick your purpose
- Build a business around it
- Make money by making a difference
This isn’t just about individual success. It’s about creating “a better, more peaceful, more prosperous society and world.” When millions of people engage in purpose-driven Main Street capitalism, we don’t just solve our debt problem—we solve our meaning problem too.
The Freedom Movement Starts With You
We’re at a turning point. The old systems are failing, creating massive opportunity—not for paper-shuffling, but for real building and creating on Main Street.
This is a freedom movement that starts with individual choice: play by the old rules or join the Main Street revolution?
The window is open now. Will you step through?
