Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
The Story of GoldSilver: Changing How the World Understands “Money”
For over two decades, Mike Maloney and GoldSilver have stood at the forefront of the precious metals industry — offering not just world-class bullion products, but also something far more valuable: financial education. Millions of people across the globe have benefitted from the guidance, insights, and tools provided by Mike and his team. But how did it all begin?
Humble Beginnings
In 2005, GoldSilver was born in the most unassuming of places — a spare bedroom in Mike Maloney’s home. At the time, Mike was a one-man operation. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., he answered calls, handled sales, did customer service, managed the books, and yes, even took out the trash. All while burning the midnight oil writing what would become his first book, The Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver.
As Mike dove deep into monetary history and economics, he recognized a glaring gap: there was no single place where people could learn everything they needed to know about money, gold, and silver. So, he decided to create it himself.
“I basically decided to write my book to consolidate monetary history, economics, the markets, and the fundamentals of gold and silver.” — Mike Maloney
A Business on the Rise
By 2009, GoldSilver had outgrown the spare bedroom. The company moved into a new, larger office in Santa Monica and formed a groundbreaking partnership with Brinks. This allowed GoldSilver to offer institutional-grade, secure vault storage to clients, setting a new industry standard for safety and transparency.Changing the Way the World Understands Money
In 2012, Mike released what would become one of the most influential financial education series on the internet: Hidden Secrets of Money. Filmed across 18 countries, the series pulled back the curtain on the smoke and mirrors of modern economics.
“There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in economics, and I’ve sort of made it my job to lift the fog for people.” — Mike Maloney
Episode 4 of the series became especially impactful, sparking curiosity and challenging the financial assumptions of viewers around the world. Even prominent financial freedom advocates recognized the series' exceptional educational value
“Your Episode 4 of [Hidden Secrets of Money] is very beneficial, very helpful. It's gonna introduce these ideas, to a lot of people and like I've just been talking about, we have to change people's mind and the more they understand it, the better.” — Ron Paul, Author, Activist, and former
Innovation in Your Pocket
Always on the cutting edge, GoldSilver developed a powerful mobile vault app , allowing users to buy and sell precious metals, monitor their portfolios, and stay updated with the latest market news — all from their smartphones.
But this wasn’t just about convenience. The app symbolized something bigger — a commitment to empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to protect their wealth.
Behind every decision Mike has made at GoldSilver lies a single, unwavering principle — one that has guided his work from the very beginning.
“Maximum prosperity can only be achieved through individual freedom, free markets, and sound money — and that is a fact.” — Mike Maloney
Mike's Visionary Bitcoin Call: Buying Under $700
In July of 2014, when Bitcoin traded around $632, Mike began exploring the emerging world of cryptocurrency. After attending a Bitcoin conference in Washington, D.C., he became convinced of its long-term potential. Since then, Bitcoin has soared to heights as high as $100,000 — a remarkable gain of over 100x for those who acted when Mike first shared this insight.
Though a dedicated gold and silver investor, Mike recommended Bitcoin might eventually make up 10% of his portfolio — demonstrating not just his willingness to evolve, but his ability to identify transformative opportunities across the entire monetary landscape.
A Global Educational Legacy
By 2022, the Hidden Secrets of Money YouTube channel hit an incredible milestone: 100 million views.
What set this educational content apart wasn't just its depth of information, but its lasting impact on viewers' financial decisions. Many educators recognized its exceptional value:
Testimonials like these cemented GoldSilver’s reputation as not just a trusted financial source, but as a catalyst for the growing financial awakening that continues to spread.
Mike's Magnum Opus
In recent years, Mike completed what he considers his life's greatest work: “The Great Gold and Silver Rush of the 21st Century.” Though rooted in precious metals, the book dives deep into economics and global financial dynamics. With the help of longtime research assistant Alan Hibbard, this monumental project represents a culmination of decades of research and experience.
“It’s my magnum opus, I’ve been working on it for years. It’s purely economics, and it should benefit everyone.” — Mike Maloney
