Congratulations Silver Stackers and Gold Bugs!
This month alone silver is up $42, or 60%, while gold is up almost $1k, or about 20%.
Just two years ago, silver was flirting with a price approximating 50% of this month’s gain! I’ve felt bad for those who held silver and not crypto for the last five years but their patience has finally paid off!
These are record breaking moves, not just all time highs.
Let me put it into perspective:
From 1900 to 1933, one ounce of gold was fixed at $20.67, a stable benchmark under the gold-backed dollar. Today in 2025, that same 1 oz of gold trades near $4,950, and silver has also surged sharply, especially over the past month or so, with both metals posting massive gains as real money demand accelerates.
In this latest move, gold and silver have been outperforming Bitcoin, underscoring a broad flight into tangible stores of value rather than speculative digital assets alone.
This isn’t just “price appreciation”, it’s a mirror on monetary decay: the US dollar has been devalued by roughly 99.9%+ since abandoning sound money.
Gold and silver haven’t simply gone up; the USD has gone down.
In that sense, by relentlessly printing and debasing its currency, the United States has effectively defaulted. The dollar is collapsing in front of our eyes.
If you’d been paying attention to me and Ed Bugos, co-founder and senior analyst at The Dollar Vigilante, over the past 16 years, you wouldn’t be shocked by what’s happening now.
You’d understand why holding real money instead of paper promises mattered.
By the way, just before Ed and I started The Dollar Vigilante, he was fired from his brokerage house because they were furious at him for promoting gold… which was then at $250/oz.
You can’t make this up!
In 2018, Ed also predicted gold hitting $5k in the next cycle, when he was generally met with the same scepticism as when he predicted it would break $2,000 when it was only around the $300 mark.

I also mentioned several times in our newsletter last year that some of our precious metals stocks are likely to outperform the crypto market and well, here I am… paying off a house with gold coins, not debt, not inflated fiat… real wealth… as I do right now on my ranch in Mexico. This wasn’t luck or timing; it was simply seeing the dollar collapse in slow motion while positioning accordingly. Those who listened didn’t just preserve purchasing power, they escaped the system.
So, we have gold at ATHs, silver at massive ATHs, precious metals stocks skyrocketing… Those are all the biggest holdings in our portfolio. Plus, Monero, a coin we’ve loved since almost Day 1 and have always had as a significant part of our portfolio, has absolutely skyrocketed in just the last few days! And, it’s not too late to join the best performing financial newsletter in the world right now and get Ed Bugos’ next Stock Portfolio Pick… for less than $20 a month.
In today’s interview video, Ed and I discuss what all of this means, including,
What’s going on?
Why is it so insane?
What does Trump’s march to “peace” have to do with a stock market crash?
What’s happening in the crypto market?
Should you still be buying into a gold or silver portfolio if this is all new to you?
What are junior mining stocks and should you speculate?
If you’d like to know more and learn how to survive and prosper during and after a dollar collapse, get yourself a bundled virtual ticket to The Dollar Vigilante Summit, The Crypto Vigilante Summit and Anarchapulco! Or just join us at the TDV Summit down in Puerto Vallarta on February 21 or virtually.
To quote Ed, “always listen to the markets, they’re the one place where propaganda eventually goes to die.”
And right now, what are they saying?
They’re saying Trump’s choreographed march to “peace” is theater, not resolution; inflation is still running hot above target no matter how it’s massaged; tariff threats are back on the table, signaling trade friction and higher prices ahead; and the spending demands of this bloated, dysfunctional machine are escalating, not shrinking.
Markets don’t care about speeches or slogans… they price reality.
And, the reality they’re screaming is simple: instability, debasement, and loss of confidence in the system that claims everything is “under control.”
