Founder. Futurist. Architect of the MoneyQuake.
He was once known as the original “Bull on America.”
Today, Brian Hicks is known for something much bigger.
He is the architect of the MoneyQuake — a sweeping macro thesis that argues the world is undergoing the greatest monetary realignment since 1971… when President Nixon severed the dollar from gold and set off five decades of debt expansion, currency debasement, and financial engineering.
Brian believes that era is ending.
And he has built an entire investment framework around what comes next.
The MoneyQuake: Monetary Reformation Meets Industrial Renaissance
At the heart of Brian’s work is a simple but explosive idea:
The Monetary Reformation and the Industrial AI Build-Out are happening simultaneously.
He calls them the Conjoined Twins:
- Twin #1: Monetary Reformation
Soaring sovereign debt.
Central banks hoarding gold.
The weaponization of the dollar.
Rising rates to attract Treasury buyers.
A structural migration toward tangible assets. - Twin #2: The Industrial & AI Supercycle
Massive data center expansion.
Energy grid overhaul.
Nuclear renaissance.
Critical minerals stockpiling.
Steel, copper, uranium, rare earths — consumed at historic scale.
And according to Brian, the epicenter of this collision is gold, silver, and the world’s most strategic natural resources.
He calls this once-in-a-generation shift:
The MoneyQuake
From Peak Oil Prophet to Monetary Realignment Visionary
Brian first gained national attention as co-author of the 2008 book:
Profit from the Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century
Years before shale became mainstream, Brian forecast the end of cheap, easy-to-get oil and outlined how energy scarcity would reshape geopolitics and investment markets.
His early work on hydraulic fracturing, unconventional oil, and America’s energy resurgence earned him appearances on:
- CNBC
- Bloomberg
- Fox News
He was invited to headline investment conferences, speak on national radio, and consult with institutional investors seeking edge in volatile markets.
But energy was only the beginning.
The Dawn of NatGold
In 2025, Brian released what many consider his most disruptive work yet:
The Dawn of NatGold: Not Just a Token — The Future of Wealth
In this landmark book, Brian outlines a radical evolution of gold ownership:
Tokenizing certified, in-ground gold reserves — backed 1:1 — without the environmental destruction, permitting delays, or capital intensity of traditional mining.
NatGold, in Brian’s thesis, is not speculation.
It is infrastructure for the Monetary Reformation.
A Global Network at the Intersection of Power & Capital
Over three decades, Brian has cultivated a rare network that spans:
- Hedge fund managers overseeing multi-billion-dollar portfolios
- Mining CEOs controlling strategic deposits across North and South America
- Energy executives spearheading LNG, nuclear, and grid modernization projects
- Policy advisors and high-ranking officials in Washington, D.C.
- International entrepreneurs leading resource development in Australia, Africa, and Latin America
The Resource Wars & Strategic Metals
As Managing Editor and Investment Director of:
- R.I.C.H. Report
- New World Assets
- Extreme Opportunities
Brian focuses on what he calls “Resource War Alpha.”
His research highlights:
- The stockpiling of uranium and rare earths
- Expansion of FAST-41 infrastructure acceleration policies
- The reshoring of mining and refining capacity
- Strategic metals as national security assets
From copper required for AI data centers…
To uranium fueling next-generation reactors…
To gold re-emerging as sovereign collateral…
Brian positions his readers ahead of capital flows — not after headlines.
