Mike Maloney’s Farewell & Future Plans

This conversation between Mike Maloney and Allen, recorded shortly before Mike’s planned year-long hiatus, details his reasons for stepping back from regular video production and outlines his future plans. The primary driver for this decision is Mike’s health; he was diagnosed with slow-growing prostate cancer in 2017 and is now embarking on an intensive therapy regimen.

Health & Treatment Details

Mike explained he’s chosen to pursue a non-traditional approach to his cancer treatment, combining natural therapies with medical oversight. He is undergoing a therapy designed by himself, based on a review of scientific and medical papers, utilizing substances like menendazol, fenbendazol, ivermectin, methylene blue, and curcumin, alongside a high-ketosis diet. He emphasized his active role in designing the therapy, stating, “I supplied all the scientific papers. I supplied the medical papers…showing the results from combinations…” This approach reflects his commitment to research and independent thinking.

The Goldsilver.com Mission & Legacy

The conversation frequently returns to the core mission of Goldsilver.com: “to enlighten the world that maximum prosperity can only be achieved through individual freedom, free markets, and sound money.” Mike reiterated that the precious metals dealership was initially established to fund this educational endeavor, highlighting his passion for disseminating economic knowledge. He expressed immense satisfaction in the positive impact his work has had on viewers, citing numerous examples shared by Allen from the audience.

One viewer, Dominic, shared how a 2019 gold purchase helped with unexpected bills, while Patty credited Hidden Secrets of Money with initiating her economic education. Lori described mandating the reading of Mike’s second book for her son, fostering financial literacy from a young age. DIY Dave, in a particularly impactful comment, highlighted Mike’s ranking alongside prominent sound money educators like Ron Paul and Murray Rothbard, as determined by ChatGPT. Mike acknowledged the importance of this legacy, stating, “If I can somehow affect generations positively, uh, that is the reward for all of this.”

Future Communication & Insiders Program

While stepping back from regular video creation, Mike intends to remain engaged with the community through his X.com account (mike_maloney), where he will share economic commentary. The future of the “Insiders” program remains undecided, with Allen stating they need “a couple of weeks” to determine how to proceed. Mike assured viewers he would fulfill his commitment to the program.

Freedom Farm & Sustainable Agriculture

Mike also discussed his Freedom Farm in Puerto Rico, outlining its mission to develop sustainable and carbon-negative farming techniques. He explained the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the Jones Act and the local agricultural landscape. The farm’s goal is to make regenerative agriculture more profitable than conventional methods, driving widespread adoption and promoting a healthier food system. He stated, “Farming is the only thing that mankind does globally on a massive scale that should be carbon negative.”

Reflecting on Challenges & Gratitude

Mike candidly shared some of the personal hardships he faced while building Goldsilver.com, including undergoing chemotherapy during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse and continuing to produce content while his mother was dying. He emphasized that the positive feedback from viewers made these challenges worthwhile. He expressed deep gratitude to Allen for his contributions over the past seven years, particularly in assisting with the research and writing of The Great Gold and Silver Rush. He acknowledged Allen’s ability to simplify complex economic concepts, a skill he learned from Robert Kiyosaki: “never speak over somebody's head and always define all of the terms that you use.”

The Initial Connection & Early Support

Allen shared the original email he sent to Mike in January 2019, expressing admiration for Mike’s data-driven approach, ethical principles, and desire to help others. This email offered Allen’s pro bono services for backend analysis and prep work, marking the beginning of their long-term collaboration.
