That is why we should ditch paper and go full electronic, eth to the moon. Though china has built empires on paper before other countries mainly the usa adopted it.
@@Hybridious Crypto is bull sh*t.
@@neddiego2570 Maybe, but at least in BTC and ETH(not talking 2.0) there will always be a finite number and it cannot have more coins minted/mined. Where fiat can be printed and gold have more mined(or be dilluted). With crypto its pretty easy to know if your crypto in terms of tokens are legit, and easier for BTC since everyone can see total reserve. Though I can understand not liking Crypto if your planning on holding for over a hundred years, then gold/rhodium would probably be better choices. || If you said "NFTs are bull [...]" then I would've agreed, the currently implementation is flawed.
Yeah, that paper would solve my problems rn

Currencies are not real money.
GOLD is real money
money isn't real
GOLD is NOT a currency. Jesus.
bitTorrenter gold was when the USA was founded. Gold and Silver were seen as the only money that would preserve the USA forever. Bankers and the greedy always love bread moments of fake money where they can temporarily live like gods and kings among men then the entire empire of not globe dies... Gold in some states is currently allowed as legal tender and it used to be until the illegal creation of the privately owned US Central Bank.

"Most Central Bankers want to weaken the currency"
Respeck man
"Gold is just another currency". That's why you find it in the Commodities section ;-) Governments and Bankers want you to think that it's jewelry.
Looks like redeemable digital gold and silver will be a safe hedge against the fake fiat currencies @t
Not just another currency. It is money, unlike currencies
Jewelry and gold are Two different things 🤔
Gold is worth something where money is fancy toilet paper.
Is this a 2019 interview? Looks like the 80's and sounds like the 80's
He doesn't mention the EURO when listing several important currencies so I guess this is not from recent years.

@@TitusRex
No, this is a recent interview, this guy just don't like the Euro and he is pushing for consumers to buy gold. that is why he does not mentions the Euro.
Gold was also at the current prices in the 80's.
something about the guy's hair ...
Gold is not "just another currency, like the Yen or Dollar..." It's a store of wealth & has industrial uses.Unlike those fiat currencies, it has maintained it's value over the centuries & you can't simply print up more (allowing it to be debased like fiat currency).
Gold is power over technology.
Gold is even used in space suits and shuttles. It has actual utility.
When shit breaks lose, gold is what everyone wants
Gold and other precious materials have been referred to as “God’s Money” for a reason, spot on!
Did you write a typo? Did you mean "not debased"?
China has 40,000 tons. Once they announce what they really have US dollar is OVER.
In December 1997, The Financial Times ran an article entitled “The Death of Gold.” Since then, the gold price in US dollars has increased 519% from $288 to $1,780. Today, after many political events and crises we have evidence of the continuous and in many ways spectacular growth of the gold price. This confluence of many current events is creating a perfect storm for gold to increase dramatically more than we imagined.
If you invest 288 in SPY, you would get 2253 today. Invest in value producing companies.
@@pengbertuuu Gold is not an investment, it's a store of value that will outlast every index in the case that you actually need to use it.
Who owned/owns the FT ??
Right now, once the active phase of the recession has started in the U.S., gold is a really decent way out. It's the physical asset at the comfort of your house which you really own and which won't get extinct when banks collapse.
Let's put it this way the central bank is printing papers (Currency) and selling it to you as "Real Money" to buy the actual money (Gold). Which is such a genus move selling printed paper for Gold.
INFLATION!!! When the value of a dollar goes down, the value of gold goes up. Gold is a currency that is immune from inflation devaluing it.
So who wanna buy your gold if inflafion is 10000%? Idiot
@@mronecent he was talking about Inflation, you talk about hyperinflation. Think about it ;)
MrOneCent that’s why you buy fractional and if we do see hyperinflation then you don’t sell it you use it to back real estate purchase or fund other endeavors
Right. Another point is the probability of a worldwide hyperinflation
@@mronecent but yet I'm the idiot, right? Try being a state competitor in both economics for fbla and the Illinois personal finance challenge, then come back to me.
The price of gold does not go up or down in reality, it is more that the (in present day) the $ has either gotten stronger or weaker. That is the beauty of gold, it maintains its value in any fiat based market.
tonycodolo no because gold is finite and rare. The demand of it is increasing so countries will be paying a lot more.
And by that definition i welcome gold $1.000.000.0000.000.000.0000.00 sooner or later
@@MKDC-5 Try telling that to people who bought homes in 2008, and then watched as there home equity went negative.
tonycodolo but a 20-30 years housing and land depression in Japan didn’t scare you away I see
No, the value of gold in a fiat world will fluctuate constantly. But, In a world where currencies are pegged to a set value, then, by definition, the value will not fluctuate. Back in the early twentieth century, a double eagle was 20 dollars. Another way of saying that is that a dollar was worth 1/20 of an ounce of gold. It did not fluctuate. But, the value of gold in fiat dollar terms fluctuates minute by minute.
William Shatner got into a time machine in 1978 and traveled to May 30, 2019.
Do I need to state the obvious, gold has an inverse relationship to the dollar. Buying GOLD means betting against the dollar; for the love of god just say it. These guys are just jumping around the obvious.
Kaplan sold his oil/energy company at the peak price back in 2007. Kaplan now got into gold in a big way at possibly the best time in history to be in it. Gold is now a tier 1 asset in 2023. It will soon be the backstop for revaluation of a new reserve basket of currencies. In so doing, it will most likely enjoy a 15x increase in purchasing power that time.
Kaplan is either very lucky or very well 'informed'. This is the man to emulate in investment strategies as much as possible.
It's sad that the Gold Standard has to be explained in this revolving credit world.
Gold increase their value second after second while money decrease second after second!
Because its.... MY PRECIOUS!!! 🤑🤑🤑
Gold is money, not currency.
That is simple. One word: De-dollarization i happening all over the world
@Francisco Araneta The dollar is going up because it is still the predominant reserve currency now. Moreover, it's the major hard high yield currency of the world now so when there is uncertainty people still pile into the dollar. I would say the situation drastically will change in 10-15 years time.
@Francisco Araneta you just don't get it :D :D :D.... but hey the world is flat LOLOLOLOL
@Francisco Araneta keep it strong! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No it’s not. Take the yuan/ruble deal that the Russians and the Chinese made for purchasing Russian oil. Once the purchase is made, the Russians sell the yuan on the open market for dollars. That’s because the yuan has no real value outside of China. So, in reality, there’s no abandonment of the US dollar. That’s because there’s nothing to replace it, yet.
@@akka2011hk china? Are you being serious right now?? It's falling apart as Im typing this. No, I won't be investing in a third world country like china. Sorry, not sorry.
These other countries realize debt based fiat system growing unsustainable in debt size, gold is real money no counter party risk

You can buy gold derivatives and put it in your balance as gold, that's what a lot of countries actually do. So yes, you CAN indeed print gold.
Until they ask for delivery of said gold and either it's somehow managed to disappear or they try to fake it.
But, they keep telling us that gold is an antiquated concept, a relic of bygone times. But, like Junker said, “when things get drastic, you have to lie. “
I guess currency is very variable as the value of money decreases with inflation while the value of gold increases with inflation.

Wtf? That makes no sense, at all. Gold is only worth what people believe it is worth, it is as much a fiat currency as is any other.
@@tc9634 I think its because gold is more finite than other currencies. Honestly I don't know what makes an ideal currency or for what reasons. For now I just spend dolla billz
The dollar is still king, fiat or not.
@@MrCTruck oh good point, Eve online is a bit like that with PLEX Vs ISK. There is almost always more ISK coming into the game (more currency being created than deleted) whereas the PLEX supply is determined by players creating Plex by buying it irl, and deleting it by converting to game time. It seems that the game Devs try to balance these variables to ensure a constant supply.
Tim Collins as is everything else. But, at least gold has some intrinsic value. It takes effort to get it out of the ground, it can’t be printed, it’s durable, and it’s been a medium of exchange for millennia. So, it’s a hell of a lot better than anything else that I can think of
Central banks are buying gold because the dollar is basically a reality tv show right now.

Gold is the only currency that do not lost it's value
The value of gold doesnt increase, its the money that loses value.

Fiat currencies are not real money. FRB, IMF & BIS etc. want you think it is only form of currency, but it is not.
Gold & silvers will be real money even after the current monetary system dismissed.
Perspective on the Russian buying of gold now may be different
Gold is the only currency that can't be printed
Gold will always hold its value
"Always" - completely wrong. When space mining comes around gold will cost cents.
IF we get to that part. Likely, but you can't know for sure.
There's more gold in a single asteroid than all the gold ever mined on earth
@@BadBoiFX to be fair, at that point every resource would cost cents.
@@BadBoiFX gold is very heavy so it will cost as much as it's worth to bring it back to Earth. So will there be a fort Knox on the moon where low gravity will make it easier to get it there. Wait why not just leave it on the asteroid and declare that you own the asteroid.
When you strip away the emotional, any asset is just another currency. It is just a matter of how inconvenient it is to trade with.
This has become abundantly clear to me now that I have money sitting in the bank getting devalued.
"And particularly the Russians"
Indeed. The world has been accumulating gold since the global financial crisis, apart from the main western countries.

Because fiat currency is a real value of zero, when faith in fiat is gone.
if faith in gold is gone - it will be gone too
so - it is not a difference
but nobody can print gold - it is different
russians mine it and accumulate
same with uranium (but it is not considered a currency)
The USD is not a true fiat currency, the USD is also backed by oil.

Throughout history, paper has always been debased. Since the federal reserve was established, the value of the dollar has gone from a dollar, to seven cents. Gold, on the other hand, has risen in value.
Case closed. Gold (and to a limited degree, silver) is the ultimate preservation of wealth.

It was only since during d time of u.s. Pres. Nixon that a gold reserve was not the base standard on the federal reserve but a printed u.s.dollar bill became the bench mark of trade n currency. In that way can a monopoly of a certain private financial cartel can have a grip of control in a global scale. If this thing collapse because of volatility an unavoidable economic downturn will happen it will lead to a need to get back to a genuine gold reserve note in enable each central banks to print their currency base on the standard gold reserved deposits.

paper bill no value just printed numbers
Fiat money is all faith no value
Gold is valuable if you expect your country to fail.

Gold and BTC going to skyrocket in the next crash. For an incredibly undervalued GLD stock check out HMY stock ;)
if gold goes up by 10% it'll add another trillion dollars to its value and bitcoin 10x it'll add about the same amount to its value. be smart and buy bitcoin. and btw i checked out that stock, the chart looks nasty can you imagine buying it in 2011? lol
@@realgood537 Stock chart does indeed look like trash- doesn't mean it isn't a highly undervalued company in this market. I am personally hedged with both gld & btc - despite agreeing with you that btc will most likely outperform I also believe there will be significant "traditional" inflows into gld - most hedge funds and institutions with the cash are still from the old generation.
@@realgood537 btw I forgot to mention - when talking about multiples GLD stocks aren't simply correlated to GLD but they are also leveraged to GLD. Means if price of gold increases by half (to say ~1900) gold stocks wil * 10 easy.

@@__Wanderer i know nothing about this stock i just looked up the chart das all and you could be right it could be undervalued. i mainly day trade crypto and accumulate btc since i really believe it'll continue to outperform any other assets out there. to me it is a btc vs gold/fiat battle and innovation usually destroys everything else. for example, if we were in the 90s we would argue what would be better amazon or walmart. walmart was a big company that attracted hedge funds and big money and amazon attracted small investment. walmart is now bigger than ever but it has only x8 since the 90s and amazon on the other hand has more than 1000x. good on you hedging on btc and spreading your money in different assets in case shit goes south with btc for whatever reason you'd still have something. i am just pretty happy and satisfied with crypto and btc returns that i can't even consider traditional assets. btc if succeeds, in 20 years, more or less, we could start using the network for different things than settlements. it is a great tool for verifying and facilitate contracts. it could be a game changer that you can't put a price on it. gold on the other hand is not really that useful. it is only used for jewelry and in some cases for tech products. but if the price jumps a lot wouldn't tech company ditches it and look for alternative since it would make their products expensive? idk but as of rn it is still the best store of value since it's been around for thousands of years and ppl feel comfortable with it. but this could change if btc or something else offers ppl the same with better usage cases
Bitcoin is better than gold, actually, is like the virtual gold, and we know its max supply (21,000,000), we can always find more gold, even in the space.
