Gold is starting to show signs of exponential growth.
If we look how long it took the price of gold to permanently double, historically, it was at €10000 in 2000, then doubled in 2009. Then it doubled again to €40000 in 2019, and again to €80000 in 2024. This means 9 years, then 10 years, then 5 years, but the steepness of the curve at the end is something I’ve historically seen only in hyper-inflationary circumstances. I think gold is catching up to the real estate, and consumer goods that have inflated first. It’s late in reaction because America and the UK are traditionally trying to suppress gold in order to prop up their fiat currencies, but if you look at this chart, it no longer seems to be working that well. Sure, they can bring it down at the end of the week, month or year in order to fake the short-term stats, but at some point soon enough, I don’t think they will have any control at all.
