For the first time ever, I learned from this video of the Great Gold Rush of 1833. I wonder where, and on what scale, this gold rush was.

I thought this video was supposed to be about price Discovery model of gold yet you did not mention the fake paper trading derivatives contracts at all? How about talking about the fact there is 200 paper contracts (claims on gold) for every 1 oz of real gold.. the price Discovery model is broken nothing but lies 😢

Ok, so explain to me like I’m 5. When the economy is doing badly, the price of gold increases. When the economy starts to recover, the price of gold drops. So, it’s likely best to buy gold during a booming economy?

in 1:01 min you said that in the last 50 Years its made yearly returns of 7.5%. so when you multiplie 7.5% x 50 Years= 375% from where comes the 4000%

What determines the price of gold? Is the central bank shorting without reporting? Same with other commodities? Can't audit the Fed.

Commodities recently have declining prices, while retail prices are continuing to increase. Except for oil, where retail price tracks spot market price. Look at agricultural prices, in particular, then go to the grocery store. Every week grocery store prices are increasing, while most agri-commodity exchange prices are almost back to the prices of a year ago. Why does retail food price not track the market price, when oil does? The market dynamics seems to be manipulated.

Is there a way to know what central banks are actually doing? Again, they will not submit to an audit.

ps, the gold price action this year implies there is no bear market, yet we are in a bear market. Repeating myself, Are central banks protecting the currency by manipulating gold prices?

How come real silver is on sale? After all, it's only $ 20 billion of annual production, it can be bought by any billionaire and nothing will be left? and they print $350 billion in two days? and hundreds of trillions of dollars of debt in the world with no real value?

isnt golds value traditionally reflected by governments and kingdoms willingness to use it as a standard? now... when you buy gold, you often arent even in physical ownership of it. its like being declared a lord in the uk because you bought some dirt.

people are flocking to gold because it is, ultimately, emotionally comforting. which... i guess is like anything else. we all want control, security...

Gold used to be relevant when it was used as legal tender. But now we have evolved as species and human beings, digital currency is much more useful than physical currency. I say this as I hold gold miners as a diversification strategy. Gold is cyclical, and for whatever odd reason, negative real interest rates drive Gold! But to be honest with you: Digital currency and fiat > Gold
