Yesterday I was in gold store where one can buy gold bars, coins, diamonds, etc
Talked with the seller and he says that January is already a record month and they see a lot of demand for gold bars
Worth to mention that 2022 was also the best year for them, so if January 2023 is even better, it shows there is and will be a lot of demand, especially if inflation will be still displayed in 2 digits number it will drive a lot of new buyers, they look to diversify wallets but mainly to escape from such insane high inflation.
I haven't bought real gold there and when I told them about GOLD token, that today one can benefit from GOLD price changes using blockchain services, they where blown away and immediately interested. We talked for a while and store owner admitted that this is the future of gold investments, blockchain and crypto, trustless systems.
