Topic: anyone noticed gold today? (Read 2207 times)
Amazing video.
Take away the speculation and, poof, there goes the value. The majority of it at least.
And that's the difference to Bitcoin?

gold will always have a use and a strong value. there is gold in every computer that bitcoin clients are running on for starters. Gold is on the fingers of a huge amount of woman because it looks good.
and like bitcoin the world only has a finite amount of gold, Infact you can fit the whole worlds yearly gold that is mined in the space of a transit van. Also like bitcoin gold is getting harder to mine and we are pulling less and less out of the ground even though mining equipment is getting better and better.
In my opinion gold wont stay down for a long time.

You'd enjoy listening to this great debate between Doug Casey and John matonis. Or maybe not.
Anyways, matonis makes the great point that perhaps 95 percent of gold's current value is due to speculative investments, not from it's intrinsic value. I've made that argument for a long time.

Some say you should diversify into PM's.
I've been buying PM's for a while now.
Didn't think it would drop this low again. Good buy op.

I'd be with you.....in a world without bitcoin. I believe cypherdoc's thesis; the case for gold is tremendously weakened in a world where better gold exists: bitcoin.

Summary; there are a lot of people who bought gold thinking the dollar would crash due to money printing. That is no longer seen as a credible risk so they are moving out of gold. The price will fall for the next few years as a result.
Most wise investors are obviously in the stockmarket which happens to be going crazy right now due to all the money printing. When the music stops, everyone is going to go rushing into gold, silver and that's when bitcoin is really going to explode.
We're increasing the money supply at 8-12% a year, yet inflation is only claimed to be 2% due to a seriously messed up CPI.
People talk about a bitcoin bubble! wait and see what happens when the easy money days end. When the fed ends their bad mortgage program, and raises interest rates it's going to be akin to taking a needle to a ballon, in an already fragile economy. Look at fed interest rates in relation to the 2008 crash... Same thing happened

yea he did, he also pulled up a very interesting chart:
not sure what I am seeing here... but it looks like his line goes back in time....

when they smashed silver and gold in the 70s gold dropped down to under $400
hmmm. now they're smashing AND we have Bitcoin.
sounds reasonable to me.
When they smashed silver and gold in the 70s gold dropped down to under $400... and then shot up to over 800 in day. That's the pattern everyone has been expecting.
They're going to crash it hard.
Didn't think it would come this quick
