Don’t Be Fooled by the $4,000 Gold Price – The Real Storm Is Just Beginning
Let me shoot straight with you.
Gold is on fire—up over 50% this year. Silver? Even wilder, with a 71% run that’s blown past that legendary $50 mark. Wall Street’s buzzing with talk about whether we’re at the top, with some folks whispering about a “correction” like it’s the next apocalypse.
But I’ve seen this movie before.
They said the same thing when gold punched through $2,000 back in the early ‘20s. Again when it hit $2,400. And again at $3,000. Each time, the talking heads called the top. Each time, gold pushed higher. So here we are again—$4,000—and now they’re wondering: Is it time to be a bearish gold bull?
That phrase makes about as much sense as an inflatable dartboard.
Let’s Break It Down: What’s Really Happening
Since late 2022, gold’s been on a historic tear. The engine behind it? Not just “investor optimism,” but something much bigger—and much more dangerous:
- Runaway inflation (they’re lying to you about the CPI numbers),
- Trillions in government debt with no plan to stop printing,
- A crumbling dollar that’s lost its global credibility,
- Geopolitical chaos from every corner of the globe, and
- Widespread distrust in banks after last year’s regional bank failures.
The elites don’t want to talk about that. They want to talk about “overcrowded markets.” But guess what?
Gold Is Still Underowned
Right now, gold makes up about 2% of global financial assets. Most serious experts recommend at least 5–10%. So don’t believe the hype that this market is overcrowded. It’s barely begun to wake up.
According to the World Gold Council, gold-backed ETFs took in 221.7 tonnes in Q3 alone, nearly $26 billion. That’s not a bubble—it’s panic buying by institutions finally waking up to the truth: The system is broken.
And yet, here come the analysts with their “correction” predictions. Maybe gold pulls back 10% to $3,600. Maybe it takes a breather. That’s normal. That’s healthy. In fact, the sharpest drop we’ve seen since this run began was a measly 6.3%—and gold bounced right back.
What You Should Really Be Worried About
While Wall Street is playing short-term games, Main Street is getting squeezed:
- Your dollar’s buying less every month.
- The Fed keeps playing God with interest rates.
- FedNow is already here—quietly expanding the government's power over your transactions.
- And ISO 20022—the international payment messaging standard—is the digital highway that could one day carry central bank digital currencies into your everyday life, whether you want them or not.
Now to be fair, President Trump signed an executive order banning CBDCs during his administration. That was a win for monetary freedom. But here’s the thing:
If the highway is built, it’s only a matter of time before someone decides to drive on it.
Just like a highway can carry groceries or a tank, ISO 20022 is infrastructure—and once it's in place, the temptation to use it for centralized digital control is too strong for the bureaucrats to ignore.
So while we may have dodged the bullet for now, the chamber’s still loaded.
Gold Isn’t the Bubble. Fiat Is.
Just like a used car losing value the second you drive it off the lot, every dollar in your savings is worth less tomorrow than it was today. That’s not speculation—that’s math.
So yeah, take profits if you need to. Lock in gains. Enjoy your weekend. But don’t take your eye off the bigger picture. Gold isn’t topping out. It’s gearing up for the real leg higher.
