Gold: The 'Traditional Anchor' Against Inflation

The total amount of gold is nearly fixed (with an annual increase of about 1.5%)

When fiat currency is issued and purchasing power is diluted, the price of gold naturally rises.

For example:

When the United States decoupled from the gold standard in 1971, gold was priced at $35 per ounce.

Now it's over $2300 per ounce.

👉 The long-term increase is approximately 65 times, which corresponds almost exactly to the growth rate of the dollar M2.

Gold is not actually 'becoming expensive'; it is just that the currency is depreciating.
