I was contemplating asking about gold actually.

Gold in the 1940s was money and that led to its appreciation. Today debt is money. With BTC eating gold’s lunch as an alternative store of value, gold needing to be sold by sovereigns to acquire dollars, plus the ongoing manipulation of gold markets…

is there a chance that gold doesn’t appreciate like most expect this decade? Or should it just be viewed as another appreciating commodity that will be in demand?
