U.S. debt has been growing much faster than the economy for over two decades

Since 2000, U.S. debt has compounded at 7.7% annually, far outpacing nominal GDP (~4.5%) and the 10-year Treasury yield (~4%). Meanwhile, gold supply has expanded by only about 1.5% per year. For central banks, the contrast is striking: one asset becomes increasingly abundant as debt issuance accelerates, while the other remains structurally scarce. That helps explain why many central banks have been steadily increasing their gold holdings in recent years. Source: Lukas Ekwueme @ekwufinance

Gold isn't about cash flows or valuations. It's about trust.

For centuries, gold anchored monetary systems and provided confidence when fiat currencies eventually lost it. Today, global debt has exploded to $350 trillion, while only about 25% of all fiat money is backed by the value of all the gold above ground, down from 60–100% throughout most of history. At the same time, governments continue printing money to finance ever-rising debt. China appears to understand this dynamic: it is simultaneously expanding debt and aggressively accumulating gold. If history rhymes, gold may not simply rise in price—it may be revalued as confidence in fiat currencies is tested. Source: jeroen blokland
