For those of you comparing gold to bitcoin, don’t.
The gold price is suppressed because gold is too easy to mine with modern mining techniques. Gold has a supply problem, there is too much of it. We have mined far more gold since 1950 than we have in all of history, and that has flooded the market.
The best estimates currently available suggest that around 190,040 tonnes of gold has been mined throughout history, of which around two-thirds has been mined since 1950.

A single planned mine expansion in Australia (BHP Olympic Dam) would yield 15,000 tonnes of gold and 90,000 tonnes of silver. That’s almost 10% of historical global supply from a single mine. No market can absorb that type of new supply without collapsing the price.
So ignore the 4th dimension conspiracy bullshit, because the author doesn’t know how supply and demand works in the gold market.
Bitcoin is scarce. Gold is as common as dirt.
