Gold-making machines are real, undermining gold's scarcity. Gold goes to zero; unlike Bitcoin, whose supply is fixed at 21 million, new gold can be made. x.com 

Gold should peak and then fall over the next 10-15 years as advancing technology and robotics make it easier to find and mine new supply. Diamonds show the pattern: more supply entering circulation has pushed prices down 70% from their 2011 high to the lowest this century. As gold falls, bitcoin should rise more aggressively as its scarcity compounds and demand increases. x.com 

Gold is set to take off as energy-driven stagflation traps the Fed and negative real rates favor it. Today's dovish hold was likely its last chance to hike: once the AI bubble bursts, the Fed loses that option, while current debt-to-GDP rules out Volcker-style hikes without fiscal insolvency. Per Macrotrends' chart, gold rose eightfold from its 1976 low to its 1980 high, equivalent to $32,000 gold over five years in today's terms. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Gold will see a diamond-like price decline if lab-grown gold takes hold. The quoted post says lab-grown diamonds halved diamond prices since 2016; gold is currently the largest asset class on Earth, so its money moving into Bitcoin could be consequential. x.com 

There is no reason to hold gold. x.com 

Gold is extremely attractive now because rising market fear could make it a great hedge. It has fallen nearly 30% from its January all-time high and returned to the accumulation zone. If this level holds, expect a bounce soon. x.com 

Gold is hard to hold at a 0% yield while interest rates keep rising. @Mr_Derivatives notes gold's 3.93% drop at the close was the fifth-worst drawdown of the year, driven by rates. x.com 

Gold's failure to rise even after rates pulled back decently challenges the earlier high-rate explanation for its weakness. GLD is close to fresh 11-month lows and just closed at a new 14-month low relative to the S&P 500. Gold has trended down since its parabolic January peak. x.com  x.com 

Gold is the best protection against a big shock as the world economy feels more fragile than before. Bond yields, government debt, AI funding and the geopolitical situation are all concerning, so gold, rather than bonds, is the asset worth holding alongside stocks. x.com 

Gold tends to perform poorly when liquidity contracts, while it performs best during recoveries. Gold looks likely to fall next year. x.com  x.com
