In a recent video called “Gold Smells Inflation,” Fred Krueger recently delved into gold’s noteworthy performance over the past two decades. He noted that from the early 1980s until 1999, gold endured a prolonged slump, with investor attention largely shifting to stocks, especially those in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.

However, Krueger notes that gold began to rebound in the early 2000s, particularly around 2004, with the advent of gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) boosting its value. Since then, Krueger pointed out, gold has increased tenfold, outpacing the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s fourfold growth.

Krueger attributes the recent climb in gold prices to rising economic instability, particularly in response to proposed policies by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. He compares these policies to those seen in socialist or communist regimes, raising concerns over wage and price controls similar to those implemented in countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

Krueger suggests these economic strategies have rekindled interest in gold as a safeguard against potential economic mismanagement and inflationary pressures. The BTC advocate also explored the relationship between gold and bitcoin, noting that both assets have been on the rise since 2020, despite bitcoin’s more dramatic gains.

He believes bitcoin is on the cusp of a significant breakout, potentially reaching new price highs if not for certain market pressures, such as U.S. government actions and the distribution phase of coins related to Mt Gox. Krueger remains bullish on bitcoin’s future, predicting an “explosive” increase in its value as these pressures ease.

Jack Mallers took to X on Aug. 16 to discuss gold’s new all-time price high. Mallers, too, believes bitcoin is poised to be the next hard asset to climb. “What happens next?” Mallers stated on X. “The highly indebted market’s currency hyper-inflates against hard assets. Bitcoin charts are starting to look a lot like Zimbabwe Dollar charts… Bitcoin is the best expression of fiat debasement. All aboard the fastest horse, number has to go way up,” he added.
