$BTC I keep a simple log of gold because it teaches me how markets react to fear. Sharing my notes ๐
$PAXG / Gold Price Journey:
๐ 2000: โผ$270 Start of my data
๐ 2008: $800+ Global financial crisis hit
๐ 2011: $1,800+ QE + uncertainty pushed it up
๐ 2015โ2018: $1,100โ$1,300 Strong dollar, calm period
๐ฆ 2020: $2,070 COVID panic, fastest spike Iโve seen
๐ 2023: $2,000+ Found new support, stayed strong
๐ฅ 2026: $3,000 โ $4,600+ Current range with geopolitical risk
What I observe in my tracking:
๐ง Pattern that repeats:
1. Major crisis = Capital flows to gold ๐
2. Stable years = Gold consolidates/slows ๐
3. High inflation periods = Gold trends up steadily ๐
๐ฐ How I view gold in my portfolio:
For me, gold isnโt a trade. Itโs insurance.
๐ Has protected purchasing power across decades
๐ Performed during every major crisis Iโve studied
๐ Moves slower than crypto, but with less stress
My simple framework:
๐ก Gold = Wealth preservation, peace of mind
๐ Crypto = Asymmetric bets, high volatility
๐ Stocks = Long-term compounding, business ownership
I personally hold all three. The mix depends on risk appetite.
Question for you all:
Based on your goals for 2026โ2036, which asset class gives YOU the most confidence? ๐ก๐๐
