He explained that while annual demand is surpassing 1.3 billion ounces, mining supply has stagnated around 800–830 million ounces, well below its 2016 peak, and recycling efforts fall far short of bridging the gap.

He argues that U.S. Mint lineage coinage, like Gold and Silver Eagles, may offer legal protection from future government confiscation, unlike bars or foreign coins. Holter also highlights a rapid global shift away from the U.S. dolla...

And partly due to high energy costs, there is likely no relief coming for high prices. "The level of inflation has destroyed the middle class," he argues. While central banks have been accumulating hard assets like gold, the movements in...
