Gold SOARS Past $4,000 in Terrifying Signal That "FIAT IS FINISHED"...

And suddenly, doomsday mouth breathers look like genius’...

The world’s oldest “I don’t trust the government” asset just broke through a level that used to be reserved for doomsday preppers and bug out comment sections. Gold is now sitting north of $4,000/oz, up 50% year-to-date, and it’s sending the same message Jim Rickards has been screaming since 2008… fiat is finished, kids.

Central banks are buying, currencies are melting, and the only thing that still glitters Gods money. Why? Because the stage is set more than ever. For instance, France just lost its third government in twelve months, the Euro is drooling at $1.17, and even Italy looks stable by comparison. The continent that invented credit is now choking on it. Meanwhile, the U.S. is playing “Fiscal Chicken” with a $34 trillion national debt and a Fed that’s pretending to be independent while quietly juicing liquidity again.

Rabobank calls it the “fiscal event horizon”... the point where governments stop pretending they’ll ever pay anything back and just inflate their way into the abyss. Translation: every major economy is trying to fix a debt problem by printing money, and gold is the only thing that doesn’t have a central banker attached to it. Which means, the ones driving this meltup are the one’s who actually run the world’s balance sheets. Central banks… especially in emerging markets…are hoarding bullion like it’s toilet paper in 2020. China’s quietly swapped U.S. Treasuries for gold bars. Russia’s been stacking since the sanctions hit. Even Brazil’s in on it. 

Additionally, Goldman raised its price target to $4,900 by 2026, betting on continued central bank buying, a Fed rate-cutting cycle, and a slow-motion collapse in faith in Western paper assets. ETFs are seeing their largest inflows in three years, speculative traders are back, and retail investors who couldn’t tell a 10-K from a Krugerrand are suddenly tweeting about “hard money.” Case in point: The last time this dynamic played out, Nixon was lying about inflation, the Fed was faking independence, and disco was still considered art.

Which means… which means… we’re not at the point where this movement is no longer considered “fear”... but migration. Capital is leaving “trust-based systems” and moving to “please-don’t-die systems.” Bonds are dead weight as foreign buying drops at auctions, currencies are a joke, and equities are still fine… that is until the next rate cut erases what’s left of purchasing power. Wall Street, of course, is playing both sides now. Goldman’s desk reportedly proposed a 10x leveraged binary call on gold LOL. Meanwhile, European investors are pulling a move called the Turkish Portfolio: 50% gold, 50% stocks, 0% faith in their governments.

So yeah… sh*t is starting to hit the fan. Add the fact that China just told Australian miners to start settling iron ore in yuan, not dollars… and the writing is on the wall. The same China that produces 54% of the world’s steel is now testing what happens when it stops needing the dollar at all. Meaning, if China is making the first move… expect others to follow. Now of course, you can call it a hedge, a warning, or a prophecy. But one thing’s for sure… if this keeps up, the only thing holding value by 2026 will be gold, land, and maybe a TSMC fab guarded by OpenAI interns with AR-15s. Who knows. Until next time, friends…
