<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 25272362, member: 24754&quot;]Wars, the economy, inflation, etc, etc do of course affect the price of gold. But these days, in my opinion, the biggest influence on gold price is the public perception of crypto-currencies. Gold used to track things like inflation rates and economic trends pretty well, however, it seems to have become a bit disconnected in recent years. I think that is because crypto-currencies have largely displaced the role that gold used to play.... especially among younger people.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the lid should have been blowing off of gold for a long time, and Bitcoin is the thing that has been holding the lid on. The single thing that would cause the biggest jump in gold price would be sudden public distrust in crypto. At least that&#039;s my guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
