There has always been an inverse relationship between gold price and the dollar. One of the measurement scales of the demand for the dollar is the DXY index, which is the average index of the dollar equivalent of 5 countries’ currencies. If the DXY index is increasing, it means that the demand for dollars in the world is increasing. As can be seen in the graph, the reverse relationship between the dollar DXY index and the gold ounce price in the last year is quite clear. With the DXY rising, the gold price is falling and vice versa. The DXY index has started to decline accordingly, as the reserve currency of the dollar has weakened more and more, and gold has started to attack. This was an expected development. (more…)
Money can essentially be studied in two forms, these are the limited (solid) form and the unlimited form. Limited money is the metals with intrinsic value such as gold, silver, platinum, which cannot be produced in the desired amount by the states, whose amount is limited in the world.

We entered the first phase of the period that the world will call the “worst financial crisis” last March 2020. The main cause of this crisis is the system itself. We are approaching the end of the global unlimited money experiment we have experienced since 1971, when the dollar as a reserve currency was completely disconnected from gold. In order to better understand the fiat money system (fiat paper money, currency) we are in, we must first understand the system known as the gold standard, in which money is printed based on valuable commodities such as gold and silver. One of the reasons for the global financial crisis we are in and is at the beginning is that we do not know the difference between the exchange tool called fiat money (originally called currency) and money (commodity, money, which is limited and has its own intrinsic value), which we use as cash and is printed unlimitedly. Fiat money has features such as being a medium of exchange, being a unit of value calculation, being portable, divisible, and being the same as its counterparts. In fact, money also has an intrinsic value like gold and silver, apart from the above. Throughout history, whoever owns more gold has made the rules. (more…)
