Gold: The Legacy of Empires, the Currency of the Future

“In a world full of financial heartbreak and broken promises, gold is the only asset that has always kept its promise.” — Brian Hicks

For millennia, civilizations have built empires on gold’s glitter — Rome’s treasury, Chinese dynastic coffers, Spanish galleons in the Age of Discovery. 

Today, gold isn’t merely jewelry or bars; it’s geopolitics, global central banking, and a counterweight to fiat trust. In this unfolding drama, my long-term prediction — $16,402 per ounce — echoes both history and strategic insight.

Let’s go through why gold is about to go on a historic bull market, by the numbers…

1. Ray Dalio’s Strategic Accumulation

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has long championed gold as a hedge against currency devaluation and systemic risk. In recent months, he has dramatically increased his physical gold allocations — investing $319 million in Q1 alone via Bridgewater funds. His reasoning is rooted in history: From gold's growth.

Dalio’s logic dovetails with our forecast: Gold’s millennial arc is intersecting with a weakening dollar, ballooning global debt, and shifting world order. His mantra resonates: Gold is "independent of any one nation’s economy."

2. Billionaire Buying and Mining Stakes

The gold rush isn’t limited to the mega hedge funds. Billionaires are staking claims.

• John Paulson — famed from the 2008 credit crisis — predicts $5,000 gold by 2028. He’s poured $1 billion into the Donlin Gold project in Alaska, targeting one of the world’s richest undeveloped deposits. He argues central banks’ turn away from fiat is the primary driver.
• Thomas Kaplan, gold-mining entrepreneur and partner in Donlin via NovaGold, has echoed this bullish thesis. His Kaplan Doctrine preaches that one should invest in high-quality, scalable deposits in safe jurisdictions.

This movement reflects a broader trend: Financial heavyweights are shifting from passive bullion to leveraged exposure through mines. I'm confident that my gold price target of $16,402 isn’t a moonshot — it’s strategy.

3. Central Banks: The Modern Gold Custodians

Central banks drive gold’s bull market. An HSBC survey (January 2025) of 72 central banks revealed that over a third planned to increase gold holdings — and none planned reductions. Bloomberg confirms this trend: “Central banks will keep buying gold in a push to diversify away from paper currencies amid political and economic upheaval.”

BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are leading this cache. Russia has been stockpiling since its 2022 reserve confiscation — a cautionary tale for fiat. China and India, culturally gold-centric, have not only increased reserves, but also boosted local bullion demand. As one analyst put it, gold is becoming the “de‑dollarization tool” against Western financial coercion.

4. BRICS and the Push for Gold-Based Finance

The rise of BRICS is not just trade and politics but monetary strategy. India, China, Russia, and others are exploring de‑dollarized trade settlements, potentially even in gold-backed structures. While a formal “gold-based currency” union remains aspirational, the momentum is unmistakable.

BRICS members are aggressively increasing gold reserves as insurance. A well-known slogan circulated in their circles: “When U.S. paper whispers, BRICS gold roars.” As global power dynamics shift, gold’s role is redefining world finance.

5. The Crumbling Pillar: Declining U.S. Dollar

The gold‑dollar inverse dance is textbook — but accelerating. The dollar faces:

• Skyrocketing national debt (now nearing 140% of GDP)
• Chronic budget deficits
• Independent Fed under pressure, fueling inflation concerns
• Trade tension flare-ups, eroding dollar trust

These dynamics create fertile ground for gold’s ascent. Wealth Daily’s $16,402 forecast hinges on persistent dollar erosion — a narrative Dalio, Paulson, and central banks seem to agree with.

6. Asia’s Retail Gold Frenzy

Asia — the world’s gold heart — continues to surge. A report from the Singapore Bullion Market Association emphasizes the region’s retail appetite. Yet our roadmap to $16,402 is not fantasy — it’s a storyline where:

Our $16,402 forecast captures gold’s multi‑thread convergence, not just price but meaning. In the clash of fiat fragility and global transition, gold isn’t just a hedge — it’s history.

Now, if gold is headed to $16,402 an ounce (many others believe it’ll go even higher), then reserving your NatGold tokens right now is a no-brainer.

Understand this: As gold goes higher, its intrinsic value goes higher. However, the cost of production remains relatively the same, meaning the value of NatGold tokens will go to the moon and beyond… and so will your profits.

So I urge you to take advantage of this very special opportunity that I was able to get NatGold’s CEO to agree to.

Let me explain…

A New Gold Rush Begins: How NatGold Tokens Let You Own a Piece of America Before Wall Street Even Knows It Exists

What if you could invest in the gold beneath America’s soil — before a single ounce is ever mined?

What if you could get there before Wall Street, before the exchanges, before the headlines?

And what if that investment wasn’t just in gold… but in America itself?

That’s the promise of NatGold Tokens — the world’s first blockchain-backed gold tokens tied directly to certified, untapped, in-ground gold deposits located within U.S. borders.

This isn’t a stock. It’s not an ETF. It’s not even another cryptocurrency.

It’s the dawn of a digital gold revolution — and thanks to a bold new direction in U.S. economic policy, it could soon become the cornerstone of America’s financial future.

Trump’s Plan to Launch a $12 Trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund

Earlier this year, President Trump signed Executive Order 14241, which opens the door to the development of 640 million acres of federal land containing an estimated $100 trillion in untapped mineral wealth.

That includes massive reserves of copper, uranium, rare earths, and most importantly: gold.

Trump’s vision? To create a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund powered by tokenized natural resources — a way to finally monetize America’s underground treasure without waiting decades for permits and production.

In other words: America is about to digitize its own wealth.

And NatGold is the first mover in this transformation.

Tokenizing the Untouchable: Pebble Creek, Donlin, and Beyond

For decades, the U.S. has sat on some of the most valuable — and inaccessible — gold deposits on Earth.

• Pebble Creek (Alaska) — One of the world’s largest undeveloped gold-copper resources, stalled for years by environmental red tape.
• Donlin Gold (Alaska) — Holds over 39 million ounces of gold, with permitting battles preventing production for decades.
• Ruth, Nevada — A high-grade gold zone with billions in buried value, largely abandoned due to outdated mining laws.

These are just a few of the many "stranded assets" that NatGold aims to unlock — not by mining them, but by tokenizing them.

Each NatGold Token is backed by real geological data verified under NI 43-101 standards, giving token holders legal claim to a share of these assets.

This is gold ownership without bulldozers, permits, or lawsuits — and with zero environmental impact.

Gold: Once Again, the Foundation of U.S. Monetary Policy

Since 1971, the U.S. dollar has floated freely — no longer backed by gold.

But history has a way of coming full circle.

With global debt exploding, inflation still sticky, and rival economies like BRICS planning gold-backed currencies, the United States is quietly bringing gold back to the table.

Trump has already floated the idea of a new gold standard — this time, built on the blockchain.

That means owning gold won’t just be smart — it could become core to U.S. fiscal policy.

And with NatGold Tokens, everyday investors can get in before that happens.
