When Ray Dalio, one of the most successful hedge fund managers of our time, says gold is going up 10x and silver to $500 — you don’t yawn. You listen.
Because this isn’t just another bullish bet. It’s a code-red warning that the global financial system is about to reset — and that hard assets like gold are about to explode.
And if he’s even half right, that means my price target from White Paper #2 — $13,000–$16,000 gold — is going to look conservative.
And check this out — Ray Dalio is putting money where his mouth is. His Bridgewater Associates recently invested $319 million in SPDR Gold Trust during the first quarter of 2025, as per a new 13F filing with the SEC. For the world’s largest hedge fund, it’s not a mere portfolio adjustment, it’s a shining declaration.
But to understand where we’re headed, we have to look back at one date that changed everything…
August 15, 1971: The Day the Dollar Died
That summer evening, President Richard Nixon stunned the world with an emergency broadcast:
I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold.
In plain English?
He killed the Bretton Woods system — the international monetary agreement that tied the U.S. dollar to gold at $35 an ounce.
It was meant to be temporary. It was permanent.
The U.S. dollar became a pure fiat currency, backed by nothing but the full faith and credit of Washington, D.C.
And what followed was predictable…

Untethered From Gold, the U.S. Went on a Spending Spree
Here’s what happened over the next five decades:
- National debt exploded from $398 billion to over $36 trillion.
- The money supply ballooned from $600 billion to $21.5 trillion.
- The CPI inflation index surged from 40 to over 300.

Price of Gold Between 1971–1980
This was nothing short of a monetary devaluation in slow motion.
But for gold?
It was the beginning of the most explosive bull market in modern history.
The 1970s Gold Explosion: From $35 to $815
From 1971–1980, gold went from a fixed $35 to a record $815 an ounce — a 1,657% gain.
That’s a 17x return in less than a decade.
And what would’ve happened if you had invested just $10,000 in gold when Nixon broke the gold peg?
ROI of a $10,000 Gold Investment in 1971:
- Gold Bought: 285.71 ounces
- Value in 1980: $175,714
- Value Today (at $3,300/oz): $950,000
Not a typo.
Gold outperformed stocks, real estate, and every other asset class during the most turbulent decade in modern U.S. history.
History Doesn’t Repeat — It Rhymes
Fast-forward to 2025…
We’re staring down the barrel of $36 trillion in debt, soaring inflation, wars in Europe, the Middle East and now India and Pakistan. Faith in fiat currencies is collapsing. And the rise of BRICS nations plotting their own gold-backed digital currency is closer than ever before.
Wall Street sees it.
Hedge funds are pouring into gold ETFs, miners, and physical bullion.
Even BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Bridgewater are building gold positions — and fast.
Enter NatGold: The New Digital Gold Standard
Here’s where it gets interesting…
Back in 1971, the U.S. left the gold standard.
Today, under Trump, we may be returning to it.
But this time, with a twist.
There’s a new proposal being floated: A sovereign digital currency backed by real-world assets like gold, oil, and even tokenized reserves.
That’s where NatGold comes in.
It’s not just another crypto.
It’s not just a piece of metal.
It’s a fully digital, fully audited, geologically proven claim on verified unmined gold reserves.
This is real gold, untouched in the ground — now made tradable on the blockchain.
NatGold combines:
✅ The timeless value of gold
✅ The speed and transferability of crypto
✅ The clarity and transparency of blockchain
✅ The environmental responsibility of zero mining impact
The Greatest Asymmetric Bet of Our Generation?
Think about it…
If you missed Bitcoin at $100 (when we first talked about it)…
If you missed Ethereum at $10…
And if you even missed gold at $1,200…
Don’t miss NatGold at its launch.
Because as fiat crumbles, and institutions flock back to gold, NatGold may become the de facto digital gold reserve in a post-dollar world.
This is your 1971 moment.
This is your chance to own the asset that will outlive every government experiment.
And it’s your shot to get in before the next 10x — or 20x — is written into history.
