Interesting comparison coming up. A European content creator conducted an experiment—taking €100,000 to see how much gold could be bought in 2006 versus 2026.

What was the result? Over 20 years, the same amount of money has vastly different purchasing power for gold. This is not just a story of gold price increases; it reflects the reality of inflation eroding value and currency depreciation. For asset allocators, this comparison hits close to home—if you held cash in 2006 and did nothing, by 2026 your purchasing power would have already shrunk.

This is also why more and more people are valuing precious metals and crypto assets as stores of value. Whether it's gold or Bitcoin, the key is to find assets that can outpace inflation.
