minus-squareBgugi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·3 days agoOP’s post has a sell date in 2023, your graph includes gold’s meteoric 2-year doubling after that, in 2023-2025. The price of gold (like so many assets) is so far removed from any realistic measure of value as to be meaningless.
