$5,000 Gold is Closer Than You Think

When Napoleon was crowned Emperor in 1804, he insisted his crown be made not of silver or platinum, but of pure gold. 

His crown wasn’t gilded nor was it alloyed, because even then, surrounded by swords and sabers, he knew where real power resided.

Now imagine explaining to Bonaparte that in the year 2025. It's like trying to convince him that the Fed printing endless dollars backed by IOUs and crossed fingers was somehow a better store of value than the golden metal Bonaparte wore on his skull. He’d probably laugh himself into an early grave. 

Truth is, we’ve all been Napoleons waiting for our coronation, and the crown is being re‑molded right now… because gold is marching toward $5,000 per ounce

The thing is, it may come sooner than you think. 

The signs are everywhere, flashing like hazard lights on a Florida freeway in the middle of hurricane season. Inflation hasn’t disappeared — it’s just changed clothes and hoped no one would notice. Even the labor market is slowing. 

Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated his call for a half‑point rate cut this September — a signal so loud it might as well have been written in skywriting over Jackson Hole.

Powell’s job is to try not to look like he’s panicking when he inevitably cuts rates anyway, and even the dullest among the investment herd understand what’s going to happen once that floodgate opens. 

When the Fed cuts rates, real yields (what you get from your money after inflation) drop. When real yields drop, gold shines brighter. Why? Because although gold doesn’t pay you interest, it also doesn’t go bankrupt, expire, or lose its shine when your central bank has a nervous breakdown.

Now there are a lot of analysts out there expecting to not only see one, but two cuts by year-end. It’s like watching a Vegas bookie change the odds mid‑game — they’ve seen something.

And the bond market’s already doing the math; the yield curve is an origami crane of recessionary signals.

While Powell is publicly chewing his lip over “sticky” inflation, he’s being privately nudged by softening payrolls, high jobless claims, and a White House that wouldn’t mind a little economic juice.

That’s not monetary policy — that’s hostage negotiation.

Don’t take my word for it… just look at the price action. 

Gold has held firm above $3,300 for weeks even as headlines kept calling for a “pullback.” Pullback to where, exactly? Gold’s already up over 26% this year, and no one’s shouting “bubble.”

The reason? Well, there isn’t just one reason, there’s a busload of them.

My veteran readers can see the bullish catalysts lining up for gold. Just take a look at the central banks  hoarding gold like preppers stockpiling water before Y2K. Remember, according to the World Gold Council, sovereign banks added over 1,000 metric tonnes of gold in 2024, and 2025 is on track to beat that.

Look, this isn’t ornamental nor is it political. It’s straight monetary defiance, with China, Russia, and even friendly U.S. allies sending a clear message: “We’re losing trust in the dollar.”

Then there’s the geopolitical dumpster fire dipped in gasoline that nobody can look away from — the simmering U.S.–China tension, endless Ukraine–Russia stalemates, and the whispers of a Trump–Putin “peace deal” that has Europe sweating like a sinner in church.

Historically, every geopolitical escalation has gold buyers licking their lips. That’s because gold doesn’t take sides, it just waits for panic and then soars.

And now, gold is finally getting respect from the suits on Wall Street. 

John Paulson, who made a cool $4 billion betting against the housing market in 2008, is now calling for gold prices to top $5,000 within the next three years, with others saying that target could hit even sooner if the Fed’s cutting cycle turns into a tailspin.

VanEck already went on the record suggesting that $5,000 is in its crosshairs, citing not just rate cuts but long‑term structural drivers — like central banks buying gold instead of U.S. Treasuries, and global investors fleeing overvalued tech for hard money.

For them, we’re in the right environment for gold. 

Look, you don’t need a Nobel Prize in economics to connect the dots here, you just need a memory longer than a clip on TikTok. 

$5,000/oz gold isn’t a fantasy — it’s a function!

In 2001, gold was $250 an ounce. 

A decade later, it hit $1,900.

Then during the summer of COVID, gold topped $2,000.

Now in 2025, it’s holding near $3,300 — with all the tailwinds of a weakening dollar, collapsing confidence in fiat, and central bank overdrive.

The leap to $5,000 doesn’t seem like an irrational bubble, does it?

It’s just math, especially when you consider this kicker: There’s not enough physical gold to satisfy the demand that’s building.

And this, dear reader, is where things get fun. Because if you’re bullish on gold — and I mean generationally bullish — then simply stacking coins in your safe is like fighting a war in space with a musket. It’s nostalgic, cute, but certainly not efficient.

You know just as well as I do by now that owning physical gold has problems: high premiums, clunky delivery delays, storage risk, insurance, and verification. Worse, it doesn’t play nice with modern finance — try collateralizing a gold bar from your closet and see how far that gets you.

That’s why NatGold exists, and that’s why it’s gaining traction with the kinds of investors who’ve already made their money and now want to protect it from disappearing.

For the sake of the newer members of our investment community, let me recap a little bit. NatGold is a digital gold token — blockchain-secured, tamper‑proof, and anchored to actual in‑ground gold resources that have already been verified and audited, which marries the permanence of physical bullion with the flexibility of a digital asset.

Think about that for a moment. You don’t have to worry about delivery delays or counterfeit coins. You don’t need a vault or a revolver to protect it — just access.

And right now, you still have it. 

Wall Street doesn’t. Sovereign wealth funds don’t. Hedge funds aren’t in yet… but they will be. And when they come knocking, prices tend to fly; it’ll be what the market — and the crowd — demands.

Imagine what happens next:

• The Fed cuts rates in September, gold rallies past $3,500, and retail demand explodes as headlines start whispering “$5,000 gold.”
• Institutions — who mocked it for a decade — come crawling back, this time not for ETFs, but for access to secure, transparent, digital gold that can scale.

That’s NatGold.

And the folks who saw this coming? The ones who recognized the difference between legacy bullion and a digitally native gold standard? They’re not hoarding coins. They’re stacking wealth.

Because once this shift happens, it won’t rewind… just like how gold never went back to $250 after 2001.

We both know the crowd always arrives late. They came late to Bitcoin, late to Amazon, late to Tesla — they’ll come late to this, too! 

Napoleon didn’t wait until everyone believed in gold again. He crowned himself.

Some truths are timeless.

And this one’s written in metal.
