Gold was the first metal widely known to our species. When thinking about the historical progress of technology, we consider the development of iron and copper working as the greatest contributions to our species’ economic and cultural progress – but gold came first.
Gold has always been powerful. The earliest history of human interaction with gold is long lost to us, but its association with the gods, with immortality, and with wealth itself are common to many cultures throughout the world.
Here are 6 reasons why to own gold in 21st Century.

  1. A History of Holding Its Value
    Gold is volatile, but the worth of gold is never going to be Zero. Unlike paper currency, coins or other assets, gold has maintained its value throughout the ages. People see gold as an asset to keep in family and pass on their wealth from one generation to another.

US dollar is one of the world’s most important reserve currencies, but when the dollar weakens compared to other currencies, people tend to invest more in gold and that raises gold prices –a  perfect example is the time period between 1998-2008, when the price nearly tripled. Gold reached  the1000 dollar/oz milestone in early 2008 and nearly doubled between 2008 and 2012.

Why? New investors are coming into the Gold price rises as investors trust gold to be good investment.
