I gave you golden power !

what up gang.

ya boy is feelin' a bit weird today, maybe it’s the coffee or maybe I just stared at the charts too long. But I got to thinking about the stuff we stack. We talk about gold like it’s just a ticker symbol or a hedge against the printer going brrr, but imagine being the metal itself. Like that Nas track, but instead of a gun, it’s a shiny yellow rock that everyone loses their minds over.

So, picture this.

I ain't from around here originally. I was cooked up in a supernova violent enough to shred a galaxy, then I crashed here and got buried. I spent eons just chillin' in the dark, deep underground. It was quiet. Heavy. Solid. No inflation no drama just rock and pressure. Honestly? Best sleep of my life.

Then you guys showed up.

First time I saw the sun, it was blinding. Some dusty dude with a pickaxe cracked the vein open and I saw his eyes. That look. I’ve seen it a billion times since, eh. It’s hunger. It’s greed. You look at me and you don't see an element, you see power. You see a way out of the rat race or a way to crush your enemies.

I’ve been everything. I was stamped with the face of some Roman emperor who thought he was a god—spoiler alert, he wasn't. I was a chalice in a temple, then I got melted down and turned into a pirate’s earring. I’ve traveled on wooden ships that smelled like death, sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and sat there with the fish for three centuries until some salvage crew dragged me up.

You melt me, beat me with hammers, stretch me into wires. I’ve been a wedding ring on a hand that threw a punch, and I’ve been the teeth in a rapper’s mouth spittin' lies. Lately, you guys are putting me inside your tech. Tiny bits of me in your phones, helping you doomscroll or watch cat videos. Kinda humiliating for a cosmic element, if I’m being honest.

I watch you guys fight over me. Whole civilizations burn just to stack more of me in a vault. It’s hilarious in a dark way. I don’t do anything. I just sit there. I don't rust, I don't tarnish. I’m the only real thing in a world of paper promises and digital ghosts. You value me cause you can't trust each other.

If I could say anything? Stop sweating the price action. You’re the temporary ones, not me. I’ll be here long after your fiat collapses and your servers rust out. I’ll probably get melted down again by whatever species comes next.

Just throw me in a safe and let me rest, dawg. I’ve had a long run.

I am a financial advisor ! If you can't take personal responsibility for you investing, I hate to brake it to ya, but you ain't nothing but a sucka, you supposed to lose your shit.
