Gold has been a symbol of wealth and status for centuries. It is considered reliable, durable enough to be stored long-term, and scarce enough to be considered precious.

Gold has a proven history of preserving purchasing power over long periods. For example, in both 1980 and 2025, it took approximately 114–117 gold coins to purchase a median-priced home in the US, demonstrating that its purchasing power stays the same and your wealth is preserved against inflation over 20, 30, or even 40 years.
