Gold's price is slowly decreasing so I don't know what those people are talking about. One thing going for gold however is that it's not volatile. Just don't expect to make a profit out of it.
some people don't know that gold price movements are slower than new cryptocurrency and gold price movements can benefit when you use very much trading capital, if your capital is small then it will be very difficult to be able to make a profit.
each investment has its own nature, even though gold has no large movements, but gold is the safest to use as an investment tool, because everyone must believe in gold
