If You Own GOLD or SILVER, You Have JUST WEEKS to Prepare for What's Coming! - Clive Thompson

Clive Thompson, a retired Swiss wealth manager and banker, begins with a simple observation: for more than half a century, government debt and gold have moved in tandem. By extending the historical trend line of U.S. debt growth—a line as a steady upward slope—he argues that if debt merely continues rising at its existing pace, gold is likely to shadow it. Under that assumption, the implied gold price would approach $5,900 by 2027, rise toward $7,800 by 2030, reach nearly $19,000 by 2040, and potentially exceed $50,000 by 2050. He emphasizes that these are not predictions, but logical extrapolations from an enduring relationship between monetary expansion and the price of the world’s most trusted asset.
Thompson reinforces this viewpoint by looking backward. Since 1971, when the United States left the gold standard, the metal has compounded at roughly 9.2% annually—turning a $35 ounce into a price near $4,200 in 2025. Over the same period, equity markets performed only slightly better when dividends are considered, and materially worse without them. Equities also required constant maintenance as companies collapsed, merged, or fell out of indices. Gold, by contrast, demanded nothing from its holder.
U.S. government liabilities have risen from $389 billion in 1971 to roughly $37 trillion today—a near hundredfold expansion. That growth has outpaced the economy, pushing the debt-to-GDP ratio from 25% to around 100%. Thompson notes that this burden is becoming harder to sustain as interest costs absorb an ever-greater share of federal revenues. History shows that when a nation’s debt grows faster than its economy, instability follows.
