I just meant the recent volatility made gold look speculative (more so than before at least), not trying to compare it to fiat or any other assets really, just wrap my head around the precious metals market itself. I know that historically there have been periods of time like this, where speculation/banker chicanery leads to crazy spot prices (like the Hunt Brothers silver scam in the 80s). My comments here are basically just generic curiosity on the subject
