^^^ The amount of money (cash) in existence today compared to even say 20 years ago is many times more. Result? Who knows but large scale inflation would be the most likely result.
Why people must use the 1980 gold price in their statistics to prove a point is always a concern.
Instead of using 1980 as a high point to show the growth of gold's price you can just as easily use it to show gold's price weakness.
Bread - > 1980 50 cents 1990 75 cents (50% increase)
Gold - > 1980 $800 /oz 1990 $400/oz (50% decrease)
Meaning that if you held gold during the 1980's you would have had not only a 50% loss on your investment but the spending power of what you had left would have been further cut in half.
