The general public. If it goes really nuts, we're going to get a flood of newbies coming here scooping up whatever metal they can get their hands on.
I did have a discussion with "dumb noobs" a few days ago. They wanted to know which currency is better to put their savings in.
My comments and ideas were ignored by the fiat lovers.
They did actually believe that currency rates can go all the way up to a certain limit only, but not higher (hilarious).
I tried explaining the Venezuela crisis, but they were too dumb to understand - although, the Venezuelan hyperinflation is in the mainstream news.
One guy mentioned gold (like someone who just heard about it, but didn't actually invest in it), but someone put him down with "Man, gold is expensive" and so on and so on. So, the discussion went on about fiat currencies - someone at some point went into explaining why the GBP is the best investment right now (I don't believe that personally).
People are uneducated. They don't understand and laugh you in the face if you try to explain hyperinflation, consumer price inflation, supply chain interruption etc.
These dumb masses will jump aboard gold and silver just like they're doing now with different fiat currencies. The second category are semi-educated people (like the ones who jumped aboard Bitcoin too late).
Gold is going up and I think 3,000 $ could be in next year. A possibility.
