Gold is being suppressed of course. Crypto cannot be, so far at least, but they have talked about an ETF for BTC.

I don't care what the price of gold is though. All I care is what it buys. It will always buy a lot. That's the primary reason I have it. The price in US Dollars doesn't matter.

Honestly, I do not buy crypto for its price in US Dollars either. I am buying and holding, and I want my crypto to have solid purchasing power regardless of the US Dollar price.
