Core Viewpoint - Gold has historically been a reliable asset for preserving wealth and combating inflation, with recent trends indicating a significant increase in its value over the past year [1][6][7]. Group 1: Inflation and Currency Value - Excessive currency creation by central banks leads to a decline in currency value, which is a key driver of inflation. For instance, $100 in 2025 has the same purchasing power as $12.58 in 1971 [2]. - The U.S. dollar has been a fiat currency since 1971, which allows for unlimited money printing by the Federal Reserve, raising concerns about the system's sustainability and potential future consequences [4]. Group 2: Gold as an Investment - Gold is viewed as a safe haven asset that cannot be printed at will, making it attractive during economic turmoil. Its price has increased by over 70% in the past 12 months, with projections from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon suggesting it could reach $10,000 per ounce [6][7]. - Gold IRAs offer a way for investors to hold physical gold or gold-related assets within a retirement account, combining tax advantages with the protective benefits of gold investment [9]. Group 3: Real Estate as an Alternative Investment - Real estate has also proven to be a strong hedge against inflation, with the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index rising by 41% over the past five years [11]. - Platforms like Mogul provide fractional ownership in rental properties, allowing investors to benefit from rental income and appreciation without the burdens of direct property management [13]. Group 4: Alternative Assets - Investors are increasingly looking at alternative assets, such as art, which has shown to appreciate over time and has a low correlation with traditional markets. A notable example includes a collection of art sold for $1.5 billion, highlighting the potential value in this asset class [19]. - Masterworks offers a platform for investing in shares of blue-chip artwork, making high-end art investments more accessible to a broader range of investors [20].

Just like we set up bridges between cryptocurrency and fiat currency, we'll need to set up bridges between cryptoidentity and fiat identity.Core to that is understanding the existing cryptography embedded in fiat passports:https://t.co/PmpdiftrcfTrail of Bits (@trailofbits):Modern passports use embedded chips to prevent forgery and unauthorized access.
