Could there ever be a gold bubble? and what would happen if it burst?

[georgequayle]

Gold is probably one of the most secure assets to have.

My question is do you think there could ever a bubble for gold?
I would say at first, no obviously not, it’s gold!

but then again look at what happened to the housing market?

next point would be if there were a bubble and it burst. what would the repercussions be for society?

Hyper-inflation in a particular country can make the gold price look like a bubble.
This is how the price of gold looked in Germany between 1918 and 1924.
At that time, gold (on the world market) was not in a bubble.
Rather, the German mark was being devalued by hyper-inflation.
