Jim Rickards: Stablecoins Dangerous for Bond Market, Sees $10,000 Gold

Jim Rickards believes gold could reach $10,000 faster than many analysts predict, calling it a simple calculation — a rise from $9,000 to $10,000 represents just an 11% increase, less significant than the earlier jump from $3,000 to $4,000. He further outlines how central bank purchases provide support for gold and argues that a robust dollar alongside a declining gold price does not signal what the debasement crowd expects.
