On October 20th, the world celebrates gold, a precious metal that has withstood empires, crises, and revolutions. In a financial universe where currencies lose value and economies reinvent themselves, this ancient, coveted asset has proven to be a reliable long-term investment. Just in the short five years from October 2020 to October 2025, the price of gold has increased by 160%, and so far, in 2025 it has appreciated over 60%.
For World Gold Day, we explore seven reasons why this shiny asset is a symbol of trust and permanence.
1. Stability in its Purest Form
In a global economy riddled by crises and volatility, gold remains firm as a pillar of economic stability. Unlike fiat currencies, whose unlimited issuance tends to erode their value, gold remains a stable store of purchasing power. It does not depend on central banks or monetary policies, and is therefore considered a safe haven in times of uncertainty.
2. Intrinsic and Permanent Value
Gold does not need backing to underpin its value. The intrinsic value of gold lies in its scarcity, beauty, and universal demand. It is an asset that does not degrade over time or lose relevance. Its permanence makes it a silent witness of history: from ancient civilizations to modern finance, gold has preserved its place as the real measure of wealth.
3. Simplicity as a Strength
In an increasingly complex and technological investing environment, gold represents powerful simplicity. Without complicated contracts or leverage, it is a tangible asset that can be owned, stored, and transferred. It is a form of wealth that transcends crises, trends and economic systems.
4. Shield Against Manipulations
Unlike other financial assets exposed to speculative bubbles or erratic policies, gold is immune to political manipulation. Its price cannot be controlled by a single government, or subject to corporate decisions making gold a reliable shield against economic collapse, and an ideal wealth-protection vehicle.
5. Vision of Financial Freedom
Investing in gold is a declaration of independence. Those who choose gold as an investment asset understand that time is an ally and that true wealth is built gradually, not with promises of immediate profitability. This investment philosophy is based on patience, autonomy and long-term vision.
6. Security in an Uncertain World
We live in times where the unexpected is the norm. In this context, gold acts as a silent guarantee of security. It resists pandemics, wars and recessions. The historic prestige of gold makes it a natural hedge against the unforeseen, being one of the best ways to secure wealth throughout generations.
7. Timeless Legacy
Gold doesn't follow trends. Its constant appreciation, universal acceptance, and millenary history makes it an asset that will remain relevant in the future. Gold is, in short, a legacy that guarantees the preservation of value and purchasing power.
Celebrating World Gold Day is recognizing the silent but essential role that this precious metal plays —and will continue to play— in our economic history: To protect, preserve, and provide certainty in a world where all else is uncertain.
