Overview: Garrett discusses the recent surge in gold prices, attributing it to factors such as China's shift from investing in US dollars to gold, the potential for the US to monetize its gold reserves, and the increasing interest in gold as a monetary asset.   Cali asks about the possibility of returning to a gold standard, to which Garrett responds that while it's unlikely, a standard of measure is necessary for currency systems. He also shares his observations on investor sentiment and the shares outstanding for gold ETFs, indicating that gold is not yet at a peak.   Garrett discusses the advantages of investing in royalties over mining companies. He highlights that royalties offer stable returns, as they are locked in contracts that do not change over the life of a mine, unlike mining companies whose costs escalate with the gold price. He also points out that royalties have lower overheads and offer free exploration upside.   Garrett talks about the undervaluation of gold exploration companies and the potential for a significant increase in their value when the market recognizes their worth. He also mentions the potential for institutional investors to return to the gold sector due to its performance.   He also notes the speculative nature of Bitcoin and the potential for its investors to return to gold-backed assets.   About Garrett Goggin   I’ve traveled the world in search of gold and silver.
