Gold isn't perfect, the supply inflates at ~1.5% per year.
But throughout history, gold was the slowest inflating commodity known to humans.
Until April 20, 2024.
That's when Bitcoin took the crown of slowest inflating commodity. Eventually, Bitcoin will stop inflating altogether and remain a fixed supply. Something gold will never be able to do.
Alicia de Larrocha Bach / Busoni - Chaconne in D minor (recorded 1986)
This performance by de Larrocha was one of Dad's favorites. I heard him play this piece a couple of times at home back in the day.
