The myth of gold as a safe haven is shattered? Howard Marks, head of Oak Tree Capital, sparks Wall Street with his "bold declaration"

As an investment expert managing hundreds of billions of dollars, Howard Marks recently delivered a heavy point of view—the narrative of gold as a "safe harbor" is actually a collective self-deception. 💥

His argument hits the mark:
➠ Gold itself does not generate any cash flow, and its price is entirely driven by market sentiment
➠ The term "store of value" essentially means everyone just assumes it’s worth something
➠ When a real crisis erupts, gold prices still fall significantly; historical facts are there to prove it
➠ This is like the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes"—everyone pretends to see something that doesn't actually exist

In contrast, stocks and bonds can at least be evaluated based on their cash flows. What about gold? A fortress built on air, relying on the fragile consensus of "collective belief."

🚨 Interestingly, despite gold prices rising 7% by 2026, with central banks continuously buying, and geopolitical tensions remaining high… Marks’ warning is: a hype without real value backing will eventually cool down.

📊 When traditional safe-haven assets face a trust crisis, institutional funds are quietly shifting their allocations—The competition among the dollar, gold, and crypto assets enters a new phase. In the long run, who is the true anchor of value?

What do you think? How long can the faith in gold last?

Gold is just so-so; I should have seen it clearly long ago. Compared to this, I am more concerned about when cryptocurrencies can truly replace it.

Gold is just a faith game, Max is right... but central banks are still hoarding aggressively, isn't that the best counter-evidence? Might as well go all in on crypto, at least the code is transparent.

Max's words are quite straightforward, but the logic behind gold has significant flaws... What signal does the central bank's real gold purchase send? Through research and analysis, this seems more like a hedge against fiat currency devaluation, not some "collective self-deception." On the other hand, when it comes to crypto assets, there are plenty of projects with flawed tokenomics design. Why should they be considered more trustworthy than gold?

I'm tired of this gold narrative; Bitcoin is the true store of value.

Gold is all talk, but why are central banks still buying like crazy? This logic is a bit confusing.

Gold is the ultimate Ponzi scheme, and Max finally said it. This guy is also copying what we've known for a long time. Are the central banks still hoarding? Then it's the institutions running away. Crypto is the real store of value, don't talk to me about gold. Wait, what about the central banks' gold reserves... are they all about to lose value? So now even gold is heading towards decentralization.
