<How about the gram that was bought some 20 years ago? Its purchasing power has been cut by about two thirds? You are talking 1980 and gold $850. Of course, gold was in a bubble, like the Nasdaq is now, and to a lesser degree the US dollar. This was a very unique event. Like the dotcom bubble. You should use an average price. On average, a gram of gold has maintained a constant purchasing power over centuries. Can you sat the same for the various pieces of paper that have been issued by the governments of this world.
