Not only that, but it has happened in the past. We are in an economic situation that is in many ways like the late 70s - fear of inflation, etc.

Gold hit, as I recall, into $800s in 1980 or so. Which was a bubble. The price collapsed after all the profit takers and speculators left, and it took decades to recover to that level again.

Adjusting for inflation, gold probably has never recovered to the 1980 price.
