What is Gold Standard?

Gold Standard is a financial analysis platform that measures assets, currencies, and economies in gold terms rather than fiat currency. This provides a more accurate picture of real value by removing the distortions caused by monetary inflation and currency debasement.

Why measure assets in gold instead of dollars?

Fiat currencies like the US dollar are subject to inflation and debasement as central banks can print unlimited amounts. Gold's supply is naturally constrained (growing only ~1.5% annually through mining), making it a more stable unit of measurement for tracking true value changes over time.

How does Gold Standard compare assets?

We convert asset prices into their gold equivalent weight, allowing you to track how many ounces of gold an asset is worth over time. This reveals whether an asset is truly gaining value or just keeping pace with monetary inflation.

What assets can I compare on Gold Standard?

You can compare a wide range of assets including stocks (like Tesla, Apple, Microsoft), cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum), commodities (silver, oil, copper), real estate indices, and global market indices—all measured in gold terms.

How often is the data updated?

Asset prices are updated daily at market close using data from reliable sources including Yahoo Finance, CoinGecko, and Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED). Gold prices are updated in real-time during market hours.

Is Gold Standard free to use?

Yes! Gold Standard is completely free to use. We believe everyone should have access to accurate financial analysis tools that show real value beyond fiat currency distortions.

What time period does your historical data cover?

Our historical data varies by asset, but generally covers the past 5-50 years depending on the asset. Major stocks and commodities have decades of data, while newer assets like cryptocurrencies have data since their inception.

Can I use Gold Standard data for investment decisions?

While Gold Standard provides valuable insights into real value changes, it should be one of many tools in your investment research. We recommend using our analysis alongside other fundamental and technical analysis methods. This is not investment advice.

The Gold Standard

What's performing well in fiat money (Dollars, Euros, etc.) might be losing value in gold. Track how assets, currencies, and economies perform against the one form of money that is for thousands of years.
