## Resource

In this conversation, Hiren Chandaria breaks down how gold functions differently across regions like India, China, and Turkey, why gold has remained deeply embedded in these economies, and how gold is evolving from a “non-productive asset” into something that can generate yield. We cover why currency debasement keeps gold demand one-way, how cultural behavior around gold shapes markets, and why earning a return in ounces changes the entire gold investment thesis. This episode is about understanding gold beyond headlines — and why much of the world already treats it as money. Earn a yield on gold, paid in gold: https://buff.ly/vv8zj3N
