Gold Price Surge: Iran War Rumors and $6,000 Forecast

In July 2024, a message on an investment forum predicted a brutal war against Iran and a gold price of €6,000 per ounce. Nearly two years later, the ounce has surpassed €100 in the market, and the author celebrates this as a fulfilled prophecy. The reality is more nuanced: the same person who now boasts about being right had predicted in 2022 that gold would drop by 40% and that Russia would go to war with Japan. The discussion, which has accumulated 129 replies and spans 797 days, has become a duel between faith in precious metals and corrosive skepticism.

The Origin of the Forecast: War, Antiestéticar, and a €6,000 Ounce

The initial message was blunt: "World War III against Russia is starting, F16s have already arrived in Ukraine," it warned. From there, predictions escalated: an Iranian offensive against Israel, possible Turkish support for Iran, and US backing for Israel. The conclusion was a gold ounce at €6,000 "at minimum." The recommendation was clear: buy without waiting.

The reaction was immediate. Many participants interpreted the message as a contrarian signal, indicating that gold prices would fall. "You are a complete bipolar," one summarized. "Now I'm definitely selling," another added. The logic was that of a burned investor: if this man says it, do the opposite. Far from discouraged, the author insisted: "I can't say I didn't warn you about what was going to happen, damn it."

The Predictive Track Record: From War with Japan to Imminent Nuclear Attack

The credibility of the forecast rests on a curriculum of failures. In 2022, the same author claimed Russia would enter into war with Japan. In 2023, he announced an imminent nuclear attack. In 2024, NATO would enter the war before June. None of this peine. "I still perfectly remember your thread from 2022," a participant reproaches him, adding: "Assuming you're not just a simple troll and really believe everything you say, your behavior is worrying."

The author defends himself with a mix of victimhood and self-promotion: "You'd wish you had my clairvoyance and guessed the exact month a year in advance when the Pope is about to die." However, the papal prophecy clashes with recent news: Pope Francis appeared unexpectedly in St. Peter's Square during Palm Sunday. The contradiction is evident.

Gold Surpasses €100: Hit or Miss?

The data the author presents as proof is that the ounce has surpassed €100. "So in the end it will be over 100 but these people didn't listen to us... maybe we didn't warn them," he writes. It is true that gold has risen, but there is a chasm between that and €6,000. The discussion shifts toward silver: "At this point, it's better to buy silver than gold, and even better to buy bitcoin," one participant opines.

The author boasts of having more silver than half the forum: "If nothing else, in silver alone, I don't know how many kg I have, and I miccionan it literally." This claim, far from impressing, provokes mockery: "Measuring silver in kgs is for poor people. Silver bugs measure it in quintals." Another challenges him: "Make us a video or it doesn't exist." The response is a forward escape: "I took photos back then with several kg and said that when someone posted theirs, I'd add more... nobody did anything."

The Shadow of Manipulation: Troll or Visionary?

The most repeated theory is that the author is not crazy, but a troll seeking attention. "He's a scoundrel taking advantage of the lack of moderation, not a madman," one participant states. Another points to a possible hidden interest: "The fact that he has always dedicated himself to discrediting gold could indicate that he trades in silver and has some shop for that in Granada." The accusation is unproven.

The author himself feeds the confusion: "I am a troll with more gold and silver than half the forum together... well, half the forum by balls, much more than half the forum." He adds: "It's 90% real with some small changes I make so as not to leave 100% trace of who I am." The mix of bragging and mystery keeps the spectacle alive.

The Future That Never Arrives: War Against Iran

The author insists that the war against Iran is about to break out: "In less than 72 hours, a brutal war begins in Iran... war or unprecedented savage attack since Sadan." The date, like all previous ones, remains in limbo. "How is the brutal war against Iran going?" they ask sarcastically. The answer is silence.

Meanwhile, gold trinc its course. The ounce has surpassed €100, but €6,000 remains distant. The discussion, 797 days later, is still alive. Nobody knows if the author is a misunderstood genius or a simple buffoon. "He's a buffoon. He jumps and jingles here and there," one participant summarizes. The only certainty is that gold, that metal some buy out of antiestéticar and others sell out of boredom, remains the protagonist of a conversation that never dies.



Key Data of the Forecast

  • Gold Ounce: Target of €6,000, current price above €100.
