goldbug
Precious metal enthusiast
A goldbug is someone who advocates for the gold standard or invests heavily in gold, typically believing that gold-backed currency is more stable than fiat money.
The term often carries skeptical connotations, suggesting obsessive attachment to gold as a hedge against economic collapse: Every goldbug I know predicted hyperinflation that never came.
Goldbugs tend toward libertarian economics and distrust of central banks.
