goldbugs
Precious metal advocates
Goldbugs are people who advocate for gold as a monetary standard or who invest heavily in gold, typically out of distrust for fiat currency and central banking.
The term often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting obsessive or paranoid attachment to gold: The goldbugs have been predicting hyperinflation for decades.
A goldbug may also be a small beetle with metallic golden coloring.
