Gold has climbed 9.4% since July 30.

For the oldest and deepest commodity market in existence, that is no small thing — $4,100 to $4,484 an ounce in under a fortnight.

NatGold (Token: NATG) has gained 12.6% across the same window.

And Bitcoin — the asset marketed to you for ten years running as digital gold — has slipped 0.8%.

Let that settle for a moment, because it is the entire case.

NATG moved in gold's direction, and then moved past it — because a NatGold token takes its price from certified in-ground gold, less the cost of pulling it out, and that gap widens more quickly than the metal itself does. Gold rose. NATG rose further.

Bitcoin, over those same two weeks, stayed put. It was never actually linked to gold. It was only ever likened to it.

This is how an asset backed by certified gold resources behaves when gold runs.

106,800 NATG are in existence so far — the full supply minted to date, tokenized from certified gold at Idaho's Friday Gold Mine and California's Cahuilla Gold Project. That is the entire pool. And it just recently started trading!
