Are gold and diamonds based on the same logic?

Think about it, gold is mined every year, and the amount mined only keeps increasing. Supply is growing, yet prices are still rising. There's something interesting here.

Recently, gold has also been quite active, not only rising but also making sure everyone knows about it—media hype every day, trending searches in rotation. This kind of "public awareness" style of increase always feels like paving the way for latecomers.

Is more and more capital needing to find an exit, and then the market helps create hype? Or am I overcomplicating things, viewing the problem too narrowly? I'm a bit confused.

Supply increases and prices still rise, I've seen this kind of trick many times in the crypto world, just repainting and playing the same game. The media's repeated hype really is top-notch, a true system for creating bagholders. It's not that you want to make it complicated, it's just that the funds can't find a place to go. Gold and diamonds are the same, both are illusions of scarcity combined with marketing magic. I feel like this wave of popularity is just paving the way for big players. If this logic continues, anything can be turned into a luxury item, and the key is just human nature. The more supply, the higher the price? Sorry, that's the opposite of what you learn in economics textbooks.

tbh the supply paradox here screams artificial scarcity narrative... classic value extraction playbook. capital needs exit vectors, media manufactures consensus, boom—retail catches the falling knife. seen this dance before with every commodity pump cycle

The more supply, the higher the price—that logic is backwards. It feels like it's all about funds playing tricks. Media keeps hyping it up, trending searches appear on time, as if to make sure retail investors don't miss out... Hmm, it's pretty obvious. Gold and diamonds follow the same pattern: artificial scarcity is created, hype is built up, and the bagholders are ready. Wait, that's not right. If supply increases, prices should drop? Have I misunderstood? Funds can't find an exit, so they pour into these "value-preserving assets," with media cooperation to promote it.

Supply increases and prices still rise, I've heard this set of rhetoric before in Diamond, it's the exact same routine. No one can clearly say whether the market demand is truly strong or if it's being driven by the media. This round of gold fever is so intense that I am a bit cautious. The bagholders are always being sought after, you can see that. The ways for funds to find an exit are nothing more than these, gold, silver, jewelry taking turns.
