Investors and the rich are always looking for places to park their wealth, they try to beat inflation which slowly erodes that wealth. They look for investments which offer a greater return than cash, basically.

Government bonds don't have the same appeal as stocks do, for various reasons, mostly because they are not as fungible (not as easy to trade) and they don't have the profit margin that stocks can have when they boom.

The problem with precious metals (gold, etc.) is that there's really not enough to go around to account for the huge increase in other forms of wealth.

What we need to do is move away from the fiat USD king (bonds), away from Wall Street (stocks) and back towards MULTIPLE forms of real-world precious-metal like lithium, uranium, etc. (rare earths) and also things like pure fresh water.

Drinking water is a good example. It's going to become more precious and by backing a currency with resources like fresh water we can set an example.
