Is gold the only way to safely secure value for long periods of time despite what markets and currencies are doing? I want to prepare for a future where I don't have to play markets all the time if I don't want to.

Short answer: no.
The value of gold fluctuates constantly.

of course it does, that's not the point

So you want to "safely secure value" but you don't care if the value of what you're holding fluctuates in extreme ways on a daily basis... then what is the point you mongoloid

No, bonds are. Gold is continously mined out of the ground. There are also storage costs.

If I dig a hole it don't have storage costs.
Also, I thought bonds were bad investment instruments. And they are still based on currency. That isn't very safe.
Maybe but silver and other metals too?
Gold is probably a good hold right now with WW3 on the brink.

It won't be like WWII. And it won't be a Nuclear war either.
