 Would be happy to, because this is a fundamental misunderstanding of volatility based on what your shared here. It’s purely a product of liquidity and perceived assurances from the market.

In other words, the longer it doesn’t die and becomes a certainty in the minds of the market, and the larger and more liquid the global market is (which will inevitably be far greater depth than gold purely due to its fundamental characteristics) this becomes a completely meaningless criticism and it will destroy gold in this category after saturation.

The only “volatility” that will remain will be explicitly a reflection on the market conditions, not the asset itself, which will mean those changes will be critical for market balancing.
