The real value of gold is probably around $700-800 but the prices went
nuts. It is just another bubble.

Not sure where you got that number from but it is definitely
unprofitable to mine it at that price. Assuming no large scale
selling by central banks, a certain amount of freshly mined gold is
necessary to replace that which is taken off the market by jewelery
and hoarding. At current prices you are more likely to see buying by
central banks than selling.
