This is an important question for one of the future unfoldings that i see coming.
The setup:
There is found to be 10x-100x the amount of dollars in existent. Secret money printing computers (some found by D.O.G.E.) are found to have printed many times more money that we thought existed. And the financial world doesn't know how to handle that information. Things really start to collapse.
The gold in Ft. Knox is found to not be what it is supposed to be (tungsten bars) and not in the quantity it is supposed to be. This has a really bad impact on the belief in the financial system.
Gold, that was making a tear upward in price; the gold bugs balk at something. Maybe it is that Trump goes to find the Ft. Knox gold in the Rots-childs mansion vault, and finds WAY MORE GOLD that was thought existed. (or the Grand Canyon Gold, or…) And the price of gold crashes. (or the faith in gold crumbles)
Trump introduces a new dollar, backed by a basket of commodities, including gold. This may, or may not be done with a call for all gold to be sold to the govern-cement.
Anyway, gold will only get to about $10k (probably), while bitcoin goes to $1M and higher, making gold lose more of its luster.
Gold is not rare
Imagine being a gold bug and then finding out that the amount of gold out there is 10x, if not 100x what your were told was "all of the gold in the world". Gold has been mined and horded for centuries. And the best way to keep your gold safe is that no one knows about it. There are piles of it that we don't even know about. And that is after the piles of it that we have rumors about.
The problem with gold is that it really isn't worth much for industrial uses. Just jewellery and gold plating of electrical contacts. Gold is just THE metal that the banksters decided would be the monetary metal. (yes, their influence goes that for back)
So, we really have a house of cards, built on people believing the story that "Gold has been money for 5000 years". And that is based on the lie that gold is the perfect money. Rare, recognizable, divisible,… What if many of those pillars supporting gold as money get kicked out?
Gold is ~~Gods~~ the devil's money
There are many people who have tied God's creation of gold, with the story of gold being perfect money.
"For the love of money is the root of all evil"
What if, in that phrase, "money" really means "gold"?
Well, we are going to find out that the Forbes top 100 richest people, aren't. We find out that Musky doesn't even make the list when we start looking at the Rots-child families around the world. When we start counting the piles of gold, we find out that we had everything wrong. And, we find out that these people, these gold hoarders are the most evil people in the world.
(Billy Gatez is being shown to be truly evil. But, all this time he was just a face man)
What if there was a private army, that was paid in gold. And they used that gold to buy food and other things. And where those who imposed their will on the masses. Literally, he who controls the gold, controls the world.
Well, as long as we accept gold as payment. They quickly fall apart if no one sells food for gold.
So, we could quickly find ourselves in a world where gold is the devil's money, and we do not deal with those mercenaries or their gold.
Gold is just heavy and cumbersome bitcoin
Bitcoin is often compared to gold. Gold, being the "gold standard" of money.
And most of those comparisons poo-poo bitcoin because it is too easily lost. It is not physical.
However, we will find that gold has none of the most important aspects of money. As in gold is far inferior.
Bitcoin can be transferred to anywhere in the world at any time. Try to do that with gold. Gold's flow is one of the most restricted things on the planet. Moving it internationally is not easy, and can only be done by normies, a few ounces at a time. Yes, you can contract a vault in another country, and tell the vault to move some of your holdings to another person, but the gold really doesn't move.
But, then gold is can be used for local barter, they say. But really, local script is much, much better for local purchases and economy. In the great depression, several cities did just that, and flourished. Other cities, who didn't, were left stranded, with like having one five dollar bill in the entire city. (the banks outlawed local script to prevent this success from happening again.) Now with bitcoin lightning networks, one could set up a local scripts that is even better. (or create another crypto, linked on other chains, like creating a private stable coin)
And there will be more things discovered that are essential for a money. And gold doesn't have them. Gold will be reduced to an ancient relic of money.
In the end, gold is reduced to a pretty yellow metal, without much use. (It can make the best hypo-allergenic, non-stick pans)
But, speaking of the near time-line, we will see gold go from being expensive, to very expensive, to a financial hot-potato.
For right now, a little bit of gold is a great escape plan. "Have enough gold to bribe the border guard, and enough gold to start a new life somewhere else."
This really only requires a few ounces of gold. And so, having them may be the thing that saves your life. (this is something that silver can't do, even though i love silver. You can't carry that many pounds of silver)
But, if you have a large stash of gold, you really need to pay attention to what is happening around the world, its value will go to zero, but there are many stages between now and then. And a lot of surprise things / announcements that will affect the entire financial industry.
And, in the end, we are going to be hunting down rots-childs, digging them out of their bunkers and hanging them on lampposts. Tons and tons of gold just laying around.
