Doesn't it raise people's suspicions if nobody not even the President is allowed to check that Fort Knox is full of gold ? I might remind some that most of the gold was nationalised by Roosevelt in 1934 and melted down at just over $20 an ounce. The last and incomplete audit was done in 1954. Isn't it time someone had a look ? The problem is who can ? There is meant to be another big stash of gold at the Fed building in New York. That is also off limits. Some of it is German gold from after WW2. When they applied to have it back the answer was NO and the reason ? Security. Sorta covers it if that isn't there either. Perhaps they can shift it back and forth. There are loads of crooks in high places. What if it has gone ? Anyone even doing a cursory audit had better weigh some random bars . But of course they won't be allowed to. Canada has owned up that all theirs is gone. Quite where it went is a mystery. Gordon Brown sold off 150+ tonnes from the Bank of England. The idiot gave plenty of notice and of course got an extra low price. How stupid can you get. Maybe the next President will show more courage and have a look or has it really flown off to Beijing or somewhere ? Perhaps this is not just another conspiracy theory. Why all the secrecy ? If they were to do an audit of various locations thought to hold vast quantities of gold then it must be on the same day. No shifting it around and counting it twice imho. It would stop the ugly rumours if proved to be where it should be.
who cares about that yellow metal good for nothing but rapper chains and rings...bitcoin is new standard
The new con more likely. Millions magicked out of thin air. No doubt it will all be forgotten for another few years. How convenient for some.
i think a bitcoin is harder to manufacture than gold? I could be wrong. We are heading toward a virtual society, what more fitting than a virtual standard underlying currency?
I do and you should because the world's economic system depends on it. Gold, silver etc. is more tangible than bitcoin ( some spotty youth is dreaming it up in his Mom's back bedroom ). You can touch it or the girls can wear it. We are all basically gold collectors except young Jimmie maybe. Can they manufacture it ? Not yet Jimmie.
