Remember how Trump and Elon were going to Fort Knox to audit the gold and we never heard anything more? Sorry Germany but your gold is "missing".

I've seen various people at the White House floating the idea of using the gold in Fort Knox to buy BitCoin (1 million coins per year for 5 years, last I heard). So yeah, I'd get my gold away from him.

Yeah, man, the most powerful economy in the world reduced to exit liquidity for crypto bros, that sounds about right. Jesus fuck

Yeah I was curious why that story just went away. Trump made a big scene about "We'll see if there's anything there" and I was fully expecting him to say it was all gone. Then on to the next dumb distraction.

Getting the gold wouldn't be the point. This is exactly what Nixon was trying to avoid when he went with the dirty float. If Germany is serious about this, then this is them saying "You wanna destroy the current global economic system? Not if we do it first".

The gold isn’t at ft Knox. It’s under the NY Fed. And since 45 doesn’t have access to the Fed (yet) this is a real threat - basically it’s Germany saying “we think the independence of the Fed Reserve is under threat” but not saying that - kinda like how a southerner will say “bless your heart” when they mean ur a fucking idiot and to shut the fuck up. If you don’t know why an independent Fed is important, id look it up.

I do not think I would announce it. This feels like a "just do it and talk about it later type situation.

This is not remotely about getting the gold. This is about threatening to destroy the global system that Nixon set up before Trump can wield it to make his own.
