Nah, at that point you have the same problem that Bitcoin does. Well, one of the many problems that Bitcoin has. Okay it has another one of the many problems that Bitcoin has.
In any event, you can't realize that kind of gain without crashing the asset price and rendering it all worthless. I would like to repeat the proposed solution from Auric G. Et Al to instead detonate a dirty bomb inside of Fort Knox, possibly with an English misogynist handcuffed to it, which will allow us to instead reduce the global supply and earn significantly higher returns in appreciation of our existing holdings.
i think you underestimate the world gold market. If they were only selling the gold domestically i would agree but there really aren't very many americans and the rest of the world likes gold for many reasons.
Additionally these assholes dont need anywhere near 100% of the value they are selling stolen assets 75% is done, 50% is fine, it's all profit for them
It seems you have some familiarity with the gold trade. Tell me, have you seen those new laser cutters up close?
Here, enjoy an up close and personal viewing of them while I leave the room unguarded.
The most stable currency in human history liquidated to buy the least stable, and it won’t even crack the top 10 dumbest ideas this week.
when did we get goldbugs here
bitcoin is more stupid, but goldbugging is not not stupid

not a currency, and only stable in the form of 197 Au
Do it, I dare them
It will speed up and severely deepen the collapse of the US dollar.
Between the tarrifs, the massive structural debt, and now grifting the public on crypto: the depression will be like nothing before.
Aw yeah time for the Great Libertarian Schism
We're seeing it in action right now, tonight in this very thread:
check isotope 197 Au on wikipedia
look inside
stable nucleotide
I guess maybe what if Fort Knox was glassed?
both 198Au and 199Au have half-life in order of 3d, waiting 1y will decrease radioactivity to nothing (5E40 times for 198Au and 1.3E35 times for 199Au. others are shorter-lived and fission products can be probably separated chemically to an acceptable degree). it's also pretty decent deterrent against stealing it, and decay product mercury is stable and easily separated. i'm not even sure if irradiating gold with neutrons would make it worthless because of that. might even go up in value because there's now a story behind it. bigger problem would be that it's scattered everywhere
Me dropping a radioactive gold bar on my foot: "Au!"
yeah, you better do
Godspeed, David.
Bitcoin is the new Brooklyn Bridge.
One week later, the entire oval Office will mysteriously be gold-plated
Trump’s new golden chair that is totally not a throne or anything, also his funny new golden hat that is absolutely not a crown!
Killed by a golden bullet, I hope.
I don't know that it holds enough of an edge for a golden guillotine, but it's dense and heavy enough that we could probably create a workable alternative if we give up on clean cuts.
Aren't they selling gold certificates?
Fort Knox NFTs?
I heard Tesla stock is a great buy!
Imagine Bitcoin going to the Gold Standard.
I guess now is the best time to do one of those Ocean's Eleven heist and rob Fort Knox. Soon it's not going to be worth it anymore.
It’s all to do with billionaires being able to hide their money so they can avoid taxes, escape the authorities, hide their fraud and embezzlement. It’s about taking the power away from other nations.
Meanwhile, all their bitcoin hidden billionaire money stockpile price goes up up up.
Sell gold for bitcoin, generate more interest in bitcoin, pull rug, buy gold.
North Korea supports the idea
Gold is real and generally increases in value. Bitcoin is nonsense with perceived value that makes it valuable until it is not. Quantum computing will break a lot of things. Including Bitcoin.
yay goldbugs
Beanie Babies are real and generally increase in value.
