gold is a giant circle jerk. the gold miners don't keep any gold, the gold dealers don't keep any gold, the people who own gold sell it for dollars. the people who buy large quantities use it to offset their dollar liabilities.

in the past, 1800-1950s, every printed word carried a cost to print and then produce in large quantities. the writings then were of high quality because every word counted.

i asked my gold dealer what happens with the gold he buys. he immediately sends it off to a large multi state buyer where it is melted and sent overseas. he only keeps very rare rolexes and coins.

i went back to my local gold dealer. there were a lot of people in the store. zero buyers. everyone was selling old jewelry and random coins.

when it comes to trade, china holds all the cards when it comes to financial rails, the US holds the cards. The problem is that you can only use the financial rails card once but the trade cards can be used over and over again.

hopefully in a year when "spam" on bitcoin is either more, less or the same, someone admits they were wrong and acknowledges that someone else was correct. then we can all learn the truth in practice through observation
