And not an average nation
All part of the plan.
But, who possesses the gold if the transaction goes through?
The btc holders or the exchange or a bank or russia?
How does that transaction happen?
(PS: trump will finally know there is no gold in fort Knox when he steals it all)
It goes to whoever can provide Bitcoin. So, likely an exchange. Which ultimately gives the money to people selling Bitcoin. Many of whom are in North Korea and Russia.
Crypto investment is very risky. Too volatile. Too virtual. No protection against theft/fraud. Also a govt should really invest in companies in its own jurisdiction.
or russia
More seriously though, I am honestly not sure where the gold would end up at.
Probably the oligarchs who have a lot of crypto but want to exchange it for more tangible gold. Oh and people hoarding gold is a sign of a potential incoming economic collapse so.. not very good for America.
whom

Thank you.
I'd suspect it's gonna be people close to T*ump
Gold has been going up for years, the wealthy everywhere are buying up gold because there's barely anything else left to buy.
Kleptocracy.
I thought they were going to go and check Fort Knox and make sure all the gold was still there because they heard Biden stole it? 🤡
They wanted to check how much gold was in there to steal.
The last audit of fort knox was in the 70s. The US dollar is not backed by gold anymore. So I doubt the gold is still there.
"paging mike judge.. paging mike judge.."
That's some kind of reverse alchemy right there!
