Gold is the only monetary asset on Earth that can:

vanish into a vault no one is allowed to audit

reappear on a balance sheet because someone said so

double-count through rehypothecation

shape-shift into jewelry, bars, coins, or dust

get melted, recast, relabeled, reassigned

go missing and no one can prove it

magically “increase” in reported holdings with zero transparency

serve as collateral even when it may not exist

It’s Houdini money.

Imagine running a global economy on something that can literally disappear without evidence and then reappear through paperwork.
