Game theory in play. It's so obvious, yet no one is seeing it.

With a Bitcoin standard, this operation could have carried out for a fraction of the price. No police / military escort is required.

A 10-minute job with BTC (that's one confirmation). Now, of course, most of us would spend a little bit more on transaction fees with that amount of money. With the current hash rate, I would wait 3 hours and more confirmations. Still, you only would have paid $30 on the transaction fees.

Using Bitcoin, a lot of money would have been saved from transportation and military expenses. A lot of taxpayer money would have been saved! And I am not even mentioning the energy waste. Storing your wealth in anything other than Bitcoin is like going back to Stone Age.

I quote @VandelayBTC on Twitter:

"The Dutch Central Bank today revealed it spent months executing an operation to move $15 billion, including 200,000 kg of gold bars and coins, requiring police and military support. This would have been 10 minutes+$3.02 on the Bitcoin Standard.

The Dutch Central Bank, DNB, also built an entirely new high-security facility to store the gold in Zeist. 14,166 gold bars and 1,006 boxes of coins started being moved there in October 2020.

Total costs to taxpayers were not revealed. That's something that central bank shills like Alex "Digiconomist" de Vries don't like to see mentioned while spreading FUD about Bitcoin using "too much energy." - because they know this is maximum fiat inefficiency."
