So wait.....

If an audit does take place and there is no or much less Gold found in Fort Knox does that collapse the price of gold due to the lies and loss of trust?

Or does it ramp the price of gold as it would be a far scarcer asset than originally accounted for?

Food for thought

I believe it will collapse the bond market and shoot gold up.

I think it will collapse the dollar value and not the gold price

Might go up, might go down

I think it sky rockets gold as this is a massive supply shock and everyone and their uncle who’s got “paper” gold is going to want the real thing.

the paper gold price collapses.

Physical gold goes through the roof

I don't think that would happen for lon though. This self custody lesson is a hard one for people to remember. Greed will drive them back to paper very quickly and reduce the premium for physical gold

no I think that this revelation could break the custody model for a generation.

It might even lead people to question how many other assets are being rehypothicated.

people that hold the paper are being driven by convenience, not greed.

I agree, if by revolution you mean Bitcoin and not gold. Gold is imo almost impossible to verify in massive quantities like Ft. Knox.

Doesn’t matter. Gold being centralised like that is akin to a shitcoin where the public can never audit or verify.

0% chance that we are short any substantial amount of gold. Who benefits from that? They won't let that happen.

gold certificates are a short gold contract for the issuer

They have been flying in record amts of gold, man in industry says he think they'll "have it"

I’m willing to find out!

Good question. Not everything that glitters is gold.

Many new people will be asking themselves, “What is money?”

“Wait, my dollar isn’t backed by gold, you say?!?”

Doesn’t Peter Schiff monitor trucks going in & out? If not, what’s he good for?

I wonder if there’s an underground train connected to a secret cave system? Think of the possibilities!

DOGE needs to stop pre-announcing. I once worked at a fancy architectural woodworking mill, and every so often we’d be told that OSHA was “inspecting tomorrow” and we world frantically run around and reattach all of the semi functional ‘safety equipment’ until they were gone.

I think Ft Knox inspection could be like that.

Why not both? 😂

If anything, it would bring down the value of the dollar again which the gold in Fort Knox should be weighted. But that relationship has been gone for many decades…
