Do it, I dare them

It will speed up and severely deepen the collapse of the US dollar.

Between the tarrifs, the massive structural debt, and now grifting the public on crypto: the depression will be like nothing before.
Aren't they selling gold certificates?
- Fort Knox NFTs?
Translation: They're going to steal all of the Fort Knox gold.
- Nah, at that point you have the same problem that Bitcoin does. Well, one of the many problems that Bitcoin has. Okay it has another one of the many problems that Bitcoin has.
  
  In any event, you can't realize that kind of gain without crashing the asset price and rendering it all worthless. I would like to repeat the proposed solution from Auric G. Et Al to instead detonate a dirty bomb inside of Fort Knox, possibly with an English misogynist handcuffed to it, which will allow us to instead reduce the global supply and earn significantly higher returns in appreciation of our existing holdings.
The most stable currency in human history liquidated to buy the least stable, and it won’t even crack the top 10 dumbest ideas this week.
- when did we get goldbugs here
  
  bitcoin is more stupid, but goldbugging is not not stupid
  
  🎶 Goldbugger / the man who will bugger gold / his prick is cold 🎶
  
  Do you realize that putting your wealth into commodities and securities instead of a deliberately inflated currency is just basic money management?
  
  And with "securities" not looking too hot right now, that leaves commodities.
  
  (Also it's huge warning sign of a recession in general)
- not a currency, and only stable in the form of 197 Au
One week later, the entire oval Office will mysteriously be gold-plated
- Trump’s new golden chair that is totally not a throne or anything, also his funny new golden hat that is absolutely not a crown!
  
  Killed by a golden bullet, I hope.
Aw yeah time for the Great Libertarian Schism
- We're seeing it in action right now, tonight in this very thread:
  
  check isotope 197 Au on wikipedia
  
  look inside
  
  stable nucleotide
  
  I guess maybe what if Fort Knox was glassed?
  
  Godspeed, David.
Bitcoin is the new Brooklyn Bridge.
Gold is real and generally increases in value. Bitcoin is nonsense with perceived value that makes it valuable until it is not. Quantum computing will break a lot of things. Including Bitcoin.
- yay goldbugs
  
  Beanie Babies are real and generally increase in value.
I guess now is the best time to do one of those Ocean's Eleven heist and rob Fort Knox. Soon it's not going to be worth it anymore.
- You're watching the Ocean's Eleven heist in real time.
  
  Yeah, I don't think we will ever get to know the full extent to how much Trump and his oligarch cronies will eventually end up having pilfered from federal funds.
- @Nikelui @dgerard I'm in.
Imagine Bitcoin going to the Gold Standard.
It’s all to do with billionaires being able to hide their money so they can avoid taxes, escape the authorities, hide their fraud and embezzlement. It’s about taking the power away from other nations.
North Korea supports the idea
Meanwhile, all their bitcoin hidden billionaire money stockpile price goes up up up.
- Sell gold for bitcoin, generate more interest in bitcoin, pull rug, buy gold.
