Stop setting expectations that bitcoin is going to rise when people find out the gold isn't in Fort Knox. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump admin makes sure it's filled before going in there to signal economic strength as the world is scrambling for physical gold. Banking on an empty vault for a bitcoin price pump is setting the market up for disappointment. The correct framing is: we shouldn't have to wonder whether or not the gold is in Fort Knox, we should be able to publicly audit the country's reserves 24/7/365 and bitcoin enables that. It is very hard to do that with gold, as the last five decades have proven.

excellent take, no need to agitate for price increase, if our thesis is correct, it is inevitable for bitcoin value to increase until adoption overtakes lesser currencies also... I'm a po boy, keep it cheap longer 🙏 lol

💯 The only thing I’m banking on for a Bitcoin pump is the passage of time.

Odds of Elon putting all spending on a blockchain (I don’t say btc on purpose here). I’m a maxi pls don’t yell at me, I just think it’s the correct question.
DCA in Bitcoin is Dollar-Cost Averaging, where you buy a fixed amount regularly to mitigate volatility. It can be hourly, daily, weekly,…

The only reason to audit FK is if they want to revalue the gold to current market value and use that to ‘fund’ the government without been laughed out by adversaries telling ’the gold is not there’. I don’t think the gold is there but we never known.
Yup… almost zero chance when the “official audit” happens some substantial amount of gold is missing. 1) It breaks trust in the institution 2) derivative markets break. Is it there now? Probably not..Will it be? Almost certainly.
Let them lean into Gold. More time for the citizens/plebs to stack a better money. I don’t get why some seem to be rooting so hard for the US to get its fiscal house in order. Aren’t we here to separate money from the state?

so every week when peoples pay checks hit and those auto buys hit the prive will bump?
The US getting its fiscal house in order does nothing to change the separation of money and state that bitcoin brings to the world, and it is the moral thing to do. While many people do not like the government (myself included), it would be foolish and immoral not to support the elimination of corruption and waste.
IMHO - If it’s a two horse race BTC vs USD; and if USD is strengthened (vs weakened) as *the world reserve currency* then the timing of the world adopting a neutral money will change accordingly. Won’t humans be collectively better off the sooner we get a neutral money?
