Btw., central banks are buying and since gold has served as a sort of insurance against bad times, and the times are not particularly great now, maybe we should get more… bitcoins.
I wonder if the regime will "close the gold window" again. Will they convert claims to physical gold into gold ETFs to keep the gold in Fed member banks?
But the outlaw started in 2020. I assume the investors are moving from holding paper gold (ETF) to holding physical gold. This would also explain why price is still going up.
I wonder whether you or anyone can see any correlation between your chart and the chart with physical gold purchases

That's fascinating. There's no other divergence between ETF holdings and price. I wonder what that means.
@lynaldencontact’s take on twitter was that foreign buying was responsible for the divergence
view on twitter.comThe question remains, why have we never seen this before? Maybe because gold ETF's are only 20 years old, but maybe there's a more interesting answer.
my guess would be that this is the first time in the last 20 years foreign powers are recognizing the inflation issues with holding the US dollar.
rather than buy the ETF, they may be buying real gold.

Interesting times
I’m sure the gold plated tungsten will stay where it is.
Well, yeah, you have to keep up appearances somehow.
I wonder if this means that gold ETFs are a good short-term, tactical buy
the gold ETFs still track the price of gold, it’s not like buyers of gold ETFs are getting a discount
Another way to look at this is that ETF holders might be taking profits and moving into other assets.

This rings a bell, but can you remind me what the rule change was.
People have waited 20 years for this moment
I wonder how much of that outflow has gone and converted to Bitcoin ETF inflow, I guess most of it. since Bitcoin ETF is breaking records.
