I guess that is true.
I just never got the idea of printing money and buying gold.
Seems counter intuitive.
Who's buying gold?
China, russia, india, the us.
Is the US buying gold?
Those other countries are trying to protect themselves against US inflation. Most of their currency reserves had been US Treasuries.
US is always buying gold.
Just not massive amounts like India and China.
We don't know if they're holding onto it, though. Every attempt to audit Ft. Knox over the past 80 years has been denied.
As far as I'm concerned, all we know is that they claim to have gold.
The gold is still there.
It hasnt disappeared.
If it's there, why don't they allow Congress to audit it?
I didn't see your reply! I just said the same thing, but my years were off.
I don't vouch for the time period in my statement.
right, I finally saw it.
Some citizens, but not the government. They haven't even audited Ft Knox in like 50 years.
The government isnt buying any gold?
Not true for India.
India buys Gold for two reasons. One because our woman love it too much. We have exceptional demand for gold. Second, which is important, India still follows Gold Standard partially.
I think he meant governments are buying gold, plenty of American citizens buy gold, too.
Does India have a gold reserve requirement?
Those other countries are trying to protect themselves against US inflation. Most of their currency reserves had been US Treasuries.
This was a reply to your comment.
Does India not hold lots of US Treasuries? Or, are you just saying that holding gold is unrelated to that?
I remember Zimbabwe stories where prices get changed on the blackboard while you're shopping in the store.
It's complete madness.
People think Bitcoin is volatile.
Just imagine when it is stable and fiat is the one that is volatile.
Zimbabwe had fiat. It was volatile.
It's been a long recognized friction in price inflation. Usually referencing restaurant menus, rather than store tags, but it's the same idea.
The inflation scam is that they get new money to their cronies before prices have time to adjust.
Faster adjusting prices directly undermine that scam.
