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.

I heard Tesla stock is a great buy!

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.

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!

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Killed by a golden bullet, I hope.

I don't know that it holds enough of an edge for a golden guillotine, but it's dense and heavy enough that we could probably create a workable alternative if we give up on clean cuts.

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?

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

both 198Au and 199Au have half-life in order of 3d, waiting 1y will decrease radioactivity to nothing (5E40 times for 198Au and 1.3E35 times for 199Au. others are shorter-lived and fission products can be probably separated chemically to an acceptable degree). it's also pretty decent deterrent against stealing it, and decay product mercury is stable and easily separated. i'm not even sure if irradiating gold with neutrons would make it worthless because of that. might even go up in value because there's now a story behind it. bigger problem would be that it's scattered everywhere

Me dropping a radioactive gold bar on my foot: "Au!"

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago

yeah, you better do

Godspeed, David.

Bitcoin is the new Brooklyn Bridge.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're watching the Ocean's Eleven heist in real time.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] andrewth09@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Imagine Bitcoin going to the Gold Standard.

[–] philluminati@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] JHD@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aren't they selling gold certificates?

[–] greenhorn@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Fort Knox NFTs?

[–] skhayfa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

North Korea supports the idea

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, all their bitcoin hidden billionaire money stockpile price goes up up up.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Sell gold for bitcoin, generate more interest in bitcoin, pull rug, buy gold.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Beanie Babies are real and generally increase in value.
