This will prove to be the biggest scam in recorded history.

Maybe the US didn't have enough regulations. /s

It's old news.

This subject is lightly reported.

The lies, disinformation and FUD spread about bitcoin should've made bitcoiners aware that MSM only serves the propaganda.

All hail our plutocrat overlords.

Audit refusal and refusing to let Germany to repatriate their gold is a very strong signal that the FED has no gold in the vault.

Gold is fungible. The Federal reserve and German central bank can make a sweetheart deal for $30B in USD rather than the 670 tonnes of gold. With this money, Germany purchases gold from other sources (locally). Once complete, Germany announces a successful swap.

This way, the Federal reserve can continue to lease out over 100% of their reserves. It works every time until it doesn't.

The scary part here is that they are using Fractional Reserve Gold Banking.  Creating Gold out of thin air with a certificate which has nothing backing it.  They sell the certificate and TADA! free money...

When they need money, government have power to do whatever they want, either legal or illegal.
It's shame that ordinary people don't understand or don't care what their government do.

Nope.  Switzerland has been forwarding people's information to the IRS in the past two years and I suspect any gold in Switzerland is not entirely safe.

There's the mentality among bankers that non-bankers are second class humans and are not entitled to their own money.

Bankers are just playing the games following the same rules we all have to play. They are victims just like the rest of us.

I understand this, it is hard to just give away something valuable like gold.

Lol I am sorry but that is plainly the stupidest thing I have heard someone say all year...

As people said: if you can't touch it, you don't really own it(it is valid for Bitcoin because it needs to be store in some pen drive/HD/paper wallet/wharever).

Specially when you put your precious savings in the hand of the entity that has no one but himself to regulate it. At least against baks you can use the Justice, but what to do against those that are the justice and all the other powers?

Problem is most people like the convenient and are not aware of what is going on in the world.

This is why I laugh at people who laugh at Bitcoin.  They don't even have a clue about these issues and this is the kind of thing you never hear discussed on the news.  The real problems and News that people think can be ignored.  This is a scandal in my eyes andI get pretty upset just thinking about really.

that is because this is FUD. It is illegal to seize property like this.

I am also starting to think that maybe there is no gold in the US or at least not as much as they claim to be. Otherwise, why not to show the exact figures?

There is a "hidden" amount of gold owned by the US in fort knox, I would support the government releasing data on this. However being able to say how much gold is in the US and owned by private citizens would require people to "register" their gold which could lead to taking of gold which I would be against.

Care to enlighten me why I am wrong? Do you have any counter arguments to invalidate my statement?
