I believe that Smaul Gold's YouTube Channel provides a beneficial cautionary note to some interpretive, even mystical, commentary on China and Russia's implied financial strategy by Dave and other voices. Further, after years of U.S. financial policy being led by people who referenced gold as a "barbarous relic," the mass of Americans and Europeans probably aren't "into" gold as money. In the U.S. ammo may be viewed more favorably as a "store of value" --- or "money." Whatever buys food or pays the rent will likely be accepted as contemporary U.S. money. The latter may be supplied by the feds on coded, recyclable plastic. The U.S. petrodollar's weakness may not be intrinsic but based on the relentless bullying, dishonesty, trade embargoes, unsolicited war-equivalent policing in "other peoples' countries" (OPC), etc. which drives other people into deep hostility to anything American. At any rate, if Trump succeeds in creating a "hard fork" in American trade, finance and economic policies from those of the post-Nixon era, the various business arrangements of American companies will enter into a salubrious period of competition, as opposed to fraud and modern economic slavery enforced by the U.S. Army & Navy, as well as a host of U.S. fedcop organizations. Yes, our "allies" help too --- and for this, they are hated as well. It does seem strange that in a cryptocurrency future gold bullion would be stockpiled by BRIIC nations. I guess that Vladimir and Xi view gold as another tool to use in leveraging the best possible advantage for their nations and those allied to them during the approaching global agreement on finance, which surely must come. Trump cannot be planning WW3; he must be planning deals. It seems likely that an agreement based on national cryptocurrencies, with strong centralized nodes held by 1) the Fed or 2) the Treasury, probably modelled on Dash and Neo to some extent, being a reasonable plan. Other nations will do the same. The key agreement should be the gradual implementation of a global financial platform that may be something like Cardano or some fourth or fifth generation cryptocurrency package. In such a world, truly, money would never sleep. There will probably be a kind of global excise tax on usage. Gold & silver cannot be a permanent answer to anything other than jewelry, dental caps and unique industrial applications. One thing is certain, there is not going to be a longtime monetary use for gold. In fact, mathematical algorithms may have more future value than gold. Hence, if gold-rich countries mine and stockpile gold, it's probably because they have a lot and plan to unload it at a good profit on certain Western "investors."
