but it wont work cause now what happens? whoever has the most gold holds all the cards in the deck

You think they'll act like the gold was there in ft. Knox all along and we were all Kooks to say it was gone?

in a few yrs, that will be china

they found under water gold near them

so they built islands and put military on them

next they will mine it

so instead of a treasonous government a few miles away i have a country of tyrants a couple thousand miles away that still control my life?

no thanks

We have plenty of gold here, If we had a crypto-gold standard, we could sell it before we mine it.

we wouldnt need gold, physical value is relative

oh don't worry, 1 well placed nuke will render mine useless

You just need to tie the gold crypto to an area of land with a certain gram/ton know gold content verified by Satelight photo

nobody wants radioactive gold

wait so now instead of stopping nuclear war we are gonna cause one with a country with more than a one million strong standing army?

that sounds like a great plan

we'll just blame iran

I hope Trump has a better plan.

That plan sucks, and I know we can't fight China.

actually, we have mega tons of gold in our own nation we haven't even mined yet

and throw away any shred of possible peace in the world? whats plan C?

Plan C is we get on the OBOR

obor?

One Belt One Road

we wait til iran throws a nuke, then test the soil afterwards, adjust a nuke to match it and make it show up near under water gold field

i have heard of it, idk it in detail though

I measured it out, we can build bridges from alaska to russia, they won't even be as long sas some of the Chinese bridges

so then they go to war and what? we all get screwed by a screwed atmosphere? brilliant

The OBOR is pure genius,but it means the end of the petrodollar (which is dead anyway)

can't build the bridge out of concrete. it won't handle well in frozen weather

its already had a funeral and is six feet under @natxlaw

steel should do the job

btw, i think we're already producing more oil than we need, so i guess we're exchanging oil for gold now

We are going back to being a producer, which is why we need to get on the OBOR

we are, we have been producing enough oil for a while. just now we are using it

idk about the OBOR but the jobs are coming back, slowly but surely

You are not going to be able to be competitive shipping your products on boats, when 2/3 of the world can do it with Trains.

however, the economy has to correct and it wont be pretty

the trick is to produce transport that uses it effectively with little usage of it, and don't sell that tech

so we would lower our usage of the oil and get more gold

that tech should be open source

how about stop thinking in terms of having "more" of anything. more gold, more oil
