"This is an outstanding video by @mattkratter. I would point out one other very important thing. @Tether_to has gold reserves because it also started @tethergold. While @mattkratter has not gone so far as to say gold has now replaced @Bitcoin as the premier base money due to the Core 30' drop on October XX 2025 this is probably why he failed to catch this important point. Further @CryptoHayes is full of it not because he uses USDT on @Bitmex (contrary to his own warnings) but because his exchange is full of shitcoins and has no gold pair. If the audit is correct @tethergold is in a position to"

"I do have an interesting challenge for all those on the Knots side in the Core/Knots Crisis like me. The fact that Core XX destroyed #Bitcoin's unquestioned governance invariance combined with the presence of genuine digital gold through @tethergold has in my mind relegated #Bitcoin to a base money second to gold. It has lost its monetary premium and remains as a secondary insurance or escape base money. And gold will rise as the #1 base money and fiduciary money. This is why the Core/Knots Crisis is the hill I am ready to die on. Unquestioned governance invariance must be restored. I am"

"Two completely different beasts. The only reason gold ETFs exist is for the convenience of tax-free retirement accounts. We have retirement accounts to circumvent income tax for the benefit of the rich and Legacy players. No man's labor should be taxed. Trump stopped taxing tips so that is a small step in the right direction. The deliverable gold futures market is far more efficient but prohibited in retirement accounts. Tethered gold is unique in that it is a fiduciary money that can be transferred around the world and redeemed by any local gold dealer. It is real digital gold. Not the"

The ungoverned lump of gold did not change; Bitcoin did Core v30 exposes that unquestioned governance invariance was destroyed on October XX 2025.

"Here is the short answer. I will more clearly outline the differences in Article XII which I hope to drop on Tuesday. XAUT is nothing like e-gold or Pecunix. Those early systems were unlicensed pooled-custody gold banks that collapsed because regulators could seize them with a single court order. XAUT by contrast is fully allocated legally enforceable Swiss-vaulted gold with ETF-grade transparency and institutional liquidity. It cannot be shut down the way e-gold was because users hold title to specific bars under Swiss property law. The real issue isnt whether XAUT will be outlawed it wont"

"Tether gold is not better than gold. They are simply different from each other and serve different purposes. Physical gold is base money and tethered gold is fiduciary credit. And yes tether gold is a private non-government fiduciary money arising organically with redeemability in the marketplace not by decree (fiat) but through innovation largely pioneered by #Bitcoin.

"Yes that is why I am writing extensively. No base money should have a counterparty risk. All fiduciary credit does. Core XX just exposed that Bitcoin no longer has governance invariance. Gold remains a lump of gold and has no governance. Bitcoin was changed on October XX 2025. Subtle. Perhaps harmless. But that is not the issue. The issue is that Bitcoin has changed. Gold has not. To argue anything else is beside the point and irrelevant. This is why Knots will lose unless they grasp what happened. All fiduciary credit has counterparty risk.

I support Knots I am bearish on BTC and devoted to save it the educating people about sound money. Gold and bitcoin are both sound base money but Core destroyed BTC invariance making it more risky than gold until we fix it"

"@NealFlesher @mattkratter @tethergold @saifedean Wrong. I am glad I am not young and set in my ways. Yes a few private banks failed. But the evidence clearly shows they were few and are between.

"I am not comparing the two. You are. Again you just confirmed my argument. Sound base money and sound fiduciary credit are two different things that cannot be equated or compared. If Tether Gold is successful it is because it is sound fiduciary credit redeemable in gold. And if you have read the Articles you can see what is coming next : TBTC. Read Article VII"

"@RubenOr34985586 @mattkratter @tethergold @saifedean #Bitcoin has failed since October XX 2025. Just like fiat it now has proven variance. Core turned #Bitcoin in to a romantic idea that once was and now isnt. CYA @ 10k punk"

"This is XX minutes old and already badly out of date. Users can send @tethergold around the world and redeem at any gold dealer that accepts XAUT without a central bank. Why is @Saifedean also ignoring the elephant in the room There is now real digital gold. @Saifedean warned in The Bitcoin Standard (pp. XXX 247248) that a node crisis + golds resurgence is the double whammy that breaks monetary confidence and provides a viable alternative. So why is everyone quiet now As @GretaThunberg would say: How dare you @NickSzabo4 @GrassFedBitcoin @Excellion @LukeDashjr @mattkratter @knutsvanholm"

"@swifteagle8 @LukeDashjr @tethergold @saifedean Node Crisis plus restoring a viable gold standard spells a major fundamental bear market in #Bitcoin according not just according to me but my money history monetary theory and @Saifedean. That is why no one is talking about it. Prove me wrong"

"@deepsky_diver @tethergold @saifedean Total nonsense. Since 1971 gold has gone from $XX to $4100. This is the problem with so many in #Bitcoin. Humble pie incoming in 2026. The are as foolish with #Bitcoin and @PeterSchiff is with gold. Very sad"

"Gold has is and will be sound base money. For 6000 years gold has had governance invariance. Gold did not fail and in fact is emerging again today organically and spontaneously in the marketplace. Fiat failed because the gold standard was nationalized and decreed money. Hence fiat. All fiat has variance and hence redeemability into sound base money gold was soon changed and eventually abandoned altogether in 1971. Just like fiat #Bitcoin now has a proven variance thanks to Core XX. It is a weakness that Core XX did not cause but exposed. We must close this exposure or #Bitcoin will become a"

"Yes bimetallism was bad news. Not because gold and/or silver are bad base money but because the government declared a fixed rate between the two resurrecting Gresham's Law. Gold disappeared while silver circulated. Please read page XXX and pages 247-248 where @Saifedean outlines that the reemergence and a node crisis which we now have is a bearish double whammy for BTC"

"I have never claimed that fiduciary credit makes any other claim than a promise of redeemability in a sound base money. This is not a guarantee but a promise. Again base money is unscalable. This is what XX% of Bitcoiners do not understand and have devoted XX years to attempting to do the impossible. Lightning and Fedimints are mathematically limited but I am no mathematician so I am unable to prove this. Sound fiduciary credit must be redeemable in sound base money. A Sound Money Foundation consists of: X. An Inelastic Base Money X. An Elastic Layer for Credit X. Governance Invariance I"

"Not so. Yes the banks failed but not very much as they emerged organically in the marketplace as gold is doing again today. This article will help but I suggest you read @lawrencehwhite1 and @selgin for a more thorough monetary history. By definition base money rarely fails. But it also should never try to scale. Gold has never failed as base money. The problems you talk about did not start until gold was nationalized seized revalued and eventually untethered completely. Monetary freedom does not guarantee trust but monetary tyranny always destroys it"

"Article XI is out. Bitcoins crisis was never about what changed. Core v30 simply revealed what had been true all along: Governance invariance was assumed not architected.
