"The Fall of the US Gold Standard and Rise of Fiat: The gold-backed system lasted until 1933 when FDR suspended convertibility and banned private gold ownership. The Gold Reserve Act followed nationalizing gold and devaluing the dollar to $35/oz. Under Bretton Woods only foreign central banks could redeem dollars for gold. The U.S. monetary base grew from about $XX billion in 1945 to $XX billion by 1971. The official gold stock was XXX million ounces or 8100 tons). At $35/oz that equals $XXX billion a coverage ratio of only 13%. Once global claims on dollars far exceeded the gold stock the"

"The general public doesnt understand Bitcoins value proposition but neither do they understand why conventional wisdom dictates not to save in fiat. While they are aware that it is both absurd to have one million dollars sitting in cash in a brokerage account and better to invest in financialized/monetized assets e.g. stocks bonds real estate collectibles etc. they dont know why this is the case. If they understood the latter (why conventional wisdom dictates not to save in fiat) they might be one step closer to understanding the former (Bitcoin's unique value proposition)"

"Bitcoiners don't waste time demonizing gold. It's the perfect PoC for PoW sound money in a crisis-ridden debt-drenched world. Instead study gold's history--how and why it became a central component of central bank balance sheets--and demonstrate how BTC fulfills and advances upon those very same functions"

"For those wanting a quick macro primer on why gold is melting up lets unpack it from two primary vectors: BRICS de-dollarization and re-collateralization. Before doing so a bit of context: For those living under a pet rock for the past two years gold has been on a tear since early 2024 more than doubling in a year and a half. When gold moves this impulsively and sustainedly its signaling at least two things: 1) a flight to safety 2) geo-political monetary shifts and 3) the involvement of large institutions. China is openly stacking gold for its reserves and theres chatter the US might"

"Exactly. Since January 1st 2020 Gold is up XXX% while BTC is up nearly 1400%. While I do think BTC will catch up into year end or into 2026 Gold is simply catching up from the past X years. Also don't discount the fact that the perpetual bid for gold is coming from countries with long traditions of storing wealth in gold habits that arent easily shaken"

"In the previous post we covered two chief macro forces that have contributed to the melt up in gold over the past two years: 1) BRICS de-dollarization (the fall of the petrodollar) 2) BRICS' Re-collateralization (the rise of the Shang-Gold). Now let us cover the historical context of the USs current fiscal and monetary situation before exploring X potential US counter-offensives which we simply list here: 1) Re-collateralizing the US monetary base with gold alone (which on our view seems unlikely as this would be a concession to Xis strategy) 2) Adopting a BTC-only system (also unlikely given"

"In sum: The U.S. dollar has shifted from a tightly backed gold standard to a fully fiat system with the monetary base expanding nearly 75-fold since 1971 and the federal debt ballooning to $XX trillion.

"The Rise of the US Gold Standard: The U.S. Coinage Act of 1792 established the dollar as the national currency backed by gold and silver (a bimetallic standard). The Treasury held these metals as reserves which both backed and were convertible into the currency. This ensured the monetary base was anchored to or collateralized by physical assets. During the Civil War the US suspended this convertibility causing inflation and a volatile exchange rate with gold. The Resumption Act of 1875 restored gold convertibility at prewar parity leading to the Gold Standard Act of 1900 which made gold the"

"Would not the US re-collateralizing its monetary base (currently $6T) with gold la Shanghai act as a force-function to constrain monetary expansion i.e. put a cap on profligate money printing and fiat debasement In other words re-collateralizing the dollar would force fiscal discipline even austerity which at first glance is absolutely anathema to BTC"
