Owning gold doesn’t just store your wealth, it actively feeds and strengthens the state’s power over money itself.

Central banks worldwide hoard massive amounts of it in their vaults, treating gold as their preferred, controllable reserve asset.

When governments accumulate gold, they bolster their ability to manage currencies, hedge against crises on their terms, and maintain dominance in the global financial order.

YOUR gold holdings directly support this system: the more private individuals buy and hold physical gold, the more it legitimizes and sustains the very infrastructure that states rely on to exert monetary control.

Worse, by choosing gold, you’re holding an asset that’s historically seizable when the state deems it necessary.

Every ounce you own in gold is a vote for the old system where the state holds the upper hand.

You’re not escaping their game you’re handing them more pieces to play with, and potentially putting yourself in a position where they can take it back if they choose.

True sovereignty comes from assets they can’t easily commandeer or manipulate at scale.

Gold keeps you tethered to their world just like dirty fiat does.

Don’t be a fucking boomer.

Know what you own, or at least own the fact that you don’t give a fuck about freedom.

Fair point. Wish the Bitcoiners who hold gold would realize this. They might be making fiat money from holding gold - but they are propping up the banks… typical boomer ignorance. They just push their problems onto their children and the future generations because they are scared of change.

Now this sounds like some federal reserve propaganda. "Don't use gold, use Israeli controlled stable coins instead"

Their gold reserves are fractional at best. All their wealth is fraud. Whether we value gold, bottle caps or monkey jpgs they'll just lie about every number involved. True, bitcoin can't go above 21 million coins, so just forcing that limiter would be huge. Lots of wiggle room for fraud in that cei...

This is exactly why once a few years ago I said “gold is fiat” to Gigi and he got triggered and unfollowed me. nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc Still love you though brother.

States also own bitcoin, do they not? Does that make bitcoin fiat too?
