Fort Knox Theory
If the gold IS there: dollar stays stable, we can get 5k checks without insane inflation because the bulk of inflation is coming from the money the gov't printed out and gave to corporations, NGOs, other countries… DOGE offsets any inflation from money given to citizens.
If the gold ISN'T there… gold and silver prices SPIKE HIGH and HARD. Dollar plumets. 5K payments to citizens helps offsets instability.
I think regardless, gold and silver is going to skyrocket. I suspect Trump actually did manage to sneak the gold back in, and Q even said "we have the gold" In this circumstance, we will see continual and significant rises in gold and silver, rather than a drastic and instant spike.
I went to the silver store today and bought some more, and it was pretty interesting. They had a LOT of Chinese silver (I didn't buy that silver, went with American cast bullion), and they ran the machine to test some of the silver rounds and they came up as aluminum… So don't buy Chinese silver if you can avoid it lol.
