@alexchiniborch: The largest hoard of gold on earth isn't in Fort Knox. It's eighty feet under a street in Manhattan — and most of it doesn't belong to America. It sits in a vault cut into the bedrock of New York, because bedrock is the only thing on that island solid enough to take the weight. Inside, the gold is stacked in separate cages, country by country. Dozens of nations keep their reserves there. Which leads to the question I actually want to leave you with. When a country 'owns' gold that lives in another country's basement — who controls it? Most of the time that question is academic. But every so often a nation asks for its gold back, and the world gets a short, sharp lesson in the difference between owning something and holding a claim on it. Some of those requests have taken years. Some were simply refused. So it's worth asking a quieter question about your own metal. Where is it, physically? Whose building? Who has to agree before it's in your hands? Ownership is a location, not a feeling. — Alex, The Gold Guy Dubai #gold #fortknox #federalreserve #dubai #preciousmetals #sovereignty #storeofvalue #alluca
