Uncomfortable re: GBTC. Hmmmm. I am increasingly comfortable with it, and increasingly uncomfortable re: Au. I think it has to do with known manipulation versus no discernible manipulation. This morning, for example, Au is undergoing a typical random $20 downdraft for no particular reason except that the powers that are have decreed it to be so. It should be well into the 2300-2500s, all things being equal. The gold manipulators are skilled, efficient, deadly, and they get their way. Thus far, BTC has been allowed to have a manipulation-free existence. Our hope, fervent prayer, expectation is that the evil gold manipulators shall fail one fine day. But we’ve been praying for a very long time, to no avail.

Crypto is like a virus. It has capacity to mutate to avoid manipulation, regulation, or legislation. But someone has to orchestrate the mutation, putting that someone at risk. Plus, the more it is mutated, the less valuable it would likely become. As you said, a muddle. The Great Reset will involve sovereign digital currencies, with all transactions being handled centrally for social control. Au will either become worthless or highly valued, but illegal. Ditto non-sovereign cryptos. A high social credit score will be key to wealth. No matter how much one earns in the market, there will be a deduction/tax for a low score and an enhancement for a high score. Digital sovereign currencies will enable all this. China is at the vanguard in this Brave New World but we shall not be far behind. Social scores linked to wealth or non-wealth will be the key to compel conformity. It will be a very ugly world because control always seeks more, never less. We’ll be indistinguishable from Pavlov’s dogs.
