      Nah, at that point you have the same problem that Bitcoin does. Well, one of the many problems that Bitcoin has. Okay it has another one of the many problems that Bitcoin has.

      In any event, you can’t realize that kind of gain without crashing the asset price and rendering it all worthless. I would like to repeat the proposed solution from Auric G. Et Al to instead detonate a dirty bomb inside of Fort Knox, possibly with an English misogynist handcuffed to it, which will allow us to instead reduce the global supply and earn significantly higher returns in appreciation of our existing holdings.

        i think you underestimate the world gold market. If they were only selling the gold domestically i would agree but there really aren’t very many americans and the rest of the world likes gold for many reasons.

        Additionally these assholes dont need anywhere near 100% of the value they are selling stolen assets 75% is done, 50% is fine, it’s all profit for them
