GOLD'S POSSIBLE FUTURE AS MONEY. The Commodity gold is becoming regional due to supply chain fracturing and de globalization. it's pricing will be as well, not unlike different Crude Oils. The Money gold, is more needed internationally than ever. Thus there will be a movement to differentiate between the two (monetary/ non-monetary) in a big way.. to keep and consolidate power. Monetary Gold will not be taxed and will flow freely only between nation-states ( i.e. mercantilism) . But anything less than official monetary gold will be restricted in movement, tariff-ed on transaction, and in general dissuaded from ownership transfer. The smelters will grow in importance as they will be the keymasters from one domain to the other. The nations passively conspiring to do this (China/US etc..) will eventually agree on monetary gold standards acceptable to both sides of the world (for their necessary inter-regional trade LBMA/SGE/ DUBAI standards etc0 ) and nothing else Golden will be considered money. This standardization and control of smelting/refining will be key to keeping the monetary gold in the hands of the powerful; affluent savvy stackers will pay exorbitant fees to "launder" their imperfect gold into monetary Gold). This: in combination with the price of gold creeping ever higher for a decade which will in turn "Price Gold out of the hands of those who cannot afford to hold on to it for cash flow purposes." will solidify and assure the powerful control money in its true form... while most of humanity will use bits of paper to transact in each nations safe borders.. anyway.. good morning
