I have never heard that,I know in time of crisis,it can borrow your vehicle,tools,and use your warehouse,mansions,planes.tractors,crawlers.
If you are a big buyer of gold,your dealer could store it for you either here,or SWITZERLAND or Singapore .

Why?
As the peso becomes worth less,rich people will pay more for their foreign imports,so hoard what appreciates in value.
Maybe, maybe not. Some things are getting obsolete quickly.

Owning lead, you can get any of these things (and more.) The key is to not let anyone know, you have anything, (especially lead.)

I have a bad feeling if we have a cold winter,fuel cost will go thru the roof !
I am in TX,it is starting to get cold in morning and evening,67 degrees when I wake up this morning.
And OPEC Plus will squeeze us,Saudi does not like Biden,there is an ANTI WESTERN movement going on,why deplete your resources so the developed countries can live better and sell manufactured goods back to us.China has opened their eyes,that they can make things too.
Take a look at the European countries-UK,France,Germany,Belgium,Austria,how much are they paying for oil and gas?

I wonder why, while 300 tons sounds like a lot, it's 8.5 billion dollars (60 billion CNY) worth at $1,770.78 an ounce. If a country purchase it, it hardly enough to use it to back there currency, the GDP of China is 12 trillion dollars, and 9840 billion CNY currency in circulation, it's barely enough back 1/2 of a percent of Chinese currency with gold.

Thinking: that's probably a small drop in the ocean of gold, so gold really is not a rare commodity. There is an awful lot of it if it can be sold 300 tons at a time.

The US bullion reserves are about 8100 tons. 300 tons isn't that much. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/data...ury-owned-gold
