  6. Krugs are OK. They have a distinct copperish color to them due to their allow mix though. I prefer the color of pure gold (Maples/Buffalos) or Eagles (alloy has less copper than Krugs).
  7. Or maybe that's the moral hazard that comes with FDIC/fedgov bailouts/bailins. Privatized profits when risks pay off, socialized losses when they don't.
  8. First Republic has fallen. FDIC press release: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USFDIC/bulletins/398f972 https://www.americanbanker.com/news/republic-first-fails-fulton-bank-acquires-assets-branches American Banker says the sale will result in a $667 million loss for the Deposit Insurance Fund.
  9. Let gold compete with the Fed's fiat as unpegged legal tender (no capital gains or sales taxes and let it have full legal tender status in parallel with the USD at market rates) and that wouldn't matter. Short of that, the answer is obviously fuck no.

  15. A new wrinkle has entered the chat: https://news.bitcoin.com/brics-bloc-mulls-stablecoins-cbdc-based-system-for-international-settlements/ ^ They don't specifically mention Tether, but it's the only big stablecoin outside of the USA's jurisdiction right now, so it's safe bet that it's the one they are considering. It's a bit of a pivot as Russia had been talking (last year) about basing/anchoring a BRICS currency with gold. Of course, they could be building their own stablecoin - even one anchored to gold instead of any national currency(ies).
