#1 The StarShip going to the moon would be big enough to carry major mining equipment to the moon. One crater has over 4 quintillion dollars worth of gold in it. Just saying... it could make a gold currency worthless.

IF
true or until proven otherwise.
Then GOLD prices will soar.

But if China is playing a World Market Currency Game to break it. Then the price will suddenly drop leaving plans and investments based on Gold profits penniless.

#4 If a mysterious pandemic cripples global economies, gold could become the default currency.

#5 Some say money is all about confidence. The US has "printed" trillions of dollars over previous US administrations. So why no inflation?

No guarantees that money backed by gold would work. The Chinese have a lot of convincing to do, but if the US commits political & economic suicide, it may happen by default.

#6 Of China only backs this tiny portion of their financial arrangements, how much can the vast unbacked portion be trusted?

#7 The Whole Industrial Revolution could be considered a "Chinese Weapon Against The Dollar" as long as their pawns here in power in the US are still pursuing their Morgenthau Plan against us.

#8 Going back to the PRC with a pile of yuan and trying to convert it back into physical gold would truly be a fool's errand.

#10 Seems a dubious strategy. The US, Australia and Canada produce more gold than China does. China's producing a lot more gold but still only around 10% of world production, and US and other countries' scrap metal supplies as much or more gold as mines do.

#12 "Scientists believe all the gold on Earth formed in supernovae and neutron star collisions that occurred before the solar system formed. In these events, gold formed during the r-process.
Gold sank to the Earth's core during the planet's formation. It's only accessible today because of asteroid bombardment.
Theoretically, it's possible to form gold by the nuclear processes of fusion, fission, and radioactive decay. It's easiest for scientists to transmute gold by bombarding the heavier element mercury and producing gold via decay." - the web

At a certain point in price, the third method becomes viable.

#13 Coincidence that China is big into Africa?

#14 Would you trust the Chinese dictatorship to swap Yuan for gold if it was not in their interest?

#15 Gold is not some with static value. Its value goes up and down just like anything else.

All China has to do is not do what the US is doing. China will rule the economic roost within the next 20 years.

#16 Within the next 20 years?

Have you paid attention to the trade deficit, or the "where are we going to get our chips now" crisis?

#17 You don't have to go to the Wharton School to suspect a huge worldwide inflationary period is coming rapidly. If paper money loses more confidence, hard assets would seem to be a smart hedge position to hold, they almost certainly cannot decline in relative value, so land and gold seem sensible. It might be nothing more complex than that!

Converting Federal Reserve Notes into gold is rather complex. Buying a week's supply of food with gold is not easy either. Has anyone been able to fill their gas tank on the spot sing gold as money?
