China has enough gold to break the USD with a gold backed currency if they want to. In my opinion --
The cryptocurrency that will replace the USD will be run by the US government / Federal Reserve system only after the USD is out of favor, and for that to happen, other than TPTB straight up throwing in the towel, the outsourced currency has to come home, the oil market has to get away from the petrodollar which is in progress with bilateral agreements although military might enforces that to some extent, and precious metals have to go high enough in price to become a more attractive currency. I have to think the elite are salivating over the eventual prospect of a fully tracked government controlled digital currency, but things like monetary cycles and the perceptions of the masses take time. It seems to me more so a positioning game for the inevitable rather than a coersion to usher it in. I've long eyed 2021 as the year that the precious metal market must choose a direction due to opposing trends converging, and with gold becoming a tier 1 asset soon along with a new presidential cycle, it feels like the winds of change are on the horizon. I first became aware of BTC in 2009, but would never put my money into a system I view as setting the stage for a brave new world.
Silver: the Rodney Dangerfield of precious metals.
If it's printed on a piece of paper it's worth the paper it's printed on.
If it's a digital asset it's worth the electrons in cyberspace.
