Fort Knox Gold Audit?

by

The chances of a good old-fashioned Fort Knox gold audit, happening before May 2025, have gone up faster than a squirrel on a caffeine bender, folks. All thanks to President Trump himself, who decided to throw his hat into the ring on this whole gold-counting kerfuffle.

Trump, during his latest flight to Washington, declared (with the gravitas of a tea kettle whistling), that his administration will be paying a visit to the vault. A visit to confirm, you see, that all that shiny gold is actually there. 😶 This whole initiative, started by the libertarian financial blog ZeroHedge, and then picked up by Senator Rand Paul and Elon Musk, seems to have found its champion in the most unlikely of places.

As for what would happen if the gold isn’t there… well, Trump expressed his hopes that “everything is fine with Fort Knox.” But, let’s be honest, he also added, with a theatrical sigh, “If the gold isn’t there, we’d be very upset.” Imagine that! 😨

This whole Fort Knox audit has been a hot topic in the crypto world. Many folks in the Bitcoin community are cheering this on, pointing out that Bitcoin, unlike gold, can be audited 24/7. No need for dusty vaults and worried accountants.

But back to our dear President and his prediction market prophecy. After his statement, the odds of a Fort Knox audit happening before May 2025 jumped past 70% on Polymarket. Of course, there’s always the chance that it’s all a big elaborate hoax… a conspiracy to pump up the price of Bitcoin, perhaps? 🤫 Only time will tell.
