Egon von Greyerz – X, Released on 12/12/24
Total global gold reserves allegedly held by CBs are valued at $3.1 trillion at the current market price. That value is absurd when one US company – Microsoft – has the same valuation. Just think about it: Microsoft is as big as the gold backing of the global financial system.!
