‘Bitcoin Fixes This’—Elon Musk Pitched Gold ‘Upgrade’

ByVictoria

Now, as Elon Musk brands the U.S. debt clock “terrifying,” bitcoin-backing U.S. senator Cynthia Lummis has pitched Musk a bitcoin “fix” to questions over the U.S. gold reserves.

“Bitcoin fixes this,” Lummis posted to X in response to Musk’s question about how often the U.S. gold in Fort Knox is reviewed. “A bitcoin reserve could be audited any time 24/7 with a basic computer. It’s time to upgrade our reserves.”

“The recent decrease in volatility, coupled with the rising price of gold, should highlight bitcoinʼs growing appeal as an alternative store of value,” analysts with the Bitfinex crypto exchange said in emailed comments. “We believe that while bitcoin may face some short-term pressures due to macroeconomic headwinds in the coming weeks, its long-term value proposition continues to strengthen.”

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement Thursday it revised import figures from April to November after discovering the discrepancy, which had resulted from migrating to a new data transmission system.

The miscalculation led to a four-fold increase in gold imports to a record $14.8 billion in November, causing the trade deficit to widen to $37.8 billion.

Preliminary revisions show gold imports were $37.39 billion in the April-November period, down $11.7 billion from previously reported.

China, the biggest steel maker, is not a top direct exporter of steel to the U.S. but Trump said that China’s exports had forced others to ship more to the U.S., while rising imports “support a conclusion” of transshipment or processing of steel products via third party countries into the U.S.

“Today is a great day for the U.S. aluminum industry,” said Mark Duffy, president of the APAA.

“Unfair trade practices have devastated the domestic aluminum industry and President Trump’s actions today will protect thousands of American workers and their families.”

The massive outflows of gold and silver bullion from the UK into the U.S. will not likely return even after the tariff and trade situation is resolved, and while gold prices are poised to continue setting fresh all-time highs, the setup for silver is even stronger, according to TD Securities’ senior commodity strategist Daniel Ghali.

“This isn’t the silver squeeze narrative that you’ve heard about, this is the silver squeeze that you can buy into,” Ghali added.

Silver gained as much as 1.2%, rising for a third day. A guage of the dollar hit the lowest in about three months, as the euro strengthened amid Germany’s plan to boost spending and loosen borrowing restrictions.

The “tidal wave” of silver risks pushing freely available silver in the London spot market below a critical threshold needed for the market to function, Daniel Ghali, a senior commodity strategist at TD Securities, recently wrote in a note.

Spot silver rose 0.9% to $32.262 an ounce as of 11:41 a.m. in London. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.4%. Gold and palladium were little changed, while platinum advanced.
