WEBVTT - Fort Knox Gold is MISSING? The U.S. Government Won’t Say 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.360 What if I told you the gold that backs America's 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.760 financial system might not even exist. Now, for decades, we've 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.080 been told that Fort Knox holds two hundred and fifty 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.760 billion dollars worth of gold, which is the backbone of 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.080 US credibility. But here's one big problem. No one's actually 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.400 ever seen the gold in over fifty years. The US 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.239 government refuses to audit it. And you know, they could 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.239 shut down every conspiracy theory tomorrow, but they won't. And 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.639 the last time they let people inside it was a 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:32.560 stage pr stunt. No inventory, no waning, no serial numbers check, 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.519 just politicians posing for some gold bars for the camera. 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.280 So why won't they prove that it's there? And what 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.560 happens if it's not? And it gets worse because even 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.040 if the gold is there, it raises an even bigger question. Now, 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.839 real quick, I'm Mark Moss. I've built and exited multiple 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.440 tech companies, invested through several boom and bus cycles, and 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.560 today I'm a partner at leading bitcoin venture fund and 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.120 advisor to multiple public tech companies. Also write the Quantum 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.560 Wave Investment Report or help investors navigate the biggest shifts 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.920 in tech and money. Now I make these videos to 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.720 share the insights that we're using so you can profit 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.000 from these massive shifts before the rest of the world 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.640 wakes up. And in this video, we're gonna go deep. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.760 We're gonna break down why Fort Knox hasn't been audited 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.600 in half a century. We're gonna look at the real 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.520 reasons why the government refuses to open the vault, and 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.000 most importantly, what this means for your money and how 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.920 you can protect yourself before it's too late. Because if 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.560 history tells us anything, it's that when governments hide the truth, 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:36.520 that people always pay the price. So let's go Fort Knox. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.440 It's supposed to be the most secure vault on earth, 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.399 holding over four five hundred and eighty metric tons of 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.000 gold worth over two hundred and fifty billion. But here's 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.040 the question, why hasn't anyone verified that gold in over 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.720 fifty years? Now? The lost audit wasn't an audit at all. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.440 It was a pr stunt in nineteen seventy four the 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.400 US Treasury. They brought in a hand pick group of 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.400 politicians and journalists and they led them through a single vault. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.760 They took some pictures, they looked at some gold, but 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.560 there's no inventory check. There was no wane, there was 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.440 no purity testing. I mean they weren't even allowed to 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.320 verify if those bars were actually even owned by the 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:21.080 US government. And since then nothing, no audits, no independent verification, 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.839 just vault seal checks, which means some government bureaucrat looks 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.399 at the door and confirms it's still locked. And that's it. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.680 And here's where it gets even worse. Seven of those 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.880 reports are missing. So let's get this straight. The gold 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.680 allegedly exists, the government refuses to verify it. The official 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.560 records are incomplete. So let's put this into perspective. I mean, 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.680 the US government releases data on everything, right. We know 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.239 how much debt they take on, we know how much 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.520 they spend, we know where tax revenue comes from. But 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.040 when it comes to verifying the physical gold that supposedly 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.760 backs the US reserves nothing. Now, at any Wall Street 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:07.160 firm a mistake like this, it would get people fired, investigated, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.079 possibly even put into jail. But when it's the US Treasury, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.440 no worries business as usual. Now, the obvious question is, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.919 if the goal is really there, why not prove it? Right? 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.840 The government could shut down every conspiracy theory overnight but 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.160 for fifty years they haven't. And so the only answer 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.600 that we've gotten is some variation of trust me bro. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.960 And as we all know, when someone in power tells 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.480 you to just trust them, it usually means that you shouldn't. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.240 Now that's exactly why calls for an audit are getting 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.360 louder and louder. And this time it's different because for 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.240 decades past administration's ignored it. But now with Trump, and 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.400 now with Elon Musk and Dodgs already auditing the government 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:50.640 books all over the place, Fort Knox audit is suddenly 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.440 back on the table. Now, if anyone could actually push 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.680 for a Fort Knox audit, it probably would be the 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.960 Trump administration, backed by outsiders like Scott Descent and yes, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.640 Elon Musk. So let's break it down. Scott Bissent, he's 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.520 Trump's new economic advisor. He ran a twenty billion dollar 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.280 hedge fund. It was the chief investment officer for George Soros. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.680 That means he spent decades inside global financial war rooms 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.080 where every single number gets scrutinized. You think a guy 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.880 like that wouldn't want to know if America's actually got 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.520 the real gold. And then there's Elon Musk. Mus has 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.240 already called out the lack of transparency in Fort Knox. 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.919 When the topic of an audit went viral on X, 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.480 Musk replied, quote, surely it's reviewed at least once every year. No, 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.000 and that's Elon Musk. He's one of the richest men 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.560 on the planet, assuming that Fort Knox's checked annually, only 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.760 to find out that government hasn't done a real audit 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.159 since before he was born. And finally there's Trump. Now, 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.560 if there's one thing Trump understands, it's optics. So pushing 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.560 for a Fort Knox audit isn't just about gold. It's 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.560 about exposing what past administration's ignored, what they covered up, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.160 what they failed to investigate. Now, politically it's a perfect 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.120 populist move. You know they lied to you for fifty years. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.160 All get to the truth. Now, The last major Fort 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.760 Knox audit happened under Nixon, right before the US abandoned 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.240 the gold standard in nineteen seventy one. Could that be 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.960 a coincidence? But here's the real question, would they actually 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.080 do it or is the truth too dangerous to reveal? 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.880 Because if the gold isn't there, or worse, if it's 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.040 been secretly sold or collateralized. We're talking about a scandal 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.840 that could shake global markets. And that's exactly why this 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.800 next part matters. You see, if Trump, the Cent and Musk, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.520 if they actually pushed for the audit, could they get 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.119 it done? Maybe? But would they want to? That's actually 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.239 the real question, because an audit isn't just about proving 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.120 the gold is there. It's about what happens if it's not. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.159 And here's the thing. An audit of Fort Knox could 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.960 be done. I don't know, probably a week. The US 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.200 government has spent over seven trillion dollars on wars in 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.800 the last two decades. But somehow we're supposed to believe 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.120 that auditing a pile of gold bars is too expensive. Now, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.480 the truth is, there are some real reasons they want 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.680 audit for it, and some of them maybe are even 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.719 worse than any conspiracy theory. A small business owner, are 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.560 you buried in all types of work keeping you from 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.120 the real thing that makes you money?

Again, that's Justworks dot Com slash podcasts. 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.120 Like for starters, the gold might be gone right, it 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.839 might be used for as collateral because we know that 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.520 the US has leased gold before. Now this isn't speculation, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.560 it's documented. The gold Reserve active of nineteen thirty four 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.520 put the government in full control of the nation's gold, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.400 and leasing agreements were later used to manipulate prices. So 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.800 unfamiliar now, The US Treasury claims two hundred and sixty 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.600 one million ounces of gold exist on paper, but never 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:26.400 discloses how much of that still physically exists inside Fort Knox. Now, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.880 in twenty eleven, Germany requested to repatriate just three hundred 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.560 metric tons of its gold from the Federal Reserve and 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.880 it took seven years to deliver. That's seven years to 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.320 get their own gold out. Why Well, because central banks 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.680 around the world use gold as collateral for loans and 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.600 currency swaps. So if Fort Knox's gold has been leased, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.720 it's been swapped, or it's been used as collateral, exposing 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.559 that could trigger a global crisis. Maybe another reason number 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.920 two the government fears setting a precedent. Now, if they 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.280 allow Fort Knox audit, then what's next the Federals serves 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.600 balance sheet. They would never want that. How about the 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.800 Pentagon's missing two point three trillion dollars, which, by the way, 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.200 coincidentally was announced missing by Donald Rumsfeld on September tenth, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.440 two thousand and one, the day before nine to eleven. Now, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.280 once people realize the US government has zero real oversight 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.080 over its most critical financial assets, the demand for transparency 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.280 won't stop. This is why even Trump st musk even 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.320 their administration they might even hesitate, because an audit could 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.240 open a Pandora's box on a scale that even they 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.840 can't control. Maybe another reason is everyone thinks Fort Knox 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.120 might be empty, but what if it's actually full. Now 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.600 everyone talks about the gold missing, But what if the 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.840 truth is even bigger? You see, in twenty eighteen, Russia 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.560 Central Bank added two hundred and seventy four point three 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.280 metric tons of gold, reaching approximately two one hundred and 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:56.280 thirteen tons. Meanwhile, China reported just ten metric tons. But 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.240 they've been the world's largest gold producer since two thousand 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.679 and seven, and annams believe that they hold significantly more 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.079 gold than is publicized or publicly disclosed. Some are saying 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.280 that they might have as much as thirty thousand tons. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.760 And so if China under reports its true reserves, so 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.760 what if the US does the same right a full 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.320 Fortknox Audit could reveal hundreds of billions more than the 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:24.320 official numbers. But that's major geopolitical leverage they don't want 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.319 the world to know about because the dollars backed by 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.560 nothing but trust. So if the US suddenly admits to 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.319 hoarding hundreds of billions in gold, that could shift the 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.960 global markets overnight. So the bottom line is, if the 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.199 gold is missing, the US government is never going to 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.280 admit it. If there's more than expected, they won't relal 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.200 it either because it gives them strategic leverage. And if 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.600 the gold is just sitting there untouched, then an audit 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.880 would be the easiest thing in the world to prove. However, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.199 like I said, there's actually maybe even more risk in 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.680 having the gold than if there's not. Now, I know 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.559 that sounds crazy. Now. Fort Knox is just one example 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.720 of how the US government operates in secrecy. In Tungstens another, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.760 the US is dependent on China for critical medals for 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.800 its defense industry. And the scariest part, most people have 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.719 no idea how fragile the system really is. So now 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.040 let's go even deeper. Why won't they audit Fort Knox. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.960 So let's break this down. The moment of a real 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.920 audit happening, the consequences are going to be massive, because 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.480 the gold either there or it's not right now, either way, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.120 it changes everything because if the gold is missing, we're 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.000 talking about an unprecedented financial scandal. The US government claims 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.360 it holds two hundred and fifty one million ounces, and 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.760 if that's a lie, then the trust in the entire 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.720 system collapses overnight. The entire global monetary system is built 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.480 on trust, and a missing Fort Knox reserve would shatter that. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.800 Foreign nations, investors, and even US citystems would lose confidence 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.680 in the US treasury. The dollars already facing devaluation, a 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.360 gold shortage would accelerate its decline. But again, it could 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.800 even be worse. If the gold is there, If they 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.120 hold more than was reported, it means the US is 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.880 hiding extra reserves for a geopolitic advantage, and that revelation 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.200 would show that, you know, we need to recalibrate all 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.480 the asset values. It would expose the gold manipulation schemes 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.280 of central banks. It would lead to lawsuits, would lead 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.560 to currency revaluations, policy shifts. So either way, the world 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.120 isn't ready for the truth, and that's why they won't 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.400 open the vault. If Fort Knox is empty, the US 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.600 economy is built on a lie. But here's the thing, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.640 even if the gold is there, you still have a 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.440 bigger problem. You're trusting a system that hides its reserves, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.880 It manipulates the data, refuses to be audited. And that 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.440 brings us to the final question, the one that makes 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.600 this whole mystery even crazier. What if bitcoin is the answer. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.720 Bitcoin doesn't need an audit. Bitcoin is the audit. Every transaction, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.800 every supply increase, every movement at Bitcoin. It's all on 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.680 the blockchain, visible to anybody at any time. Fort Knox, 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.480 no one's seen the gold in fifty years. Bitcoin, you 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.280 can very via the supply right now. So now you 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.760 have a choice. Keep trusting a system that refuses to 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.360 rub its reserves or move to one where verification happens 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.240 every ten minutes. Because here's the real takeaway. If your 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.720 wealth is tied to a system that requires trust, you've 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.640 already lost. For fifty years, the US government has refused 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.040 to audit Fort Knox. They tell you the gold is there, 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.120 but they won't prove it. No full inventory, no independent verification, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.920 no transparency. But that's the pattern, isn't it the dollar 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.000 they print it whenever they want gold, they refuse to 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.960 show it. Bitcoin fully transparent, audible, and outside their control. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.920 And that's why we're seeing the greatest shift in monetary history. 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.840 And governments still want you to trust them, but Bitcoin 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.560 says verify. So the real question is how much longer 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.560 are you willing to trust a system that refuses to 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.480 show its own reserves because the people running the system 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.440 they already know the answer. Let me know what you 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.360 think about this in the comments down below. Of course, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:49.719 that's always give me thumbs up if you like it. 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.800 If you don't, thumbs down, that's okay. Tell me why 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.720 in the comments either, why and that's what I got, 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.720 all right, to your success, I'm out.
