Speaker 1: What if I told you the gold that backs America's
Speaker 1: financial system might not even exist. Now, for decades, we've
Speaker 1: been told that Fort Knox holds two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of gold, which is the backbone of
Speaker 1: US credibility. But here's one big problem. No one's actually
Speaker 1: ever seen the gold in over fifty years. The US
Speaker 1: government refuses to audit it. And you know, they could
Speaker 1: shut down every conspiracy theory tomorrow, but they won't. And
Speaker 1: the last time they let people inside it was a
Speaker 1: stage pr stunt. No inventory, no waning, no serial numbers check,
Speaker 1: just politicians posing for some gold bars for the camera.
Speaker 1: So why won't they prove that it's there? And what
Speaker 1: happens if it's not? And it gets worse because even
Speaker 1: if the gold is there, it raises an even bigger question. Now,
Speaker 1: real quick, I'm Mark Moss. I've built and exited multiple
Speaker 1: tech companies, invested through several boom and bus cycles, and
Speaker 1: today I'm a partner at leading bitcoin venture fund and
Speaker 1: advisor to multiple public tech companies. Also write the Quantum
Speaker 1: Wave Investment Report or help investors navigate the biggest shifts
Speaker 1: in tech and money. Now I make these videos to
Speaker 1: share the insights that we're using so you can profit
Speaker 1: from these massive shifts before the rest of the world
Speaker 1: wakes up. And in this video, we're gonna go deep.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break down why Fort Knox hasn't been audited
Speaker 1: in half a century. We're gonna look at the real
Speaker 1: reasons why the government refuses to open the vault, and
Speaker 1: most importantly, what this means for your money and how
Speaker 1: you can protect yourself before it's too late. Because if
Speaker 1: history tells us anything, it's that when governments hide the truth,
Speaker 1: that people always pay the price. So let's go Fort Knox.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be the most secure vault on earth,
Speaker 1: holding over four five hundred and eighty metric tons of
Speaker 1: gold worth over two hundred and fifty billion. But here's
Speaker 1: the question, why hasn't anyone verified that gold in over
Speaker 1: fifty years? Now? The lost audit wasn't an audit at all.
Speaker 1: It was a pr stunt in nineteen seventy four the
Speaker 1: US Treasury. They brought in a hand pick group of
Speaker 1: politicians and journalists and they led them through a single vault.
Speaker 1: They took some pictures, they looked at some gold, but
Speaker 1: there's no inventory check. There was no wane, there was
Speaker 1: no purity testing. I mean they weren't even allowed to
Speaker 1: verify if those bars were actually even owned by the
Speaker 1: US government. And since then nothing, no audits, no independent verification,
Speaker 1: just vault seal checks, which means some government bureaucrat looks
Speaker 1: at the door and confirms it's still locked. And that's it.
Speaker 1: And here's where it gets even worse. Seven of those
Speaker 1: reports are missing. So let's get this straight. The gold
Speaker 1: allegedly exists, the government refuses to verify it. The official
Speaker 1: records are incomplete. So let's put this into perspective. I mean,
Speaker 1: the US government releases data on everything, right. We know
Speaker 1: how much debt they take on, we know how much
Speaker 1: they spend, we know where tax revenue comes from. But
Speaker 1: when it comes to verifying the physical gold that supposedly
Speaker 1: backs the US reserves nothing. Now, at any Wall Street
Speaker 1: firm a mistake like this, it would get people fired, investigated,
Speaker 1: possibly even put into jail. But when it's the US Treasury,
Speaker 1: no worries business as usual. Now, the obvious question is,
Speaker 1: if the goal is really there, why not prove it? Right?
Speaker 1: The government could shut down every conspiracy theory overnight but
Speaker 1: for fifty years they haven't. And so the only answer
Speaker 1: that we've gotten is some variation of trust me bro.
Speaker 1: And as we all know, when someone in power tells
Speaker 1: you to just trust them, it usually means that you shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Now that's exactly why calls for an audit are getting
Speaker 1: louder and louder. And this time it's different because for
Speaker 1: decades past administration's ignored it. But now with Trump, and
Speaker 1: now with Elon Musk and Dodgs already auditing the government
Speaker 1: books all over the place, Fort Knox audit is suddenly
Speaker 1: back on the table. Now, if anyone could actually push
Speaker 1: for a Fort Knox audit, it probably would be the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, backed by outsiders like Scott Descent and yes,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. So let's break it down. Scott Bissent, he's
Speaker 1: Trump's new economic advisor. He ran a twenty billion dollar
Speaker 1: hedge fund. It was the chief investment officer for George Soros.
Speaker 1: That means he spent decades inside global financial war rooms
Speaker 1: where every single number gets scrutinized. You think a guy
Speaker 1: like that wouldn't want to know if America's actually got
Speaker 1: the real gold. And then there's Elon Musk. Mus has
Speaker 1: already called out the lack of transparency in Fort Knox.
Speaker 1: When the topic of an audit went viral on X,
Speaker 1: Musk replied, quote, surely it's reviewed at least once every year. No,
Speaker 1: and that's Elon Musk. He's one of the richest men
Speaker 1: on the planet, assuming that Fort Knox's checked annually, only
Speaker 1: to find out that government hasn't done a real audit
Speaker 1: since before he was born. And finally there's Trump. Now,
Speaker 1: if there's one thing Trump understands, it's optics. So pushing
Speaker 1: for a Fort Knox audit isn't just about gold. It's
Speaker 1: about exposing what past administration's ignored, what they covered up,
Speaker 1: what they failed to investigate. Now, politically it's a perfect
Speaker 1: populist move. You know they lied to you for fifty years.
Speaker 1: All get to the truth. Now, The last major Fort
Speaker 1: Knox audit happened under Nixon, right before the US abandoned
Speaker 1: the gold standard in nineteen seventy one. Could that be
Speaker 1: a coincidence? But here's the real question, would they actually
Speaker 1: do it or is the truth too dangerous to reveal?
Speaker 1: Because if the gold isn't there, or worse, if it's
Speaker 1: been secretly sold or collateralized. We're talking about a scandal
Speaker 1: that could shake global markets. And that's exactly why this
Speaker 1: next part matters. You see, if Trump, the Cent and Musk,
Speaker 1: if they actually pushed for the audit, could they get
Speaker 1: it done? Maybe? But would they want to? That's actually
Speaker 1: the real question, because an audit isn't just about proving
Speaker 1: the gold is there. It's about what happens if it's not.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. An audit of Fort Knox could
Speaker 1: be done. I don't know, probably a week. The US
Speaker 1: government has spent over seven trillion dollars on wars in
Speaker 1: the last two decades. But somehow we're supposed to believe
Speaker 1: that auditing a pile of gold bars is too expensive. Now,
Speaker 1: the truth is, there are some real reasons they want
Speaker 1: audit for it, and some of them maybe are even
Speaker 1: worse than any conspiracy theory. A small business owner, are
Speaker 1: you buried in all types of work keeping you from
Speaker 1: the real thing that makes you money? Well that's where

Speaker 1: Like for starters, the gold might be gone right, it
Speaker 1: might be used for as collateral because we know that
Speaker 1: the US has leased gold before. Now this isn't speculation,
Speaker 1: it's documented. The gold Reserve active of nineteen thirty four
Speaker 1: put the government in full control of the nation's gold,
Speaker 1: and leasing agreements were later used to manipulate prices. So
Speaker 1: unfamiliar now, The US Treasury claims two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: one million ounces of gold exist on paper, but never
Speaker 1: discloses how much of that still physically exists inside Fort Knox. Now,
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, Germany requested to repatriate just three hundred
Speaker 1: metric tons of its gold from the Federal Reserve and
Speaker 1: it took seven years to deliver. That's seven years to
Speaker 1: get their own gold out. Why Well, because central banks
Speaker 1: around the world use gold as collateral for loans and
Speaker 1: currency swaps. So if Fort Knox's gold has been leased,
Speaker 1: it's been swapped, or it's been used as collateral, exposing
Speaker 1: that could trigger a global crisis. Maybe another reason number
Speaker 1: two the government fears setting a precedent. Now, if they
Speaker 1: allow Fort Knox audit, then what's next the Federals serves
Speaker 1: balance sheet. They would never want that. How about the
Speaker 1: Pentagon's missing two point three trillion dollars, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: coincidentally was announced missing by Donald Rumsfeld on September tenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, the day before nine to eleven. Now,
Speaker 1: once people realize the US government has zero real oversight
Speaker 1: over its most critical financial assets, the demand for transparency
Speaker 1: won't stop. This is why even Trump st musk even
Speaker 1: their administration they might even hesitate, because an audit could
Speaker 1: open a Pandora's box on a scale that even they
Speaker 1: can't control. Maybe another reason is everyone thinks Fort Knox
Speaker 1: might be empty, but what if it's actually full. Now
Speaker 1: everyone talks about the gold missing, But what if the
Speaker 1: truth is even bigger? You see, in twenty eighteen, Russia
Speaker 1: Central Bank added two hundred and seventy four point three
Speaker 1: metric tons of gold, reaching approximately two one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirteen tons. Meanwhile, China reported just ten metric tons. But
Speaker 1: they've been the world's largest gold producer since two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven, and annams believe that they hold significantly more
Speaker 1: gold than is publicized or publicly disclosed. Some are saying
Speaker 1: that they might have as much as thirty thousand tons.
Speaker 1: And so if China under reports its true reserves, so
Speaker 1: what if the US does the same right a full
Speaker 1: Fortknox Audit could reveal hundreds of billions more than the
Speaker 1: official numbers. But that's major geopolitical leverage they don't want
Speaker 1: the world to know about because the dollars backed by
Speaker 1: nothing but trust. So if the US suddenly admits to
Speaker 1: hoarding hundreds of billions in gold, that could shift the
Speaker 1: global markets overnight. So the bottom line is, if the
Speaker 1: gold is missing, the US government is never going to
Speaker 1: admit it. If there's more than expected, they won't relal
Speaker 1: it either because it gives them strategic leverage. And if
Speaker 1: the gold is just sitting there untouched, then an audit
Speaker 1: would be the easiest thing in the world to prove. However,
Speaker 1: like I said, there's actually maybe even more risk in
Speaker 1: having the gold than if there's not. Now, I know
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy. Now. Fort Knox is just one example
Speaker 1: of how the US government operates in secrecy. In Tungstens another,
Speaker 1: the US is dependent on China for critical medals for
Speaker 1: its defense industry. And the scariest part, most people have
Speaker 1: no idea how fragile the system really is. So now
Speaker 1: let's go even deeper. Why won't they audit Fort Knox.
Speaker 1: So let's break this down. The moment of a real
Speaker 1: audit happening, the consequences are going to be massive, because
Speaker 1: the gold either there or it's not right now, either way,
Speaker 1: it changes everything because if the gold is missing, we're
Speaker 1: talking about an unprecedented financial scandal. The US government claims
Speaker 1: it holds two hundred and fifty one million ounces, and
Speaker 1: if that's a lie, then the trust in the entire
Speaker 1: system collapses overnight. The entire global monetary system is built
Speaker 1: on trust, and a missing Fort Knox reserve would shatter that.
Speaker 1: Foreign nations, investors, and even US citystems would lose confidence
Speaker 1: in the US treasury. The dollars already facing devaluation, a
Speaker 1: gold shortage would accelerate its decline. But again, it could
Speaker 1: even be worse. If the gold is there, If they
Speaker 1: hold more than was reported, it means the US is
Speaker 1: hiding extra reserves for a geopolitic advantage, and that revelation
Speaker 1: would show that, you know, we need to recalibrate all
Speaker 1: the asset values. It would expose the gold manipulation schemes
Speaker 1: of central banks. It would lead to lawsuits, would lead
Speaker 1: to currency revaluations, policy shifts. So either way, the world
Speaker 1: isn't ready for the truth, and that's why they won't
Speaker 1: open the vault. If Fort Knox is empty, the US
Speaker 1: economy is built on a lie. But here's the thing,
Speaker 1: even if the gold is there, you still have a
Speaker 1: bigger problem. You're trusting a system that hides its reserves,
Speaker 1: It manipulates the data, refuses to be audited. And that
Speaker 1: brings us to the final question, the one that makes
Speaker 1: this whole mystery even crazier. What if bitcoin is the answer.
Speaker 1: Bitcoin doesn't need an audit. Bitcoin is the audit. Every transaction,
Speaker 1: every supply increase, every movement at Bitcoin. It's all on
Speaker 1: the blockchain, visible to anybody at any time. Fort Knox,
Speaker 1: no one's seen the gold in fifty years. Bitcoin, you
Speaker 1: can very via the supply right now. So now you
Speaker 1: have a choice. Keep trusting a system that refuses to
Speaker 1: rub its reserves or move to one where verification happens
Speaker 1: every ten minutes. Because here's the real takeaway. If your
Speaker 1: wealth is tied to a system that requires trust, you've
Speaker 1: already lost. For fifty years, the US government has refused
Speaker 1: to audit Fort Knox. They tell you the gold is there,
Speaker 1: but they won't prove it. No full inventory, no independent verification,
Speaker 1: no transparency. But that's the pattern, isn't it the dollar
Speaker 1: they print it whenever they want gold, they refuse to
Speaker 1: show it. Bitcoin fully transparent, audible, and outside their control.
Speaker 1: And that's why we're seeing the greatest shift in monetary history.
Speaker 1: And governments still want you to trust them, but Bitcoin
Speaker 1: says verify. So the real question is how much longer
Speaker 1: are you willing to trust a system that refuses to
Speaker 1: show its own reserves because the people running the system
Speaker 1: they already know the answer. Let me know what you
Speaker 1: think about this in the comments down below. Of course,
Speaker 1: that's always give me thumbs up if you like it.
Speaker 1: If you don't, thumbs down, that's okay. Tell me why
Speaker 1: in the comments either, why and that's what I got,
Speaker 1: all right, to your success, I'm out.
