Behind the Central Bank’s Purchase of Gold – Currency War
A "war" without the smoke of gunpowder is about to begin. After half a year, the central bank has increased its gold holdings again. Currently, the central bank's gold reserves have reached 2,068 tons! The market value exceeds 200 billion US dollars! Why does the central bank buy gold? In fact, not only the People's Bank of China, but also the central banks of major countries in the world are increasing their holdings of gold! The reason behind this is also very clear, that is, it is out of distrust of the credit of paper currency, to be precise, distrust of the US dollar. This distrust is reflected in two aspects. First, the world has suffered from the dollar hegemony for a long time.

Historic Confrontation! China Increases Gold Reserves, U.S. Bets Big on Bitcoin
Recently, it seems that a historic confrontation is taking place in the global financial markets, namely the war between gold and Bitcoin.

Trump mentioned incorporating Bitcoin into the national reserves, but it should be noted that every member of his team holds Bitcoin, so whether this is for personal gain is known only to him.
