According to the head of the central bank, Russia is increasing its reserves with assets that the West cannot sanction.
Elvira Nabiullina, the governor of the Russian Central Bank, stated on Tuesday that Russia is increasing its foreign reserves using assets that are immune to Western sanctions.
The central bank has previously stated that it believes that cash-held foreign currency, gold, and the Chinese yuan are safe.

Gold is real money, store of value, alternative to cash

Schiff: Because I think they are also underestimating just how much inflation global central banks are going to create - in particular the Federal Reserve - and how much value the US dollar is going to lose against other fiat currencies, but in particular against real money, which is gold.
I don't even look at gold bullion as an investment. I look at it as a store of value - as an alternative to cash.
I think gold is going to make a much bigger rise against these fiat currencies. But as an investment, I think investors should be at gold mining stocks. Fed is not winning a long-term game. They continue to print money, devalue the currency, and continue to essentially run the American currency into the ground.
Peter responded saying that just because blockchain technology has value doesn't mean bitcoin itself does.

The "Golden Age" Study Launched

Trump-backed candidate for Florida's 1st Congressional District, Jimmy Patronis, is advocating for Florida to adopt gold and silver as legal tender.
This aligns perfectly with Donald Trump's recent statement that "the golden age of America has already begun."
Notably, Trump resides at his private Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, further underscoring the symbolic connection between his vision for a "golden age" and Florida's potential embrace of precious metals.
"Gold and silver have been trusted assets for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense to use them as legal tender.
I'm launching this study to determine the best way to get it done," Patronis stated in a press release this week.
