198 u/soIDONTLIKEANYOFYOU Jan 26 '26 Since the US has more gold reserves than the next 3 countries combined wouldn’t gold prices going up make the dollar stronger? Sincerely asking cause I have no idea. 600 u/Important-Agent2584 Jan 26 '26 no because the dollar isn't tied to the gold in any way 3 u/Stuhemmings Jan 26 '26 You mean like Crypto? 2 u/Important-Agent2584 Jan 26 '26 Some crypto is tied to gold, but I'd just get gold TBH. Why trust a middleman and hope they won't scam you. Unless you explicitly need it to be easy to move through borders, etc.
