just an innocent question, why fuck would sovereign state store its national treasure in another sovereign state's vaults, anybody?

One of the main purposes of having gold reserves is so that your government-in-exile has something to work with in the event of an invasion or a coup.

According to sources more reliable than "nsnbc.me", the German cabinet originally tried to do it the right way and turn $100 billion into Bitcoins and stick them in a multi-sig brain-wallet, but they got stuck in the verification queue.

lol, good one!

Considering the German government... they are so damn backwards, it would not happen before 2030. When all politicians from NOW are pensionated and in retirement.
