Pointless to "buy gold". All these banks and giants you speak off can do 10 times what any single person here can, in the blink of an eye. They don't even need access to physical gold. One phone call or email can get them any amount of paper gold via Comex probably at a deep discount too. No one cares that they're not even 1% backed by physical gold. That's how bad it's gotten for gold, and that's what futures could do to Bitcoin one day, who knows?
