🇺🇸 US Slaps Tariffs on 1-Kilo Gold Bars, Pushing Investors Straight Into Bitcoin’s Arms
In a move shaking both Wall Street and the bullion market, the US has officially imposed tariffs on one-kilo gold bars, according to the Financial Times.
Analysts say this is more than just trade policy, it’s a calculated financial chess move.
With gold now facing higher costs, the US government seems to be cornering traditional wealth holders, making hard money storage more expensive while crypto, especially Bitcoin, remains untaxed and borderless.
💡Comparison:
Gold: Heavy, taxable, and now tariffed.
BTC: Digital, portable, immune to tariffs and surging in adoption.
Critics argue this could be Washington’s subtle way of steering capital flows into the “digital dollar hedge” Bitcoin instead of traditional safe havens.
The message? If you want unshackled wealth protection… better start stacking sats.
