How to get $12 billion of gold to Venezuela
You can't eat gold, all this rant on gold is so stupid, the monetary value is merely historical. In modern economy only counts the real application of resources and nothing else.
Nobody will ever introduce a new Gold standard, a resource is a bad idea for a currency. What if someone finds a gigantic Deposit or a way to cheaply produce Gold?
The additional value over the real industrial utilization is a bubble, nothing else.
