    The Bank of England note though still keeps the old promise to pay the bearer in gold coins even though it doesn't. If we did that it would be a fraud but when the Bank of England does it, it is overlooked. Idris Elba should have asked the chief cashier Sarah John what it is that she actually promises to pay the bearer with.

    And narrated to me from (Imaam) Maalik (رحمه الله) that he had heard that Sukuk (claim cheques, receipts, IOU's) were given to people in the time of (the Umayyad Caliph) Marwan Ibn al-Hakam (رحمه الله) for the produce of the market at al-Jar. People bought and sold the Sukuk among themselves before they took delivery of the goods. Zayd bin Thabit and (Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنهما) one of the Companion's of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Marwan Ibn al-Hakam and said: "Marwan! Do you make Riba' (Usury) Halal (lawful)?" He said: "I seek refuge with Allah! What is that?" He said: "These Suku which people buy and sell before they take delivery of the goods." Marwan therefore sent a guard to follow them and to take them from people's hands and return them to their owners. [Muwatta Malik » Business Transactions - كتاب البيوع » Hadith # 1336]

This amount of money is a drop in the ocean, it's not even 1 month's worth of the UK's entire GDP and it's been 80 years of rebuilding everything that got completely destroyed during WW2. Can you not comprehend that people putting in work actually generates wealth? You know, there have been millions of Brits all toiling away for decades and centuries building what we have today. How dare you diminish the truth.

    OK here’s the thing … That door is over 70 years old. It’s out dated. It’s also Manual and is a Make that doesn’t have a very good reputation. I didn’t see any improvements either. So there must be a reason for that. Probably a vault within a vault. But again didn’t see any signs of that either. So the only other reason must be that the Vault is extremely deep underground. You cant tunnel , There is no quick in and out smash and Grab kind of robbery. But i did notice one very obvious thing that they haven’t thought of . There are Two ways of getting in . The 1st one is so overwhelmingly obvious that i have gone through this video for over a hour and yep they definitely haven’t seen it. 2nd One is to do with the Ceilings im sure there’s room above to crawl around and if thats true they need to alter it. There is a third but i think this mistake is just a one off due to his fame. Where is the guard escorts. And why is she not wearing a Tag and motion camera ?. That tracks where you are within the building. If this is not a one off and is the norm then the Bank of England need urgent action to update to modern technology and surveillance and Tracking . Just saying. For the 1st way in well here’s a hint .. If you cant get through the Door go around it.

According to the Bible, specifically in the book of Exodus (Exodus 25:10-22), the Ark was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold both inside and out. It also had a gold molding around it and featured two gold cherubim on its cover, known as the Mercy Seat.

    Der Witz bei den ganzen Goldlagern der Zentralbanken ist doch folgender: Deren Gesamtwert wird ja immer anhand des aktuellen Goldpreises beziffert und dieser ergibt sich ja als Marktpreis (bei Verkauf der Briefkurs) von Angebot und Nachfrage. Wenn nun aber irgendeine Zentralbank auf die Idee kommen würde ihren Gesamtbestand zu veräußern, dann würde aufgrund des enorm gestiegenen Angebots der Marktpreise stark sinken, d. h. die letzte veräußerte Unze des Gesamtbestandes erzielt ja nicht mehr den gleichen Marktpreis wie die erste veräußerte Unze! Also kann man den Gegenwert des Gesamtbestandes nicht bestimmen in dem man einfach diesen insgesamt zum Marktpreis bewertet. Und wenn mehrere Zentralbanken auf die Idee kommen würden ihre Gesamtbestände zur gleichen Zeit zu veräußern, wären die ganzen Goldbestände nix wert, weil es einfach nicht genügend Nachfrage geben würde, die Assets wären quasi illiquide..... wer soll auch soviel Gold kaufen, damit kann man schließlich nicht viel anfangen 😂 Also alles nur Blingbling 😂

    It is strange to form Gold v Bitcoin tribalism, when those who gravitate towards them fundamentally share the exact same principles. It is for the very same reason that someone buys gold, that another will buy Bitcoin. This suggestion that you have to be able to touch something in order to have value IS nonsense. You cannot ’touch’ the most valuable thing in the entire world. And do you know what that is? It’s called the Internet. The Internet introduced the revolution in how we exchange information. It is now ubiquitous in our daily lives. Bitcoin is what introduces the revolution in how we store and share our wealth. You can touch and feel and pen, a piece of paper and a stamp. All tangible. But as it’ll take 2 weeks to send it across the world instead, you send an email. It delivers in seconds. Replace email with wealth and welcome to Bitcoin.

    That was about half of their gold and it was worth about 10 times what it was worth when they acquired it. The remaining half has increased in value another 10 times. By selling that gold, they created a more liquid market with more participants which created more daily demand which had compounded. So it was actually a genius move because gold was no longer needed to back the currency. They collected about £2 billion but they hold about £20 billion worth now. Which isn't much on a national scale. The annual budget of the UK is approximately 60 times larger than that. So, you're talking about less than a week's tax receipts. A tiny fraction of what Brexit has cost them.
