Gold is global.

There is now more gold in central bank reserves than US Treasuries. Is that things getting “worse” for other countries?

It’s not worse - it’s a change of structure. The dollar is still the primary reserve currency but gold is the primary reserve asset.

If gold went to $20,000 how would those sovereign reserves feel about that? For us, that would be a straight $5 trillion creation. Now the US can buy down debt. Debt to GDP would look groovier.
