According to Crypto Rover, Senator Rand Paul has suggested that Elon Musk's DOGE should be used to audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox. This proposal could lead to significant market movements if the audit reveals discrepancies, potentially impacting Bitcoin purchases if the U.S. decides to bolster reserves in response to geopolitical pressures from China and Russia.

According to André Dragosch, there is a growing concern about the actual gold reserves available in vaults, suggesting an opportunity for digital alternatives like Bitcoin, which allow real-time verification of holdings. This perspective highlights potential shifts in trading strategies where investors may prioritize transparency and verifiability offered by digital assets over traditional commodities like gold (source: André Dragosch, Twitter).
