Both GATES and BEZOS live in "community property" states, meaning after the marriage, but for a pre nuptial, most property accumulated after the marriage, despite the actual "earner", are owned 50/50 by the couple. So Gates give "big nose" some stock, of which basically she already had a 50 % ownership in. To move assets in contemplation of hiding them allows for the creditor/judgement holder to trace those assets back before the nefarious action. Oh no this is a clue to buy bit coin, they are getting out of the stock market.... really? Bit Coin is "priced" by demand, it produces nothing, it has no intrinsic value. It is in fact a PONZI, it depends on demand to support its price. It is how Bernie Madoff did his scheme for so long, and yes, his early investors actually made a "profit", paid by the later investors. Now, tell me, if the market goes to shit, who is going to then run to buy bit coin in which to support its high price? Ok, who created Bit Coin? Who backs it? Don't know, neither do the others. Gold & Silver at least have some intrinsic value and it can be used in production. Tell me, you own a bar of gold? If things really get really messy, you cant eat it, drink it, or smoke it. The hyper inflation in Germany after WWI was met with investing in commodities, liquor, smokes, food... land.... if it reverts to the barter system in a collapse, get something you can barter with.

Buy a bunch of 'junk silver' dimes and quarters, then whatever they weigh multiply by 90% the price of silver. It's easier to trade small values of silver rather than having to give ounces. SIlver is silver.
It takes more room but it's good to have small pieces for liquidity. If you're going to barter who is likely to take your 100 oz or kilo bars? Will you cut off slices of that 1000oz COMEX bar?
"It is in fact a PONZI,"
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Bitcoin which you referenced is not Madoff. You're taking your fiat money and buying finite coins. It's like having a limited run of minted coins that cannot be counterfeited or duplicated. They took equipment and resources to mine which means there is labor behind obtaining them. Currency is just a medium to exchange that labor. The problem is government devalues that labor by printing too damn much of it and giving it to people that never invested their time or labor in obtaining it.
"it depends on demand to support its price."
That's not a ponzi scheme but that describes everything you listed. If no one wants liquor, land, or your rotted food then there is no demand. Madoff paid off investors with other investors money. He had to keep bringing in more investors or he would run out of money. That's a ponzi scheme.
Even r/SuperStonk is talking about the Gates Divorce and theorizing about Bill being shady.

I never understood the intrinsic value of gold or silver being based exclusively on supply. At the end of the day you can't eat gold or silver. You can't live on or under it like real estate.
Silver however has over a hundred industrial uses, another reason why they suppress the real price.
