THE END OF GOLD:
Everyone talks about quantum computing and the challenges it could pose to #Bitcoin, leading to new parallel forms of protection and encryption.
But why is no one talking about Nuclear Transmutation?
Nuclear transmutation alters the atomic structure of an element to change it into another. Here's an overview:
Gold has an atomic number of 79, meaning it has 79 protons in its nucleus. To create gold, you need to adjust the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of another element to match that of gold.
This process typically involves bombarding an element with neutrons or protons in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator. For example:
Mercury (atomic number 80) can theoretically be turned into gold by removing one proton.
Platinum or lead could also serve as candidates for such processes.
The energy needed to overcome nuclear forces is immense, making the process highly inefficient.
The equipment and energy costs far exceed the value of the gold produced.
The process often produces unstable isotopes that decay into other elements, potentially posing safety risks.
While not economically viable for creating gold, nuclear transmutation has been used for scientific research and the production of valuable isotopes in medicine and industry.
In summary, while it is technically possible to create gold from other metals, it remains impractical and far too costly compared to traditional mining and refining methods, BUT it is already possible!
What will happen to the price and reserves of gold when we have a cost-effective energy source (which probably already exists but isn't of interest) to create gold out of thin air, in true FED style?
IT'S GOING TO ZERO!
