Today, snakes still have ‘vestigial legs’…. more evidence it really happened.

Foreigners could still demand gold for Dollars until that date. The US wasn't able to fulfill that promise due to exploding debt caused by the Vietnam war. The French tried and sent warships to New York in order to pick up their gold. If other countries followed suit, the gold reserves would have depleted completely. When Nixon looked in the empty vault he knew the gig was up. As long as you can actually get the physical gold from the party with the printer, then the system can't just run amok, because there is always someone who will call you on your bulls#$%.

But don’t take our word for it. SoftBank’s Vision Fund is leading a $1 billion funding round in logistics startup Flexport at a very sexy valuation of $3.2 billion, per Forbes. What Flexport does: Uses software—and physical assets like warehouses—to help companies transport goods.
