The whole “China gold corridor” thing is not real sovereignty. It’s just another control system, run by states and big banks, pretending gold is now “real money” because a rulebook says so. Gold in vaults is still under someone’s thumb. It can be taken, blocked, or frozen, just like dollars, just like any permissioned asset. If it needs a committee (Basel) or a government to make it “valuable” or “safe,” it’s not outside the system, it’s part of the system. Calling a bunch of gold vaults an “analog blockchain” is marketing, not reality. It’s still a closed club, still full of middlemen, still based on trust and permission, not real freedom.

Both China’s “gold system” and America’s “Bitcoin for the West” story are just two sides of the same game: each empire making their own controlled version of money. Neither is real sovereignty. If you can’t truly own it, move it, or exit without permission, you don’t have freedom, you have a new leash.

Bottom line: If it can be seized, frozen, or needs permission, it’s not real sovereignty, no matter what label they put on it. Gold, BTC, any asset, if it’s captured by the system, it’s just another layer of control.

Don’t buy the hype. Sovereignty means no one can stop you, take it, or change the rules on you. Everything else is just a new kind of prison.
