Bernanke was almost stuttering on some of his answers. Quite funny.

I reckon I would put my gold in Moscow rather than Berlin, New York or London

Interesting article with lots of neat pics.
Where is the Russian Federation’s Gold Stored?
Despite a few vault photos ops, there is little verifiable information on where Russia stores its vast gold hoard.

Heh
that was my opinion 3 days before Russia kicked off its Special Military Operation in Ukraine
And subsequently amplified by everything I am aware of that has happened since.
The 'west' appears to be in decline and desperate to take down the perceived threats to its belief in its US hegemony.
Russia seems to offer a future based on family values and fairness in regard to trade with other countries.
They switched on the 'hate Putin' and switched off the 'fear Rona get your jab' literally overnight.

... are you asking:
... to reply to your post a) quoting a post mentioning Central Banks + Gold and b) using in the reply-text "#tradition"?
... or to reply to any post mentioning Central Banks + Gold, using "#tradition"?
Yes.
X tracks the number of times a hashtag is posted (anywhere). When a hashtag gets posted a lot (within a window of time), it can appear on the "trending topics" list. Even when not on the trending topics list, people can search for a hashtag to find posts where it has been used. So posting it everywhere it's appropriate helps people find that related content (once they become aware that the hashtag is being used for that purpose). Posting it as a reply to my original post is always welcome too - you can do both for extra effect.
