Bitcoin emerged as an alternative after 1971 gold decoupling, Gabor Gurbacs notes — Dollar gold link ended, Bitcoin emerged

Gabor Gurbacs recalls that 55 years ago, on August 15, 1971, the last connection between the U.S. dollar and gold was severed.

He states that the effects of this historic monetary shift continue to be seen globally, adding that Bitcoin now offers an alternative.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Gabor Gurbacs has previously critiqued hedge fund approaches, referencing the risks of lacking situational awareness in strategies such as those seen in the Citadel incident. He has also commended Tether for its early adoption of a gold strategy intended to support resilience and stability, a position maintained alongside broader market developments in Tether’s operations. These commentaries reflect his ongoing focus on monetary stability and alternative assets.
