What would happen if a group of pirates acquired all your nations gold and then lost it or destroyed it?

Nations have taken many loans like this throughout history and the monetary benefits to the economies of scuttled fortunes is glaringly apparent as we reflect.

A pirate that sunk a national treasure could double or triple the value of every commoners salary overnight!

Better yet, what if this person or group of people took their rightfully owned monetary asset and lost it in a superior modern way like chemically decomposing it by shooting it into the sun or some other place off Earth that people can't get to, even in 300 years!


How would this one investment in the future of the transportation industry effect the world economy?

Would we make it back?

Pirates invented submarines, modern Pirates may invent vehicles that don't exist yet, like vehicles that can submerge in super critical plasma.

Here is a recent loan to the future that was found without interest other than time, just two weeks ago;

The UNAUDITED gold supply of the US is currently worth about 600,000,000,000 (600 billions). We print that every few months to pay for things with fake money (not even backed by taxes).
So stealing all of our gold would have virtually no real affect on the US economy, assuming it's actually even there in Fort Knox anymore.

Note that this the OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT gold reserves by country. China under reports how much it really has. While both China and India have huge amounts of gold held by the general population for cultural reasons. (Those reasons being they don't trust their governments not to inflate their savings away.)

So, if 's only worth a small fraction of our debt, why does it matter. If elon bought it all and launched it all into a tracking tragejectory for voyager I it couldn't hurt the world economy right?

>Humans will step on mars by 2008!
Scientific advancement has stalled without financial incentive, either that or people are just scared, the only thing that will get people to leave earth will be gold floating away from it.
