A person with a surplus of nasdaq claims on a theoretical paper IOUGold felt heavy and offered a huge bag of it at $3578 each. A bidder who wanted those theoretical paper IOUGold claims on thin air and bought the huge bag. All of this happened digitally and was not affected at all by the quantity of gold in the world. The computer at the Jewish Exchange that saw the volume, the price, the trade of Gold, did routine checks to make sure the Shabis confetti was right, and then changed the price of gold to $3578. The chart painted this new number and connected the dots, revealing what appears to be a vertical line.
