Ken Ivory, a public figure and commentator, posted a series of tweets on March 22, 2026, addressing the role of gold in global financial markets and its use as a hedge against currency debasement.

In his first tweet at 02:05 UTC, Ivory referenced historical testimony before Congress and recent state-level policy developments: “#GoldIsMoney everything else is credit,” JP Morgan told Congress. Today, several States are facilitating your choice to use transactional gold/silver to preserve the purchasing power of your earnings & savings from accelerating federal debasement! https://t.co/W030Lc4E2k”.

Later that morning at 02:21 UTC, Ivory commented on consumer behavior in China during a period of market volatility: “One minute…and gold stores were cleaned out … in China

Sales started at 9 AM. By 9:01 shelves were empty.

Gold crashed in Western markets. Chinese citizens didn’t care. All gold is moving East. #GotGold https://t.co/lrwr5X5Bmn“.

In another post later that day at 20:53 UTC, Ivory discussed broader economic trends affecting asset classes and currency valuation: “#PrintSpendPretend coming to an endthere will be a rotation into physical assets (gold, silver, energy, etc.) & newly created money out of nothing will no longer be accepted for “real” assets produced with “real” labor and acquired with “real” existing capital. Currency does https://t.co/WIv4M5YH86”.

Several U.S. states have recently enacted or considered legislation enabling residents to use gold and silver as legal tender for transactions or tax payments. These moves reflect growing concerns among some policymakers about inflation and the long-term stability of fiat currencies amid ongoing monetary expansion by central banks.
