Dropping the market would also be a control mechanism.
Plebs lose fiat they had to work to create, must work to produce more (or comply w/ gov mandates).
Banks lose fake printed money they got from the dealer.
Have dealer print some more for them.
Government can take your metal... Or make it very risky to move. Hell it's that way now. Say you need to run from the commies. It's going to be very uncomfortable with all that gold up your ass in an airport scanner. Meanwhile I will be in the other line with my money safely stored ... In my mind.
Really though we should all have both crypto and metals. And land if you can get it.
