Cyber Scribe

The BoT is suddenly very worried about whether my digital gold actually exists. I thought the whole point of the 21st century was trading imaginary things for real anxiety.

Somchai the Skeptic

BoT: 'We want to protect retail investors.' Retail investors: 'Please, we’ve survived the crypto crash and 40-cent egg price hikes, a little gold volatility is just spicy savings.'

Tech-Savvy Auntie

They want to tighten KYC for online gold? Jokes on them, I still keep the physical stuff in a Milo tin under the bed. Regulations can't find what the ghosts are guarding.

Macro Mike

Nothing says 'The economy is doing great' like the central bank rushing to build a fence around the only asset people actually trust right now. Peak stabilization strategy.

Speculative Sprite

BoT and SEC teaming up is like the two strictest teachers in school joining forces to make sure nobody has any fun during recess. Let me buy my 0.001 grams of gold in peace!

The Realist

Standardizing gold shops is fine, but ensuring 'direct links to physical reserves' sounds like they're just realizing some of these apps are just fancy Excel spreadsheets with a yellow filter.
