Don’t mind if I do
Hmmm IDK gold is so soft you could literally scrape it off in chunks
edit;
It’s about 1.5 x 1.5 foot cube, hollow, and has a security detail. Heavy AF I bet
It has its own security detail it’s to raise awareness of crypto
There would be some dude trying to shave that bitch down like the parmesan cheese at Olive Garden.
And I bet there are quite a few people trying to figure out how to steal it.
I’d be getting a picture of myself on top of it in the nude… for reasons.
it is only 400 lbs
the cube itself is 90’s tv small. and not that shiny. 3/10 ~ would use to stop washing machine from wobbling.
It was there for maybe 15 hours of one day, and well-guarded. https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-02-03-pure-gold-cube-worth-117-million-is-sitting-in-central-park/
Ollie get my hammer.
>> “a cube comprised of 410 pounds of pure 24-karat gold sculpted by German artist Niclas Castello”
At what point is it no longer sculpted and just an object placed on the ground? Does it really take “sculpting” to make a gold cube?

Looks like someone tried to erect The Tower of Pimps but ran out of ingots.
Hi, can I pls enquire about hiring your largest Sikorsky helicopter. Hmmmm yes just about an hour.
I see Bezos bought a new trash compactor and is just littering at this point.
It’s what some people (not me) call “art”.
That photo is a little misleading. A 400 pound cube of gold would be less than 9″ on an edge. If it were 4 feet on an edge (it looks bigger than that in the photo), that cube would weigh > 76,000 pounds.
Angle grinder cut that bitch up get rich over night, nevermind catalytic converters, that’s the real lick
Neat flaunt your wealth while people don’t have homes or 1 in 8 Americans are food insecure.
Can someone go hold a banana beside it? Thanks
A gilt covered box.

It’s much smaller then the pic makes it look
Wait, so a cube is a “Sculpture”. I don’t get modern art.
Y’all crazy these folks don’t know the power and ingenuity of a crack head
a pure gold cube worth $11.7m is now in my home. i have stolen it and made it my coffee table
Oh. Well. Don’t mind if i do.
NFT the bitch.
FWIW, that thing must be hollow. A solid pure gold cube of that size would be worth *much* more.
A piece of trivia. An estimate for all the gold there is on this planet is about 171,300 tonnes. This is both what was mined, and what is still out there in the ground. That’d be a cube about 20.7 meters on each side (about 68 feet). This would comfortably fit under Eiffel Tower.
So this is what the cash for gold commercials were really about
I had heard that Trump shit a gold brick once he heard they got ahold of his shredded documents, but I didn’t think it was to be taken literally.
If only I had a Cargobob in real life.
