While it's quite plausible (means, opportunity, motive) that the USA triggered the Nordstream pipe destruction, Hersh's case is still somewhat speculative. It relies on one anonymous source who appears to be all-knowing. The single source was both knowledgeable of the actual planning and also the legal statutes that would keep the operation secret from the Gang of Eight.
I admittedly struggle with the motive for the Russians to destroy Nordstream. And Joe Biden was quite clear that the US would not allow Nordstream to function. But Joe Biden says many things that are not founded in reality. My conclusion is that Hersh's report is a 'maybe'.
It's not very good reasoning to take the current fiat-denominated price of gold as proof that there is not enough gold for it to be used as money. IIRC Adam Smith himself pointed out that the value of gold will adjust itself when used as currency.
And anyway, we could just use silver, which is literally the definition of money in several languages, like French (argent) and Irish Gaelic (airgead). The supply keeps increasing.
Finally, most "money" is actually debt anyway. You don't have any money in the bank, ever. The bank just has a debt to you. The last bank to actually hold depositors' physical money in metal was the Amsterdam Wisselbank, I believe.
