In the “new economy”, bullets and beans will beat gold.

But after you have enough beans and bullets, you can invest your remaining wealth in gold.

Also, if you have to move your wealth, it’s hard to tote around $10,000 (or $100,000) in ammo or food without a big truck. That amount ($100,000) of gold weighs less than a gallon of milk, and can fit in the pockets of your cargo pants.

I have posted on another thread my reasoning for gold not being allowed to reach these heights and the proletariat won't be allowed to own it. In 1933, FDR issued an executive order banning American citizens from “hording” gold. Then he cranked the printing presses up to warp speed. In thought crime and newspeak, you will be a bad person hoarding gold and therefore a criminal. Gold may be allowed to double, but I doubt it will be allowed to be privately owned passed that. For the children, don't you know.

Google FDR and gold and you can get the wording of the executive order. Gold hoarders were "bad" people, not people trying to save their savings.

Fascism makes bad people from regular folks and makes internationalism the goal. That way you are hurting the whole world population if you have gold. The same if you breathe out carbon dioxide or drive an SUV, ect.

I've had the discussion before about the 2nd Amendment. IMHO, the "right" of gold possession will be easier to get rid of than guns, because it isn't specifically mentioned in the Constitution. I also think it would be difficult to "make change" for an ounce of gold if it's worth $10,000. Even if a loaf of bread was $1000.
