they have $20 billion in gold... and their GDP is $400b ... 20:1 ratio
the US supposedly has $300b in gold and our GDP is about $15 trillion... a 50:1 ratio
venezuela is in better shape going into such a currency war
Venezuela's export is oil
Oil is sold on the world market in US dollars
Listen to the gold peddlers or listen to your on common sense ...
Gold is not a viable alternative here..but as always YMMV
