I’m looking forward to the day that our electronic banking system crashes and the gimmedats can’t buy anything. If you live or die off of a $1400 check from Uncle Sam, you should be taking serious stock of your life situation.

That crash is coming. Expect it in 2 steps. Step one is to convert the USD balance in your accounts to "digital" form that you can only use on "approved" purchases and can be turned off at will. Stage 2, the USD ceases to be the world reserve currency and your balance has similar purchasing power to Zimbabwe currency.

The digital currency approach ensues you can't extract the value of your account into tangible currency beyond the control of the bank. Expect "negative interest rates" stealing the value of that digital balance...just because they can.

Physical silver or gold is an option now. Alternatively, some value moved to Bitcoin. Food is also a good asset to have in hand. Money in the bank will remain there very soon.
