"Gold wire would be a great medium in this type of environment."

I've thought that copper wire might do also.

A bit pricy. Valcambi does silver, also.

Right. Doesn’t matter if is Socialism or Communism. The elites eat high on the hog and the proletariat eat out of their garbage cans.

Well, you can scrape it off of computer motherboards or inkjet connections.

So those motherboards may be the ‘Mother Lode’?

My local Antique, 2nd Hand, Coin and Collectables shop has 1 oz. copper rounds for sale. Last week they were about $2.50, and the proprietor said Yes, people are buying them.

He was out of Krugerands and 1 oz. silver.

Bagged silver coins were 21 x face. He had them in 1/4 bag increments ($250 face).

“Dave Ramsey always said ‘you can’t eat gold.’”

That’s the only place Dave & I part ways, too. But I’ll bet you a doughnut that he has PMs somewhere in his portfolios or under the bed. ;)

Probably didn’t want to deal with the shills that come with the PM territory. He’s been successful enough without adding that to his plate, too.

I like the guy. His program WORKS. Retired in 2016 at age 56, DEBT FREE! And I ain’t never goin’ back! :)

I would say that a working computer is worth more than scrapings from IC board contacts. What is an empty ink cartridge worth? That is what you scrap.

agree, we used his program, and have been successful at it, and God has blessed us as well. one of the few areas where I part with him. Gold isnt for the emergency is to save wealth through the emergency.
