The same people who tell you to get rid of your "fiat money" and buy gold... are the same people who are happy to take your fiat money and give you their gold.

Excellent point.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well, any asset or commodity, has its price, in fiat money. Unless you want to barter other goods and services to acquire gold, you will be paying in fiat money.

Heck, the guys who sell you the gold, may well take your fiat money and buy some other tangible assets, such as real estate,rather than holding onto fiat money.
