Well, for one thing, it's a rabid Goldbug writing on a site for rabid Goldbugs...that's in-and-of itself evidence of Moonbatism.
They're not just people advocating that people invest some of their money in Gold as a good investment.
Goldbugs basically sell a fantasy of imminent complete economic collapse, and have been for decades, and they've been wrong over and over again.
Fans of these sites imagine setting themselves up as warlords with all the Krugerrands they've got stashed under their beds after complete anarchy and social breakdown sweep the country after "fiat money" becomes worthless.

LOL!! You hit the nail on the head. And yet these goldbug sites will gladly take your fiat money in exchange for their gold at the going rate. What's up with that?

Gold is money and has been for thousands of years.
Paper dollars can be printed at the whim of the government.
It is not moonbatism to put a percentage of one's assets in gold.
