I’ve always been strange.
I read a book by Irwin Schiff, and had a grasp of the fundamentals.
I did not and do not know anything about “finance” or “the market.”
I just know that silver and gold coins are worth more than slugs and pieces of paper.
I guess I was strange, too. I remember hearing adults using terms like debasement, and had no trouble understanding that money without anything of value behind it, must become worthless. Even a 9-year-old could grasp it. But not the head of the Federal Reserve.
