If you read my posts you’ll see I’ve consistently said the US could lose its reserve status, for well over 100 years I don’t know of countries that trade via barter, it may happen in the future but it’s highly unlikely IMO

Place your bets. We are in new territory for our lifetime. What does history teach us? (bad grammer I know)

Bartering grows in uncertain times. I am not saying it is one or the other.

Again, my major point is bartering is a relationship. Whether it is us as individuals or countries. Putin is going for relationships.

We are going to need people, not money in the bank in the coming difficult times.

Investing in people is not without risk...............

Once the dollar collapses people in the U.S. will barter. They will gradually use salt, sugar, whisky, and bullets as money until money develops the same way it did in history.
