The debt ceiling is part of the reason why SA is leaving the dollar standard.
Seriously: buy silver and gold.

“Seriously: buy silver and gold.”
I’m conflicted. If I’m holding gold & silver, how do I use it to make purchases, at stores? Slice-off a piece to buy food? If I take it to the store, will they have a scale to weigh-out the sliver of gold/silver for the goods I purchase? Do it in gold/silver coins? Gold/silver markets are up and down all the time, too.
Any thoughts? Am I overplaying this?
