There is a video on youtube of a guy trying to give away a gold coin. First he tried to sell it for $20 and there were no takers. He couldn’t even give it away.
Most people don’t know what gold looks like.
And what about the people who invest in gold/silver certificates?! Do you think when the crap hits the fan they’ll just be able to walk up and say, “Can I have my gold now please?” I wonder if they think they’ll ever be able to walk into the grocery store and buy bread with gold? When the dollar ceases to have fiat value and you walk into a grocery store with gold you’re dead - you’ll be far out numbered. Gold is beautiful, but it only has value in a stable economy.
