Interesting post. Substitute BTC for Gold, and you might be on to something.
Gold is not an investment. It’s an insurance policy. Is it a good one? I don’t know. What I do know, is that for the average person (obviously my view) it’s a better option than anything else that exists. And has been for 1000s of years.
Viewing gold as an investment, particularly over short time frames, is an incorrect approach.
I’ll leave it at this: if you research the Roman Empire you will discover that when a man’s daughter got married, he was expected to buy and wear a new custom woolen Toga, draped over his everyday Tunic, to mark the solemnity of the occasion. The cost of that new woolen Toga, 1oz of gold. For a ‘working class’ Roman citizen, that might be a year or two of labor to save enough money to accumulate an Oz of gold.
Today, a moderately priced custom suit costs 1oz of gold.
Priced in Oz of gold, the median price of a house today, is the same as it was in 1975.
I’ll take my chances with the shiny metal, which has tracked the destruction of purchasing power of fiat currencies for 1000s of years.
I think when the shit hits the fan - we will enter a barter system based on individual assessments and not a gov. approved value system. We saw this in the great manufactured depression 0f 1929 and again in the created banking/housing crisis in 2008. A dentist I know exchanged his service for a gun and other things he needed. When my Dad was growing up during the depression, you could get medical care for a chicken - there was little money where he lived and stores accepted trade. If you were unable to pay but good for it was noted on the due bill or tab which could be paid off with cash or commodities or services. We can't anticipate all possible scenarios - but humans have been around longer than the bankers - their plan was written hundreds of years ago and adjusted where needed. It was and is guided by Satan and installed with fear and control- ours has to be guided by God and carried out with faith, wisdom, and discernment. Discerning truth from lies and the intent of what we are being told is vital to survival. We may not have the answers - but unless we ask the questions and try to understand things instead of just accepting what we are told or things we find it convenient to believe, we will continue to be complicit in their plan, IMHO.
It is not banking that is the problem. It is usury. And those who sponsor usury are the descendents of Cain, so I would say that they are as old as each other.
Could you please give a brief and simple definition of usury and a brief and simple explanation of what the alternative is? I see people make statements like yours and I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what kind of monetary system would be a viable alternative. Just if you have a minute. Thank you
Hi Brandy, think Ebenezer Scrooge. Money changers. Loan sharks. I like to help folks understand more about how the world works. So watch this amazing course by a guy who knew too much about this.
"Connecting the Dots (FULL) - How the Financial World Will Collapse (1991 Lecture at USC) documentary.
Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out when I can.
I’m not defending predatory lending, or all the derivatives that banks were using to create value out of thin air. But, at the same time, if you don’t have interest, how does that work? How do people get ahold of borrowed money without crashing the system if they default? Do you have a few sentences to explain an alternative? Just really curious. And I will check out the link soon but I would love a simple explanation in the meantime.
Hi Brandy, good question! My observation and experience is my first credit card, JC Penney, was obtained in 1976. Prior to that, stores had "lay away plans." Also, there were Savings Stamps our families saved and you saved up enough to buy stuff. Plus, banks were kinder back then; they offered high interest rates on savings accounts. I think we're all headed for the Middle Ages. The bad news is feudalism. But the good news is guilds and Christendom. Back then, going into debt was only for the aristocrats, maybe? The banksters, the money men, are very shrewd. I read somewhere that they planned to make borrowing money so easy for us Lilliputians so they could, and have, reap the money from the debt. They made home ownership and college education loans very, very accessible.
Also, I read a quote somewhere that they designed their financial magic to be too complex for the average person to grasp -- so true in my case, until the last several years.
oh boy, wanna piss off a Normie? send 'em The Great Taking video! a long time friend once told me: "don't ever send me ridiculous conspiracy shit (his word) like that again!" (sound of one head exploding)
That’s what I thought about the definition of usury but I don’t understand any sort of practical application of borrowing with no interest. Who takes the risk of having people not pay them back?
If I were in a position to loan out money, and I gave 100 people $100,000, and three of the borrowers defaulted, how would I recover the loss?
Or same scenario with government loaning out money or bankers… I don’t see a realistic way to loan out money, without interest, that wouldn’t destroy the person or entity that is making the loans.
Btw, I’m not saying the current system that we have is good (private profits and public losses).
The issue is that banks who are giving loans to today are taking no risk because they are not actuality lending or parting with anything. It's fiat currency - promises to pay backed by nothing. Or put differently when we borrow money from them, their gold values do not go down.
Unlike you or me who when we loan money, we lose the ability to use that money temporarily and we carry the risk that it will never be repaid. It's a totally different scenario.
I see what you are saying. However, fiat currency is a different topic than usury. I’m aware of many of the downsides of fiat currency. Just wondering about the term usury specifically and what system is an alternative to usury.
Gold is not the best "investment" you can make. You pointed out many of the reasons. If you want to own gold and you believe things are really going to go "wild weasel", you should buy cans of tuna.
1. You can eat it.
2. You can trade it.
3. You can still buy it for about $2 per can.
4. It'll store for five years (actually almost indefinitely, as long as the seal is intact and the can isn't bulging).
During the height of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, two cans of tuna traded for 1 oz. of gold. Are you better off spending $2000 for one ounce of gold or $4 for two cans of tuna?
The only thing I'll say for gold and silver is that they can be used for many practical applications such as renewable energy systems, EMF shielding, and building back society. That's long term.
Short term: knowledge is the best commodity, and why we started our Substack - to help others understand how they can heal using Nature, without supplements.
Sadly, the USDA is going after personal gardens. A friend informed me they paid her family a visit regarding her personal garden. Her family attempted to downplay the personal garden, however sometime later, their garden was visited again, this time by drones in the night (they thought ahead and setup cameras over their garden). Apparently, the garden was sprayed during the visit and killed their lot. They were pissed because they'd invested in new fertilizers and mulch, to support the planting of their garden...Nothing is safe or sacred.
This is horribly sad! I’ve heard similar stories, which just confirms the evil of these beings attempting to destroy all of our lives. Greenhouses work well for those who can afford to buy or build one of their property has the space. Send your friend my very best of encouragement in this fight.
With 80% of the earth's gold currently held by global banks, elites' home safes and private investors, it’s safe to say that the governments around the world can do whatever they want, whenever they want, regarding the value and utility of the precious metal. I’ve been buying goods cashless online and offline for 8 years and love it. I keep some real cash on hand in case the internet goes down or some other disaster hits society, because you know, it’s gonna happen. You’ve definitely given me a lot to think about after reading this post.
Rake and shovel may be of more value, plus of course the ability and knowledge of their usefulness 😂. The metals? If you can hang on to them-Store of value historically- barter value- what ever is decided on between parties in a transaction.
Really great article, "A". Some thoughts ensue: Along with gold, silver, and all precious metals, diamonds are a major part of this racket. The Jewish De beers family owns the diamond mines and has ironclad control over the diamond trade. Most people would be stunned to learn that diamonds are so plentiful on earth you can pave roads with them. They should cost a tiny fraction of their purported value but the De beers clan ruthlessly limits the available supply of them keeping their price artificially high. Everything is fixed and a racket. The problem "they" have with eliminating cash is that there are millions if not billions of dollars in cash stolen and grafted via bribes by corrupt pols, bureaucrats and business executives, squirreled away in various hiding places. What happens if the Controllers make cash worthless or demand it be turned in to exchange for digital currency? It would be chaos unprecedented. As far as having gold and silver coins to use to buy essentials in case of currency collapse and the dollar becoming worthless, just imagine traipsing to the store (their shelves would be empty anyway) to purchase food or whatever else you need, with howling, starving, insane mobs of featherless bipeds everywhere. In short order you'll be torn to pieces as they fight over your flesh and coins. Adolph Hitler and his National Socialist Reich refused to let Germany be, "Crucified on a cross of gold." They issued their own interest free currency commensurate with Germany's industrial, technological, and productive capacity and that nation prospered immediately surpassing all others on earth. They also employed barter with other countries (for example, tons of coal for bushels of wheat) bypassing the usurious Jew banksters. Those are the primary reasons the Tribe unleashed all the other nations of the world to destroy them. Just one week with no internet and the economy loses 50$ billion dollars. You can extrapolate from there.
The amazing thing is that Americans have never figured out that profit is a figment of the imagination. It's an imaginary store of worth. You can never work hard enough or long enough to satisfy the greedy, which could be you too. Scrooge McDuck can count his gold all day, but he can't eat it, any more than Bill Gates can eat that farmland dirt. In the end, it's the food you put in your mouth, and a little toilet paper that make civilization perfect, but not in the city, because that is where they have you under full control. Insanity, thy name is human.
Getting rid of cash does seem to be the next step in implementing a complete control system (CBDCs), but I don’t see how we can keep that from happening. If a person holds all their investments in cash (as opposed to gold for instance), which is the simple deductive answer to preventing them from implementing CBDCs (?), that cash will be worth less every single day that a person holds it because the government and the rich bankers have decided that no one is going to stop them from printing cash at a rate that drives the value of the currency into the ground so they keep doing it.
There was a time when voters kind of cared about the national deficit and balanced budgets but I don’t hear anything of substance about it anymore, as we suffer ten percent inflation. During Covid, everyone lost their minds and the economy was destroyed and money was just pumped out into a smashed system (and people were just so simplistically and ignorantly happy to cash their government check). As far as I can tell, there aren’t any serious proposed solutions by candidates and the two leading candidates are the two who smashed the system. (We live in literal Clown World)
Gold may not prevent the loss of cash, or be a good investment, and maybe it is what “they” want people to move to, but is there anything that can turn around the coming cashless society? The power and ability to stop society from going cashless seems to be in the hands of the people who want to get rid of it.
Btw, someone paid my husband’s business in gold and silver coin for a service, official receipt given and all. I can see that it’s not practical for small purchases but it worked fine for that particular transaction. Just a side note.
There are a few movements encouraging people to use more cash but it seems like a token effort. Like, you need to have your investments elsewhere and just ‘get a little cash out of the bank on occasion to pay for groceries on Fridays’ - kind of a thing. That hardly seems like it has power to stem the tide of currency devaluation.
I think we are in the middle of a financial reset that we most likely can’t stop, whether we like it or not. I wish it wasn’t so but not enough people understand economics (myself included) or have the power to influence them in a meaningful way. The people with the power can kind of do whatever they want. Ron Paul was right. The fed should have been audited and appropriate action should have been taken.
Ron Paul had a bill to audit the fed. He had a couple of co sponsors who dropped out. I guess they got the message. The bill never went anywhere. Not allowing an audit tells you how evil and powerful the fed is and who really runs the show.
Agree. If we had been wise as a country, we would have acted before it was too late. The situation we are in is dire and I don’t think we have the power to stop it, as much as it pains me to type that.
Basically a sizable majority of US citizens would need to rise up and demand accountability for the financial system that our government and the fede are controlling. But that seems about as close to a zero percent chance of happening as we can get. We all should have joined the occupy Wall Street protests, or voted for Ron Paul, or demanded a fed audit of all the other politicians in office or something.
I was a precinct captain in the repuke primary in 2012. There were only four of us. Three of us voted for Ron Paul. The fourth voted for pierre delecto mittens romney. Mittens won the primary. That was the end of my political career. Ron Paul is the only pol I ever donated to. TINVOWOOT
Paul would have destroyed the fed. It’s so sad he never got the chance.
Romney has/had issues but, he actually would have at least balanced the budget. His main skill set was turning companies around financially. I really believe that he would have done some good to the finances of the country, which is probably why he didn’t get elected. Instead we got a president who instantly passed two-stimulus-packages-with-zero-accountability and the author of the Affordable Care Act, which is such an ironic name for a bill that caused the current near collapse of the medical system. Maybe I see Romney with too rosy of glasses but he wasn’t a drunken sailor spender like the last 4 presidents.
I don’t think any politicians can make it in if they actually plan to reform anything of value. Corporate interests own the media so it’s game-over for any serious candidate.
from what I remember romney was a vulture capitalist, acquiring companies in trouble and stripping them of assets. I watched one of the debates between romney and soetoro. The differences were hardly worth noting. Both well within the overton window. Of course soetoro had to conceal what he really was and is. A communist infiltrator whose intention is to destroy traditional and legacy America. Of course most politicians are just corrupt grifters and thieves, focused on acquiring power and wealth. But some, like soetoro and dozens of others are driven by greed and ideology. They hate America.
National politicians can't do what they promise because the bureaucracy and the deep state actually run the government. If the bureaucracy and the three letter agencies don't like a particular program, guess what happens?
I find it astonishing that people still believe this is a government of , by and for the people.
I agree generally. The national politicians are basically props only at this point. How else would it be possible to have the two worst imaginable candidates representing both major parties for the upcoming election?
I think Trump is actually the chosen candidate because he quells the problem of having republicans rebel when they roll out CBDCs. He did that for the COVID lockdowns, mask mandates, pcr testing, school closures, etc.
The CIA and DOD definitely seem to actually be running the show at this point. Maybe the FBI too. Who knows who else. It’s not like they are going to tell us names but it’s pretty obvious. Sasha has outlined some of the actual names but it’s hard to remember them because they aren’t the people doing interviews, like Fauci and Walenski.
And those government agencies have teamed up with industries like corporate media and the pharmaceutical industrial complex, so it’s basically a fascist system that we live under now. Nice.
I don’t really have a problem with what Romney was doing with his venture capitalism. To me, as long as the agreements/sales of failing companies are voluntary, it’s not morally wrong. To me, it’s like buying a house that’s condemned and flipping it or tearing it down and developing. It’s sad when someone looses an old house if they didn’t want to, but if they sell it, or if they loose it to a bank because they didn’t pay the rent, it is what it is.
Are there scenarios where the venture capitalist is morally wrong or breaking a law? I’m sure there are. But I’m not against people and businesses entering into voluntary agreements and then doing what they need to in order to make businesses or properties viable/inhabitable. I still think he would have done some good things but we will never know for sure, and that’s probably quite intentional.
I think people still believe our country is run by a government that is by and for the people because the entities in charge are masters at propaganda. It was there before Covid, but wow. On display during the “pandemic”. But people who watch or listen to corporate media are under a spell. And they choose to keep listening/watching so they will just keep going along with whatever they are told. It’s sad but I don’t see a viable solution. Maybe I’m just missing it. I keep looking.
Hope your next installment tells us HOW Roosevelt et al confiscated the precious metals of Americans. Did people have to hide their gold and silver jewelry? Was there a limit allowed or what? Did anyone challenge it? Were jewelers put out of business? What was the argument for confiscation anyway? Like, will the 'authorities' be resurrecting those same arguments soon?
Still found this info depressing and guess one should just put their extra money into vodka or something. It sure seems the Overlords will continue to heap it on us until we'll wait in line impatiently for their euthanasia program.
A bit like look at how many got injected in the past 3 or so yrs, they were fearful and fully trusted the BS that the propaganda machine and govt spewed 24/7 non stop. All the potential of losing their jobs etc and some did. They turned their gold in because it was illegal not to do so. All they need is a few they make an example of and broadcast it and the rest will fall into line.
If your metals are in a depository, they're not yours. There are many uses for metals to include the use of silver in medicinal products. I'm not a physician, but I have heard it said that one of the reasons silver was removed from our coinage is due to its antibacterial properties--purportedly a benefit just as one handles it during the course of the day. That makes sense to me given the EVIL-DOERS' agenda--in that the hand sanitizers that are forever being promoted destroy both good and bad bacteria and are loaded with who knows whatever else!
Bottom line for me is that gold and silver are biblical money going back thousands of years. The price has been manipulated just like the stock market and everything else of value. My faith is in God and the Word, not man. The psyop is encouraging people to invest in precious metals that are being held by SOMEONE ELSE!
Yep paying the franchise dreebs at the petrol station with gold is not going to work. Catherine Austin Fitts recommends it, but how that works in real life... In WW2 France people got their gold made into wedding rings to serve as black market currency, but I agree, just get useful stuff. Something that works without electricity, like a hammer and an anvil !!
I was wondering about gold being a scam? Only because the large amount of advertisement for purchasing gold. They say there is very little gold and if that so why haven’t the rich already bought it all up? That’s what came through my mind when I’ve been seeing marketing campaigns for gold.
Gold only has value If you can trade it for something you need. When food becomes scarce no one is going to trade their food for your gold and starve themselves in the process.
If you want to use metals for everyday barter, I suggest you look into pre-1964 dimes and quarters - they're still around. You can buy some if so inclined. I realise you're not, but it would make more sense than an ounce of silver for a loaf of bread.
Metals have been used as money for a long time. They're mentioned in the bible (quite often). I'm pretty sure Rothschilds, et al weren't controlling them back then. (Though it would be a great conspiracy theory!)
Interesting post. Substitute BTC for Gold, and you might be on to something.

Viewing gold as an investment, particularly over short time frames, is an incorrect approach.
I’ll leave it at this: if you research the Roman Empire you will discover that when a man’s daughter got married, he was expected to buy and wear a new custom woolen Toga, draped over his everyday Tunic, to mark the solemnity of the occasion. The cost of that new woolen Toga, 1oz of gold. For a ‘working class’ Roman citizen, that might be a year or two of labor to save enough money to accumulate an Oz of gold.
Today, a moderately priced custom suit costs 1oz of gold.
Priced in Oz of gold, the median price of a house today, is the same as it was in 1975.
I’ll take my chances with the shiny metal, which has tracked the destruction of purchasing power of fiat currencies for 1000s of years.

Buy bullets and beans instead of gold to keep your family safe in case of an emergency.
Alcohol also.
Agreed.
Buy both!
You can’t eat or drink precious metals. Period! The best investment for me is a garden and a fully stocked pantry and apothecary.
Sadly, the USDA is going after personal gardens. A friend informed me they paid her family a visit regarding her personal garden. Her family attempted to downplay the personal garden, however sometime later, their garden was visited again, this time by drones in the night (they thought ahead and setup cameras over their garden).

Gold may not prevent the loss of cash, or be a good investment, and maybe it is what “they” want people to move to, but is there anything that can turn around the coming cashless society? The power and ability to stop society from going cashless seems to be in the hands of the people who want to get rid of it.
Btw, someone paid my husband’s business in gold and silver coin for a service, official receipt given and all. I can see that it’s not practical for small purchases but it worked fine for that particular transaction. Just a side note.
There are a few movements encouraging people to use more cash but it seems like a token effort. Like, you need to have your investments elsewhere and just ‘get a little cash out of the bank on occasion to pay for groceries on Fridays’ - kind of a thing. That hardly seems like it has power to stem the tide of currency devaluation.
I think we are in the middle of a financial reset that we most likely can’t stop, whether we like it or not. I wish it wasn’t so but not enough people understand economics (myself included) or have the power to influence them in a meaningful way. The people with the power can kind of do whatever they want. Ron Paul was right. The fed should have been audited and appropriate action should have been taken.
Ron Paul had a bill to audit the fed. He had a couple of co sponsors who dropped out. I guess they got the message. The bill never went anywhere. Not allowing an audit tells you how evil and powerful the fed is and who really runs the show.
Agree. If we had been wise as a country, we would have acted before it was too late. The situation we are in is dire and I don’t think we have the power to stop it, as much as it pains me to type that.
Basically a sizable majority of US citizens would need to rise up and demand accountability for the financial system that our government and the fede are controlling. But that seems about as close to a zero percent chance of happening as we can get. We all should have joined the occupy Wall Street protests, or voted for Ron Paul, or demanded a fed audit of all the other politicians in office or something.
I was a precinct captain in the repuke primary in 2012. There were only four of us. Three of us voted for Ron Paul. The fourth voted for pierre delecto mittens romney. Mittens won the primary. That was the end of my political career. Ron Paul is the only pol I ever donated to. TINVOWOOT
Paul would have destroyed the fed. It’s so sad he never got the chance.
Romney has/had issues but, he actually would have at least balanced the budget. His main skill set was turning companies around financially. I really believe that he would have done some good to the finances of the country, which is probably why he didn’t get elected. Instead we got a president who instantly passed two-stimulus-packages-with-zero-accountability and the author of the Affordable Care Act, which is such an ironic name for a bill that caused the current near collapse of the medical system. Maybe I see Romney with too rosy of glasses but he wasn’t a drunken sailor spender like the last 4 presidents.
I don’t think any politicians can make it in if they actually plan to reform anything of value. Corporate interests own the media so it’s game-over for any serious candidate.
from what I remember romney was a vulture capitalist, acquiring companies in trouble and stripping them of assets. I watched one of the debates between romney and soetoro. The differences were hardly worth noting. Both well within the overton window. Of course soetoro had to conceal what he really was and is. A communist infiltrator whose intention is to destroy traditional and legacy America. Of course most politicians are just corrupt grifters and thieves, focused on acquiring power and wealth. But some, like soetoro and dozens of others are driven by greed and ideology. They hate America.
National politicians can't do what they promise because the bureaucracy and the deep state actually run the government. If the bureaucracy and the three letter agencies don't like a particular program, guess what happens?
I find it astonishing that people still believe this is a government of , by and for the people.
I agree generally. The national politicians are basically props only at this point. How else would it be possible to have the two worst imaginable candidates representing both major parties for the upcoming election?
I think Trump is actually the chosen candidate because he quells the problem of having republicans rebel when they roll out CBDCs. He did that for the COVID lockdowns, mask mandates, pcr testing, school closures, etc.
The CIA and DOD definitely seem to actually be running the show at this point. Maybe the FBI too. Who knows who else. It’s not like they are going to tell us names but it’s pretty obvious. Sasha has outlined some of the actual names but it’s hard to remember them because they aren’t the people doing interviews, like Fauci and Walenski.
And those government agencies have teamed up with industries like corporate media and the pharmaceutical industrial complex, so it’s basically a fascist system that we live under now. Nice.
I don’t really have a problem with what Romney was doing with his venture capitalism. To me, as long as the agreements/sales of failing companies are voluntary, it’s not morally wrong. To me, it’s like buying a house that’s condemned and flipping it or tearing it down and developing. It’s sad when someone looses an old house if they didn’t want to, but if they sell it, or if they loose it to a bank because they didn’t pay the rent, it is what it is.
Are there scenarios where the venture capitalist is morally wrong or breaking a law? I’m sure there are. But I’m not against people and businesses entering into voluntary agreements and then doing what they need to in order to make businesses or properties viable/inhabitable. I still think he would have done some good things but we will never know for sure, and that’s probably quite intentional.
I think people still believe our country is run by a government that is by and for the people because the entities in charge are masters at propaganda. It was there before Covid, but wow. On display during the “pandemic”. But people who watch or listen to corporate media are under a spell. And they choose to keep listening/watching so they will just keep going along with whatever they are told. It’s sad but I don’t see a viable solution. Maybe I’m just missing it. I keep looking.
Hope your next installment tells us HOW Roosevelt et al confiscated the precious metals of Americans. Did people have to hide their gold and silver jewelry? Was there a limit allowed or what? Did anyone challenge it? Were jewelers put out of business? What was the argument for confiscation anyway? Like, will the 'authorities' be resurrecting those same arguments soon?
Still found this info depressing and guess one should just put their extra money into vodka or something. It sure seems the Overlords will continue to heap it on us until we'll wait in line impatiently for their euthanasia program.
from what I read a lot of people ignored the order. Only one person was charged. Of course there was a lot more trust in government in those days.
People actually turned their gold in! They actually trusted their government! 😂🤣😂
A bit like look at how many got injected in the past 3 or so yrs, they were fearful and fully trusted the BS that the propaganda machine and govt spewed 24/7 non stop. All the potential of losing their jobs etc and some did. They turned their gold in because it was illegal not to do so. All they need is a few they make an example of and broadcast it and the rest will fall into line.
I’m not “the rest”…and you aren’t either 😉!
If your metals are in a depository, they're not yours. There are many uses for metals to include the use of silver in medicinal products. I'm not a physician, but I have heard it said that one of the reasons silver was removed from our coinage is due to its antibacterial properties--purportedly a benefit just as one handles it during the course of the day. That makes sense to me given the EVIL-DOERS' agenda--in that the hand sanitizers that are forever being promoted destroy both good and bad bacteria and are loaded with who knows whatever else!
Bottom line for me is that gold and silver are biblical money going back thousands of years. The price has been manipulated just like the stock market and everything else of value. My faith is in God and the Word, not man. The psyop is encouraging people to invest in precious metals that are being held by SOMEONE ELSE!
If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.
Yep paying the franchise dreebs at the petrol station with gold is not going to work. Catherine Austin Fitts recommends it, but how that works in real life... In WW2 France people got their gold made into wedding rings to serve as black market currency, but I agree, just get useful stuff. Something that works without electricity, like a hammer and an anvil !!
I was wondering about gold being a scam? Only because the large amount of advertisement for purchasing gold. They say there is very little gold and if that so why haven’t the rich already bought it all up? That’s what came through my mind when I’ve been seeing marketing campaigns for gold.
Gold only has value If you can trade it for something you need. When food becomes scarce no one is going to trade their food for your gold and starve themselves in the process.
We have a few cattle. I would accept PMs for beef. Actually, I would prefer that now--rather than the paper the powers-that-be tell us has worth. 🤷
If you want to use metals for everyday barter, I suggest you look into pre-1964 dimes and quarters - they're still around. You can buy some if so inclined. I realise you're not, but it would make more sense than an ounce of silver for a loaf of bread.
Metals have been used as money for a long time. They're mentioned in the bible (quite often). I'm pretty sure Rothschilds, et al weren't controlling them back then. (Though it would be a great conspiracy theory!)
Cheers.
