I do believe there is a ton of opportunities for business owners to begin accepting precious metals in exchange for goods and services.
If we start with light rules such as only 10% of our monthly business can be conducted with metals currency to allow for a smoother transition we can scale that to any number we would like at any time. I mean, essentially in the beginning shop owners will likely be holding on to their payments until we can get details about transferring to large dealers for recirculation for other forms of metals currency.
Essentially if you are paid in copper, or silver, hold enough until you can transfer to gold, or trade in. It adds another spoke in the wheel, but this is our spoke.. when one of their spokes breaks, it will be replaced with one of ours, until we rebuild this wheel with nothing but patriot products and services. We desperately need our own service similar to the internet, but not this internet... a place not owned by liberal censoring corps! We need a place we can advertise our goods and services to each other from even across the country! Create our own trucking fleets to transport metals based goods..
What’s stopping us? Why have we went this long without reverting to the previous system?
When the economy crashes it will be metal based and maybe some trade.
I have 150+ 'handles' (1.75s) of rum. I will own the SE United States... try and drink Silver WTSHTF.
Payment in copper sheets and tubing. Distilling is part of my shtf plan.
Fair valuation and divisibility are a concern. I do like junk silver for that reason... you know it's legit .900 silver and its denomination isn't so massive as to require excessive (non-fiat) change.
Think paying for a gallon of milk with a 1oz gold coin... here's your 6 10-oz silver bars, 5 silver joecoins and a handful of mercury dimes. Have fun carrying that home.
I love the idea of the Valcambi combibar (size of a credit card with 1g squares you break off), but holy crap is that an expensive convenience.
IMO, Gold- and silver-backed crypto with a physical delivery option could be an excellent intermediate step (until we get back to minting real metals).
With Gold and Silver the problem will always be "Fake or Real"?
forget companies
the only way we go to metals is with a total collapse of the global fiat slavery scheme
after the chaos settles down we can start trading locally with people in our area
that is the only way metals become money again
Right now at this minute in the economic timeline it would be very difficult to get anybody to pay with say a 1 OZ silver round. Spot price is around 25.50 but I know it's gonna be worth a lot more soon. I am gonna sit on mine til they are worth about 90 bucks each.
I bought mine “in case shit” I’m going to try and obtain 50 oz of silver, with possibly an oz of gold by the gram.
I want bars/rounds that are easy to use as currency. Worst case scenario is my grandkids get a “non cool” stocking stuffer one of these days

Enter in a hand shake agreement in good faith that goods and services will be provided in trade for precious metals. Heck even take a video of the parties involved stating the agreement and shaking on it if you want to be able to take someone to court. Pretty sure no taxes because it's a trade/barter. You aren't paying cash. So it should not count as income. No clue how the hired workers insurance would cover a trade like that tho.
I have a business that involves metals, all sorts, and it would be all right if there were a valid currency. But I see so many fakes. You can't imagine all the ways there are to try and pass off non-gold or non-silver. It would be assays all day. We will still have to have a token, like bills, that is backed by the money, and a process for exchanging tokens and metal.
