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?
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).
