Fact: They've been hoarding gold for centuries.
Do you really think you buying a bullion of a couple hundred is a drop in the bucket to what they've been keeping away?
Consider this: if they have been hoarding gold, and only, say, 10% of gold is in circulation, then any gold seized from them will only drop the price of gold.
So is it a good investment?
Similarly with Bitcoin, only those who can afford massive crypto-generating server farms will have the lion's share of the coins in circulation. If all that Bitcoin is seized, along with other crypto-currencies, then it will only drop the value of the coins.
So is that a good investment?
For gold, I'd still say yes, but not because it has historically been presented solely as an investment security. It's actually a commodity. Gold is used in industry to make the most historically ground-breaking technology not yet seen (nanotechnology for instance). Gold is the key to futures in medicine, health, and information transfer.
If my research is correct, the land will be flowing with milk and honey; "liquid" silver and gold, I shit you not!
Once/if the market crashes, don't expect any good things for gold, silver, or especially cyrpto-currencies. You're gonna lose money on all, at least in the short-term, as the Cabal actors sell off all they have to try and jump ship.
Remember, you can't eat money...
As for the metals, however, I expect there is gonna be a massive dip once it is announced the "new" US government just seized quadrillions (an unimaginable amount) of dollars worth of gold and precious metals to restore its economic independence from interest-debt slave usury by insurgent forces.
There will be so much injected into commerce all at once that we will run right past a gold standard encouraging everyone to have gold and right back to the point where gold is worth less than a burger. The shake-up will be so great that it is impossible to know where the cards will first land.
After that dip, however, the price will adjust again because of the sheer volume of uses for gold. Silver and gold will be as common-place as copper, by my estimations. There's that much of it stowed away...
In that sense, you have to understand what that really means -- all civilizations WILL RUN ON METALS. Just as shipping runs on oil, world powers will run on precious metals. At that point, they will all rebound and literally become a standard bearer of what every purchasable item on Earth is actually worth.
In other words, everything will revolve around the value of the precious metals therein. Honestly, that's how it should be...
Oh, and every future medicine is going to revolve around precious metals. I could tell you how that's gonna work out exactly, but you won't believe me just yet and me telling you now will actually sabotage your future acceptance of it. It goes as far as to why they are harvesting blood of not only children but all blood in general.
It's that crazy.
So, invest wisely and consider what I've suggested. Do note that popular media has been pushing gold investment for a while, and I've got this sick feeling in my stomach that going all in on it might be feeding them in the short-term.
If you don't have the metal physically in your possession, I'd wager it is a setup to siphon assets for a last-ditch effort for Cabal management to cut ropes and jump ship.
I am not following your logic. If the new US Government moves to a gold/silver standard the gold/silver price that we have now will be reset to the new(floating) standard....
(plus it will not just be the US. If it was just the US everything else would collapse within a year. Why would anybody hold on to paper when they can have something real)
We can't compare what the price of gold is now compared to what it will be in a new system.
We have to compare the current US dollar price now with the new dollar/gold price then.
Sure there will be more gold on the market but the new demand will far outweigh the new supply. How many people around the world own any gold or silver. Percentage wise very little. If gold and silver were reintroduced into the banking system as a store of value there would be massive demand for the new much larger but still limited supply.
Commodities will be commodities now and then. Gold and silver are commodities but they have also been used has fairly portable stores of value.
Yes, you can't eat gold. You also can't reasonably store 100 of thousands of dollars of food as portable stores of value.
Trading will be trading value for value. Unless the Government blocks it.
Without government interference commodities will still be needed and traded.
I am a little wary of bitcoin. It may be the greatest idea ever or it may be the greatest scam ever.
If there is a dollar collapse Gold and silver will go much higher and stay much higher for a long time.
The bottom line. This is a confidence game. If confidence in paper money is lost it will be a new generation before trust in paper could make a comeback. (As far as I am concerned that is a good thing).
If gold goes up it is because all commodities are going up or trending up. If that is happened what is really happening is a loss of faith in paper money.
I just do not see how gold and silver will no longer be of interest to people wanting to protect what they have.
One other thing to consider. if a new government takes over and changes the monetary system based on God/silver/ commodities (anything physically) that would mean something big just happened. People are not going to be jumping up and down trying to sell what gold/silver they have now. Others will want to protect themselves as much as possible while they watch everything unfold.
What if I told you, pound for pound, you can convert Copper, Silver, and Gold from one to the other?
Does that change some things?
They hoard gold because it is the most efficient for volume and chemical stability.
There is a reason Lead is near impossible to obtain/find.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat my hat (I wear a big one) because it means there are a lot less of their lies I have to unravel to you guys in the future.
I still don't believe it 100%, but you don't have to believe in the actual value of an item to invest in it; it's all speculation anyway.
If I'm correct.. things are gonna get weird...
I would have to say I don't believe you can convert one metal into another metal.
The only thing that makes Gold and silver useful as currency is the fact that it is rare but not so rare that there is not enough to go around.
The more people there are the more gold/silver you need. Otherwise something else that is available will be used.
Gold and silver is not about investing. It is a medium of exchange. The dollar is the medium of exchange that we are forced to use.
It is not an honest medium of exchange because it is designed to lose value over time. If you sell a widget to somebody but they have nothing you are interested in buying you take the medium of exchange and with that you can buy something else from someone else. That medium of exchange should by design hold its value otherwise there is fraud in the mix. Of course there will be movement in the prices which will effect the medium of exchange. Those movements in price should not be a one way move.
Unfortunately, that's not purely the case.
Gold and silver are used in every smart phone and information technology device in the competitive market.
They are more of an industry item now than ever before.
Tying currency to gold and silver means tying our currency to the advancement of newer technologies; as more technological advancements are made, the value of gold and silver actually goes up.
That's not entirely bad, but it isn't sustainable. Rampant deflation can be just as bad as inflation. The ideal is a steady base for currency; one that doesn't change drastically with new discoveries.
Like I said gold/silver are commodities. They are rare enough to be used as mediums of exchange. If they become too rare a new medium of exchange will replace them. For 6000 years gold and silver have been "money". They have stood the test of time. The point is no one can just print more gold/silver or any other Commodity. They are hard assets that are expensive to produce. As a medium of exchange they job is to hold value between transactions. Back when gold was 20-30 dollars an ounce about 20 ounces would buy you a brand new car. Today about 20 ounces would buy you a brand new car.
While I don't know the number I would bet that x amount of bushels of corn would buy the same amount of gold as it did 100 years ago. Maybe 1000 years ago. Of course there is movement in price but on average everything is the same. A new car cost about $600 dollars 100 years ago. (20-30 ounces of gold at $20-$30 dollars an ounce)Today a new car is 30-40k. gold is about $1900 an ounce 20 ounces = about $38k All that changed is the value of the store of value dollar. That is The hidden tax.
