Your metals are awesome until the government makes it illegal to own them in order to take them from you. No need to scoff at me, it’s literally happened before, see 1933 EO 6102. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again but I wouldn’t bet on that.
I'm well aware of the history of confiscation, thank you. However, we are much, much more informed this time around. And we have protection, in the form of 2A, should anybody go door knocking. We know the government isn't putting our best interests first, whereas in '33, people may have made an argument for it. We know our Constitutional rights much better this time. We also know this current fake administration is all bark and no bite, so I'm not worried. If gov agents are door knocking looking for guns/gold, then I'd have to say the plan has failed. But it won't, because God wins, hence the reason for this board.
Regardless, you can make the same confiscation argument for crypto (or stocks) - the government would just severely limit the ways you can interact with your crypto, without physically taking your private keys. There is going to be counterparty risk any which way...just that metal has the least amount.
I agree completely about crypto. You can even take it a step further and easily imagine the government confiscating land, ammo, food rations, livestock, and on and on. It’s horrifying to think about. I think it’s all completely plausible and I unfortunately think too many people would let it happen without putting up much of a fight. I’ll start believing in 2A when people start actually exercising it when it matters. Until then I do not at all put it past “authorities” to completely ignore it and confiscate whatever they want when push comes to shove. They already selectively ignore several other of our rights and laws based on political biases.
The government only received gold from ignorant people who voluntarily turned it in. They didn't go around house to house searching for gold. Smart people kept their gold.
If they don't know what you have, and it's hidden, there's no way for them to get it.
