Quite right. To me, it's another version of vaporware. Gold and silver are analogous to owning firearms. It's used as a last resort and you never tell anyone you carry it. It's ironic how fiat currency got started. It was from people telling they had gold and silver. You might ask, "How so?" The first bankers were people who stored gold for the wealthy under armed guard. The rule, possession is nine-tenths of the law. And property starts and ends with privacy.
