Gold has held value in all of human history. Even when the human population was a tiny fraction of what it is today. Nor is there a documented period in human history, when some type of monetary system did not exist.

It is fiat currencies that lose value. After the fall of Roman Empire, it’s coinage was widely used for hundreds of years. There is ample evidence that even its non silver or gold coins were used, because there were few if any alternatives. That makes a good case for saving copper pennies and nickels which can still be had for face value.

Few people have ever experienced barter. Exchanging a few things with friends and neighbors is not real barter. Try getting fair value or making change using eggs or vegetables. The biggest problem is finding something they want for something you need! Chances are most people will be looking for the same things and will not have anything you need. Swamp

Thanks Swamp! That is what is being forgotten here, gold, silver, copper and even paper are a medium of exchange! The guy you want to trade with might not need your potatoes, ammo, or grains. But he knows others that will take a recognized medium of exchange for what he needs, and so on and so forth!

I post articles such as this one to make people think! As others here, I read a lot about finances, state of our country etc. I do not and hopefully others do not take one persons article as gospel. I glean from these articles what I deem relevant and dismiss the rest as propaganda.
Over the past years many of the ideas of these authors have come to fruition, many have not.
Keep an open mind, and always think out of the box!

This quote pretty much say’s it all!

“Which Assets Are Most Likely To Survive The “System Re-Set”?
Your skills, knowledge and social capital will emerge unscathed on the other side of the re-set wormhole.
Your financial assets held in centrally controlled institutions will not.” – Charles Hugh Smith
