they are selling it for fiat. they arent buying it so im good.
@frank yea i guess so but the point of owning gold and silver isnt to have any gains on it like you do with other investments. its a true safe haven now that the swiss just went fiat. gold/silver is for wealth preservation. so what about "clipping" thats why you WEIGH THE COINS WHEN ITS USED and go by that price. hell if the coin used to weigh 31.1 grams and lost a few grams you go based on the new weight. we gotta worry about the gubbermint counterfeiting now right? thats the new way of "clipping" and they are doing a freaking awesome job on that. gold and silver is anti gubbermint and banks cause they cant manipulate it the way they can with fiat. there will be less malinvestments in the economy with it cause money is much scarcer. gubbermints wont have deficits cause they are restricted to their revenues.
what makes gold and silver money is that they have all the characteristics of money. fiat can be printed into oblivion, gold and silver cannot cause you cant print it out of thin air.
war? we are heading towards a global war now over FIAT MONEY AND DEBT. you cant say that dollars are money because they are debt. word to the federal reserve "note" on top of it. is it redeemable for anything from the originator of that note? NOPE.
edit: oh and why does banks and gubbermints all over the world HATE gold? why do they have to manipulate the price of it if fiat money is money? why they gotta invade libya to stop the gold dinar from happening?
My comment about coin clipping was in reference to gold being a circulated currency.� Every single person and place of business is supposed to carry around a scale to weigh their money?� Even if that happened what are you gonna do with a coin that is a fraction of a gram short?� Tear a sleeve off the shirt they are trying to purchase, take a few slices out of their loaf of bread?� Just think logically man.� All this stuff you are talking about is not feasible.� I know you want to believe but use your melon.
You cannot walk into any place of business and pay in gold or silver so they do not have all the characteristics of money.� Any natural resource cannot be "printed into thin air", that does not make it money.� As I said, you could just as easily be talking about diamonds or plastic or wood or copper.� We are only talking about gold and silver because that is what is being marketed to the public and because gold used to back our currency when there was enough of it in existence to do so.
I am not saying dollars are money any more than gold or anything else people agree upon has value, is money.� I don't get why people all think gold has some intrinsic worth.� It's all perceived value.� It's worth comes from the same place the dollars worth comes from.��
Don't get me wrong I agree with you that the economy is messed up and the the system of money is flawed but I don't think you realize how horrible the conditions in this country would be if government spending was restricted to the amount of gold they had in their possession.� If wealth in this country was restricted to the amount of gold we were able to put into circulation peoples lives would be devastated.� Peoples lives may very well end up being devastated anyway but this will just speed up the process and if you ask me I think thats what they are aiming for.� You all are falling right into a trap.� Calling for your own demise.

who said i have to convert it back into a currency to be able to trade it? why cant i just skip that step and go to trading silver for good or gold for a car? you measure it by WEIGHT just like our founding fathers original definition of the dollar was. It WAS a UNIT OF WEIGHT and you use that to trade for food which is measured in WEIGHT.Originally Posted by andycrazn
