ROTFL, I read it just now!

Today, I made my first physical gold and silver purchase. 2003 Gold Eagle coins and Silver Eagle coins. Now I clearly understand why the Al Green Regime wants to discourage holding gold. Ever hold a Gold Eagle in your hand? Ever keep one in your pocket for a day? Now I understand what Merciless was saying when he felt so much pleasure holding his Krugerrands.
Gold is mesmerizing.
Why is that?
It’s a surreal feeling, holding one beautiful coin, worth $375, untarnishable, accepted as money anywhere in the world, knowing that payment is not dependent upon anyone else’s promise keeping.
Simply put, there was extraordinary pleasure knowing that at least a small portion of my net worth had been extracted from the Matrix. Now outside of the Paper Pyramid. Safe and protected against the antics of Bernake’s Printing Press. Immune to any kind of grind up from the Reliquifaction Blender.
I guarantee that if every citizen were allowed to carry a gold coin in their pocket for one day, feeling it, admiring it, dazzled by its 3000 year old history as Real Money, we would have a run on the dollar and a gold panic.
Now I clearly understand the term: Gold is Money. Once you hold the physical metal in your hand, and then observe the Speculative Globe obsessed with trading within the Paper Pyramid, it is very clear how totally absurd our financial system has become.<snip>
Let's see how "mesmerized" he is when the 'Dog drops 20% in 5 trading days, like it does from time to time!<G> Seriously though, I agree with his main points. In monetary terms, gold is the ultimate simple money form, diametrically opposed to all the pyramid-structured finance-Ponzi'd fiat schemes that are operating right now. And ultimately, it's holders will be rewarded. |
