I don't think the gold argument is that people will use it as currency. Rather that it will take more pieces of currency to buy gold than it does now.

Actually gold is where his view probably comes the closest but here is a man bitching about hyper-inflation with the CPI at 3% or whwtever. OK so it is a lie and is really 5% or whatever one thinks. Is 5% hyperinflation? Hell is 8% hyperinflation. $5000 gold is likely fantasy land as well.

What a joke.

He will be most wrong about interest rates and that is where Any Xie who wrote a good column today will be wrong too. REAL interest rates will soon be rising even if nominal rates stay flat or fall.

People are using their homes to buy stuff on ebay; seems a lot easier even now to use gold.
