TJ's argument is that gold will become the one true money again, rather than just that it will go up as US$ goes down. One is trite, the other is conjecture. And, IMHO worth it. See present day events to be somewhat avoided. > Worth it if there's no better alternative, which there is. Digging Moais obviously seemed like a good idea at the time and no doubt profitable for some. It doesn't mean it was in fact the best thing to do and judging by their long term failure, it wasn't. They should have invented CDMA and nuclear weapons instead.
