At this time of financial crisis, investors are buying gold and silver to preserve financial value. Now, I offer no financial advice, being the last person in the world competent to do so. But I am puzzled when the prepper community comes out and says, that when economic collapse occurs, they will be able to buy things with gold and silver coins. Mike Adams, for example, had a Situation Report a couple of days ago, where he proudly showed off his gold and silver collection, like one would, say, a new car. He said that if he needed medicine in a collapse situation, he could use one of his shiny silver coins to buy it.
Now, if things get to that level, who says that chemist shops will be open? And would the shop assistant really take a piece of silver? I can imagine her/him saying, how do I know this is not a deep fake? And worst yet is the “barter town” scenario, where one goes to a den of thieves, with one’s silver to buy needed medicine. Well, good luck with that one, as they will need it!
