Everyone get the jab.

I get the gold-bug stuff. I subscribed to the Mises Institute and Lew Rockwell for a decade before Ron Paul ran for President.

I have a constitution collage made out of Ron Paul pictures in storage somewhere. I owned a lot of gold.

Times change. There is something that beats gold at everything.

I don't own a lot of gold, but I have some, just like I have some food, some guns, some ammo, a garden, water collection system, tools, a means of generating my own power, extra propane tanks, a wood stove, and at least two fall back positions. Nothing wrong with a little diversification.

Still not vaccinated. The satanist media isn’t going to trick me.

 

[rod]

At what?

Holding value

 

[wilberforce15]

Holding value

Gold lost 99.97% of its value relative to bitcoin in a mere 10 years. lol

 

[rod]

That's fine. Then the bitcoin will finally be as useless as gold.

Guns and friends are then the most important things to have.

If you're planning on a life without power, gold should be about 87th on the list of priorities.

Depending on how long life without power lasts I doubt friendship will rate very high. It will become survival of the fittest -- law of the jungle--eat or be eaten.

And if you don't have friends, you won't survive. You cannot provide for yourself long-term.

And now all those people have moved on to something shinier, more secure, more portable, cooler, and better.

I’ll take a mat finish AK or AR over shiny gold any day. You’re gonna need things to barter with too. Practical things, tools, ammo, clothes, food, water, etc. That will be the new currency.

You just like to argue - don't you? I don't see your friends sticking with you for long

 

[wilberforce15]

I have dozens of close extended family. Way better than friends

Having allies and helpers is more important than land, water, and guns.

I also see a whole lot of survivalist who have no idea how little they'd be able to do, even with all their bugout gear. Stuff is a lot harder than they expect. And there is more labor and difficulty than any one man, or any five men, can do. That's why clans and tribes existed.

Being confiscated by the government

Being confiscated by the government

Yep.

 

[Non sequitur]

Take a look at this mess.

Wait what? FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data

Freedom of Information Act requests are rarely speedy, but when a group of scientists asked the federal government to share the data it relied upon in licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, the response went beyond typical bureaucratic foot-dragging.

Being able to make or fix things will have you set pretty well.

If you are really serious about being an American and restoring constitutional republican government then Bitcoin just isn’t going to fly.

Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 10 - Powers Prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit;

make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;

pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No state has done any of that.

So what's the problem?

Gee, you must be ignoring the part where only gold and silver can be accepted as payment of debt. Not the current fiat money. Not Bitcoin. Game over, unless restoring a the republic is not what you want???

You can accept anything you want as payment of debt. That's what freedom looks like.

The constitution limits what payments they can FORCE you to accept. They can force you to accept certain forms. But you're allowed to accept anything.

If you want to accept chickens as a form of payment, you can.

Bitcoin is dominating without any state or federal endorsement or force. It's dominating simply because it's great and people like it. No constitutional issues. Nobody is forcing bitcoin on anyone.

Constitutionally, bitcoin is no different than everyone all of a sudden accepting chickens as payment. A free market has chosen that it likes to accept something. There is no conceivable objection.
