I would have phrased the question as "Gold is a hedge against hyperinflation" and answered yes. I agree generically "inflation" is not specific...
I agree Cloud. I wasn't in agreement with all points either, but thought its was interesting and fun.
Lol not too far away, probably from the same "hoard". Like we said, relax man, they were forgeries and the guy was just making you feel bad. He...
Very true. The casts ones makes you feel nostalgic for the good old days when forgeries were easy to spot. Chinese coins now can be die struck,...
Lots of liars make up an even bigger lie to try to make you feel bad. They do that since you made them feel bad for calling them out. The anger...
