Gold IS money though. I can redeem my gold in cash at anytime by selling it on the open market at the rate of $1 = 1/2000 troy oz of gold. If JM...
Not necessarily “only true measure of value” but rather the fact that gold is portable and nearly indestructible. It’s true they could use land...

I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of bullionism. The idea that wealth is defined by the amount of precious metals owned. Do I believe...
Omg ancient coins as jewelry drives me nuts! Please don’t misunderstand. I understand why people did it. The coins looked pretty & flashy. I also...
