<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2769635, member: 77639&quot;]Hard to say where cyber finances will take us, but there is no going back on it.&nbsp; Metals as a medium of exchange were never suppose to &quot;protect us&quot;. No one involved with production and trade in precious metals has had such a lofty ideal. Precious metals simply evolved as a verifiable, transportable, durable medium of exchange.&nbsp; Precious metals these days are more and more commodities like oil, wheat, iron, diamonds, etc. Unless there is a significant economic collapse, greater than the great depression, precious metals are not coming back as a medium of exchange.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as protection goes, countries with the biggest ore reserves and the infrastructure to mine and process them can have the biggest influence on the&nbsp; precious metals markets.&nbsp; For gold that&#039;s Australia, Russia, South Africa, in that order; then Indonesia and the U.S. with equal amounts. For silver, it&#039;s Peru, Australia, Poland, Chile, China, Mexico and the U.S. in that order (statistica.com).&nbsp; So, those who believe in a coming economic collapse had best head down-under.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
