Yeah I can’t really disagree with any of that. I guess I hope against logic that the US still has an appreciable amount of gold left unencumbered.
I’m pretty sure that GLD and SLV are scams, weapons turned against us with little actual gold. The Sprott gold and silver funds are likely straight.
Looking forward to the day these “treasure storehouses” of paper are opened up and found to contain a bunch of nothing!
