| In every currency collapse throughout history, the people that were left holding on to that currency were, of course, wiped out. | |
| And they weren't warned by the central bank that anything bad was happening. | |
| Even though the people in charge knew that the collapse was coming, of course, they didn't spread the word. | |
| They just took precautions themselves. | |
| They bought gold. | |
| So the bankers know to buy gold and silver while they tell other people to hold paper dollars or fiat currency, even as the collapse happens. | |
| So if you look at the hundreds of fiat currency collapses that have taken place throughout history, yes, there have been hundreds. | |
| They share many common properties. | |
| One is the people never had any warning. | |
| Secondly, the government always lied to them. | |
| Right up until the day it was too late. | |
| And third, some people got out. | |
| That's people who shifted away from the currency into other assets that would hold value. | |
| And the smart people right now in America and in Europe and elsewhere are getting out of the fiat currencies. | |
| And that's why you can hardly find silver, physical silver. | |
| It's almost impossible to buy right now unless you're willing to wait many weeks for it, you know, many weeks for delivery. | |
| Gold has a little bit of a better supply. | |
| Land is in a bubble because everybody's trying to buy land right now, of course. | |
| And look at the price of vehicles, both new and used and other things. | |
| Commodities, for example, are in quite a bubble. | |
| You know, copper and nickel, of course, even aluminum and lithium and so on. | |
| And this is because people are getting out of dollars and getting into other things that have value, including ammunition, by the way. | |
| So a question that's often posed by people who are able to accumulate some significant amount of assets in their life Let's say they've got, I don't know, a half a million dollar nest egg that they've socked away over the years of earning and saving. | |
| They got $500,000 and now they want to convert that into, let's just say gold, because they know gold will hold value. | |
| So $500,000 would be about roughly 250 gold coins. | |
| So let's say they do that. | |
| Now, this is not personal financial advice, by the way, as a disclaimer. | |
| These are just examples. | |
| So then after somebody has accumulated this, let's say, physical gold, the question they have is, well, what am I doing with this long term? | |
| How do I convert this back into quality of life? | |
| If you think about it, the whole purpose of money is to use it At least in a personal sense, to either acquire something or to help others through donations or to improve your own quality of life. | |
| For example, upgrading your car or your house or whatever you're into, right? | |
| Or maybe just having the ability to retire and not have to work anymore so that you can focus on your health and, well, at least in my case, I would like to grow more food. | |
| Do whatever you're into, whatever hobby that is. | |
| So money allows you to do that. | |
| So what's the off-ramp from gold into something else that can improve your quality of life? | |
| And the number one off-ramp, and I've thought about this a lot and I've talked to a lot of experts and I've interviewed a lot of people, the number one off-ramp for gold is going to be to purchase land, like ranches or businesses or even vehicles or construction equipment. | |
| Because it turns out that gold is going to be the most valuable when most people are the most desperate and they're trying to offload houses and land and businesses and vehicles and other things in order for them to have money to eat. | |
| That's right. | |
| It's going to be a lot of food price inflation worsening in the future and also food scarcity. | |
| It's going to be a lot of people who are losing everything that they own because they've held on to dollars. | |
| And at some point, they're going to end up doing things like selling land for maybe for gold or silver or something, probably silver, that they can trade for food. | |
| Or there might be a new currency, so they lose most of their money, most of the purchasing power in the old currency, and then in order to get liquid in the new currency, they sell their home, they sell their land, they sell their business, they sell their vehicles, and so on. | |
| That's a time when you will be able to use gold to purchase large other assets, hotels, for example. | |
| There's even a story in the Great Depression of a man, a young man, who purchased an entire hotel with a single gold coin that he had received as a tip because he was, I think, a bellboy or a shoeshine boy or something. | |
| He was tipped with an ounce of gold. | |
| It was one of the Rockefellers or something. | |
| And he held on to that ounce of gold and then later during the Great Depression, he was able to buy a hotel with that ounce of gold. | |
| And then he became very successful in hotel business and so on. | |
| But that kind of story demonstrates what I'm talking about. | |
| When times are really desperate, people will offload their assets in exchange for things like gold and silver. | |
| And I want to be clear here. | |
| We don't want to see anybody lose money. | |
| We don't want to see anybody hurt in a depression or in a collapse. | |
| And that's why we're trying to warn people now about what's going to happen to the dollar. | |
| But the truth is that most people won't listen until it's too late. | |
| And most people will be caught in the dollar trap. | |
| That's just an absolute fact of what's going to happen. | |
| And then there will be free market dynamics as those individuals attempt to offload their assets and so on, like I just talked about. | |
| And by buying their assets from them, you will be providing them with liquidity that they need in order for them to eat or pursue their goals or to move away if that's what they're trying to do and so on. | |
| So think about the fact that When you are buying people's assets with gold, you're also giving them something that they can use in a more liquid fashion in order to keep themselves alive or to purchase firearms or ammo. | |
| Because a lot of people, mainstream people, will enter the collapse without ever having purchased firearms, ammunition, storable food, things like that. | |
| And they will be happy to trade, let's say, I don't know, a pickup truck or something for some amount of gold or silver that they can then use to buy food. | |
| Maybe they have an extra vehicle. | |
| They don't want it anymore. | |
| Maybe the banks have collapsed and they're sitting on a vehicle that they never even really paid for, but they're able to get rid of that vehicle. | |
| Maybe the whole banking collapse ends up having Like a debt jubilee or something where all vehicle debts are canceled. | |
| Who knows? | |
| It just depends on how crazy the collapse gets, right? | |
| But I can see a lot of situations where people are wanting to offload hard assets, which will include land and businesses and farms. | |
| Think about trading gold for farmland or trading gold for tractors that can be used to produce food. | |
| I think this is going to be a key trade. | |
| So when you're collecting gold and silver, understand that you're not going to necessarily have to convert those metals back into fiat currency. | |
| No. | |
| You're going to be able to trade gold or silver directly for many things, such as ranches and vehicles and all these things I'm talking about, or homes or businesses, even commercial buildings. | |
| Or you might be able to purchase a gravel pit. | |
| Is a gravel pit valuable? | |
| Well, if people are building homes and they need concrete, then yeah, sure is. | |
| Might be a few gold coins and you're now the proud owner of a gravel pit that's got long-term sustainable revenue. | |
| So a lot of elements to think about in all of this. | |
| Now, people, of course, are wondering, well, how do I keep my gold and silver safe? | |
| Because it's weird for a lot of people to see, let's say, $500,000 on the screen When they're logging into their bank account. | |
| And then to trade that for 250 gold coins that technically can fit in a purse or something or a backpack. | |
| They're like, wow, this is it? | |
| Just this gold? | |
| How do I keep it safe? | |
| And, of course, the answer to this is kind of a little bit complex. | |
| Depends on where you live. | |
| But you have to secure it. | |
| You have to hide it. | |
| In a place that people aren't going to look for it. | |
| Now, thieves, of course, always look for the safe in your home. | |
| And safes are not very safe. | |
| Most safes are not resistant against break-ins. | |
| And the thieves know to go to the master bedroom and go to the closet in the master bedroom and look for a safe in the wall or a safe in the floor or anything stored in boxes that are high above the clothes That's where people put guns and ammo and jewelry and gold and things like that. | |
| So keep in mind that you'll want to be more creative in where you put gold or silver in order to keep it safe. | |
| And I've covered some of this in my book called The Global Reset Survival Guide. | |
| There's a whole chapter dedicated to hiding metals. | |
| And let me just give you one example. | |
| So, by the way, you can download that book. | |
| It's free of charge. | |
| It's an audiobook with a PDF transcript. | |
| It's at globalreset.news. | |
| Just go to globalreset.news, you can download the book. | |
| One of the ideas in the book is that you can take your gold coins, and normally they ship in a little plastic container. | |
| Typically, the little plastic container holds about 10 coins or so. | |
| Well, you can take that and you can... | |
| You know how you can pour concrete stepping stones and like decorative stepping stones for your backyard or your front yard or whatever? | |
| Normally, you can go to the hardware store and get molds for pouring these stones. | |
| And then you go get some quick concrete or quickcrete. | |
| You know, you mix it with water, you do that whole deal. | |
| And you pour your own concrete stones. | |
| Well, you can pour concrete around your gold coins. | |
| And then that will preserve your gold coins in the concrete. | |
| Right. | |
| Now, you might think, well, if somebody was a metal detector, they're going to detect the gold. | |
| But... | |
| You can also put little sticks of rebar and things in the concrete. | |
| And if they break one open and just see the rebar, they're going to go, oh, this is just rebar, so move on, right? | |
| So that's one thing to think about. | |
| And that's a pretty good long-term storage technique. | |
| I just say that as an example. | |
| Obviously, I haven't used that technique because that's the one that I make public. | |
| But it gives you an idea of the kinds of things that you can do. | |
| You can put gold coins or silver coins into other things, into concrete, into wood furniture, into, I don't know, whatever you're doing, plaster, stucco, you know, hide it in your walls and do new drywall. | |
| I don't know, dig it, bury it in the yard as long as you have a secret treasure map. | |
| Lots of places to hide gold and silver. | |
| Just make sure that you're not the only one who knows where it is in case something happens to you. | |
| But in any case, if you do a good job hiding it, then it's almost very unlikely that anybody's going to ever find it, especially if you have a big enough place or a clever enough position to hide it in. | |
| Some people want to put gold and silver in a safe deposit box in a bank. | |
| That's not a great idea because the banks can seize the contents of the safe deposit boxes. | |
| But anyway, I hope this gives you a couple of ideas. | |
| At some point, you'll be able to trade, again, gold and silver for other valuable things directly. | |
| You won't even have to go back into fiat currency, especially since a lot of people aren't going to trust the fiat currency at that time because the currency will have completely collapsed. | |
| So these are some really important things to keep in mind. | |
