It doesn't really make a difference when our "currency" is essentially infinite. Precious metals are controlled markets, especially when there are paper markets for them.
Our paper market has no ties to gold. You say our precious metal supply is essentially infinite...how so? Do you see a huge supply of precious metals? Is it easy to go get a hunk of refined precious metal just on a hike or something? I dont think that's true.
Edit: ok I read your message better...are you saying our supply, aka paper, is infinite? Because that really has nothing to do with precious metals or what your first comment stated
I think he is talking about Physical Gold vs. Paper Gold. For example - $9.8 trillion of national gold paper trading took place on the world’s exchanges in 2016 versus $42 billion in actual physical gold investment. This was a paper to physical ratio of 233 to 1. Large paper short selling dumps by big banks kept the precious metals artificially low (so the elite could turn funny money into real assets as cheaply as possible)
Seems like paper trading is just as BS as fiat currency. There is an inherent value in having physical assets. They definitely found creative ways to rob us blind though.
