Had this conversation with a goldbug on Twitter yesterday.
When I pointed out he can’t cross a border with a gun (which he is using to stay put to defend his hoard - no geo-arbitrage possible) his solution was just to use multiple couriers and insure them 🤣🤣🤣
Goldbugs did all the work to understand sound money, then just ignore centralisation by CBs and the extreme difficulty of moving that wealth around.
Did this goldbug have a nice lad that can re-smelt it?
Every gold bug I know has them in plastic cases.
Silver people are even dumber.
He clearly hadn’t thought that far ahead. Gold and guns is where they all get stuck.
They see that as the ultimate self-sovereignty and whilst I can see some appeal in that, being *unable* to move means you’re an ATF firebomb or toxic train derailment or catastrophic weather event away from losing all your wealth anyway.
Gold is a good “get out of dodge” last resort asset - they treat it as a “Custer’s last stand” asset.
