      Do you realize that putting your wealth into commodities and securities instead of a deliberately inflated currency is just basic money management?

      And with “securities” not looking too hot right now, that leaves commodities.

      (Also it’s huge warning sign of a recession in general)

        You probably felt really smart when wrtiting that comment, and that’s totally normal and valid. Everyone has lapses in reading comprehension sometimes.

            Okay daddprofessor. Most of us were agreeing that Trump admin trading gold reserves for cryptocoins is a stupid idea. This seems to have attracted people who agreed for the incorrect reason, namely that they think inert yellow metal is the fundamental source and measure of wealth, which David called out. After that it could be one of three things:

            a) You misunderstood what David wrote and rudely insinuated he is unfamiliar with the concept of speculative investment.

            b) You correctly understood what David wrote and — being a goldbug yourself — took issue with it and proceeded to make the aforementioned rude insinuation.

            c) You’re flirting with me a bit too aggressively and it’s activating my brat instincts, professor~

              You’re not intellectually ready for college, calm down.

              1. No, I understand what double negatives are and addressed them correctly. You’re giving “David,” and I doubt very much you’re personally familiar with him, credit where it isn’t due.

              2. Goldbugs are people who are unreasonably bullish on gold as a value store, just because it’s gold.

              I am pointing out that it is perfectly reasonable to invest in gold when your government is run by morons both actively attacking the value of the national currency and doing their best to cause a recession. Especially when those morons have a personal financial interest in doing so because all of their wealth is in commodities and securities while their debts are measured in USD.

                holy fuck what an embarrassing post

                You’re giving “David,” and I doubt very much you’re personally familiar with him, credit where it isn’t due.

                hey “David”, this fucking weirdo goldbug gold stockpiling enthusiast says we don’t know you

                anyway, I had to dig through way too many of your unending awful posts (please log the fuck off) to find out that the reason why you’re in here posting about gold is because you’re into the other thing weirdo ancaps love:

                Of course, BitCoin is doing better than ever, and it will continue to rise while Russia is under sanctions and drives demand.

                Unless you do what they call a “rookie move” and don’t keep a personal wallet.

                so how about you fuck off out of buttcoin

                Oh dear, please give Mr. Gerard my apologies for assuming first name basis, how impolite of me.

                I think calling gold “most stable currency in human history” is pretty buggish, but maybe by the time I’m intellectually ready to go back to college I’ll figure out why it isn’t.

                Sure, investment in gold is reasonable. Particularly compared to most of whatever the hell Trump administration is doing. You said goldbugs are unreasonable yourself, so your initial hostile tone seems misplaced. Most likely you either misunderstood what was said or felt that the remark about goldbugs was meant to include people as reasonable as yourself, even though no one said investing in gold is unreasonable per se.

                As for your later hostile tone, that is perfectly understandable because I’m being almost as much of a condescending dick as you are.

                Come to think of it, dragon types are know to be big on hoarding gold so I guess it’s natural for you to take the issue so personally.
