As for gold, in Thailand, the gold shops sell gold bars with 96.5% purity. There is no ID required and no records made of transaction, big or small.

In terms of world currencies and banking, I think it is possible that tremendous change could occur within a few years, if that. Bernanke loves QE, as do many others that wish to artificially stimulate inflation by watering down the dollar. As the dollar continually and steadily falls into the abyss of becoming worthless, several other world currencies will be negatively effected. Heaping debit on top of debit is a sure road to financial collapse. The US has become the forerunner in this pursuit.

Thankyou very much for responding to my questions. I would be quite interested about your ideas concerning “long term survival homestead.” People should start to be aware that survival of the fittest will be those who are prepared for the worst.

Thanks to the misleading efforts of many to paint the coming cashless society into a picture that it really isn’t going to be, it has been viewed with much misunderstanding. Many interpret this thing as something arcane, controlled by a few people whom the conspiracy peddlars want to place in a bad, but probably deserved light. The fact that gold can have a value unconnected to any governments ability to control makes it an undesirable element in any country’s currency valuation.

I believe that there will always be national currencies, but those currencies will become valued to a more or less level of worth in comparison to the world markets. We see the drive by the current US administration to push China to revalue its Yuan so it is more closely allied with the US dollar. The world currency markets continue to fluctuate as the dollar declines in value, while others rise or decline as well until one day, all will be equal.

But as that trend occurs, we see nore and more countries moving towards the usage of plastic for transmitting tender, and now cell phones, and eliminating paper currency. Great Britain has passed a law banning paper checks as an exchange of tender by I believe it was 2016. Many countries are trying to eliminate certain denominations to make it more convenient to use plastic. even here in the US, in New York cabbies will not accept cash for the most part, more and more public transportations are changing over to non-cash payment schemes….

I could go on and on for pages, but you see where I am heading. Eventually, even though tender will always be based upon currency, actual currency will disappear to be replaced with credit/debit payments for all transactions. At some point I can envision the governments of the world deciding to make gold illegal for use in financial transactions in some way, perhaps by banning its individual ownership as FDR did in the thirties.

Gold is, as I’ve repeatedly said, a great investment tool, but that is all it should be used for. One can make tons of cash, but we need to remember that if such an above described scenario becomes fulfilled, what will you do with all of those little gold bars? Unless you have bought your gold under the table, on the black market, the government knows how much gold you own, and where you live.

I’m looking at this discussion not into the very near future, i.e. five to ten years, but fifteen and more years into the future. It will take time for all of this to come together, but the ball has already been nudged, and is rolling along gathering steam every day. In one decades time from now we will see a completely different picture of the world around us, and a decade after that it will be far different still.

Gold is good, but if we are prohibited from using it as a way to provide for our daily needs, what will we use?

I really can’t discuss my ideas completely in this short venue, much as I’d like to, but I do discuss them on my Blogtalk show, and currently have started a series on setting up your long term survival homestead for the coming times. Perhaps you’dlike to listen in to the podcasts?
