The following video explains some of the workings of a cashless society and which countries are already banning purchases of stuff for certain monetary amounts. With the underground cash only purchases most countries have that governments are unable to track and tax this system will enable every bottle of barbeque sauce and anything else to be tracked. Anyway the video was interesting to me...
I try to maintain cash, and coins just to have. Solid silver, gold. . . . the market is going to correct soon. I want to be ready.
The thing that has me somewhat worried without crying the tears of doom porn, is if you can't eat it or drink it, you are not protected from this next correction. If you're dead set on gold please buy chain you can weigh and clip the links as necessary. Otherwise my carrot eating friend people will not be able to much divide your gold bar or coin into a useable sum. As the wife always say food, water, shelter, and not necessarily in that order. Be debt free, well armed and wait it out taking care of you and yours.
I have said it a bunch of times here, its a global economy that hasn't any money, and no one seems to know where it is and outside of the IG Farben and the Nazi's, I don't know anyone flush. So when TSHTF where is a country going to borrow money to save it's ass, if no other has any? Don't be surprised if you have money in the bank it doesn't get taken without your authorization to pay the country's debt.
I buy the 1/10th ounce coins. I keep things small for purchases.
thatta boy, get plenty of spices for barter as well, you should be the king of medical kits for barter. With your knowledge of medical, they will be giving you gold coins.
A box of bandaids will cost 1/10th .... I don't go in for the blood moons, what's written, comets, or asteroids, or Obama's it is and always has been about the money. They are almost finished setting up a system that makes money from failure. When that happens TPTB will have a self perpetuating system of finance that produces money from the people of the world's failures.
In the last greek deals they had to sell state assets to satisfy the Nazi's er um Germans. Maybe this time to before it's over with.
Very Simple Example: Just think you buy 150K house put down 10% of 15K financing 135K making payments of what 650 for 5 years maybe you pay 500 towards the principle. Then the economy sucks you lose the house, and the banks / PTB made 54K from you and then resell the house. How many times does this happen on the same house? When I was in the wash business owners would do this after creating the best set of books ever. One car wash in Los Angeles went 12 times, the owner made more by reselling it over and over than selling it once and forgetting it. Of course the banks want to finance, bow they can sell it 12 times.
Once this happens globally they can manipulate economies to create losses in sectors ie. say commercial, or home real estate, Government's, parks, etc. etc. Its happening now slowly Greece is a great indicator of what to expect.
Will stick with places that use cash / barter ........ not a damn thing I want or need in places that are cashless ......, besides for all the really fun toys need cash / gold / gems to obtain the sellers dont take plastic ......
Also am severely allergic to governments ..... banks..... churches ...... and taxes in all forms hence do my best to avoid all of them ...... they want money let em get up off their lazy asses and work for it like everyone else instead of extorting everyone ......
Cashless society means the loss of power and control by the individual I forsee a horrible future where we are told what to buy when to buy how to buy it's not a good thing that's why people should start stocking up on Vienna sausages and spam!!!
They can try all they want to tell me what to do ...... my reply will be same as now laugh at them and flip em the international gesture of greeting ...... while carrying on minding my own happy camping business ......
