What Would You Trade For a 1 oz Gold Coin?
EDITOR'S NOTE: The value of the fiat system has penetrated the core of American society so deeply that many can’t even recognize the value of a gold coin when offered for free. Mark Dice’s video below is highly revealing, surprising, and almost painful to watch. In it, people are unwilling to let go of worthless items in exchange for a $1,800 gold coin. It can be a half-eaten cup of ice cream, a half-consumed soda, a water bottle, etc. When you can no longer recognize the codes that, by convention or coercion, guide and define your behaviors, you’ve been “over-coded.” Americans have been over-coded to see paper money as the embodiment of monetary value, gold and silver as valueless relics, and “purchasing power” as a secondary effect to the paper that serves as its stand-in. What are we to say about a society that takes a monetary substitute (promissory note) as the real thing and the real thing (gold) as a “foreign” object that has no place in the monetary system? Seven letters: D-E-C-L-I-N-E.
