Gold Is Real Money
Gold has and will always maintain its purchasing power through every economic collapse.
Greek philosopher, Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) said gold is money because:
-
It's durable. Gold handles wear and tear extremely well, therefore preserves value.
-
It's portable. Gold is very dense and holds a high amount of value relative to its
size and weight.
-
It's divisible. Gold is easy to separate and re-combine without affecting its
fundamental characteristics.
-
It has intrinsic value. Gold is independent of any other object and contained in
the money itself.
-
Fungible. Gold freely exchangeable or replaceable, in whole or in part, for
another of like nature or kind.
-
Store of Value. Over time Gold has shown not to lose its purchasing power.
-
No other commodity has the same characteristics.
-
An ounce of gold has more than quadrupled in the last 10 years against the US Dollar.
-
Gold is the only money which has never failed in the 6,000 year history of its use by humans.
-
Gold can't be duplicated (i.e. printed)
-
In times of crisis, gold is an insurance which also has the greatest potential to increase your wealth
