  Gold has only one real use case in a “world gone to hell”

  Something hastened by Gold Mining

      OK, champ. Let me be direct.

      I think there are better assets to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty with if you’re not expecting an invasion.

      • What assets?
      • Why are they a better hedge than gold?
      • Can you explain their advantages in case of invasion and no invasion?
      • What are your qualifications and experience to offer financial advice?

        Bitcoin, it’s a better hedge because a known amount will be added to the supply (good supply is notoriously lumpy. A good mine might open on the other side of the world and lower the gold price). lighter weight if leaving a war torn country. Not financial advice.
