Many boomers unironically lose a lot of money from buying physical gold with stupid high fees in an already overvalued gold market, thinking it'll somehow help them in a doomsday scenario
>muh gold is a store of value
Yeah, faggot. Try trading your boomer rocks for some potatoes and guns after global nuclear war or whatever the fuck you're prepping for

because it's the only way gold can be useful in said situation.
but why do i need gold now?
I can't transport $200k worth of shiny rocks in a suitcase on a plane
neither i'm interested on getting a 2x every 50 years
but back at the og argument, gold is useless when you need food,guns, ammo and shelter to survive

peak midwit generic post.
if you bought at the start of this breakout, you are up. and you know you can sell right?
it's a play against a weakening dollar.
did you know you can own gold in addition to everything else you listed?

>And here’s a list of things that only scammers will tell you to do:

>“Move your money to protect it” is a scam. Nobody legit will tell you to transfer or withdraw money from your bank or investment accounts. But scammers will.
>“Withdraw money and buy gold bars” is a scam. Always. Every time.
>“Withdraw cash and give it to [anyone]” is a scam. Doesn’t matter who they say: it’s a scam. Don’t give it to a courier, don’t deliver it anywhere, don’t send it. It’s a scam.
>“Go to a Bitcoin ATM” is a scam. Nobody legit will ever insist you get cryptocurrency of any kind. And there’s no legit reason for someone to send you to a Bitcoin ATM. It’s a scam.
>“Buy gift cards” is a scam. There’s never a reason to pay for anything with a gift card. And once you share the PIN numbers on the back, your money’s as good as gone.
