Yes, but you went on to make claims that gold is somehow inherently different. Which it is not. Gold is only valuable valuable because you believe it is as well.
Fiat...... The nation is less likely to have a massive depression and more able to recover from one of it does happen. I don't think you understand that it doesn't matter if a currency is backed by gold or not. You are still trusting the country to pay you that gold, or to release the gold at the price you originally bargained for...... That doesn't happen in a recession.
Why do you think the US made people turn in their gold during the depression and then cease all redemptions?
Stable.... Again, fiat currency. Value after the collapse of a nation state? Who the hell knows? At this point if we experienced a complete collapse I would probably rather have the value in guns and ammo. However, i'm not betting on the world to end any time soon.
I thought that was only gold from criminals or certain people, not the general populace.
Nope, it was illegal to have more than $100 worth of gold.
