  1. For further reading/watching; see also The Money Fix

    I have yet to see this vid, but part of it I caught had Chris apparently recommending gold. But from what is understood, gold is problematic for a few reasons, some of them being; that it depends on a finite resource and on the mining industry, is subject to hoarding, such as by the so-called rich, and doesn’t seem to change the fundamentals of the economic system.

  2. Eat money, eat gold.!! ??????
    Horde as much as they like.
    I will not accept their gold for my fruit, vegetables etc.
    It has no value to me.
    Or I’ll be just plain thieving rude and say “pound for pound” (hahahah turn the table on them).
    They might be able to buy land from someone, but will not have the knowledge to live, to survive.

    Look around you in the “western world”. Who do you know that can actually do something usefull with their hands. Make something. Produce something. Repair and fix something.
    Most people push paper or keyboards.

  3. Also: Gold only represents value. In a shrunk economy, you just cannot expect to get as much done holding promises than in today’s. Why will the economy shrink? Because the energy base will shrink. So what’s more valuable than gold? Renewable energy generation capacity.

    Ah, if only the guys who now nervously sit on big piles of money, and in trying to find save havens for them in resources cause food price spikes and starvation – well, if those ones only got that stupidly simple point…

  4. Sometimes you can’t take on changing the fundamentals of the system and have to settle for just protecting you and your family.

  5. Another thing, though he didn’t outrightly say it, the way he was talking about using Gas as an alternative to oil, it almost came across that he is either ignorant of the results of fracking or maybe just skipped around it to get his point across. I would have preferred to have heard him note that in addition to the infrastructure needed, its just straight out an enviornmentally unsound proceedure and therefore not an option!
