The GOLD STANDARD will put money in my pocket, purse or wallet that can increase in value overnite.  By saying that I am saying this:  Should GOLD goto $50,000.00 in 5 years just like bit-coins did in only 2 years up to $900,000.00,, then GOLD can do the same thing.  So what if your GOLD coins goto $500,000.00,,,,,,, oh my oh my,, what are we todo?  LOL Your dollar bill in your wallet just went up to 50, 60 ,70 times buying POWER whilst that Gold backed DOLLAR is right there in your pocket!  What are you going todo?
