>>5Because the federal reserve holds a monopoly on the printing of legal tender. Our crypto fascist left wing government has made it illegal to use any alternative currency. Nevertheless, gold has served as currency for thousands of years, either in the form of direct coinage, bullions, or as the reserve standard which backed up the value of paper currencies. Without gold backing up our currency, the federal reserve is making your paper currency weaker and weaker. The point of investing in gold is not to make some return on your investment, but to store your savings in a tangible medium.
Also, fuck you.
