This is a possibility. I’m not sure exactly why it wouldn’t hold the same value as it would have 200 years ago. I’ll have to look into other precious metals. But wouldn’t this same confiscation apply to silver and or platinum? I’ll try to get to your question in the next couple of days. Thanks for your insight.

Then perhaps you are seeing gold being confiscated by governments like the US government has done in the past. People would be forced to use paper currencies and thus no legit market for gold.

I assume you see the same for all precious metals, silver, platinum, as well as precious metal mining stocks?

No, I understand what your saying, and as I said it doesn’t really make sense. What it looked like was there won’t really be a market for gold and there will be major reshaping of the global economy over the next couple of years, so there will be no historical go to paradigm that applies.

Gold has historically been seen as currency of last resort. Are you saying people in the future would rather have paper money that governments can print at will then gold? I don’t believe there has been a paper currency lasted. How long will the current US dollar last?

Todd Palin Was Registered Member of Alaska Independence Party Until 2002
By Kate Klonick – September 2, 2008, 3:25PM
The McCain camp today disputed rumors that presumptive vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was ever registered with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party by releasing years of voter registration history . . . but it looks like that doesn’t apply to her husband.

This afternoon, the director of Division of Elections in Alaska, Gail Fenumiai, told TPMmuckraker that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States.

Besides a short period of a few months in 2000 when he changed his registration to undeclared, Todd Palin remained a registered member of AIP until July 2002 when he registered again as an undeclared voter.
