@traceystark it will be illegal to sell gold & silver not that you have to confiscated it the people will police themselves just with the idea of it.
Should there be an underground economy it will be fine there along with water , food , electricity.
If you save your gold for 50 years or just like last time you can publicly sell it and make a profit but you will not save your wealth but protect your children wealth.
I'm hoping for a better world to emerge not a complete breakdown of it thats why i think crypto currency is the way to go.
