Many Americans are dependent on this fiat currency we call the dollar. The federal reserve prints the dollar. A privately owned institution that lends out dollars to our government. The government has to pay back these loans with interest. How do they pay back the federal reserve you may ask? Easy, the tax payers.
There's a reason we are taxed on almost everything you can think of. This is why Americans need to wake up and realize they are debt slaves in this system. We need to start transferring our wealth in something tangible that will hold its value such as gold and silver.
Gold and Silver have been used as money for thousands of years. They are considered a commodity for their rarity and industrial uses. The dollar has been around for over 200 years and its lost nearly 90% purchasing power due to the federal reserve printing more dollars. The more you have of something the less it's worth.
Gold and silver hedge against inflation. When the stock market and other fiat currencies are down precious metals tend to be in the green. Although these asset don't provide any form of dividends they are seen as a safe haven. Be the 1% of Americans and consider hard assets such as gold and silver in your portfolio and protect yourself from a toxic dollar.
