Why is it that the price of gold has been shooting up so drastically over the last few days?

[void]

I was obviously talking⁤ about global mobility... which doesn't change much about your picture being a bit naive from⁣ the practical standpoint... regular French highway police patrol ask you how much cash you carry⁢ 😳

an absolute mayhem would happen in Europe after two days of blackout in︀ every thinkable aspect - BTC is the last thing affected by this

 

[W Fish]

Aren't all⁠ these small coins available in Aliexpress? 😉

 

[koohl]

they may ask but do you⁠ need them to give a honest answer!

Btw. I travel alot in Europe also with⁤ car, I have never been asked for anything only my passport a few times crossing⁣ the boarders here and there but else never. In fact, I had 50K euro in⁢ cash with me most often, no problems.

I don’t know where you live, but where︀ I spend my time, I could easily have a kilo of gold on me or︁ with me in coins, which I could use in case of a power outage, as︂ also mentioned above.

If you look like this I can imagine you get stopped all the time

You don’t⁠ really have to tell everyone what you are doing, especially the guys in uniform.
In your garden, you mean.
Old question already answered thousands of times.⁢

 

[drphantom]

ehhh, interesting, how‌ would you do that?

 

[void]

you're right, you don't have to tell anything and there is a⁣ little chance, on the other hand it applies to taxation as well - I could⁢ easily pay 20% of my taxes and nobody would find out with a high probability︀ - yet some of us try to avoid breaking the law and giving the state︁ any reasons to harass us

for this doomsday scenarios fake gold is just as︅ good and "a bit" cheaper

Paper, mesh networks,‌ satellites, energy harvesting, quantum communication…. Even smoke signals and stone carving. Andreas Antonopoulos among others‍ wrote about this https://a.co/d/1YUdTc0

If you have a mix of a little gold, whiskey, and BTC, I’m sure you’ll‌ survive doomsday just fine.

😀 this sale is still pending as far as I‌ know - https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/threads/whisky-small-investment.43502/

EDIT: 6 casks left

I guess @EliasIT was referring to it as a last resort for (not)‌ surviving doomsday.

 

[void]

it's coming

 

[EliasIT]

exactly

The fake gold doesn't pass the 'bite test' though, which pretty‍ sure everyone sharp would use before accepting it as payment in a Mad Max scenario.⁠

Gold is historical high at the moment, China is keep buying on mass, impressive gains‌ for me.

 

[drphantom]

how log have you been holding the Gold,‍ is it physical and how much have you made?

 

[Houdini]

for almost 8 years, has been working out‍ as expected for this part of my investment. Secure, smooth and risk free.

 

[twgtrading]

A very smart move instead. I used to buy gold casually at pawn shops but‌ mostly in small gold bars like 100grams or 50 grams. Not the 1KG ones. lol‍

 

[daniels27]

Are they selling at or below market price?

 

[alain]

If you check the websites of the most reputable shops selling gold bars or coins‌ you can see they sell above the market price most often, and buy below. You‍ need a long time investment strategi if you look into Gold.
