A little reading

An interesting read indeed.

Two points I honed in on.

"Closer to home, Americans felt the sting of government intrusion in 1933 when they were ordered by Federal decree – not long after the President had stated publicly that he would not do so – under penalty of fine or imprisonment, to "turn in your gold."

I had never heard of that, so duly googled for more information, and what I read was truly terrifying. The power of the freedom-hating-private-property-hating-personal-liberty-hating Marxist State in full force.

Moral of the story.....never trust government, or rather those who are drawn to it.

Didn't realise that silver was also forbidden though there is very little mention of it. The only way a country would confiscate is if it is proved that it would worsen an economic collapse as what was claimed in the great depression. But the article I linked to mentioned a tax would be more likely but then silver is already taxed and gold is not. Wouldn't say gold and silver are at risk of anything like that unless they shoot up like cryptos did!
