But since there's hundreds of millions of us, and maybe tens of thousands of them, it would, at best, be like the ridiculous "war on drugs". They can't arrest every Chinese takeout owner because he accepted an American Silver Eagle as payment for a meal.NoSilverHereOfficernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-356232108939904862010-11-27T14:42:09.082-08:002010-11-27T14:42:09.082-08:00Did the government make a real effort to shut down...Did the government make a real effort to shut down the black markets in Argentina? <br /><br />It seems like the FBI would be all over any type of gold/silver black-market. For instance, while there is still murder-for-hire it seems as if I read several stories a year about how the "hit-man" was an FBI agent. Also several child molesters get caught that way.<br /><br />So, really a two part question: Is there a non-black market method for using gold/silver that is still beneficial? If not, then what do you think the likelihood of a serious government crackdown on the black-market would be?Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682475060718774717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-32948732320645841542010-11-27T10:31:23.671-08:002010-11-27T10:31:23.671-08:00VERY informative.

I wasn't sure how I would use gold/silver when the currency collapses and thanks to you, now I do.Shane and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801237878438991275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-89519455890817471902010-11-26T22:01:59.958-08:002010-11-26T22:01:59.958-08:00Good article.

Recently it is rumored that Gerald Celente went mostly with Canadian. There are other options. One obvious, is to use up much of your dollars on essentials now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-72785510109254142402010-11-26T14:24:50.687-08:002010-11-26T14:24:50.687-08:001) A year or so ago, I went to my bank to exchange...1) A year or so ago, I went to my bank to exchange some dollars for a foreign currency (for a relative's trip) and the bank wanted my driver's license ID -- and they recorded my name, date of birth etc. They said the US government now requires this. <br /><br />2) Any asset that can be recorded can be confiscated or taxed heavily. Has this been other people's experience as well?<br /><br />3) The euro seems as risky as the dollar. And it appears that the Chinese don't allow foreigners to buy much of their currency --the renminbi. <br /><br />4) The Brazilian Real, however, has gone from around 40 cents US to 58 cents US in the past two years.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
