The “Great Reset” and the Future of Money… Here’s What You Need To Know

Excerpt:
"Money does not need to come from the government. That’s a total misnomer that the average person has been brainwashed into believing.

It would be similar to transporting yourself back in time and asking the average person in the Soviet Union, “Where do shoes come from?”

They would say, “Well, the government makes the shoes. Where else could they come from? Who else could make the shoes?”

It’s the same mentality here regarding money today—except it’s much more widespread.

The truth is money doesn’t need to come from the government any more than shoes do.

People have used stones, glass beads, salt, cattle, seashells, gold, silver, and other commodities as money at different times.

However, for over 2,500 years, gold has been mankind’s most enduring form of money.

Gold didn’t become money by accident or because some politicians decreed it. Instead, it became money because countless individuals throughout history and across many different civilizations subjectively came to the same conclusion: gold is money.

It resulted from a market process of people looking for the best way to store and exchange value.

So, why did they go to gold? What makes gold attractive as money?

Here’s why.

Gold has a set of unique characteristics that make it suitable as money.

Gold is durable, divisible, consistent, convenient, scarce, and most important, it’s the “hardest” of all physical commodities. In other words, gold is “hard to produce” relative to existing stockpiles and the one physical commodity most resistant to inflation of its supply. That’s what gives gold its monetary properties.

Bitcoin shares many of gold’s monetary characteristics. Like physical gold, Bitcoin does not have counterparty risk, and nobody can arbitrarily inflate the supply.

Here’s the bottom line.

I would encourage people to be sovereign individuals and recognize what works best for them as a vehicle to store and exchange value, rather than thoughtlessly accepting whatever the government gives them as money.

International Man: What makes government money dangerous?

Nick Giambruno: Governments reap enormous power from their racket of printing fake money out of thin air and forcing their citizens to use it. Whether it’s Venezuela, Lebanon, Argentina, or the US, it’s the same scam. It allows governments to act like vampires and feast on their citizens’ savings."

      Sundries of all kinds have barter potential. The better they can store, the easier it is stock-up and not worry about spoilage. You will use most of this eventually, better to barter your excess for what you need now.

      >Toilet paper / Feminine products.
      >Alcohol / Tobacco/ Gun Powder /Lead
      >Bolts of cloth/wool/leather hides.
      >Pharmaceutical Medicines (rotate stock)
      >Hand Tools / tool sharpeners.
      >Building supplies: nails, screws, staples, hinges, wood, shingles, water pipes, electrical wire.
      >Broadband Radios, One or Two-way, better if tube-based (EMP resistant). Better still if Battery powered, but batteries will become scarce quickly. Battery shelf life is 5-7 years depending on initial quality and storage conditions. Parts for same.
      > Fuel: lamp oil, Diesel, Petrol (2x Sta-Bil treated) Propane, wax, dried/split fire wood.
      >Lubricating oil, grease, tar, glue, electrical and duct tape.
      >Plastic sheeting, tarpaulins
      >Paper, pencils.
      > Old technology transport: Points/condenser ignition, generator w/mechanical voltage regulator (EMP resistant, 12 volt systems preferred)
      >Hand water well pump. Point well a +, means to collect and store water safely. (R.O. system, iodine/chorine) Large Food grade barrels: ULine.
      > If you have skills in the trades, your labour will go a long way. I can fix most any electrical/mechanical device. The older, the better. They were made to be serviced.
      >Lastly, if you have the skills/abilities and land: raise livestock. If things really go south, a good horse or two might be the most valued possessions you own.

      Post Script: Power went out recently for two days. I love old oil lamps, my favorite oil lamp is the Aladdin™ Lamp, ( Aladdin are the same people who made your Flintstones lunch box in the 1960's). it employs a wick and an ash mantel. They operate in complete silence, unlike a Coleman™ lamp, but as bright as their single mantle gas lamp without all the hassle of handling gas/pumping it up. The Coleman™ propane lamps are ok, but can run through a bottle in 24 hours. The glass body Aladdin's are the most attractive, but they made a ton more of the brass style, they are much cheaper, more plentiful and durable. They offer a MaxBright™ option that is well worth the upgrade. Use Ultra-pure oil. Cheap oil emits a kerosene like smell.

    "I would encourage people to be sovereign individuals and recognize what works best for them".
    I would too. It's not only a the right to do but it leads to piece and wealth creation.

      What a massive load of horse droppings.
      Mobilize People!
      The WEF intends to completely enslave all of us unless we act to stop them.

        the end of us all will be the central bank digital currency and the elimination of any control we had over our wealth. Eventually, that will mean we all work for the government actually, and it determines what we are allowed to buy and gain income from.

          You don't have to buy into CBDC's. It will only come to pass if you let it.

            I think there will be a lot of pressure, both from surcharges when cash is used or non CBDC methods of paying bills, to simply lack of acceptability of cash at street businesses. the state WANTS to control everything and can be counted on to pass legislation to accomplish that

              "This Note is Legal Tender for All Debts Public and Private" When that is no longer true, This government is toast.
              When you (we) no longer have "The Full Faith and Credit of the Government" the "Government" goes right down the crapper. No two ways about it. They work for us, not the other way round.
              Don't be so quick to put on your shackles.

                I bought a 1973 chevy vega for $1850 in 1973. Today a somewhat similar car like a kia soul would cost somewhere in the high 20's in the same US dollars. I say they have devalued the dollar, but the government is still in power. It shouldnt be at all.

        Cut the head off the snake. Big Business is the blood these vampires live off of. Cut off every possible source of their income you can reasonably do. Cut your cable. Stop watching/reading the lies in the media. Don't shop at the big box stores, including amazon, especially amazon. Shop local. Don't buy what you don't need. Period. If it is old, but still working, keep using it, the new model will certainly be made cheaper, won't last long, it won't be made here and if it is connected to "the internet of things" it's spying on you. If you have to replace X,Y or Z, find a used one. Preferably one that was made here (or Canada). Oh yeah, use cash. Always use cash.
        If we are to break the system, there will be pain. Better a little pain now, than all-out-war when our backs are against the wall and the lead starts flying. History tells us so.

          You are right that we have to starve the beast. It will never just stop being a statist government on its own. The problem with that of course, is that we kind of eliminate all the advantages of the current economy in our lives- some of those advantages are kind of nice however. We can probably withdraw support for 20% of the economy without a lot of pain, and that would really affect the government. Keep your car twice as long, never buy another house, buy from local farms or grow it yourself, keep your present computer and phone until they wont work anymore. Eventually, stop paying taxes as much as humanly possible- thats something that we ALL have to do to keep out of jail AND stop the motor of the government.
