A quote from the other forum talking about the coup in Thailand.
Anyway we have food to last us a bit, and gold to get us out if need be. No one is going to take fiat or BTC at the airport if it comes to that.
quoting yourself? oh, that's great.

read a little deeper Goat just conceded, a preference for Bitcoin over gold, call it a statement not a quote.
oh that is no secret, i love BTC (or crypto coins) compared to gold. my only point is, gold is not yet dead and worthless.
I'll take your word for it and hold on. (i now see it as Armageddon insurance.)
As a passive observer here early on, I thought cypherdoc was being hypercritical and over confident when he was called out for using gold in his avatar, (yes I know never make an investment call on the colour of someones avatar) actually I held cypherdoc, position as an uneducated default, I was being schooled in the value of gold by gold bug propaganda.
Anyway I decided to track and do the reverse cypherdoc experiment, split BTC and buy Gold and track the 2, I traded out what would later become a life changing amount of Bitcoin for Gold BTC @ $9 and Gold @ $1900 + delivery.
I dont care what anyone says, until that split investment returns something comparable in value, Gold is collapsing and Bitcoin is UP I know i live it every day.
So gold is timeless, also probably stolen form Inkers or some Spanish ship by the Brits, the mottled history aside, Ill make a spoon with my gold one day, if I can afford the energy to melt it, or I could invest the energy in mining Bitcoin and buy a dinner set and dining table.
