Jamesfaed The fiat dollar is fiat or paper or digital and causes way way more greed then gold. The devil doesn’t need gold money when a private federal reserve can print indefinitely and then pays a 6%dividend to Wall Street and a 90% franchise tax back to the treasury. I’ve seen many people say gold isn’t needed or bad. But sound money prevents endless war and helps hold corrupt banks and governments more accountable when gold or silver is actually money that workers are paid in.

@herzogsbuick Ай бұрын

for stone, all you can do is date the things in the ground around it, which of course we can't do now. i'm skeptical, but why would a portly old man fake the maps to just dig in the desert all the time? fake a map to show the zimbrinksis or whatever the name of the family with the ranch was here, to get to something you actually know is there. fake a map to convince someone else that it's real, not yourself. this could all be a farce but that would be a very strange way for it to be so
