And it's WAY more than that, but it may actually return to the precious metals system soon from the whispers I am hearing. I have a family member who is a top dog at one of the top three Wallst Banks/trading firms. He recently told me, as I have now later heard from other top economists, that the Fed has lost control - (Trumped), and that the Fed actually, publicly told them that soon there will be a new gold "Redeemable" dollar. Now THAT is huge news, because a gold backed system, meaning paper that is "alleged" to be backed by some amt of gold that is "alleged" to be stored somewhere, can be manipulated and Ponzied exactly like the fiat system we have had since they did exactly that after 1929. BUT, having the Fed people tell the banks that a new system is coming (not theirs), that is gold "redeemable?", that's a different story altogether because you cannot Ponzi that system if its "redeemable." And just yesterday I hear other news from him that the Fed just told all regional banks to either sell off or die off. Not exactly sure what that means, but I do know that most all Federal reserve related banks have been buying up and hoarding gold and silver for a couple of yrs now. Which means they knew what was coming. Couple that with the fact that in the last 2 months, 2 times, the big shots sold off billions of their useless SILVER metals "paper", NOT physical SILVER! My guy told me then that the super rich and banks etc. are doing this because they of course also know what's coming, and obviously paper anything will soon be 100% worthless. And that they are now, after yrs of scamming all the idiots in the markets who bought fake paper rather than stacking REAL gold and silver, that these big shots and banks are now cashing out so that they can spend those "ones & zeros" on physical gold, but mostly for silver. Which of course I had the same reaction you just did, WHY SILVER over gold? Now this blew my mind; he said, that the scuttlebutt is, that Trump, as he actually said if you all recall, is going to and has already started letting out many of the long hidden Patents for free energy, levitation and frequency healing technology, AND, that all of this technology is highly dependent on SILVER! AND, he tells me, that there is WAY less silver on the planet than gold. So, of course, I asked, why is silver so important. Because I thought in electronics they used gold more than anything else. Turns out silver has 2 free isotopes and gold has only one. And that soon, silver is going to go through the roof like no one will ever believe because it will be required for said tech. So, of course, being a Wallst guru he told me to go out and buy all the silver of any kind as long as its 999% and hide it. To which I answered saying that if all this is correct and does happen, that I in no way see all that transpiring without some MAJOR upheavals nationwide and that having a lot of silver or gold is one thing, but first he had to be alive on the other side to use it. To which he answered; 'of course, I know that, which is why my girlfriend and I are coming to live with you in Montana soon to wait it out...' Of course he going to come where all the bullets and body armor are..Lol
