    Okay daddprofessor. Most of us were agreeing that Trump admin trading gold reserves for cryptocoins is a stupid idea. This seems to have attracted people who agreed for the incorrect reason, namely that they think inert yellow metal is the fundamental source and measure of wealth, which David called out. After that it could be one of three things:

    a) You misunderstood what David wrote and rudely insinuated he is unfamiliar with the concept of speculative investment.

    b) You correctly understood what David wrote and — being a goldbug yourself — took issue with it and proceeded to make the aforementioned rude insinuation.

    c) You’re flirting with me a bit too aggressively and it’s activating my brat instincts, professor~

      You’re not intellectually ready for college, calm down.

      1. No, I understand what double negatives are and addressed them correctly. You’re giving “David,” and I doubt very much you’re personally familiar with him, credit where it isn’t due.

      2. Goldbugs are people who are unreasonably bullish on gold as a value store, just because it’s gold.

      I am pointing out that it is perfectly reasonable to invest in gold when your government is run by morons both actively attacking the value of the national currency and doing their best to cause a recession. Especially when those morons have a personal financial interest in doing so because all of their wealth is in commodities and securities while their debts are measured in USD.
