two

Here we are again. Two days in a row!

I want to share a story today about money. I spent the first 30 years of my life thinking that our money was real.

I remember my grandma giving me a silver dollar when I was a kid. She said “as long as you hold onto this coin, you will never be poor.” What a quote.

Memories of my childhood are quite limited but this quote has always stuck in mind. And the crazy thing is, she didn’t offer any explanation and I did not understand what she meant until about 20 years later.

She knew how valuable silver was. One silver Canadian dollar would ensure that I would never be poor as long as I held it.

Right now, you can buy an ounce of silver for about $25 USD. According to the debtclock.org, the real value in comparison to our (known) money/debt supply is over $2,000 per ounce. There’s some very smart people who think it’s worth much more than that.

Why the spread? Because silver is a tool used by the central bank to manipulate the system through derivatives and high frequency trading. If the price of silver goes up to $50, it would likely wipe out our entire financial system. That’s why the price is $25 per ounce.

Our grandparents know true value. They have lived through many decades, many governments, and even a complete change in the monetary system – from when Nixon took the US off the gold standard in the early 70s. A large percentage of the population has no idea that our money is an illusion. But they are finding out. And if you are reading it, you are likely one of those people.

Get yourself an ounce of silver… and you will never be poor.
