Explain how this world of exchanging gold directly for goods and services outside the system makes for a better world in the future? Sounds like we just went back 200 years where the quick draw cowboy holds your gold.
The point we both make is paper is worthless. Gold is a tangible asset recognized and largely accepted around the world.
But if gold becomes illegal to hold, gold as a medium of exchange becomes less useful and near impossible as a wealth building asset.
Nothing stopping anyone from trading gold, bitcoin, weed, liquor, etc for anything else right now. Happens all the time in prison, so we are in total agreement. But that wasn't my point.
outside the system makes for a better world in the future
My point is having a viable, strong economy in the future. That doesn't happen with outside the system underground trade.

do you just blindly submit to authority, or do you demand accountability?

Demand accountability. What’s your point?
