>Stocks will be worthless in a gold standard monetary system, no intrinsic value in it.
What is a profit? What is an equity share? What is a dividend?
One could similarly argue that gold's only real intrinsic value is as an industrial metal.
Sessions focus on MJ is mostly significant in comparison to his apparent lack of focus on HRC and BHO crimes. My assumption is that its a backdoor way to uncover some shady shit the ATF or Soros has been doing in the drug trade. But if that doesn't become revealed soon, I'm out.
btw, its disingenuous to say he's leaving MJ decisions to the states, because that is exactly what is NOT occurring right now. Several states HAVE spoken, but its the federal laws which are creating the havoc and criminality. You can't even legit put the money in a bank account, creating a huge underground (literally… buried under swimming pools) cash economy.
Gold is mostly for long term (inter-generational) wealth preservation. It holds value relative to everything else a person needs (clothes, food, shelter, industrial uses, etc). Yes, you should have gold if you have wealth to preserve.
Stocks are admittedly more short term, a riskier asset class, for capital growth faster than inflation. A few years, a decade maybe.
Bitcoin was supposed to be a currency, for private exchange and avoiding fiat currency controls. But its turned into a get rich quick scheme. It's not gold - it will not have the same value a century from now.
>State profit from the sale of marijuana doesn't go under a swimming pool.
What states are you talking about?
I'm talking about individual growers and sellers who cannot legally deposit proceeds in banks without laundering the funds through real-estate leases or other mechanisms.
