It seems as though the endgame to all of the political chaos we are experiencing in the US is the dethroning of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Putting aside for the moment the question of why or whom might benefit from such an outcome, what is the best way to play defense if your wealth is dollar-denominated?
I don’t know why the downvote; I found your answer to be worthy of further study. On a very brief first encounter, Monero seems dauntingly complicated for a typical non-technically-oriented investor. Certainly seems to have its merits for those that do understand the finer points, but one of the oldest maxims of investing is have a full understanding of how the sausage is made.
Incidentally, for those whose assets are already well known to those in power, I think more transparent solutions might be the logical course of action.
Gold is certainly on my radar. Currently pondering the best possible avenue e.g. physical, GLD, miners, etc. and will certainly explore goldbacks. I imagine that could be a thread of its own.
Thanks for your response.
You definitely don’t want the ETFs such as GLD or the miners because those are shares and you don’t actually physically own them. So you’re going to want the physical or goldbacks.
Edit: With the gold, if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it. With Monero, you need to have your own wallet with your private keys, because again, if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.
Having anything be for benefit of means that it can be revoked as it’s nothing more than an IOU with conditional redemption.
