You know, this makes me think of all the bonds my grandparents bought me when I was a kid. Which my mom lost.

Sigh.

Gold was about $300/oz then. It WOULD have been a good investment. Now, my money's on salt and liquor.

that sucks about the bonds.  :cry:

there were ppl that told me i missed the boat when i first bought in at $700 a few years ago, too.
i didn't care then, because i wasn't buying as an investment, but now that its bouncing around at the level it is, i feel a little vindicated anyways...
we're still not anywhere near the all time highs, adjusted for inflation, too.

also, salt?  liquor i can see how it would be a hot commodity quickly upon shitfan.  what's your salt story?

You need salt and potassium for normal neurological function.

QuoteSymptoms of moderate hyponatremia [salt deficiency] include tiredness, disorientation, headache, muscle cramps, and nausea. Severe hyponatremia can lead to seizures and coma.

My guess is that in the event of a shit-and-fan-conjunction, salt will be used for food preservation, and therefore useful for not starving to death.

is it something that will quickly come to short supply?

i have a pretty good feeling that we will have some sort of shitfan scenario in my lifetime, but i doubt a long lasting madmax scenario.  the only things that i prep for are things that will evaporate quickly...

Salt is pretty easy to get if you live on the coast.  Otherwise I can definitely see it becoming a short supply item pretty quickly.

Or in salt lake!

Of course, given the choice between starving to death and eating something that used to be in the lake, I'm not sure which I'd actually pick.

a roman coin with a double digit AD date goes for about that, IN ONE COIN
I would like to get into the ancient coins though.

some of them are worth a bit in historical value, roman emperors, seen at the local coin shop

QuoteWhile doctors may disagree with her about whether gold can be irritating, it has become a go-to ingredient in skin care products. It has been flaked, liquefied and otherwise suffused in moisturizers and sunscreens, eye creams and lip balms. Spas advertise 24-karat gold facials, a splurge typically costing north of $100. Fancy brands like La Prairie and Guerlain sell golden wares at high-end stores like Nordstrom.

Yup.

Colloidal/monatomic gold is better absorbed by the body, tho. And we've known this for _centuries_. Hell, some think that the Ark of the Covenant is a huge eletroplating batttery used to make monatomic gold.

WHY?

Gold isn't reactive (short of bathing it in aqua regalia).  That's the whole reason they use it for electronics.  What possible use could this be?

They do it with pearls, too. I don't get it. What possible use is rubbing calcium on my face?

It's because people are dumb and will buy anything if someone sells it good enough.

It's basically sympathetic magic.

I was being funny, but I wasn't really kidding.  We're like magpies, we love shiny things.  It's the real reason lustrous metals and gems are considered some of the hallmarks of wealth.

We ascribe magical properties to them, too.  Crystal power? 

Yeah, my soul just naturally resonates with things that are worth a lot of money.  :lulz:
