HEADS UP! Your Purchases Are Tracked. Can You Prevent Tracking with Gold?

Can you prevent purchase tracking with gold? It's an issue with an easy answer today: cash. Down the road, though, as the drive toward digital payments continues, I think it makes sense to give yourself more options by having access to physical assets. Cheers!

If you receive government benefits like Medicaid or Food stamps, all your spending that isn’t cash is tracked. If the number’s don’t add up, your benefits are reduced or eliminated.

A health crisis or job loss can impoverish almost anyone.

Came to a similar conclusion myself. Cbdc will be voluntary until it is not. Early adopters will be rewarded. Eventually all the hold outs will be told they have to change over and no choice in the matter. Black markets and barter will always exist. With a digital currency that can be tracked down to the penny I see an increased potential for people to look for options outside the system.

[@GetIrked]

For me, I try to maintain a fine balance between not being tracked and not being conspicuous by being obvious in my desire not to be tracked. Sometimes, it’s safer to hide in the crowd than stand alone in the field. On the plus side, my parents weren’t apparently all that creative when they named me. My full name is so common that you will never find me if you Google me. So, I guess I’ve got that going for me… 🤔 Another great video, if a little terrifying (thanks for that - this will live rent-free in my head for at least awhile).

Just in 4 of the $5 bags of fake jewelry I have more than made up for what I spent many times over just in the gold, and that was just the gold-plated stuff I identified. Right now, people undervalue gold, think some stuff is just junk and worthless. What is the value of a silver fork? Figure 90% silver and 10% copper. How many ounces, but people will sell it for pennies on the dollar. Be it in a bar, coin or round, fork or ring, they are still gold and silver.

Just like you, I like to have some. And while I don't think there will be a confiscation event like in the past, I do believe that once CBDC is here to stay and has replaced most if not all cash transactions, there will be a hefty redemption tax on metals that may render them somewhat worthless or worth less than the actual value (value - taxes) in this new economy. There will be a window to exchange them for tokens, but once that window closes, bam! This will be one way to prevent people from owning it. But what do I know??

[@2is1gold]

Anything is possible, but I don't think that will be the case. It would simply send it further off grid.

[@SVJoe]

I agree with you. Once the people are forced to use CBDC and ONLY CBDC's everything we have stacked is worthless. It will be our fault if we allow this to happen.

[@R._L.]

@@SVJoe True value cannot be dictated. It can only be recognised.

[@curtbaronio2825]

Private transaction with metal as cash , it’s in the constitution. Worth reading if you find the time. 💪😎👍🇺🇸💰

[@SVJoe]

@@curtbaronio2825 The constitution doesn't mean anything to the government, and it barely means anything to the average american. But it is fun to pretend that it is the law of the land.

i have been to coin shows that had video cams above every table recording all transactions.

If you want a cold water bucket of reality splashed in your face, visit a southeast Asian country recently. Currency control and tracking is severe, a dose of the future. That includes people movement control. America is still way more free than you can imagine, but the Elitists hope for more like Asia.

[@2is1gold]

Yeah, that's good perspective. I doubt any elitists want things like that, though.

[@SilverScorpion]

Yes use cahs and buy from a store you trust instead of on line. Great video and info bro. Keep rocking it

Paid local for 10oz. Guy i work with says $10 cheaper online. Same bar . So no record is $1 per oz. Except now I'm telling you on and back on record.

Ha! Be careful, I hear people tend to lose it in boating accidents.

As long as Nation-States/Central Banks hold Gold, it will always hold relevance. We may not focus on it to a high degree in the United States but it still holds huge strategic importance in most of the remainder of the world.

I like the idea of having some assets that the government doesn't know about...

Ok this what I think: stock up on a least a one year supply of dry goods, pay of your house and all creditors, grow a garden, have cash and precious metals, not fancy gold coins but more like junk silver coins that you can barter things for. Barter your skills. Work on your skills to barter with. I'll fix your toilet, you fix my car.

[@2is1gold]

Makes sense.

[@taralewis9916]

Do not sell your old car, just maintain it

[@bengagliardo]

and your car is tracking were you go through the infotanment center with the internet and your cell phone

[@randydelgado2686]

I don't worry too much about them tracking groceries. But I do have a plan for purchasing stuff I don't want tracked. Maybe it's ammo, precious metals, firearms, camping supplies... Also, just because they know I purchased some things X years ago doesn't give them any reason to suspect I STILL have said things. If and when someone comes round to check up on my stuff they'll have to jump through all of the hoops before they actually see any of it.

CBDC limits on PM purchases are what bother me. People buying PM are voting against the status quo.

[@chrigdichein]

wow! Yes, was wondering what that BS on my bank app was about... I help you planning you finances... but here we know, and u r the first to point it out, from all the channels I watch

[@tja3495]

More and more of this topic is being discussed on many platforms. Personally, I don't like being followed, stalked, or tracked, by foot or machine.

i CAN SAY i HAVE LOTS OF GOLD AND THEY STILL HAVE TO PROVE i HAVE IT LOL.

old new, that's why I pay cash for everything except utilities, and anything tax deductible. no code with cash.

You gotta admit, owning a mink hat would be pretty cool, comrade!

This is very true. May have to go shopping! 😄

[@kevinjhonson5925]

Pay cash wear a hat keep your head down and park around the corner and the phone in the car. I just started buying silver and will get to gold eventually but I will always pay cash. I don’t trust the government at all. Especially the Canadian government.

[@davidmartin2957]

What about private sales stick strictly off grid.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

I pay cash at the LCS.
