For Want of a Mene Gold Nail
![895B97EF-6EA6-4E1A-9657-67F1831927BA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmchgjgydYhqgzAg2QR71kMJsWjKfW6QsVjopGnh9U1z6U/895B97EF-6EA6-4E1A-9657-67F1831927BA.jpeg)


For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

"For Want of a Nail" is a proverb, having numerous variations over several centuries, reminding that seemingly unimportant acts or omissions can have grave and unforeseen consequences.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Want_of_a_Nail

I always loved this as a kid. It’s an excellent reminder how sometimes a very small thing can turn into a big thing. It is also a lesson in preparation and a general awareness of things that can go wrong.

![8F0D9966-3BAD-424B-9EAD-24113BA50FD8.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRXwvr2ZVEF1sgWcXJf9LJcRcufzvxvHjqRmzAUF2M9gt/8F0D9966-3BAD-424B-9EAD-24113BA50FD8.jpeg)https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ForWantOFANail

Had the rider simply packed an extra nail he might have saved the kingdom. His lack of foresite for systemic risk was extremely costly as he could not fix his horseshoe.

A tragic modern day example is the unfortunate case of the Venezuelan bolivar. The currency of Venezuela is currently experiencing hyperinflation that is nothing less than scary.

If anyone had the ability and means to protect themselves with gold, this is how they would have faired:


![9D0E1380-F865-42FC-819F-AB280FAD24AA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXgKXsRpcnJN6uJ9wCBeCqm4xvACgLdMtJRgMiAG19p89/9D0E1380-F865-42FC-819F-AB280FAD24AA.jpeg)https://tinyurl.com/y9xqs7y4

It is not too late for the average person to provide themselves with some protection against inflation and hyperinflation with some gold you can wear right around your neck or wrist.

You can do it with a little gold:

![E875280C-85E1-4286-985F-CD29B987B5CA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNYaf9j8TQ4mGvetgEriYhsXzjG9ghqiftc9XGk8ZE1qv/E875280C-85E1-4286-985F-CD29B987B5CA.jpeg)

Or a lot of gold:

![B66AA8A6-2122-4B58-AE83-2A7918199BFA.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbLz5SDZtSoEhZ4WH6si92982TYL8EkcAL1fuRFEW9PAU/B66AA8A6-2122-4B58-AE83-2A7918199BFA.jpeg)

With Mene, you are sure not to forget your “nail” as it will be with you all the time as wearable wealth.

Please dont be this guy!

For want of @goldmatters, goldmoney would be lost.
For want of goldmoney, my 10g gold cube would be lost.
For want of @goldmatters, mene would be lost. 
For want of mene, my referral would be lost. 
For want of referrals, my insane amount of free gold & platinum would be lost. 

The moral of the story is "always listen to @goldmatters"
