Hey my friend, 

Thank you for the great comment .. as always it's much appreciated.  I can't believe those editions of Monopoly!  That's the funny thing, people laugh at the prospect of a digital currency .. but by the time the propaganda machine has had it's way people will one day laugh about the fact we exchanged pieces of paper.  And yes you're right what kind of message is that putting out to children, that you get ahead by any means possible .. by trampling upon the backs of your fellow man to get there!

Yes I liken it the economy to a balloon that's been continuously inflated and then deflated .. one day either the rubber will war too thin or someone will inflate it that little bit too much and it will pop.  Once it's popped you're not blowing it up again!  The bursting of the final bubble appears to be written into the system, but by the time that happens they will have used the system to buy up the world and won't need it any more .. clever eh?

I'm certainly with you on the metals etc .. I think at least 50% of any crypto profit should go back into metals .. plus even if people have no crypto, silver is cheap enough for most people to buy a one ounce silver coin per week.  If you buy a Britannia (for Uk) or U.S eagle (for the states) you don't even pay tax on any profit that you make .. silver can't really go much cheaper, its a no brainer to me.  Thanks again for the great comment @tremendospercy
