Silver, darling, silver. He's not an idiot. Gold is for numpties who think that if something is glittery and yellow it must be worth lots of money, AG47 by contrast is too smart for that and knows real value means being glittery and grey.0 -

An excellent summary. This is a variant of Positivemoneyism, the belief that if Adam has £100 and lends it to Beth, Adam has a £100 asset and Beth has £100 in cash, so between them they have £200 and Adam has created £100 out of thin air via secret financial Jew magic.0 -

I like silver because it is even more rare than we are told.
