"The average lifespan of fiat currency is only 27 years..." Yep, great reason to get into Gold, since Gold is not based upon anything. Oh wait a minute, didn't I just see a thread that claimed that Gold is priced in USD, which is a fiat currency? Damn, the USD is not going to last, even though it has for 100 years once the USA central bank was formed, which means gold will soon be worthless. Yes! Let me get a gram of gold now please! That is 1/454th of a pound!
