ok, if you say so, like I said just look what happened to pot. There was a time when you could freely buy it sell it grow it and smoke it. What happened? You are correct, they can never stop the black market in gold, but they can drive it underground and make any holder a criminal.Quote from zdreg:
""the government completely controls gold and always has. With one stroke of the pen they can confiscate it""
the statement is prima facie nonsense. the government cannot confiscate. people will give a thousand excuses what happened to their gold. gold will become the alternative currency, if the $US dollar is recognized only as fiat i.e. a worthless piece of paper.
