Currency debasement is the greatest danger facing holders of dollars.
Gold and silver have proven to be the ultimate hedges against currency
debasement.

Although gold is the only money with a six thousand-year history of stability, today gold is no longer used as money. Still, gold remains the ultimate hedge against inflation and the preferred investment during periods of financial anxiety and economic turmoil.
