“We will burn that bridge when we come to it.”
~ Goethe
Written by Bryan Lutz, Editor at Dollarcollapse.com:
When you play Bridge, you want to remember what the other players have already laid down.
You do that so you can potentially thwart their plans for the future.
If you can remember, it’s like all your opponents plans are laid out vulnerable, but…
when you’re looking at a real, physical bridge it magically shows all its vulnerabilities…
Like last night, when a cargo ship struggling from power outages struck a pillar of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the bridge. All the bridge’s structural vulnerabilities were revealed.
While conspiracy theorists are already shouting cyber attack, that would not have changed the ship’s trajectory.
Watching this video reveals the amount of time between power outages. So, I think it’s better to take the ship’s crew on their word.
Mistakes happen.
So do terrible accidents.
Plus, no one chooses to take out a bridge, a symbol of commerce and prosperity unless it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, the FBI says, “There’s nothing to see here…”
Bridge collapses can happen…
They’re a tragedy.
So, if you want to protect yourself from collapse…
Specifically, from the collapse of the US dollar, then you may want to invest in an almost indestructible form of wealth that reliably transfers goods and services in any economic environment – gold.
Since the same gold coins from the Roman Empire still store the same amount of gold…
And since the turn of the millennium, since fiat money printing really geared up…
Gold has gold up almost 8X…
Compounded annually at 9.2% rate of return…
So you can see it is the only money people turn back to time and time again.
Gold is the bridge to preserving your wealth, and maintaining your ability to participate in trade anywhere in the world.
As the lane of the narrow, debt-driven dollar closes, think about gold.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming release, we’re purposefully putting a package together to hedge you and your family against the dollar’s world-size debt bubble using gold.
Stay tuned.
