I do try to nudge people who seem receptive in the right direction. But I've found if you get too far out in front of what they are willing to hear they will just shut down on you.

Excommunicating yourself from BAU/fiat currency while they are still functioning seems more than a little odd; they provide a supreme level of comfort and convenience. Not saying you shouldn't take steps to insulate yourself from BAU failing with land, gold, or whatever, but heck, as long as I can do my job and have little e-bits zip about causing some Chinese guy to make a kitchen knife, stick it in a box, and have it end up on my doorstep in a few days... dats good s****.

That said, no way in heck am I using those bits to buy a McMansion, fancy car, or other asset that is more likely to make me its servant, than I am to remain its master.
Yes we are, as we are,
And so shall we remain,
Until the end.

Amen to that.
