You are absolutely right, of course we should also take advantage of it. It would be silly to not use an opportunity, especially if it is going to be the future anyway. My point was more that the current "controversy" is nothing but conditioning the people to accept digital currency, which will eventually get controlled as well.
Just wanted to add that it might be a good idea to purchase gold or silver with cash using a fictitious name. If there is evidence that someone has purchased larger amounts of precious metals, that could be dangerous as well. Gold has been made illegal to own not so long ago and they do have the legal framework to take it away.
Really appreciate that you took the time to respond, dear Max. I know you a busy man. Thank you!
