RunToGold.com - viable daily currency
Reader comment on: Gold Value of Apartments Sinks

Submitted by jonahtrainer, Jan 5, 2008 00:31

This article is spot on because of technological progress Gold can now function as a viable currency in daily transactions (RunToGold.com). Because it is a more stable measuring stick for value we should use it instead of dollars, euros, yen, etc. It is the best currency available and far superior to any money substitute because it has no counter-party risk. Therefore, the value of condos in NY is plummeting as is evidenced by the gold/price ratio.
