Two choicesLots of turmoil out there as we all know.
There is an area of concern that is being overlooked mostly because of all the attention being diverted away because of the military and poitical turmoil throughout the civilized and uncivilized world.
It involves currency failures.
If one looks past the headlines, there are some examples of this taking place right now. Egypt is ordering banks to stop the use of debit and credit cards as a means of converting to safer (subjective!) currencies, and or possibly gold.
Nigeria's currency is tanking big time.
Countries whose currencies are failing are not being left with many choices. If they are fortunate enough to have gold, they will either need to use it to sure up their currency, or, they can become even more reliant on the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry. That being the U.S. dollar.
Problem with that is who in their right mind would accept a failing currency in exchange for U.S dollars.
Then again, maybe some sort of crypto could save their butts.
