The idea of a parallel economy has been around for some time now. People talk about it, but it’s like Mark Twain’s comment about the weather: “Everybody talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.” There have been some who’ve gone the extra step of actually trying. I think Torba of
My hats off to Texas. Arkansas, too. They both will be far ahead of the 'game' if they can just tie up all the loose ends to normalize the use of gold/silver within the state for commerce.
I don't think those running things economically are simply idiots... (but some are). I think they are smart calculating thieves who have been running this criminal enterprise for decades. As George Carlin said, its all a big club and we're not in it.
I sent an email to my state senator just this past week to encourage him to begin considering the use of gold/silver as legal payment in all commerce within the state. I doubt it will go anywhere since the Northern Virginia tail is still waging the dog even with a Republican administration.
I have reduced my exposure to the fiat dollar about all that I can at this point. I won't go into detail, but at this point if the banks take a crap I won't loose everything. Maybe just a little bit. We still need dollars at this point to engage in the economy, so we will need them for a while longer. What we also can look forward to are newly hatched schemes to steal for themselves all the wealth they can identify as they become more desperate.
I am leery of digital currencies no matter who is handling them. Digital currencies are held by the string of electrical power and internet-based technologies. Thats a big risk, in my opinion.
Parallel economies will develop over time. (Many already currently exist around the world, most locally) Knowing what happened to both Kadafi and Sadam Hussein when they planned on how to get out from beneath the Dollar system I doubt this regime would allow states to do it. Texas might be the best hope due to their established manufacturing, refining, natural resources, and sea ports. Jeff Glodblum who played the famous mathematician In Jurassic Park in commenting as to how these supposedly sterile dinosaurs were reproducing said "Nature always finds a way". I think independent-minded people who love freedom and liberty will too.
My understanding is that the Texas gold depository is available to individuals.

If I was able to buy large amounts of gold and silver that’s where I’d put mine.

Hello Dear TLD.
Congrats to Arkansas, and good luck to Texas. I fear they will be punished,
or threatened. People are easily cowed, or are true believers, easily bribed
and if all else fails? they commit suicide. The peeps behind fiat dollars are
committed. Also they have endless resources, and loyal minions to carry out
whatever they are told to do. Sorry to be pessimistic.
Should any states prevail? Others will follow and then more. It will be grounds
for war or divorce. It would be a messy divorce anyway we cut it. It can't just be
independent $, but be a formal succession. Who has the brains to restructure?
Government workers, recipients of Federally funded benefits, IRS, SS, Medicare and
Medicaid will rise up in a rage. We are up against the big guns.
Fantasy: everyone receiving free $ and threatens/riots is kicked out of a given state
and a new worker only state is formed. I should stop. Fantasy is no solution.
