No, I beg to differ. Gold is not some fiat currency backed by the U.S. Gov’t (1). The US Dollar is.

> you’ve ever— and I mean EVER— examined precisely it is you are buying.

The same could be said about gold. Have you ever melted down the gold to check for impurities? I would hope that most people who invest in stocks or real estate would actually do just that. Investment is a much much different idea than just gambling by picking hot stocks. Haha I also haven’t used good ole Robinhood in several years...
