So cool. I love this custom made by Live Free Armory. Saw it on Goldbacks’ Instagram story today.

Those 'goldbacks' are so cringey.

Why do you say that? I think they’re cool. I’ve been spending them for a while here in Utah and they’ve saved me money and I got one free recently from a promo they’re doing. I have a good chunk of my savings in spendable gold and I’ve found nothing but positive use cases for them.

They give off a 'money would be so much better if it was sexier' vibe.
It's branding 101 and I thought we were past that level of bullshittery.

wtf are they?

Gold sheets with bill denominations printed on them. They’re alright if you want to buy small amounts of gold at a time, but absolutely useless as actual currency.
Generally they’re what you find in your grandpa’s safe after they pass and you can pawn them off for 80% their gold value at best.

That sounds awful. You can just buy bullion in small pieces.

They are not even good for buying small amounts of gold. You can just buy gram bars and other fractional bars at way better rates.
They are an alternate currency that pretends like it has the backing of the gold they are made from. I don't stack gold, but if I did, it would never be with Goldbacks.

It's funny how people agree that you can buy a gun because it's cool. However, if they don't find it cool, it's just cringe.
To each their own, I guess.

Yeah whatever. I wanted to post for those who think it’s cool. I thought it was so I shared! Oh well.
