Falling back on the old "you can't eat it", slobber and drivel is the ploy of those who simply can't afford the stuff.....to make themselves feel better in their self-perceived poverty. Note that I said, self-perceived. There is no shame in owning no "precious metals".

Otherwise, there is certainly nothing wrong with barter.....just quit dissing those who long ago had the necessity of food covered, and have moved on to more durable and permanent means to store their wealth.

And I don't own gold......
No shame in owning it, but it is an affront to God to trust in it.
