Yeah, if I found like a hundred thousand in cash, it wouldn’t get into a bank account, I’d just be buying groceries and retail purchases in cash for a long time, and saving the money I would have spent normally. Maybe asking places to make change so if the serial numbers get noted, things get spread about a bit.
In the short term it’ll certainly suck but long term it’d probably end up being better for everyone, the problem with the fed is both a short term and long term problem. While groceries may get expensive for a couple years it’s unlikely theyd be nearly as fluctuate as they are now simply cause the states would be incapable of doing nearly as much stupid shit.
A single bar? Chip off a 50g piece, re-melt it, sell it to a jeweler or cash-for-gold place. Rinse & repeat with enough time inbetween and never in the same location twice, and always for cash.
Multiple bars will either require a multi year plan or more… professional means.
Same, but probably difficult to turn $10M in gold into spending money without someone noticing.

Imagine doing that 98 times
In the U.S., that would get you enough food for weeks!
Seriously. Loaded up on groceries this weekend, and total cost for 1.75 carts was well over $600
What the actual fuck is going on over there. My condolences
Just some minor societal collapse. Don’t worry, we’ll totally get better…
Honestly I’m hoping the feds collapse because frankly speaking they are the problem and I don’t see it getting better.
How much do you reckon groceries will cost then? From what I’ve seen, collapse brings neither groceries nor safety.

just everything being expensive because we pay the monetary price of the colonial wars our oligarch overlords enact abroad to enrich themselves
Don’t forget any home improvement tasks. Need your yard leveled? Landscapers would love to give a slight cash discount.
Tree needs taking down? Cash.
Tuckpointing a chimney? Cash.
Annoyingly, you can’t actually use “cash” cash for a cash down payment on a house. Mortgage lenders like to know where the money is coming from.
That’s why you bury it in the backyard and only use little bits at a time.
But then you risk some kid digging it up and turning it in to the authorities.
The cycle continues
How would you even go about turning a huge bar of gold into cash anyways?

I think it’s a case of ‘who you know’ in that line of work.
Ebay
Best store it where no one will look: in the woodburner. Dont tell anyone.
10M spend bit by bit takes more than a life time
Should be plenty then.
Definately. More than one needs for survival :D
It’s work, but the hourly rate’s not bad.
He could get it fenced for about 30-50% of its market value.
Exactly, even if he kept 1 bar any place he could legally exchange it will have to give the appropriate tax documents since its such a high amount
I thought gold was soft enough to be easily cut by a lot of other more common metals
True, but you would have to do it so slowly to avoid detection. Small pieces over years maybe decades to avoid detection
Still comes out to a lifechanging amount of money for most people, I would think. Maybe some bars left over for your descendants
