The gold standard for sure

anonymous · Answer

This is why people are investing in gold. Because the value of the dollar is decreasing, the value of gold is not. So say 1 dollar is now worth 75 cents. X amount of gold would still be worth the original dollar value. So, you can prevent the value of your hard earned money from decreasing.
