  "map_content": "As the fraudulent monopoly money system gains more and more exposure, the \"real money\" propaganda has been getting stronger : \"gold is money\", \"gold has been money for more than 5000 years\", \"gold must be money as Central Banks are buying\", \"he who controls the gold controls the world\", and on it goes.\r\n\r\nExcept, that story is yet another heebie lie.  It has always been silver that is regarded as money, not gold.\r\n\r\nEvidence.\r\n\r\nMany, many languages use the word \"silver\" to mean \"money\", it is never \"gold\". French uses \"argent\" not \"or\". Both Spanish and Portuguese use \"plata\" and \"colloquial\" not \"oro\" or \"ouro\". Hebrew uses \"kesef\" not \"zahav\". Ancient Greek used \"argyrion\" not \"chrysos\".  Even the English \"pound\" is short hand for \"pounds sterling\", which is silver.\r\n\r\nThe Bible treats silver as synonymous with money, payment, price, wages, etc, be this with language of shekels or talents both always of silver.  Gold is always in an ornamental context, gold is a commodity, but it is not money.\r\n\r\nGold always entered into the monetary system by way of some sort of authoritarian decree.  One of the earliest examples appears to be Lydia, which was naturally rich in gold and electrum (gold-silver alloy) deposits. In around 630 BCE, the ruling dynasty started to produce coins in electrum. The silver content was being watered down with gold.  The populace was tricked into accepting these coins by the ruling dynasty stamping them (warranting the unit by decree) and accepting them back in taxation. The stamping was the equivalent of the \"full faith and credit\" terminology we hear today - trust us because we rulers are somehow superior...  The electrum coins meant that at this time, by decree, gold was now deemed to be equally valuable to silver.\r\nThe populace has fallen for this \"watering down of metal content in coins\" fraud or lie over and over again and today there is no silver in our circulating coins.\r\n\r\nAround 560 BCE, Croesus went further, establishing separate gold and silver coins, this time decreeing the gold coins to be worth 10 times the silver ones. \r\nAnd, how convenient. For the ruling class liked to go to war and behave with corruption. So, they were always at risk of running out of silver. Solution? The \"money printer\" of their time went burr... All that ornamental gold that they had been collecting while they were extracting true money, silver, was suddenly 10 times more valuable than that same silver, all done by decree. \"Trust us\".\r\n\r\nAnd, of the two metals, silver is vastly more useful. Incredibly valuable to the populace for it heals many diseases, not gold which was merely ornamental.\r\n\r\nSupply and demand. If the powerful continue to amass vast stores of gold - bullion - and stack it idly in vast vaults, is this supply suppression? If all that idle gold suddenly needed to find a use, what would its value be?  It wouldn't be zero because its ornamental nature is aesthetically pleasing, but, it is unlikely to be todays \"market price\".\r\n\r\nSome estimate that 85% of all gold ever mined remains today in \"wealth preservation forms\" - a wealth that only remains while the \"trust us\" lie is sustained.  99% of gold ever mined remains \"above ground\" not lost, rarely consumed, some uses but not very many and very few are causing the \"stack\" to dwindle.\r\n\r\nContrast this with silver.  Silver is routinely consumed. Why? It is genuinely useful. \r\nLess than 5% of all silver ever mined is sitting in any vault.\r\nAdd in jewellery and ornamental uses and the estimates seem to range from 15-25% of all silver ever mined remains \"above ground\" - a whopping 75-85% consumed.\r\n\r\nThe irony is that the claim \"BTC is digital gold\" can then be said to be correct. For the moment the populace becomes aware that gold is not money, rather it is an enslavement/control trick of the powerful, gold becomes worthless.  Same for BTC - when the majority figure out it is nearly useless!\r\n\r\nBSV by contrast is seriously useful. It is potentially the genuine digital money. Potentially, because, the uptick in its use has only just commenced and this use needs to grow much more.\r\n\r\nTherefore BSV is digital silver, genuine digital money.\r\n\r\nSell your gold and buy silver.\r\n\r\nSell your BTC and buy BSV. \r\n\r\nThe world is awakening, becoming cognisant of the heebie lies, the flippening of both are close to a 100% probability - nearly inevitable.",
