# Use XAU As The Base Currency

XAU means 1 ounce of gold. It worked thousands of years ago, it wo
rks now, it will work thousands of years later. But USD didn't exi
st centuries ago and EUR didn't exist even decades ago.

Also gold has an esoteric meaning (think of alchemy) but fiat curr
encies and cryptos don't. I don't know, maybe cryptos like $XRP an
d $LINK would have it too because of the schizo believers lol. Sil
ver has it too, but silver reacts with sulfur. Thus silver is not
that eternal and noble like gold. Gold is the most refined state o
f matter in Hermeticism.

And if you check about XAG / XAU (XAG is 1 ounce of silver), silve
r is not truly an inflation hedge. It is specialized for apocalyps
e though, but in that case food and tools will work as currencies.
If you can use silver as a currency, gold would work well too. So
just get gold even if you prepare an apocalypse.


Currently 1 USD = .0004915 XAU. Just round it up and use .5 mXAU.
mXAU means milli XAU. By the way, currently (2024-02-08)

1 XAG ~ 11 mXAU
1 BTC ~ 21.4 XAU
1 ETH ~ 1.19 XAU

The data says that USD is a shitcoin in the long term. I'm nothing
against holding physical cash, but don't hold fiat more than you n
eed.

So if you see $30 then calculate 30 * .5 = 15 mXAU. If you see $10
00 then calculate 1000 * .5 = 500 mXAU = .5 XAU. Of course you can
calculate 1 mXAU (currently ~$2) first and just divide by 2, but I
don't recommend it because that calculation uses USD as the base c
urrency.
