# Use XAU As The Base Currency

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

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

And if you check about XAG / XAU (XAG is 1 ounce of silver), silver
is not truly an inflation hedge. It is specialized for apocalypse
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
need.

So if you see $30 then calculate 30 * .5 = 15 mXAU. If you see
$1000 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 currency.
