Hey Mr. Coye,
The following question is a thought exercise to possibly demonstrate to these yahoos the validity of storing wealth in forms more value-dense than peanut butter:
Would you, now or in the future, accept silver in trade for one of your fine knives?
And, for the record, I store peanut butter.
Absolutely.
I have accepted both gold and silver bullion as payment for my knives....
....and will continue to do so in the future.
