If we look at the state of the black community, we see a lot of predatory businesses around us to exploit us and the situation we are in. You have payday loans, auto title loans, pawn shops and more. But you also have charlatans and jokers claiming they financial/economic gurus with the master plan for black economics - how many years they been saying that?

I have a lot of “prepper” friends up in age with me and you know what they did when they turned 50 and 60s? They opened up a pawn shop with the sign “Cash for Gold and Guns” and there it is – Cash, Gold and Guns. You go on YouTube and you can search for nationalists and preppers peddling silver as a way to prepare for a market crash and deflation. Do you realize they created a whole marketplace exchange of buying and selling precious metals based on speculation?

In our community, we may not have realized it but the US government has created a precious metal asset – an investment grade bullion coin with a limited run and supply we can leverage in many ways within our own community to better hedge ourselves against the upcoming post-COVID recession and depression. In this article, we are going to discuss that asset that was created that we can leverage for ourselves and show the opportunities we can start engaging in right now to create stability and resilience among our people in our communities.

2017 American Liberty 225th Anniversary Gold Coin

To honor the 225th Anniversary of the United States of America, the US Mint commissioned a gold coin with a modern rendition of Liberty as an ADOS sista. No, not a woman of color or a minority woman or a BIPOC or whatever, the coin featured an American Descendant of Slavery black woman. The coin is 99.99% 24–karat gold which is as solid as gold as you get in the world today. No black civilization in history or any existence had a coin minted like this of this quantity and quality material but ADOS; keep that in mind because it gets better.

There are two version of this coin. A smaller version is an 1/10 ounce that is trending towards $300 as the price change with the gold market. Then there is the full one ounce that trending towards $2500 that comes with a booklet. Now, there is a one-ounce silver medal version of this coin that is pure silver and you can find on eBay for under $100. These investment-grade coins, especially the one-ounce gold coin is very beautiful to look at and awesome holding it in your hand.

These gold ADOS Liberty coins had a limited run where the 1/10 ounce has 135,000 minted with a current market cap of $40 million and the full one-ounce has 100,000 minted with a current market cap of $250 million. At this point, you should be figuring something out about now where we going with this. Because obviously these YouTube financial guru clowns didn’t bring this ADOS Liberty gold coin up because they talking up Bitcoin and we got these other fools out here talking about Forex and some of yall sitting up here buying real-estate hustles and losing your money playing with these fools – what have you just figured out at this junction reading so far?

This coin should be claimed by the black community to leverage gold as an investment grade asset to establish resiliency and new financial models within our community. Why are we talking about some Bitcoin and Forex when we have a true investment-grade black woman on 24k 99.99% gold commissioned by the US government as a solid asset to handle things within our community?!

Update: The 1-ounce coin cost $1640 when released in 2017. It now cost $2450 to acquire and sells on eBay around $2250 - this is actually a nice investment coin here!

Understanding the Role of Gold and Precious Metals

If you look at the silly black folks talking up Forex and Bitcoin, most of them are basic and broke and portraying hard the role they handling money and making money. They be on the Internet gaslighting me and you like they handling stuff. But that’s not the economic reality of the black community and the Bitcoin/Forex clowns are just trying to engage in financial escapism pretending they living it up. In 2020, there is problems with Bitcoin and Forex they are not telling you about. Let’s talk about what happened now COVID-19 and the huge tens of trillions of dollars stimulus package was put out there.

Everybody Went to Gold and Silver. The rich is scared as hell, go to YouTube and watch the videos. When Jerome Powell stated he is going to print money, they wanted to put their money somewhere solid because they are scared the US dollar is going to collapse under the debt weight. Bitcoin is weighted against the US Dollar and Forex is also weighted mostly against the US Dollar as well, so the only option was precious metals.

The Hustlers Don’t Actually Own Bitcoin/Forex. You and I know these brothas and sistas do not have a foreign repository vault setup somewhere where they count foreign money and settle it like Travelex. And they don’t even own the keys to the actual Bitcoin, they likely have an off-chain Bitcoin wallet fronting like they part of the real Bitcoin network. So these cats are virtual and pretending they about something real to me and you.

They Cannot Liquidate. I had this happen to me and this probably happen to you. Those cats in their 20s and 30s talking up Bitcoin and Forex, guess what? They got laid off their gig economy job during the coronavirus lockdown and had to apply for unemployment and guess who they call when the electric bill and rent is due? They calling me and you to help them out. I thought their Forex and Bitcoin got them some cash in their pockets. But they could not liquidate anything out of those virtual accounts and we realize they were just playing a game all along, no real funds or assets to liquidate when the situation calls.

Now if you look at gold and silver which is what the preppers and the rich are playing with, they have their own reasons to have a gold stashed in a vault somewhere or have a stash of silver dollars in a safe in Far Cry 5 Hope County Montana.

Gold Will Never Go to Zero. Unlike your real estate hustle where you lost money or that so-called school for black boys and you lost money or that social networking platform that never came about you gave money too - if you had just bought gold, you would have never lost more than 15% - 20% of your original investment. Gold is always wanted by someone else and it is an industrial demand for gold as well. This makes gold a “safe haven” for those looking to make sure they don’t lose everything if they put money into something, unlike those folks still waiting on that Garvey Douglas school – where your money at? Where that school at? LOL.

Gold Can Liquidate Fast. If you had a US Mint gold coin, you have plenty of places to get cash immediate at spot prices. Some of yall black folks run out and buy saving bonds and that is hyper-stupid because you buying US Debt with a maturity date of several years. You could have spent that same amount of money on a US Liberty gold coin and cash out anytime you need to and hedge it against your own financial uncertainty when the time comes.

Gold Appreciate in Value. Bitcoin is a gold wannabee where it can spike but it cannot hold itself up there at those levels. Gold can and have spiked and held itself up at high levels, this is why I stated earlier about the gold coins above, they were cheaper six months on the US Mint site, they cost more now and more valuable and solid now. No forex currency increase/decrease like that, people just playing with nickels and dimes and talking smack over the Internet – you never heard anyone in a black barber talk about forex like that, did you? But hey! – don’t go around barbershops running your mouth about your gold either.

Now there is some obvious problems with gold I know you are aware of. The first is safekeeping, if you lose your gold, someone else got it and can cash it out. Second is the premium which is the excess charges above the spot price which includes storage, transaction fees and more of the gold – but this is not a bad thing; these premiums is what will drive economics within a black community if we adopt these coins as our coins to run asset-backed strategies among ourselves.

Acquiring, Handling and Leveraging ADOS Liberty Gold

The ADOS community can claim this gold coin and we can do some awesome things right now in terms of black economic resiliency and empowerment. First, black folks got to buy it and we claim it – meaning, we acknowledge this coin as an asset to do business in the hood. You know something – there are a lot of fake American Liberty gold coins and even fake gold 1-ounce bars made in China sold around and hard to tell if they real at these coin/metal shows and shops. But they have not and there is zero evidence of any fake ADOS gold coins – maybe they just weren’t interested. But this gives us a hyper-advantage to claim a real solid investment-grade gold coin for us to use for us.

My personal recommendation is for the majority of the black community to buy the 1/10-ounce gold coin currently at $295 because it is easier to liquidate and cheaper to acquire multiple ones. The smaller coin (and it is small) is easier to stuff away and you can liquidate one or two for a $300 emergency instead of run to a pawn shop and get 20% of what you paid for your kids PlayStation or Xbox you trying to pawn.

The full ounce coin at $2500 should be for business grade or serious events such as needing rent money or bail money or having to generate cash to expand inventory in a hurry or leverage as an asset-backed loan. Now, listen to what was said here – we are moving black folks away from pawn shops, title loans and other predatory lending scheme and teaching them to invest in a $295 coin to hedge against their own emergencies and financial situations if they occur in the future. That alone, changes a whole dynamic of the black community.

Be mindful of one thing – if someone comes around with that ADOS Liberty gold coin – you know it came from a brotha or sista and will be handed to another brotha or sista in that same community or another community because we claiming it as our asset. That means something in terms of having value and that is exactly what will happen when we buy up these gold coins for us – we as a black community instantly created a value standard among ourselves to leverage and do business with each other.

I want to give a rundown on some tips on buying and handling these ADOS Liberty gold coins.

Order Directly from USMint.gov While I don’t believe there are counterfeits of the ADOS Liberty coin at this time, it is better to get your gold from the source. You don’t know if you get it somewhere else and someone play you such as order online and you get an empty box or bricks like cats did with buying iPads online and got a box with a piece of wood inside. Only alternative from USMint.gov is physically look for authorized coin collectors who probably got these ADOS Liberty coins just sitting in a corner in their shop and will be shocked to see you come in and want one because no one asked for it before.

Have the Package Shipped at UPS/FedEx to Pick Up. I had an incident where I believe the delivery person knew the package content and lied about it being delivered. Luckily, I quickly called the hotline when I got the fake “delivered” email update about the package being delivered and they saved my package from the driver and told me it was waiting for me at the place to sign for. So don’t have the gold coins sent to your house – have the package go directly to the nearest UPS/FedEx processing center and you drive there and sign for it and physically pick it up.

Deciding Where to Store Your Gold. We kinda talking coins so you can hide them anywhere. You don’t need a safe and you know that’s where everybody going to go first from the thugs to the DEA. For the average black household with 1 or 2 $300 gold coins, they are smaller than a dime in size so you can just put them in a closet or coat pocket – just don’t give your coat to Goodwill because there are plenty of true stories of Goodwill finding gold coins in coats donated to them. For the bigger $2500 coin, if you have a safe deposit box, that would be a great place, but I would not recommend keeping that coin around the house because you need it if the house burn down, person living with you start going through your stuff if you get pulled over and locked up – I think you get the picture.

Trade Your Gold Coin to Liquidate. This is exactly why we need the black community to buy these gold coins for. We don’t want any of you pawning jewelry and stuff paying a monthly fee trying to get your stuff back or get caught up in a payday loan or title loan trap. You got $300 somewhere right now, especially if you had that extra $600 on your unemployment benefits. Then when you get in to a crunch and need to liquidate, you have a marketplace to just “cash in your chips” meaning just give the coin up and take the cash. Your coin will be bought by another black person in your community to secure their situation so you just transfer your security net to another brotha or sista who also don’t have to pawn anything and trade in that coin.

I hope you seeing the big picture here especially with that last point I just made. Buy having this $300 gold coin that is worth it weight, will never depreciate to zero you created a stored value instrument to help each other out in our community using collective economics and local fiscalism.

Creating Awesome Business Opportunities Around ADOS Liberty

If you look at the e-commerce picture above, what do you see as elements? Let me help you out. First, you should have noticed the $3,100 price tag this seller is marking up over the $2490 price of the US Mint, $600 markup on the coin – it isn’t rare yet. But here is what you should notice – look at the shape of the container – it is shaped like a gold bar, isn’t it? These containers can have a tamper-proof seal on them where you can tell if someone opened it. In essence, what you looking at is a coin dealer turning this ADOS Liberty gold into a “product” that they can distribute and sell in the marketplace under their brand just like PAMP Suisse gold bars that are packaged.

Notice the label have serial code, bar codes and other identifiers so they know it came from a specific merchant. This is a business or an entrepreneur who can sell these coins at coin trade shows, sell on the Internet or sell at a store with their packaging they get from Alibaba and put it out as a branded, trusted product. This is what the prepper folks do selling silver dollars and making a living – either they selling guns at a gun show or selling coins at a coin show somewhere while you all selling sneakers you bought at TJ Maxx on StockX, lol, yall so lame.

I want you to consider the following to understand the gravity of the opportunity here with incorporate the ADOS Liberty gold coin as our standard in our community.

MSB or FINCEN Reporting Threshold. Trading volume of gold coins in our hoods will not meet the $10,000 daily limit to be regulated as a MSB or report to FINCEN. Money laundering will be in place because the coins are “leveraged” and traceable and unique – these are ADOS liberty coins by the US Mint and the 1/10 size is not even worth the effort to melt into a belt buckle to smuggle into Japan or Dubai. At most you will need a precious metal dealer license which just requires paying the local police department $20 bucks to register your business. But in most states, coins are exempt from precious metal licenses so check your local codes.

Market Exchanges. We can build market exchanges looking like Nasdaq and NYSE in our own hoods to buy and sell gold coins and we trade them just like any other commodities. We trade not only ADOS Liberty but other gold and silver metals and platinum as well.

Layaway Payment Plans. Someone can offer a family a $290 gold coin for $30/month for 10 months to purchase the gold in monthly installments. The gold can be stored at an intermediary vault. For $5 extra/month, that household can use the gold coin in an emergency but have to pay an extra fee.

Asset-Backed Crypto. Because of the uniqueness and rarity of the ADOS Liberty gold coin, it can serve the same purpose as Bitcoin but as a “stable coin” digital asset backed by a solid physical asset that will never go to zero.

House of Gold. Someone can start their own “house of gold” and create the “product” just like the image above and be a trusted dealer in gold coins where they can verify their own product for free if it is exchange and sold throughout the community. They can test the code and re-package it and run their own blockchain ledger to show chain of custody to verify sellers to buyers. They show up at trade shows or run tables at barbershops/salons to get people interested in buying their curated collection of gold coins to leverage in the hood.

Do you understand what was just explained here? What we explained was “the premium” or the additional costs to handle the ADOS Liberty gold coins within our own community that are highly scalable entrepreneurial ventures. People have to pay to store their gold professionally. People may want to pay $3100 instead of $2500 to get their gold from a dealer they can trust and reputable. The trade price at market comes with settlement fees – everybody get their hands on the “premium” and make a little money here and there as we move this unique piece of gold throughout our community as new models of financial business ventures.

In summary this is what’s going to happen – this article is going to be read by a lot of folks. The ADOS Liberty gold coin is real, it is limited and it is unique. That means while you reading this casually, folks are going to start buying these coins up and probably drive the price up due to demand on the aftermarket – notice there are no silver dollars available at the US Mint, they sell out fast as soon as they release some for sale because of the demand for silver dollars among the preppers.

Let’s own this gold coin with an ADOS Liberty on the face, let’s turn it into an asset we get people in our own community to leverage as an asset to hedge against uncertainty and let’s build new markets, new ventures to create collective economics among ourselves. Well, you can sit there all you want because when someone type this coin in Google, see this article – they going to start hoarding this coin like toilet paper and you going to miss out on this gold mine that we can definitely use to our means and ends.
