I remember the famous Y2K " scare " , and how every one was saying how important gold was going be to the point , that major hoards were made since paper money was not going to be available [ the atm would not work ] , and even having cigarettes as alternative currency , and stuff like that . I was afraid , until it hit me ==== you can not eat gold , or go to the gas station and give a double eagle to fill up the car ---- it simply did not make sense . the world was coming to the end , and if you had gold you were going to be ok [ crazy ] so I stopped worrying the 2000 year came , and went . now if you are talking about tulips let me tell you ........ just kidding .
