Once it’s known that you hold gold (physical possession; gold on paper ain’t worth the ink), you will be a target for sure.

By whom? And how will they know?

"By whom? And how will they know?"

Following the inference in the original post, when you use physical gold to make a purchase, you OBVIOUSLY have gold.

Now; those who see you purchasing, know who has gold. Simple enough.

I wouldn't spend a farthing in the Inner City of any major metro area, and expect not to become a target of the "Have-Nots", would you?
