Many experts believe that the next stock market crash could spell the end of our economic system. This would be followed by a bankruptcy of the banks and a big crisis in the sovereign states. This scenario would put most of the world countries in unimaginable chaos. A bankrupted country means the end of pensions, allowances, and salary for all its population.

As in Germany in the 1920s, we risk rampant hyperinflation. If the financial system is destroyed, farewell the savings and investments in life insurance. The money would be worth nothing and ruined people will fight for a crust of bread.

Whatever the scenario, the consequences of a crisis would be much more disastrous than in 1929: nobody today knows how to plant seeds, harvest water or defend himself against burglars, preparing for this situation is surviving.

We have selected five defense investments that offer the most freedom and the biggest potential to protect your heritage in troubled times.

1. Gold

The ultimate store of value according to economists, it is reasonable to have 10% to 15% of your available capital in gold. It is advisable to invest in coins rather than bullions (easier to resell).

Jewels made with pure gold (24 carats) are also an interesting track. Indeed, several times in the modern economic history, countries have banned the possession and trade of gold: during the French financial collapse with Law in 1720, during the 1930s with the Roosevelt Decree (1933) and currently in India (2016-2017).

You can find pure gold bars in Amazon provided by Valacambi Suisse.

2. Silver

Silver is a very interesting metal. It’s both a precious and an industrial metal. It’s found in the manufacture of drugs, in water filtering, and in the mechanical components of some very specific areas such as space and robotics.

Many consider it today as very undervalued. To get an idea we use a simple indicator, the Silver/Gold price ratio. It is now 1 for 60 while it was 1 for 12 from antiquity until the early 19th century.

Like gold, silver is available in the form of coins, bars (100 g to 5 KG) and jewelry.

Bullion: 1 ounce / 500g / 1kg

3. Copper





Copper as a raw material constitutes a safe heritage and have many interests:

Its price and its availability

Its industrial utility: weapons, electrical material, electronic industry, building

Its past as a currency: historic subdivision since antiquity are gold/silver/copper

Easier to acquire and to store: its the currency of small trade and barter. Not dangerous to own, no risk to get slaughtered if you have to use it to buy bread or to barter!

This form of a store of value is very popular in the Americain survivalist circles. We can purchase it on several sites: in the ingot Swiss Switzerland or the American JM Bullion. They are also available for purchase on eBay and Amazon.

Here is 1 pound of pure copper.

4. Lead and Zinc

Lead is now used as a reference for armor manufacturing and for material / radiological protection. It’s a sought-after material during a nuclear disaster like in Fukushima. This metal is used for ammunition manufacturing, for hunting and for various defence gears.

Zinc is also an essential material to the industry. Essential means that it will be easy to barter if the need arises to in the case of a monetary collapse.

These materials (zinc and lead) are both in a process of depletion and therefore likely to see their course progress.

Here you can acquire lead and zinc lingots.

5. Bitcoin (The currency of freedom)

Bitcoin is a currency based on a cryptographic technology. It’s completely anonymous and very easy to use, this “Digital Cash” is by nature a huge counterweight to the state power. It’s been completely out of control of the governments hands since its first appearance.

You can find more information on the site of Bitcoin. You can also read “Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide From Beginner To Expert”, which explains how the different technologies (including Bitcoin) proposes an alternative path to traditional banks.

Bitcoin was used the first time on a large scale during the banking crisis in Cyprus in 2013 (passing the course of 15$ to 1000$ in a few weeks). After a sharp decline in 2014, the Bitcoin has a revival of attractiveness. We’ve seen a strong rebound in prices, driven by countries such as China and India. Bitcoin have a logical position in a defence estate because it will help you to protect your heritage in several types of situation:

In the case of a hyperinflation (1920 Germany)

In the case of a prohibition of detention and trading of gold (example: Roosevelt 1933 Decree)

In the case of a confiscation of properties by the state (Communism or fascism)

We can get it through many internet platforms such as localbitcoins.com and bity.com.
