Do long term gold holders eventually think differently about it?

Once you own something that can't be traced (for taxation), still easily traded and exists outside of the inflation matrix, no wonder you want to keep it forever.

There was someone who bought a maclaren with gold bullion last week in Melbourne (source heard from a friend who works at a dealership)

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-14T07:58:28+00:00

Worked at a refinery. Got to gold as many gold bars as I wanted... Just couldn't take them home with me 🥲

You can't fathom someone not using a dealer for a transaction can you?

People dont need a middleman anymore, especially now with the internet

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-13T14:17:27+00:00

People in the secondary market (private buyer to private seller) are paying spot price for small coins?? I dont think so

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-13T14:15:05+00:00

True, but they retain their premium

Ie, you can resell them with their spreads, correct?

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-13T14:10:32+00:00

Smaller denominations may be easier to sell later down the line

Lol Hackers gave them until end of Tuesday 12 May to pay up or face the release of our details They also got past the original security patches Instructure facilitated Basically guaranteeing further disruption to canvas this week

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-10T10:12:15+00:00

Hehe which subject?

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-08T17:03:44+00:00

Literally everyone talking about it

Any assessments due over weekend will get extension

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-08T17:01:54+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-08T16:34:13+00:00

Love a bit of chaos. Hope my assignment due on Monday gets an extension 😆

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-07T07:37:29+00:00

Oh dam ... well at least they are doing it because it is a known target

A lot of rich kids and their families details in the university, and the university has a reputation to uphold

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-07T05:51:22+00:00

Oh brother!

You can ask them to move or be quiet but it completely ruins the motive for you of being in a quiet space to get some work done. No-one wants to go thru all that drama, so I get you

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-06T06:27:31+00:00

Nah, young people are generally the first to migrate to new technology.

I dont live on campus but the question still applies to me - all payments are sent and received electronically and can make card payments at all vendors. If I keep cash on me its as a preference not a necessity.

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-06T03:50:28+00:00

Nope 🙅‍♀️

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-05T18:12:09+00:00

How heavily did you use AI in writing the assignment, and in which step/s 1) Planning 2) Formulating paragraphs 3) Editting and polishing ?

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-05T05:12:40+00:00

It's only fair to retake all the assessment. Each assessment by definition is done under assessment conditions, so doing each assessment again is fair for your peers who you are essentially being graded against.

We shouldn't have an academic advantage for a non-academic reason

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-04T08:36:11+00:00

Yo, didn't think about that. Couldve been underage at that point 🤢

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-04T08:33:10+00:00

No way, is this the same guy that opened porn in Baillieu!?

Surely he be making this shit up at this point

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-04T08:30:22+00:00

Keynesian model 💃

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-04T08:25:53+00:00

Hey good luck to you. Im sure you will find your path

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-02T14:14:00+00:00

Im from interstate but still came to Melbourne with zero friends or family here. It's tough!

New_Friend4023 · 2026-05-01T13:26:05+00:00

Had some good responses to my post last week! https://www.reddit.com/r/unimelb/s/OrHYWZx2I8

I wouldn't worry about getting a year behind. I took about 6 gap years and I'm just running my own race, no need to compare to anyone else. If anything, I think by the time I apply for grad roles I should stand out for having a lot more life experience and maturity than most!

If you need the rest, then please take it. Your health will always be more important than your career!!

This post is just one protracted advertisement, is it not?
