Goldbugs make up a fervent community. Most are *doom and gloom* and many conspiratorial (gold is *suppressed*!). All goldbugs are from the [Austrian Economic](http://mises.org/) school of thought. I don’t think fiat money is headed for zero; I do speculate a meaningful currency debasement crisis on tap for perhaps later this decade. Goldbug sites are ubiquitous. And they’re like alcohol: don’t drink too much.

Upon putting this list together, I am surprisingly disappointed with the quality and how few sites I dare put into the toolbelt.

*ISA*is looking for the [Dow:Gold ratio](http://www.macrotrends.org/1378/dow-to-gold-ratio-100-year-historical-chart)to head to somewhere near 1:1. The exact ratio (0.5:1 or 2:1) is dependent upon policymaker response. But that is just a guess…weal C.
