## Resource

Gas prices spiked amid geopolitical turmoil, but gold- and silver-backed spending via modern fintech is giving families a practical hedge and new payment choice. Kevin and Marnie Freeman, with Mike Carter, explain how states like Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Utah are advancing legal frameworks to recognize gold and silver as usable money. They outline the tax, trust, and sovereignty benefits of “transactional gold,” why it’s not a CBDC, and how bipartisan momentum is growing nationwide. Learn how state-level legal tender initiatives, vaulting, and debit-card technology can turn stored value into everyday purchases while protecting financial freedom.
