I'm curious Phat, if you were hurt in a serious accident or suffered a serious medical problem, would you tell the ambulance driver to take you to the nearest hospital for emergency medical treatment or to the nearest church for emergency prayer treatment (and why that choice)?
You people are doing Phat a serious disservice. Did you not pick up on the point the he paid a $3 transaction fee for his $100 worth of gold? And that he is now paying for a safe deposit box to store his gold? And that he'll probably pay another $3 fee when he sells his gold? Phat is giving up all his worldly possessions. He's just doing it very slowly.
