The Goldstack Strategy: The Tactical Role of Bullion in a Sovereignty Plan
The insurance policy for risks you won’t see coming—until it’s too late.
Hi, I’m William Devane…
…and now is the best time to buy gold.
Just kidding.
This article isn’t about huckstering coins because the world is ending. I don’t believe paper money is vanishing tomorrow. I don’t believe in $TRUMP coin meme madness. And if you’ve been reading The Long Memo, you already know my take: at the core of fiat currency lies a compact of trust.
That’s the problem.
We are living through a systemic erosion of trust—in markets, in institutions, in the very mechanisms that govern global finance. That erosion is why precious metals—specifically physical gold and silver—belong in your sovereignty toolkit. Not because civilization is collapsing, but because systems are becoming unreliable.
This isn’t about the apocalypse. It’s about optionality.
And no, not all bullion is created equal. Nor are the vendors who sell it. If you’re serious about engineering a life outside brittle systems—whether you're planning to live abroad, diversify jurisdictions, or just sleep better at night—then yes, gold and silver play a role.
Let’s walk through what to buy, how to buy it, and how it fits into the broader architecture of Borderless Living.

Why gold isn't an investment—and why that makes it more powerful
The only four coins I trust when systems fail (and why purity isn’t everything)
The gold stacking strategy that works quietly over time—without raising flags
How to store your metals across jurisdictions, without triggering audits
What to avoid: meme coins, ETFs, paper promises, and sovereignty theater
When gold becomes spendable—capital flight, grey zone deals, and systemic breaks
How to structure your stack to bypass seizure, scrutiny, and system defaults
Why smart sovereigns don’t hoard gold—they position it
This isn’t financial cosplay. It’s the metal you move when everything else freezes.
If your gold stack can be tracked, seized, or delayed, it’s not a hedge.
It’s just heavy.
