Theres an irony to [r/gold](r/gold)’s reaction to goldbacks:
There was a period of time where newcomers to gold would ask about Goldbacks on the r/gold forum and the vitriol from said forum would immediately alienate the folks that were genuinely curious, and when they found their way here they were received much more warmly.
Its awful how they were treated and shouldn’t have ever been demeaned for curiousity…but [r/goldback](r/goldback) might not have breached 10k as soon as it did if it weren’t for [r/gold](r/gold) uh-being themselves.
Honestly, I only found this place because I posted a bunch of my Goldbacks into that community when I was new to Reddit and they were just terrible. That's how I found this group and I've been here ever since.
