Goldboys: A Fictional Fragment by Easton Smith
By
Easton Smith
Summary
A fragmented, stream-of-consciousness narrative featuring a character called "Brother Dad" ranting about gold, fiat currency, and fungibility to "Dippy." The text is highly informal, profane, and appears to be literary fiction or experimental writing rather than a factual article. The excerpt shows Brother Dad complaining about amateurish people who don't understand gold's value compared to fiat money, using crude analogies about fish and sardines. The additional context suggests themes of sovereign individualism and anti-bureaucratic sentiment.

They didn't know a thing about fungibility and I said—I—I—I said fiat was going the way of fish, Brother Son, either extincted or overbred.
What the hell can you do with a sardine? Feed it to a coyboy, sure, but it won't buy you a single bean turd.
Can't a sovereign man live a goddamned second in his own house without a cunty bureaucrat knocking at his door?
