Sound Money – Gold, Silver & Crypto Beyond the State
Details
Join Liberty Labs Toronto for our fourteenth meetup on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 7:00 PM near Yonge and Eglinton!
This month we’re talking about currency that doesn’t depend on government permission. Fiat money can be printed, devalued, and frozen. Sound money like gold, silver, and cryptocurrency is different. We’ll look at why people throughout history have chosen money the state doesn’t control, and what that means for personal sovereignty today.
We’ll discuss:
- Gold and silver as time-tested stores of value (physical ownership, premiums, storage, and practical use in Canada)
- Cryptocurrency as digital bearer money (Bitcoin, privacy coins, and self-custody)
- How government money actually works vs. money that can’t be inflated or seized by decree
- Real trade-offs: liquidity, volatility, legal status, and everyday usability
- Open floor for experiences, questions, and lessons from stacking metals or holding crypto
No sales pitches. No “number go up” hype. Just a practical, liberty-focused conversation about money you actually own.
What to expect:
- Open discussion and idea-sharing
- Complimentary appetizers
- Everyone who attends will receive a million-dollar Zimbabwe note as a fun take-home reminder of real value vs. fiat illusions
- Connect with 10-20 liberty-minded Torontonians
- Bring $20 and buy your first cryptocurrency!
Venue: Pickle Barrel (2300 Yonge St, at Yonge & Eglinton) right above Eglinton Station. Easy parking in the Yonge Eglinton Centre garage or nearby Green P lots. RSVP to save your spot.
Let’s talk about money that belongs to you, not the printer. See you there!
