The problem is this will not benefit the average Joe. 60 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck with almost no savings. They can't afford gold or even silver.
The 'people's gold' in Fort Knox is most likely not there--it was already stolen. The COMEX gold below the World Trade Center--stolen. Along with Gaddafi's gold, Ukraine's gold, Iraq's gold, etc etc. They're even getting Venezuela's gold back because that country is too broke to pay in anything else. Who owns most of the gold? Well, of course the same central bankers who own nearly everything else. The IMF owns 1/3 of the gold.
So $10,000 gold may benefit those who own gold, but for most people, life will be worse with more poverty and more government control.
