On April 11th, 2018, I acquired my first MENE jewelry. I remember coming across a Steemit.com post by

I learned about this thing called "goldmoney" and about a company selling 24K jewelry at bullion price plus premium. "Whoa" I thought to myself. "This is huge."
I read more about this company called "MENE" with a line over the "E". I called it MEEN for a while, until I learned it was pronounced "Min-nay". Where have I heard of THAT before?
Perhaps you've heard the expression "the writings on the wall". According the Urban Dictionary:
When something becomes made clear, usually something bad. Signifies specifically figuring something out by reading between the lines of the situation. A realization that - once made - would be foolish to ignore. After that last financial meeting I can tell that the writings on the wall that they were going bankrupt. So I chose to find a new job as soon as I could.
We've heard the reports, fiat currency, quantum easing, (notso) Federal Reserve, debt ceiling. More and more, we read the writing on the wall that something bad will eventually happen with the USD and other fiat currencies.
Look, the guy's pointing to MENE! Image Source
The story is from the bible, when Belshazzar the king of Babylon hosted a massive dinner and brought all the gold and silver cups and plates plundered from the Temple in Jerusalem to boast in his Babylon's conquest. While they were feasting, disembodied fingers began writing a message on the wall:
It was a warning to the king that because he was exulting himself over the Most High God that his kingdom would be taken from him and given over the Medes and the Persians.
MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN means "Measure, Measure, Weighed and Divided". The word MENE (Measure or Accounted) is where we get our modern word for MONEY.
Oh man, this sounds like hyperinflation! When gold or precious metals are weighed, they always maintain their value. But when WEIGHING a fiat dollar as MONEY, it's value could be DIVIDED, becoming only worth the paper it's printed on!
As a society, we are pressured to move farther and farther away from gold and silver as money. Starting with silver and gold coins (money), then with issuing "silver certificates" as vouchers for real silver (money), then Federal Reserve Notes as "legal tender" issued by fiat, then paper checks between bank accounts, now Credit Cards and ePayments.
Now we have Bitcoin and alt-coins using the blockchain as an alternative to the Central Bank. We have gold jewelry for metal investments. Historically gold jewelry has been the preferred wealth preservation method, as it can be passed down from generation to generation and is not recognized as bullion bars or coins. Although a jewelry company and not an investment bullion company, MENE is specifically geared towards investment style preservation of wealth through physical possession of 24K gold and platinum in the form of jewelry.
Back to April of 2018. I bought an ear-ring (yes, just one ear-ring) for my wife. It took me a while to save up for the second ear-ring, but I'm glad I did because it was discontinued a few months later.

She opened the MENE box and was really tickled by the experience. It's our first 24K jewelry we've ever owned!
