Where would that be that I don’t have to purchase and pay taxes on to hold?
Sure, that's one unavoidable cost for living in the US, although there are some places with extremely cheap property taxes. I have an aunt that pays $500 a year for 130 acres in LA.
There are some Caribbean countries that don't have any property taxes. And some other random countries around the world.
I'd rather pay a couple grand a year in property taxes than live in any of those places though.

and all with money that’s value is determined by trust in the system, not gold, or silver, but trust in the system we’re all living and in a mutually assured collective destruction if it all fails.
I honestly don’t understand why money backed by gold is better.
Gold is universally valuable because everyone agrees that it’s valuable.

Individualism is radical and dangerous, but conformism is just being a good citizen.
Some of your points are good, but this is way off. We have probably the most individualistic society on the planet. Ironically, people try so hard not to conform that they end up conforming because trying hard not to conform is the norm.
