It has a very fixed value

2019-09-26 16:39:25 UTC  

That is why it works

2019-09-26 16:39:29 UTC  

yeah, now that it's not used as the main currency

2019-09-26 16:39:40 UTC  

Modern Currency isn't backed up by anything it is simply an article of faith

2019-09-26 16:39:44 UTC  

go look at charts pre and post gold standard\

2019-09-26 16:40:14 UTC  

What you will quite clearly see is that gold standard is way less stable

2019-09-26 16:40:17 UTC  

If we brought back the Gold Standard it would make the economy much more stable because currency would actually be backed up by something

2019-09-26 16:40:32 UTC  

Goo look at the charts

2019-09-26 16:40:44 UTC  

because what you're saying just isn't the reality

2019-09-26 16:40:49 UTC  

it has already been tried

2019-09-26 16:40:59 UTC  

UK has tried to go back to gold standard

2019-09-26 16:41:18 UTC  

and it was a catastrophe

2019-09-26 16:42:19 UTC  

our current currency has a small degree of inflation most of the time

2019-09-26 16:42:24 UTC  

but it is _stable_

2019-09-26 16:43:02 UTC  

It would be more stable if currency was backed up by something, It doesn't have to be the Gold Standard but we should have the currency backed up by something, It is simply an article of faith if we don't

2019-09-26 16:45:36 UTC  

the problem with gold standard (at least if many countries apply it) is that the country with the most gold controls the worlds banks

2019-09-26 16:46:13 UTC  

its easier to crash the gold market than a currency

2019-09-26 16:47:08 UTC  

when greece defaulted its debt in around 2014 I remember I had a gold long order ... and it crashed the gold market

2019-09-26 16:47:21 UTC  

I switched to short and made about 10k over night

2019-09-26 16:47:59 UTC  

because the EU demanded they sell assets and gold reserves

2019-09-26 16:57:32 UTC  

brown gave away most of our gold

2019-09-26 16:58:37 UTC  

Didn't you give pretty much all of it to the US during WW2.

2019-09-26 16:58:51 UTC  

tbh... although it was a mistake... i couldnt blame him

2019-09-26 16:59:17 UTC  

at the time he sold it... it was well above its historic peak

2019-09-26 16:59:38 UTC  

he wasnt to know it would go much further to even triple what it was 😛

2019-09-26 17:13:55 UTC  

Tune in lads!

2019-09-26 17:13:58 UTC
