It's pointlesa

Now the FED wants to lower interest rates on loans to 0% so organizations who take federal loans can pay off their debt faster and get money circulating.

Gold standard is an autistic take on money

i knew it
the skeleton wars have begun

ninja it's metal or fiat

gold also doesnt corrode or tarnish naturally, making it naturally long-lasting

you'd rather have fiat?

we currently use monopoly money

We cannot have the current economy based on gold standard.

Yes

Monopoly money is fine

Because money has the value we give it

Gold or otherwise.

Changing the backing of a currency doesn't change the fact it has no real value.

Gold is seen as valuable because its just rare enough and naturally long-lasting and untarnished

Also, Burma (myanmar) wants to create a unified asian currency as its the least inflated asian currency by uniting the gold supply of the asian currencies under its own. Sort of like an Asian Equivalent to the Euro but backed by a gold standard.

Bit coin has nothing backing it but autism Tax Man

Nothing has to back a currency

bitcoin is self backed

bitcoin is like gold

and it crashes like a motherfucker

Its got a limited supply and no more will ever be made

It crashes from Money Rushes

In the 19th and 20th century we realized value is something humans give stuff

Rather than something inherent to things.

Which is why fiat works fine.

People sit on bit coin till it reaches peak value, then rapidly rush the trade to convert it to cash like a bank rush during the stock market crash

actually we knew value was given since the fucking greeks

Sure fiat is exploitable.

fuckers going blah blah value of currency I'm just trying to get a job

Joker become a trucker.

we switched to fiat so the FED could game our currency and keep printing money

But better it be manipulated by anyone than just manipulated by governments
