#4. To: jwpegler (#0) ALL fiat money systems in all of human history have FAILED. They ALWAYS will, because there is no intrinsic value to said currencies, and "trust me" just ain't gonna get it long term wise.
Fiat money systems are tools used by centralized power structures as a means of economic and political control.
Today an ounce of fine gold will buy about the same amount of goods that it would buy a hundred years ago, even though the dollar "value" of that ounce of fine gold has gone several orders of magnitude up through the roof.
This is a FACT of life.
Like gravity.
