OMG!! You should just kill yourself. If you dont like fait currency then dont use them. If you use them then your a hypocrite plain and simple. People are so stupid that they will follow anything they are told. Maybe you should sacrifice a virgin.
Tip: don't start your post with an insult. That was mean and unnecessary. If you're going to be insulting, you should at least be correct. You're not.
People fail to realise that using gold or silver makes a monetaty system more manipulable. Just look at what OPEC did in the 70s and oil is far more abundant than gold or silver. If a monetary system is only backed by metals then poverty increases. Over the last 90+ years poverty has fallen. People fail to realise that a metal backed currency can not expand to meet todays global economy.
You are suggesting that a gold/silver monetary system is "more manipulable" than a fiat paper system? That is incorrect. To manipulate gold markets, you must own gold or control stakes in gold markets via options, etc. One can certainly manipulate gold markets but it would be
immensely expensive to do so. Contrast this with manipulating fiat paper money markets... you must merely input zeros in your central bank computer system. It's free to do so. The US Gov't is perpetually manipulating the money system by printing dollars to purchase treasury debt (quantitative easing). The ECB is perpetually manipulating the Euro supply to buy the debt of failing member states. China is perpetually printing Yuan to help keep the currency devalued vs. the dollar to encourage exports. All these things happen
constantly and yet you want to claim fiat paper money is harder to manipulate than gold and silver money? Really?
If you want to play semantics we can. Most countries hold gold and silver in their national bank. The US Federal Reserve hold billions of dollars in gold and silver that belongs to the people. Just because you cant trade your dollars for gold and silver doesnt mean that its not backed by gold and silver. Just because it belongs to the people doesn't mean you can have access the item. For example, you cant go into the mayor's office of your city and use the computer in that office just because you want to.
The "billions of dollars of gold and silver" does not belong to the people, contrary to what they might tell you. It belongs to the US Gov't and/or the Federal Reserve System. The fact that you can't trade your dollars for gold and silver IS PRECISELY WHY it is correct to say they aren't backed by those metals. There is no backing of US Dollars by any commodity, period. Dollars used to be backed by gold... not anymore. Dollars are fiat... printed at whim and for the express benefit of the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve System.
Most people can only see one side to this issue. They are told one thing and thats all they know. They cant think about the other side. This makes those people simple thinkers with inablity to think critically.
On this point, you are correct.
