    What is the difference between gold and pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents printed on them?

    To make the pieces of paper you just had to cut down a few trees that will grow back if left alone], while to produce the gold you had to poison an entire watershed with cyanide.

    At least you can wipe your ass or start a campfire with dollar bills. Ever try to make an arrowhead out of gold?

    Any form of money only has the value assigned to it by illusion. When illusion evaporates so does money.

    @ Crazyhorse. I do not know about the horse, but you sure seem crazy. Ever tried to make a supercomputer with stones? This question makes as much sense as yours. A tip- look for the science of gold.pdf in the serach field at goldmoney.com. You may learn a thing or two.

    Plus yeah, gold is a resource when it’s f%$#ing used, not stored in a hole. Finished goods, yo. Gold is exciting where its wonderful properties are put to use. For everything else, it makes me feel wanker-bankerish.

    @Crazy Horse > Any form of money only has the value assigned to it by illusion. When illusion evaporates so does money.

    Sure, money is a purely shared-psychology kind of influence (as opposed to being threatened with a gun). But “illusion” is the wrong word .. “convenience” is the more accurate word. Units of money are tokens of influence. As a token, money is merely a convenient way of tracking who has how much influence. It bypasses having to go to the trouble of actually threatening people (or offer blow jobs, or use barter or whatever other way to influence people is available). The difference between fiat and gold is that fiat allows influence to be transferred from the people to the center of authority at a whim merely by creating masses of it. Gold is a product of nature and the influence of gold can’t be manipulated by creating more physical gold. (However, we’re so used to existing in the world of the imagination that promises of gold on paper appear, to some people, appear to be gold itself.)

    So, really .. when money’s convenience evaporates, so does the money. And the mass printing of fiat as theft destroys its convenience.
