Yes, paper money is a social fiction. It is only worth something because we all agree that it should be worth something.
And yes, it is easier to buy into this social fiction when something as powerful as a government is backing it.

But I have to ask, would anything else be different? Gold only has a value because we all agree that is does. Same with any other commodity.

The only alternative left would seem to be barter. You pull out my abscessed tooth, if I give you these chickens. And we've tried that. It was too limiting. We need the possibility of credit, the liquidity that a fiat currency gives us.

You're saying money isn't real?  No way. I have some in my purse. I can hold it. It has value. If I give it so someone, they'll give me things equal to it's value.

How can that not be real?

It's not real, but, don't worry babe.  It's the Illuminati/Zion filling your head with magic pictures and symbols, that are like, FOUND EVERYWHERE...

A mere distraction, I'm afraid. These symbols have only been placed to prevent inquisitive minds from discovering the truth about the Yists.

Don't be stupid. The symbols are there to prevent counterfitting. The treasury just got the images from old buildings in Washington.

Yeah, everyone just make flippant comments and ignore the well-structured counter-argument. :rolleyes:

OMG you're the first person to complain about paper currency on the internet! Congrats. Start talking about gold and silver and you'll really fit in here.

new currency backed up by a reputable entity that values it's printed money by certifications of gold, silver, and various other metals that are in economic demand.

im just speaking in terms of principle of course, i don't/wouldn't/couldn't know how it would ever play realistically.

but if it was done right the first time. money wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is today.

I never claimed to be. But I as I am young and learning, i enjoy getting opinions and insights on such a relevant issue in america, though it may be a fundamental flaw already foreseen by those who critically think.

Your post is pretty counter-productive and bares no substance. Try actually saying something before play yourself as a bitch in front of everybody interested for discussion. Please and thank you.

Great. Sexism, now? Real clever

Money is real because I can use it to buy real things. End of story.

So what would the practical difference be between a metal-based currency and the currency we have now?

The Yists have their own agenda for metal. They need it to form the carapaces of their dero minions.

I think paper money is fine, and what you posted is just a bunch of fear mongering.
