I'm gonna sit back and watch it all unfold.

Peter Tosh - The Day The Dollar Die
I see Johnny with his head hanging down Wondering how many shillings left in that pound Cost of living it is rising so high Dollar see that have heart attack and die
Bills and budgets are waiting Finance ministers anticipating Unemployment is rising And I hear my people, they're crying
The day the dollar die Things are gonna be better The day the dollar die No more corruption The day the dollar die People will respect eachother The day the dollar die
Tell me brother Is there something I can do Don't you let frustrations make you blue
Time is hard And I know that is true But if you pick yourself up That's all you've got to do
Things can be much better If we can come together Long time we been divided And it's time we be inited
The day the dollar die Gonna be better The day the dollar die I won't need no pockets The day the dollar die Don't have to be frettin' The day the dollar die
Now I see you standing on your feet And you can also make two ends meet Never you let life problems get you down There is always a solution to be found
Bills and budgets are mourning Finance ministers groaning Unemployment is rising And I hear my people crying from the ghetto
The day the dollar die It's gonna be nice The day the dollar die Just you wait and see The day this here dollar die There be no more inflation The day the dollar die
I say the day Danny dollar die The day Sammy dollar die We will love eachother I said the day this a dollar die Fight some inflation

BTC is just so fucking unstable right lately though.
the only thing backing gold is the value that people place on it, the same thing that's backing the dollar, all values are based on confidence

"In God We Trust" was added to money around the 1950's (around the same time Christian groups began lobbying to put in the 10 commandments in courtrooms) to add a sense of morality or something.
People say it's just a bunch of words, but can you imagine how many people would go apeshit if our dollar said, "There is no God at all."

Since nobody is confident in that particular currency it's going down in value.
LE POINT: it's going down, amg, down!

Merry christmas qman.
because of it's desirability, people placed a value ion it long ago, still do and always have, the problem is it's volatile in the current market, I remember half the people here saying we should buy up gold only a year ago, I kept warning of the tipping point which was reached, gold is on the decline, the players are playing so you get minor rebounds but it doesnt stop the fall
if you bought 3oz at $1800 when everyone was clamoring for gold, you'd have lost the value of one ounce by now, sounds like such a worthwhile investment since the value is still based on consumer confidence and demand
