Remember When THe US Dollar Had A True Value?
    #19319121 - 12/23/13 11:40 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Look at these two old bills--one of them says 'in silver payable to the bearer' and the other says 'in gold coin payable to the bearer....




Take a look at the money now.  It says 'Federal Reserve Note'  and 'IN GOD WE TRUST'

:lolsy:  Man those fuckers sure pulled one over on the American people didn't they?  :rofl2::awesomenod::smug::highfive::rockon:

Yeah that ain't cool when The gold standard was removed the U.S. Dollar became an IOU not funny at all.F.D.R. and R.M.N. both fucked us. Not to mention what Greenspan did with the stock markets with the Irrational exuberance statement.

Alan Greenspan would speak for an hour and speak a bunch of cockamamy horseshit that wouldn't mean anything.  he would basically say the market was going to go up, down, or stay the same, and fucking people bought that nonsense hook line and sinker.  Hell, that fucker cut a fart and the market dropped 300 points. :rofl2:

Yea it's pretty weird. I got a dollar bill a couple weeks ago in my change that was from the 1935 series. It was in really good shape as well. It was trippy to see on the bottom it said something along the lines of "this note is a promise to pay silver to the holder." I don't remember the exact wording...

I think having "in god we trust" printed on our money is so outrageous. I don't know how people that don't believe in god haven't really made an effort to get this changed. Or maybe they have, and the government and media refuses to acknowledge their requests. :shrug:

“[...]the only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,

desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

But krOnikO remember it says in god we trust it does not specify any particular god for all practical purposes it could just as well mean Odin or Zeus or any number of gods There are literally hundreds of gods people hold in reverence . So any half decent lawyer could strike down every argument against "In God We Trust" . The only people who would have a valid argument seems to me would be agnostics ,

gold and silver are mere metals, they only hold value to those that value
them, if I have no use for gold then what's it worth to me, a handful of
rocks, maybe a stick. these federal reserve notes work the same way, surely
instead of collecting cash you'd love to be paid in gold since the gold
market is dropping, the gold people hoarded a year ago is now worth about
$600 less per ounce, that's how your gold dust would look by the time you got
out the door with it. doesnt that sound spiffy, gold is losing value faster
than the dollar

I often wonder if being raised by a Federal Reserve executive was worth it, but his stories of trolling conspiracy theorists justified any partisan damage he instilled.

OP's so right on our money being hollow now though.

That's a very good point man.
Generally speaking now about politics as well as money. I just personally feel that religion shouldn't be involved in any way with those two things, but they always are. You get what I'm trying to say?

I dont see what the big deal is, a few words on money doesnt convert people
to religion, some folks seem to get worked up over a few words that have
little to no effect on anything

Pris, a good point but what worries me isn't the effect on confidence in capital, but rather whether the dollar itself is backed by anything that is substantial without regard to its collateral (namely gold and/or silver from cursory history lesson flashbacks and OP's stuff).

BTC is just so fucking unstable right lately though.

There are only about 6 billion ounces of gold on this planet. Times $1200/ounce = ~ $7 trillion for the entire value of all the gold.

The US operates a $16 trillion economy.

World GDP is around $85 trillion.

So backing any currency with the full faith and credit of $7 trillion worth of gold would be retarded. Maybe you should tell your hero Ron Paul about this.

That means that if you get a troy ounce of gold, you have more than your share per capita.

You do realize that there's always enough gold, it's just at what price. Maybe at $5000-$10,000 it works. The Chinese haven't been buying every ounce they can get their hands on for the past 5-10 years because they like the color, they are diversifying their reserves with gold, there is nothing "retarded" about that policy.

Not to mention the fact that gold ALWAYS had value in ALL major civilisations since 5000 BC, and the dollar only truly went fiat in the 1970s.

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





:rastafari:


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

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."

Pris, a good point but what worries me isn't the effect on confidence in capital, but rather whether the dollar itself is backed by anything that is substantial without regard to its collateral (namely gold and/or silver from cursory history lesson flashbacks and OP's stuff).

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




Since nobody is confident in that particular currency it's going down in value.

LE POINT: it's going down, amg, down!

Not to mention the fact that gold ALWAYS had value in ALL major civilisations since 5000 BC, and the dollar only truly went fiat in the 1970s.

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

I think she's confusing it with 1956 when Eisenhower declared it our national motto, but yes, she's still wrong.

Edit - 1908 is when it became mandatory to be put on all currency, right during the change from the "indian head" penny to the Lincoln one cent piece.
