Which came first, the value of gold as a commodity or as money? In this scenario, it was clearly the value of gold as a commodity.
EricMcM,

Thanks for the interesting and stimulating increase in the supply of accurate literary currency here in this competitive forum market. I for one, demand it.

The effort to suppose principles, with my Gold miner illustration, is a case of gold being a commodity first, last, and always. The use of Gold as "legal tender", if you have my viewpoint understood, is an exploitive device, adding the use of falsehood, to gain leverage over a target audience, or a target consumer market. The addition of "legal tender laws" to the natural fact that gold is a very good free market currency, as a commodity first, last and always, is done, is added, falsehood is added, "legal" means are added, on purpose, for specific reasons, and the reasons seem clear to me as being the reasonable effort to eliminate competition in money markets (commodities or otherwise).

Reasonable from a criminal perspective, not from a victims perspective.

In other words: the addition of "legal" into the free market of currency is meant, designed, and carried out, by legal criminals, for the purpose of removing competition in money markets and thereby create and maintain a "legal" currency monopoly.

The idea behind that usurpation is to control the supply of legal tender, legal currency, and from that power to control the supply, the controllers can know in advance when specific prices will increase and when prices will decrease, therefore knowing when to buy, and when to sell, so as to exploit that advantage and gain economic power over their intended victims.

Furthermore; the illustration of basic principles concerning the free market use of commodities as currency intends to lead into an expose of the "business cycle" which is a natural step above the discovery and use of "legal" currency monopoly control (of the supply of legal currency so as to cause price fluctuations) since price inflation (of commodities other than "legal tender") doesn't offer a power to exploit without the change ('we want change") from inflation to deflation. Continuous "inflation" without any change toward "deflation" is useless as a criminal enterprise. The rate must change, and the criminals must know in advance when the rate changes, and the victims must not know.

Once on the deflation side of things, the power to exploit must be followed by another change to a condition of inflation (increasing the supply of legal tender above the supply of things legal tender is supposed to represent), and that up, down, up, down, up, down cycle empowers the exploitive personnel to sell at the top (because they know when the top will occur) and buy at the bottom.

The power of knowing is priceless. The powerful knowing personnel can grow very wealthy with orders to buy now, sell now, and then go on vacation. Buy now, when it is time, sell now, when it is time, and all the wealth in the world transfers to the powerful ones who control the supply of legal currency so as to create this "business cycle" dynamic.

The problem, which I can see clearly, and which the legal criminals must clearly see, if they see anything at all clearly, is a knowledgeable target audience. The victims cannot know the truth, from the perspective of the legal criminals, no more than a mark in a confidence scheme can know the truth, before the wealth transfers, voluntarily, from the mark to the con man.

If the intended victims are clued in, before the con is followed through to fruition, the jig is up. The victims find other things to do with their time and energy.

The legal criminals know this, and that is why their puppets tend to stammer and sweat bullets under the pressure of legal scrutiny. Exposing the fraud, exposing the emperors total lack of clothing, while all the victims eagerly fawn over those beautiful non-existent clothes, is like cryptonite to Superman, sunlight to vampires, and holy water to the devils advocates.

Perhaps I went well off the subject matter?
