Confessions of a Gold Bug above
I tried to read the whole thing but failed.
The case against criminals dictating money matters is one thing. The case for any particular currency is something else entirely. One is dictated and the other one works out when the dicks stop dictating.
If gold makes for good currency, then, that fact would prove factual. These days I can't see gold coins replacing credit cards. One is efficient and very accurate while the other is a great liability. Which one is which?
I can certainly agree that the criminals who dictate money matters cause money trouble - on purpose.
I am not a gold bug.

I think the Gold Bugs want their cake and they like eating it too.
I think the Gold Bugs want to maintain the steady flow of something for nothing.
I think the Gold Bugs have a vested interest in the interest/profit/system and they won't let it go without investing their gold into state securities one way or the other.
I sure would like to be proven wrong.
I can see a minimal State using gold as money. That is fine so long as everyone else can use whatever currency (even whiskey) that works best under the current conditions.
The current conditions include penalties for using anything other than the legal tender.
