You are right. If it was a gold based system. Wars wouldn't last very long.
The gold would soon be gone. The fiat system allows wars to last a lot longer than it should.
Why do we need wars anyway? We all know what is right.
And let arbitrators settle difficult questions.

If the cryptos doesn't get in place soon. It could be a bad time.
Fiat will fall. It always has. This time is no different.
My thinking anyway.
