RE: aim4truth.org reporting we are going back to the gold standard. Necessary knowledge within the article.
Ah, the gold standart... Dont see what the good of that would be seen how gold is basicly worthless, practicly not useful for anything but a couple high end applications. The supply is limited, thats about all that could make it interesting as currency.
Actually there are a lot of application it could be used for if it wasn't so expensive. The fact is most tech would actually work better. Speaker's, crystals and magnets for one. Resisters', transistors and compactors would also function differently. Lot's of tech could work great at a lower Amperage. So the fact that it is not used in those application is because of the price and not because of its functional value.
True, it has some utility value in that regard as well. Though,even if we were interested only in that, wed probably still not use it for all of that or it may soon run low for the applications which rely on it.
What im quite bamboozled about is some people who suggest setting gold or silver aside for destitute economic situations - well, i dont think im interested in gold in such a situation.
Yeah you can't eat it I know. lol
And youd have a hard time finding someone who is willing to accept it as payment for anything useful in such a situation.
There will always be trade and need for a medium. Something that has value in and of its existence is better than paper any day. I like silver and cooper better than tin. LOL
Thats what i suggested ethanol for. Quite a concentration of value from all the sugar (from whatever source) and further work, easy to transport in decent quantities and so on. And actualy useful.
