Go ahead, yeah you can do it, turn it blue
You are right about the USD and Bitcoin. They are currencies which are being used as a medium of exchange, but they are not a good store of wealth because they're not backed by anything.
I am finding the word "money" to really be a layman term to just make everything generic. Governments redefine what words mean all the time and so "money" has been redefined to be "fiat currency" in these modern times.
I reckon let it go. Talk about currency vs wealth instead and just leave "money" out of the discussion. No matter how bad it gets I'd be surprised if we end up walking around buying things at the shop with gold and silver. They are a great store of wealth but I doubt they'll ever be used as a widespread currency ever again.

G'day. I hear what you're saying and agree with most of it. I just think that when the time comes and fiat does actually collapse, gold and silver will play a part as a medium of exchange as well as the ultimate store of wealth.

Well, it is okay to be suprised every now and then, I do not think that they will be the primary form of money, but I do how ever believe they will play a part. And your right about the redifined word of money, but as you and I know the government is usually wrong. Hey thanks for dropping by

I agree 100%. The govts. want to erase all history except that which promotes their agenda. That includes traditional and historical money. They would wipe gold and silver from Webster's dictionary if they could.

Man this is so true. BTC has the hype, but physically which one makes the most sense? In the world we are in now it is a must to carry basically all three! BTC and crypto are going to dominate for a while.

Spittin' knowledge Ray! Except, I would argue that it's not even "government paper," as the Fed is a private corporation. It's corporate paper! It belongs with Dunder Mifflin reams in The Office, as it's just as fictional as that company is.

You are right, but they are influenced by the governments, they may not lead you to believe this but they do. Thanks for the visit.

Of course, is there really any difference between the two anymore? They are pretty blatant about how connected they are. Just gross!

True True ray! Also on top of all that the banks are involved in fractional banking, for every dollar they receive they can lend out as much as 10x that amount. Money printing by govts AND banks...

G'day. Another good article to promote discussion. I'm glad you included cryptos as well for balance. Somewhere in the future gold, silver and cryptos will come into play when fiat collapses.

points at what Ray said and if your not sure just get a couple of pieces of silver and hold those in one hand and a few dollar bills in the other and then decide \o/
