Please trim your quotes.  Many of the posts on this thread are hard to read and take up unnecessary screen and server space.  There is a post on how to trim quotes here:

http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=3100552

This has been the standard on the site for years, though for whatever reason, it doesn't appear that regular Politics and Religion posters have made it a habit.  If you didn't know this before, now you do!

Posts not adhering to this request may be deleted.

HOARD GOLD!


Hunky, what good would that do? You aren't making any sense here, what does hoarding gold have to do with what we are discussing?



In some regards it is separate- in some it is the same.

fiat money- so gold and silver will hold its value.



there is no essential difference between fiat money and gold or any other commodity backed money, which still relies on faith in the underlying value of the commodity. Salt was money until it became devalued, and the same could happen to gold with new discoveries.

I can understand telling people to hoard gold in a thread about the economy but not here. Can you clarify further please



The WTC basement held alot of gold.   No one can account for it now.



Other than the $200 million that was recovered of course.

I will trade you 10 lbs of salt for 10 oz of gold.  Where would you like it shipped?

I was looking for that, but you know they must have avereaged it out somehow because 2005 looked like 2009 does now.  I wonder if they arent using some kind of moving average.  I save it for future reference, thanks.


Possibly you were looking at the M3 chart:

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/IMFNS?cid=28

Which includes money market funds, institutional deposits and the like - i.e. the money supply after the multiplier effect is taken into account.

Based on this, since 2005 the money supply has basically doubled - which would imply a 50% devaluation in the value of the currency if we weren't currently in an economic contraction.

A federal reserve note is a promise based on debt.  It is not an asset.   A note- should be redeemable in silver or gold- like it had been for over 100 years.    Coins once were silver or gold- this means the money was backed by the metal itself. It was not possible to over inflate the money because the collateral was the coins themself.

You think money is a thing. It's not---it's a concept.

It IS harder reading than smileys.com, and takes longer than insults and ridicule.

But leads to much better arguments.

Status: offline 		The history of fiat money, to put it kindly, has been one of failure. In fact, EVERY fiat currency since the Romans first began the practice in the first century has ended in devaluation and eventual collapse, of not only the currency, but of the economy that housed the fiat currency as well. Why would it be different here in the U.S.? Well, in actuality, it hasn’t been. In fact, in our short history, we’ve already had several failed attempts at using paper currency, and it is my opinion that today’s dollars are no different than the continentals issued during the Revolutionary War. But I will get into that in a moment. In the meantime, I will show you that fiat currencies have not been successful, and the only aspect of fiat currencies that have stood the test of time is the inability of political systems to prevent the devaluation and debasement of this toilet paper money by letting the printing presses run wild/snip

Or coffee beans. Or shells. Or Fed Reserve Notes. Or gold. Or purple stones.

And if not, all worthless.

Because money is a concept. No accepted concept, no value.
