It does not change in value it changes in price. And when you go to redemn it, valued in dollars, you are simply back into the same system you pretend to transcend. $35 in 1946, when gold was pegged, would cost $380.45 in 2009 dollars. $35 in 1971, when the peg ended, would cost $183.35 in 2009 dollars--a loss of 51.8%. Pretending it was still $35, however, sparked the arbitrage threat to the dollar. And it would have made gold a government subsidized investment. Hence the arbitrage opportunity. I do not follow your structure. the "value" of gold can certainly be set and hence notes written against it. the proper solution would have been to reduce the quantity of gold at the same value to fix the problem and prevent the run. Of course the geniuses we got running th eshow are to fucking stoopid to figger out such simple shit. In other words as more people enter into the world you need to divide it up based on the initial base value.
