1. I've been noticing a lot of this lately. I think it's some kind of glitch in YT's system. I've been seeing a lot of legitimate comments being marked as spam.
2. ink and paper are still worthless. Its all about silver and gold. Whats up with the chick that cant even talk right? Its agonizing!
3. Why is this marked as spam? How does a comment get marked as spam?
4. Real money is gold and silver and cannot be counterfeited . Don't use paper use silver. American Open Currency Standard uses silver and is real money. Once people understand AOCS they realize they don't really need a bank.
5. More fiat isn't the way. Just use gold and silver instead. That way you don't have to worry about their value collapsing because gold and/or silver have value in themselves as opposed to those pieces of paper.
6. Any kind of currency still has to have some sort of universal monetary value. local businesses still have to get their supplies from outside sources. Small businesses get their supplies from wholesalers. If your state has a currency that is only valuable where you live and a bordering state doesn't recognize it, small businesses who get their supplies out of state can't buy the goods to sell to you the consumer. Because it's valueless anywhere else unless the local economy can 100% self-sustain.
7. Exactly. If it's backed only by fairy tales what's the point??
8. This is kind of like what the confederacy did during the civil war. And I don't have a problem with this so much as I do a very simple question... What is being used to back this currency. The Dollar? Well I personally am not very comfortable with paper being used to back paper if that is the case. If I'm going to have faith in a receipt, I'd at the very least like to know what I have to look forward to as a hard asset for my good faith in an initial investment.
