<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1308189, member: 29012&quot;]I get that FRN&#039;s are not digital dollars (though they are a representation thereof). What I don&#039;t get is why Treasures are digital dollars under the same umbrella as what I have on my bank balance. If you have to spend digital dollars to get Treasuries, which I don&#039;t doubt, then you are not getting the same thing back that you spent to get them. If they were the same then there&#039;s no reason to buy them in the first place because you already have them. Obviously that&#039;s not the case. Now if they are different kinds of dollars then sure, I can go for that, just as I was talking about with AUD and CAD. So if it were say called a Treasury dollar, then there&#039;s a distinction I can live with, but it&#039;s not the same as the US dollar that we use for commerce. You can&#039;t buy anything with your Treasuries until you convert them back into dollars, just like stocks, just like gold and silver ETFs. You have to exchange them for dollars first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
