<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1510090, member: 30574&quot;]Hello Peace,</p><p>This really has nothing to do with perspective, just facts.&nbsp; Silver used to be money, silver has some of the charactersitics of money, it even has some advantages for being money.&nbsp; But that does not make it money.&nbsp; </p><p>No one argues that we have now swithced to be 100% fiat money, and the very definition of fiat money is that it is not backed up by anything except a government promise. That fiat money (GreenBacks) is the only thing that is legal tender in the US. Nothing else, NOTHING. Some people don&#039;t feel comfortable with that, but that is what it is. You cannot make something into money because it gives you a warm fuzzy.&nbsp; Read the entire WIKI post with a clean and open mind, and I think you would agree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if anybody is receiving goods in exchange for silver, they are bartering, not using silver as money</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
