<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean5150, post: 2292702, member: 75607&quot;]I wasn&#039;t saying that there needs to be a fixed gold standard, I was just baffled at the hate for gold. We should be lucky there is something that cannot be manipulated by a hegemony that has value. Think about it, paper currency is on it&#039;s way out too. There is no real need for it. So then everything is in &quot;the cloud&quot;. All accounts are virtual, all money exchanged is virtual. There is nothing tangible at all to even account for. At the very least gold is something. It never breaks down, and it can&#039;t be duplicated. It is called a precious metal for a reason, not just because it&#039;s &quot;shiny&quot;. You can make the same argument for diamonds, the prices which are ironically also manipulated. There is nothing inherently purposeful in a diamond, but it&#039;s inherent qualities&nbsp; (and de beers monopoly) make it valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
