<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1502068, member: 112&quot;]Sorry, but 19Lyds is correct. Silver, gold, even paper, are nothing but things.And all things, can be used as money and have been, because money is nothing more than an idea. </p><p><br /></p><p>And those green pieces of paper, they are also recognized and accepted, even sought after, the world over. And don&#039;t forget, you use those green pieces of paper to buy the gold and silver you praise, as well as to buy everything else in your life. You work, you struggle, you sacrifice, you do everything you can to get as many pieces of those green pieces of paper as you can get. Do you not ? And you do that to survive, to try and make your life as good as it can be.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it wouldn&#039;t matter if they gave you green pieces of paper, bars of gold and silver, or sea shells, for your efforts. You would still do everything you could to get as many of them as you can to survive. And the reason you would do that is because money is nothing more than an idea. And anything, everything, can be used as money. And none of them are any better than anything else when used for that purpose. When it comes right down to it the thing that determines what we use for money is nothing more than a matter of convenience. And green pieces of paper best suit that purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
