As for having no confidence in the US dollar... try going to a grocery store and pay with gold coins, let me know how far that takes you... currency is a necessary means for civilized society, even the romans used it so it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Terrible argument. Fiat currencies aren't necessary, they're just the status quo which is why I'm not going to be paying for anything with my precious metals. Lol@civilized society though, considering fiat currencies have caused us great pains in the long run whereas commodity currencies have succeeded for millennia. Even in today's age, we can certainly have a fractional reserve commodity system.
