Did gold stop being "Sound Money" when promissary notes arised?
comparing gold to Bitcoin is like comparing a horse buggy to a Ferrari. I don't know. I'm just playing the empathy card and placing myself in your clown shoes. Maybe then I can understand your SC breaks BTC "Sound Money" theory hey molecular and sickpig. brg444 and Odalv keep calling me names!!! waaaaaaaa: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRsau5q_ubkQXmpFuJ3FxDw8S3oUmIFoDj8HOEHW7AR7TPqKtfz&t=665&c=eR-Ssy2FXNIRjA)

would you prefer that Bitcoin particpate in the coming Currency Wars or get bogged down in trading SC speculative assets directly within the protocol? remember, you want all this fiat to have to "buy in" to BTC, the currency unit. Bring On the Currency Wars http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/11/21/bring-on-the-currency-wars/Finding it hard to stimulate domestic demand through cheap credit in a world of rock bottom interest rates, the next best solution central bankers have settled on is to generate growth by boosting net exports. And the way to do that is to devalue their currencies.Those Currency Wars are already underway. It's frightening to think of Bitcoin being "weaponised" as a tool in this regard. Imagine a govt acknowledged actively purchasing btc.... Bitcoin is not really weaponizable in that sense. It is instead the disarming end of the conflict. The war is more between the different central banks, and less between the governments. That people confuse these sadly shows how much Bitcoin is a product of its time. A country is not its currency.hum poor me who thought that was precisely the case for the last couple milleniums. or could it be the opposite? ^^ maybe we werent developped enough to grasp such novel concept but still you cant make such bold assertion seriously. A country is not its currency. The USA is on its 3rd central bank. (Not including the civil war greenback or the confederate script.) Abolishing the CBs has never been easy. Few people alive today remember a time when free of such. As a nation the US struggled against the establishment of government banks repeatedly. For the last 100 years that struggle has failed.

comparing gold to Bitcoin is like comparing a horse buggy to a Ferrari. Give me the horse and buggy any day if no gas stations are open. You probably anticipated me saying something like that after the years (literally) that we've been going at it.

If you've ever thought Bitcoin was in a bubble, you should look at the population explosion, we're at a point were there are more people alive than have ever died in the history of humanity. We're going to have pain but the only path forward is with technology some technology's are so important we don't give them up, like the wheal and the plow, I think we'll add the internet to that list too.

LoL, please stop, same textbooks, same education, same cocktail, same goals, same ideologies: Inflation is good, because it motivates to work more, otherwise you would be lazy and would think to enjoy life. Exactly what a german dude planed. we never left war economies. "In order to mitigate the potential impact of Bitcoin, the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 could be expanded to include digital currencies. Rather than limiting its scope to currencies used by colonies or overseas territories, the IMF could use Article IV Section 5 to label Bitcoin—or other digital currencies like it—a “separate currency.”159 As such, the IMF could require member nations to pay part of their subscription quota with Bitcoins.160 This would require member nations to purchase Bitcoins independently. They would then contribute that amount to the IMF’s general fund as part of their quota, receiving an amount of their own currency or special drawing rights equal to the value of the Bitcoins paid in exchange.161 In short, expanding the meaning of Article IV, Section 5 would grant the IMF a means of indirectly accumulating Bitcoins through its members."- from the paper quoted above ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Again is it a joke? You have still faith in those institution like they like to be called? I think it's idiotic. They want SDR, because they can print them... and enjoy life with the inflation (money printing) they do for themselves, meanwhile you have to work for a diminishing return, so they can keep their perks. Abolishing the CBs has never been easy. Few people alive today remember a time when free of such. As a nation the US struggled against the establishment of government banks repeatedly. For the last 100 years that struggle has failed.
Exactly as it's an intergrant part of the USMC, and as the USMC is still at war... I don't see a way forward but a big confrontation. Or the USMC wins (which isn't in it's interest, otherwise no more USMC) or the USMC do it's job perfectly, manage the grow of the enemy (is there really an enemy?, or it's just a propaganda war to get a population distraction - management?). Freing humanity from such people is worth it. What ever the cost. it's that or slavery at their mercy. If you've ever thought Bitcoin was in a bubble, you should look at the population explosion, we're at a point were there are more people alive than have ever died in the history of humanity. We're going to have pain but the only path forward is with technology some technology's are so important we don't give them up, like the wheal and the plow, I think we'll add the internet to that list too.
yes of course I have to pay for those that can't control their legs and open them all the time without thinking on how they are gonna raise their children. better to beg. fsa.

According to Bernanke, yes it stopped. lol Ron Paul: "Do you think gold is money?" Ben Bernanke: "No" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NJnL10vZ1Y at 4:25 Federal Reserve Notes are the king of the promissory notes. People even still call them Dollars.

LoL, please stop, same textbooks, same education, same cocktail, same goals, same ideologies: Inflation is good, because it motivates to work more, otherwise you would be lazy and would think to enjoy life. Exactly what a german dude planed. we never left war economies. An economy is also a different thing than a currency. I don't know if my text book is anything like yours, but maybe a dictionary would help you? There are different definitions for all three of these "economy" "currency" "country". I can't see what point you are making here other than "we never left war economies", I would agree with you on that. War is typically what ends sound money. The threat of WWI ended gold and silver current money in the USA and brought the 3rd central bank. The War of 1812 brought the 2nd. So yes, for so long as there is a central bank, you can say "we" never left war economy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_central_banking_in_the_United_StatesMy point is slightly different though. You can end the currency quite nicely without ending the country. (At least twice so far in the USA, if not counting the Civil War currencies of Lincoln's greenback and the Confederate script - we got 2 new central banks out of that war one for each side, both also ended)
