Dollar can't die because it's not alive, it's undead since 1971. However, the wooden golden stake could be useful.

You think a gold standard will finally take it down? Who will initiate it, eastern powers or IMF/G7?

There is a project of energy backed currency which is proposed as the common currency for EEU nations. With energy backed currency you always have an opportunity to exchange your stash for Kilowatt-hours at fixed ratio. That could be a basis of reliable system.

Of course nations could prefer to use gold standard for their currencies but I think that energy backed currency will be more attractive for international transactions in comparison with golden stanbdard. Gold based system is less adaptive than energy-based system.

Sounds like a good solution. Isn't bitcoin basically backed by computer chips (processing power)?

but energy prices can change substantially; but maybe not more variable than gold or oil

Nope quite due to fixed coins supply. There is no direct correlation between the price of coin and cost of used resource. Roll Eyes

Thanks. Agreed; we're tied at the hip and now eastern countries are connected to rival us because we've sort of oppressed them

Did you notice we're not just giving opinions and hearsay?

It would make the doc 50% longer to say

"This statistic came from here, this one came from here, this research study says this." this isn't our opinion.

The dollar should have never been taken of the gold standard because if it hadn't we would still be paying 70 cents a gallon.

It hasn't been a true gold standard since 1912

Global reserves were convertible until 1971. Before that, US citizens could not redeem FED notes for gold

So if the dollar is like a virus, he has persisted for decades... will it persist with Bitcoin too? I fear it will, it will shape into any form possible to keep going and be the nº1 mainstream currency.
