Wow, that gold standard sure is incredible

I hope when fiat collapses and people rush back to tangible things it doesn't take too long for gold-based financial networks to be rebuilt

Unfortunately gold-based networks didn’t pass the market test. That’s why fiat came into being.

But luckily we have Bitcoin which is basically the digital equivalent of a well functioning gold-based financial network.

Will Bitcoin be part of a financial system that allows us to send oil, grain and manufactured goods around the world with confidence?

Bitcoin is what will be used to pay for those goods

If we have reliable security & dispute arbitration to send oil, grain & manufactured goods around the world, it follows that we have reliable security & dispute arbitration to send precious metal disks around the world.

Or does precious metal somehow uniquely corrupt authority figures?

You want payments to be instant and cheap across the globe, so physical is not an option. It has to be digital…

I can transfer claims on gold digitally, just as we transfer claims on oil digitally
