Savings account literally = savings.

>Banks can only provide you with worthless IOUs that objectively leak their value over time.

This is completely meaningless drivel.

Those "worthless IOUs" are what you buy fuckin everything with lmao. They are your medium of exchange, be real with me instead of spewing propaganda.

>anks *do not* provide people with a saving vehicle

Yes, they do

>with a saving vehicle which they actually own and are able to transact worldwide with.

You're adding extra bullshit on top that wasn't part of the original claim.

You're just saying their savings doesn't count because you don't like it. That's not an argument.

Do I really have to explain myself like you are a person who wears a mask alone in their car? Savings account in bank = you collect IOUs that over time *loose* their value. If they lose their value, they objectively cannot ever be a part of savings vehicle. Actual saving vehicles help people to increase the relative value of their savings, not decrease. Is this so hard to comprehend?

>Savings account in bank = you collect IOUs that over time *loose* their value.

This is totally irrelevant. It's still a savings account. Your whining about irrelevant details is just an attempt to spin things.

> If they lose their value, they objectively cannot ever be a part of savings vehicle.

You save the money. It's saved. Whether it retains its value is irrelevant. You saved it.

> Actual saving vehicles help people to increase the relative value of their savings, not decrease

Good saving vehicles in good economies without inflation do that.

Actual savings vehicles can do either.

Is this so hard to comprehend?

You put the money in a box. It's saved. That's savings.

You keep complicating it.

No, they never do, interest paid by banks is never higher than the real inflation rate. This doesn't even include the counterparty risk associated with using a custodian such as any bank is.

If you say something and I reject it don't just explain it again.
