The US dollar isn’t money. It’s debt. Look at any dollar and you’ll see that it says federal reserve note at the top. Notes are debt instruments. So yeah I would literally have a lot more money without government.

Which money?

Gold and silver which used to be legal tender

Gold and silver can be impure. Also you can't split it at the grocery store.

Salt used to be legal tender. Do you want to go back to paying with salt?

That’s preferable to fiat

Yeah, right. Why? Because it won't devalue? Salt miners/farmers (idk what its called) can hold the salt to alter offer and demand.

It can devalue but not to the benefit of private bankers

To the benefit of the salt farmers. Which is the same thing

It’s not even remotely the same thing. Anyone can become a salt farmer. Only a select few control and make dollars.

Currency only works as currency if its a limited resource. If anyone can and does become a salt farmer. Then salt is pointless.

Iirc there are two rules to currency. It has to have few uses (you can't use wood because wood is useful) and it has to be limited. That is the reason bitcoin has a max ammout that will ever be issued.
