Ben, the central bank Matrix is telling your brain that fiat money is juicy and delicious, that it has real value above the paper it's printed on or the digits on a computer screen that were create out of nothing. Yes, Ignorance is bliss.to the proles, their real world fantasy is based on their ignorance. They haven't figured out that the only thing that keeps the Matrix money machine powered up is if enough of them are plugged in and regularly drained.
The matrix money machine is a system Ben, that system is our enemy.

I like US Dollars. I’m trying to mine Silicon Valley for a bunch more before I retire.

Although just a fiat currency, that part about “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private” means it’s backed by the US military. That’s a little better than the gold standard.

The dollar is not backed by the U.S. military, that's B.S. They tell you the dollar is backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. In other words, the only thing backing the dollar is the government's power to spend and tax the chit out of the private economy to pay its debts. Of course, that's just a fantasy now since the government is now like the Titanic driving full steam ahead directly toward an iceberg.

When the dollar was backed by gold (post creation of the Federal Reserve until the Great Gold Robbery of 1933), what was written on paper currency was “This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawful money at the United States Treasury or at any Federal Reserve Bank.”
The only things that were "lawful money" were gold and silver, a worldwide tradition for thousands of years that were most successful and practical and kept money and commercial trade honest fo the most part. A gold dollar was essentially a warehouse receipt redeemable on demand for the goods ("lawful money") it represented.
It's what kept the system in check, if the people found out there was bankster fraud going on, that the goods weren't being held in adequate reserves to honor normal levels of redemption, chit hit the fan and there could be a run on a bank and that bank could fail and go out of business and worse things could happen to the fraudsters.

Now the U.S. Treasury says Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive no backing by anything. Redeemable notes into gold ended in 1933 and silver in 1968. The notes have no value for themselves.
Today the dollar only asserts the note is "legal tender". By worthless dicktate.

Well... what are you waiting for?

If gold is so f*cking valuable, why don't you go buy some and quit crying about how you don't have any.

Buy some silver while you're at it... some platinum.

Or go get you a lead bed frame and a pillow filled with mercury so you can rest easy on your commodities.

Start calling you the f*ckin tin man.

What exactly enforces a worthless dictate? You can always transfer your money to some other currency that is on the gold standard! I’ll stick with US Monopoly money backed by the US military. Don’t think so…try to destabilize the dollar.

slim pickin's from which to choose the Gold Standard available...or did I step on your punch line?

Jenny and me was like peas and carrots...

Trumpism is totally different than McCarthyism but they are just the shiny dangling keys you’re supposed to look at.

China doesn’t want our economy to collapse, they want just want to dominate it. China intends to dominate all economies. China is fine playing the long game to slowly conquer the US from within. That will totally wreck my US currency strength argument. That’s why you gotta convert to Yuan beforehand. Or I guess gold!

I think China is hoarding all the gold.

Well they’re not holding cryptocurrency anymore!
