      Trying not to be boring and one note here but just a reminder that until very recently people died from the 'flu all the time and nothing travelled faster than a horse. Also maybe we have just arbitrarily bestowed gold with value?https://twitter.com/ProfeLuke/status/1112806901815894016 …

      Lots of things have been used as money, but hard money (gold) always seemed to crowd out 'less hard money'. @saifedean has a great explanation of this in "The bitcoin Standard".

      Thanks for the links - interesting and pretty clear-eyed. I’ll give them both a longer read. A few points to be clear about where I disagree with this view:

      1. Preferring deflation to inflation implicitly means that holding money is preferred to investing in an asset that produces a risk adjusted return of say 2%.

      2. I think the idea that growth in gold supply is ~ proportionate to the passage of time lacks elegance. Conceptions of trust, scarcity, verifiability etc have changed substantially since the inception of the gold standard.

      3. During periods of intense/high economic growth (like what is happening in China rn), growth in the real economy would quickly outstrip growth in money supply. This means that under any 'hard money' with fixed supply, currency acts as a soft break on growth potential

      4. Which points to i think the best point - the greatest growth in human wealth/prosperity in history (the last 50 years say) has taken place under soft money (but also some of the largest bubbles). Maybe there's just a straight trade off btwn growth potential and stability?

      even without the added intervention of an aggressive, venezuela-esq leftist government fiat invariably inflates to catastrophe. there is no counterexample. short term benefits aren’t worth the price. we should at least have access to a competing, gold-backed currency.

      Replying to @micsolana @gbrl_dick and

      also seems weird we expect even poor people to invest (+ risk) rather than save in order to avoid a second income tax in the form of inflation? i appreciate the value of investing (obviously, given my profession), but no one should be forced. and we currently sort of are?

          So another perspective on this is that we’re all forced to bear risk of some sort because the future is uncertain. If you were paid in gold that risk would be price of gold + opportunity cost risk of not being payed in Apple stock. I know that’s a simplification!
