PAPER MONEY's ROLE in Delaying REAL Progress

The whole notion of paper money is problematic, multinational or otherwise.

• Money = Medium of Exchange

When money has intrinsic value, i.e. it does not just simply represent value, but is itself valuable, it goes without saying that the holders of such real money cannot have it devalued nearly as easily as those holding even the best paper money paper money can buy !!!

That being said, need we say anymore ?

There should not be different "brands" of paper money, national or otherwise, they are all tainted, manipulable, but not gold, gold is gold is gold, no matter whose face is emblazoned on the coin!

Not only should there not be different national currencies, there should not be paper currency of any kind, only gold coins of regulated weight and composition. [other precious metals are fine too, think intrinsic value, requires no trust]  As for notes fixed to gold, the temptation is too great to keep the ratios fixed, they have never remained fixed, always slipped, always.

With gold, trust in no person is required after a transaction using gold as the medium of exchange has been made, the gold's value will fluctuate only based on the availability of gold itself, not the whims of those with ability to print up willy nilly oodles of more paper currency.

People who inanely argue that if there is not enough gold, economic activity will slow to a halt are just plain silly, perhaps even disingenuous, and they know it: the value of whatever gold there is available will simply rise, which is a good thing, not bad, free market will still function, and best of all, no one's savings, if in gold, will be devalued. That a Gold Standard was the cause of economic trouble in the past is one of the biggest lies of all time, and only served to remove gold from the hands of the pliant common folk, a gargantuan theft which continues unabated.

People need a reason to save, be frugal, efficient and sober in all dealings, and money that cannot easily lose its value due simply to the whim of coordinated action by some humans is crucial to that end. As real as your money is, is as real as you are some feel.

Unless you have this correct premise, one can spin any kind of complex story one wants, attempting to overflow the buffers of one's readers to the point they forget the premise and agree with your points out of sheer exhaustion somewhere in the middle, via endless comparisons of permutations of the same faulty premises re: the numerous paper currencies' relationships with each other, all rubbish, figuratively and actually !

Unless you can hold a continuous logically connected series of thoughts from beginning to end, you can be convinced of anything, including that paper money is anything but a crude parlor trick.

Paper money is almost as bad as electronic money.  A regression of virtual money.  All theft is based on fraud.  Paper money is a lie and requires trust that just does not exist. It says I am worth more than the paper I am printed on.  Cashless is even more dependent on trust, whereas Gold is Gold, and is itself worth something as a material of remarkable usefulness.

Electronic money is even worse than paper money: there is no way to know how much there really is out there, almost like paper money, both of which can be created out of thin air, unlike gold, but with the Electronic money's added danger of  it not being possible to make a run on a bank if there is nothing physical to demand, i.e. not even paper money !!!

Then the only way to restore equilibrium after the type of fraud possible in a cashless society is usually war, since things can become so out of whack when even the run on banks mechanism is gone, an implicit result of cashless.  And lots of unhappy ripped off people are better done away with then dealt with as the tragic rationalization goes, and has often been the solution historically, aka wars to reduce the population, all other excuses as cover for this simple fact.

Now contrast cashless with wageless, and you will really begin to see that all forms of money, even gold, are really only a way to organize matter beneath those creating the particular monetary system in question, i.e. those first issuing "money" in whatever form, and that a wageless economy where all work is performed by robots and computers is where we are headed, and that what we have today is a form of it, but a brutal form where real breathing people are turned into robots by the issuers of paper money !!!, when real robots would be so much more, shall we say, humane and sensible to use than real humans as robots !!!

Forex Not Possible with Real Money

The whole notion of 4X itself is flawed because it is a leak in the system, where differences are exploited, and only those with reach across multiple regions can reasonably exploit such differences.  One can argue that all such exploitation eventually brings progressive equilibrium, but in so saying you have admitted that exploitation is part of that "progress".

Besides, those addicted to such easy money, will and have always endeavored to maintain the differences intentionally via pseudo-representative "governance" commandeered by extra-governmental international mechanism keeping exploitable differences in place, milking the differential, just as one does with Ocean Thermal Energy, Geothermal Energy, the Hegelian Dialectic, thereby remaining in the above the fray position from which to cherry pick indefinitely.  Why should this situation EVER change unless we provide a better way ?

Before we had the robotic technology we now possess, many of these arguments and "peculiar ways of doing things" may have made some sense in that there was no better way to achieve "progress", but with the level of progress thus far achieved, ironically in large part via exploitation, it is now possible to exploit only inanimate matter, i.e. robots and computers made from inanimate matter and possessing no will of their own, as hard as it is for those accustomed to exploiting humans to admit this, it is nevertheless true that all such exploitation of contrived differences enforced on humans is now no longer "necessary", and the big concern now is how will those who took the status quo to be ordained, how will they now behave knowing there is a better way, and will they help lead the transition to "The Robotic Wageless Economy©", or will they cling desperately to their notions of rigged superiority?  Rigging is fine, as long as we rig it so everyone wins !!!  We don't care how you do it, but do it well, so well in fact that no one gets hurt and everyone wins. Si se puede !!

More on the interesting concept of a wageless robotic economy that we are hearing more and more about, can be found here: http://RoboEco.com/CFR

In summary,  "The Robotic Wageless Economy©" is something we can all benefit from and we look forward to your efforts in joining us to achieve this simple goal in our lifetimes.   If you feel all the above made points are reasonable, then ask yourself, why are we not focusing all our efforts on the new way instead of propping up the old way ?  What is in that for you my friend ?
