I do not dispute that, but should money fail then I would be stuck with bartering.
Your argument is as such:
Printed currency is crazy money without value. My money, gold, has value.
My argument is:
Gold is just like other money, it has little intrinsic value, certainly more than paper, but from an engineering standpoint, less than steel.
That you agree in the value of a monetary system is simply you arguing over an agreement that an ounce of gold buys a bushel of corn as opposed to an stack of bills or a bucket of seashells.
My point is your argument is simply a preference for a certain tender, but entirely dependent on the same monetary agreements of today.
