Independent Money

Check out this video. It's a very basic description of the difference between gold currency and fiat currency. It advocates gold currency. Certainly, gold is not perfect. But in my opinion it is the best choice of currency we have. Fiat currencies are too easy for governments to manipulate, at the expense of their own people.

The thing that really gives away the true purpose of fiat currency is the fact that governments outlaw any alternative. They insist on a monopoly. They are counterfeiters who can't stand any competition. They literally cannot let their citizens be free. Advocates of gold currency don't attempt to abolish fiat currency, they don't need to. All they request is the freedom to write contacts in any currency they choose.
