People need to remember what money actually is. Book keeping, a promissory note, something to be exchanged. Instead people think of money as the end all be all goal, and when they lose money and in return get something like food or a TV they are upset about losing so much money. Having a bunch of money doesn't make you wealthy, only the things you can buy with money make you wealthy.
Really fiat currencies are a rather genius way of stealing the actual wealth from a population who has confused the promissory note with the item promised. They can infinitely print money and keep using it to buy up all the actual wealth from idiots like 99% of the world who thinks that money has some kind of inherent worth. It's an amazing deal for the people printing the money, they part with something totally useless and in great abundance (a sheet of paper already covered in ink, not even a promissory note because it isn't backed by anything tangible), and in return they receive our land, our food, our TIME. It's nuts!
Until people remember what wealth actually is, IMO it doesn't matter what you use for money, eventually you will end up in a system like we are in now where a small amount of people have gotten together and realized that 99% of the world are complete idiots and would rather have a sheet of paper that says they own something then actually possess said item.
