It has to be an available resource to create a proper hedge, while iron doesn’t make sense at first look because your imagining carrying trainloads of iron to buy bread, it’s actually just a placeholder of value, acting similarly to our commodities market - oil is supposedly doing this.
But oil, once again is not available to the common man. I would be fine using hydrogen gas as a currency, as well - like iron it would have a secondary effect of rapidly increasing its availability to the market.
And cryptos - while I agree with you that it shouldn’t be a ‘enforced’ currency, my primary argument is that when you get away from any government controlled currency, and let people decide - then it would be up to them. If people wanted to take that risk of having it wiped? And in my opinion many would, but only for quick, small transactions.
I see all money as metaphor for stored work/energy, and it should be - except we have too many hands in the pot, and the result is financial havoc.
But my final thought is whatever works: works, so start simple. Every business, restaurant and market should have a half ounce silver meal, and local communities, churches, and organizations should mint their own half ounce silver coins to promote the idea.
I had training there and it was just crazy how bad it was, during Covid - I had my first liberal screecher, so it’s what it is...
Hope your day goes well.

My home town, village actually, had their own Coinage during the Great Depression, and it worked, they had some three thousand souls living there....
Between then and now, it has dropped below 100....
And the whole County is down to about 2,000....
Gotta love that U.S. Govt intervention....
Fascinating. What state? Nevada?
I’ve looked at private membership organizations, there is so much difficulty in starting such things, and adoption.
That gov intervention...i have to take a break from thinking on it too much or my blood pressure gets up, lol.
New Mexico....
But, if you weren't Registered as a DemonRat, you were shunned from Everything, Jobs, Free Govt Food, just Everything....
