the gold standard failed every time it's been tried

This does not match well with any reasonable investigation into the past. Using precious metals for currency has been the only money based economic system to exist for about 2500 years (not counting the past century). It has had numerous successes in the sense that it has created stable and thriving economies. The Eastern Roman Empire for example, learning from mistakes and manipulations made in the Western Roman Empire, had a strict State run regulatory network on their currency, which not only created a stable internal economy that lasted about a thousand years, but also, because it was so stable, it became something of a reserve currency for a large part of Eurasia, fostering international trade and creating a more stable economy throughout Europe.

Now, I'm not trying to say it was all roses and sunshine. On the contrary, this stable economic system was used for all sorts of fuckery, including (but not limited to) the dominance of The Church in Western Europe and the longevity of the Dark Ages in that region. What it most certainly was not however, was a "failure" of precious metals to create a stabilized and thriving economy.

its too expensive and difficult to settle in

Too expensive and difficult to settle? What? I mean, what kind of a protest even is that? It costs nothing to "settle" if you don't want it to. It is Bankster fuckery that creates these problems, not the metals used as currency itself.

and that's what creates bank notes

What creates bank notes is Bankers. Bankers create bank notes because they want to control the money supply. First they create an economy that relies on debt by hording all the currency (this can happen with any currency), then they create laws that ensure they are the ones fulfilling that tradeable currency "need" that they created through contrived scarcity, then they fill that need by creating "money" that represents their holdings, but does not actually exist. That is what a "bank note" is. It is fake money fulfilling a fake "need" by fake law makers.

There is a reason they call it "Babylonian money magic." It's "magic" because it's illusory. Blaming the use of metals, which have numerous benefits as an intermediary of exchange of barter, because of the fuckery that created the illusions surrounding it shows an ignorance of how these things actually developed, who is behind it, how they have brainwashed people to believe in their system, and what the real solutions are.

Please note I am not saying we should start using gold flakes to buy groceries. I think there are better paths going forward, and I think that block chain technologies may be the key to the best path. Rather, I am protesting your protests because they do not address the actual issues, but instead rely on false conclusions from the Grand Illusion itself. In other words, your protests are standard fare from The Matrix, and have nothing to do with reality. Using these false claims as a foundation to your arguments create really bad arguments.
