RE: Money Is the Ultimate Form Of Agreement
You're extracting conclusions from a way too small period of time. Before gold and silver we had salt (and in some parts of the globe, salt is still the de facto currency). Before that we had good and services. There was always some form of agreement, adapted to the current context of those implementing the agreement
The bottom line is that value comes from the mind and it arises only when there is an agreement. There's no "extrinsic" value of money.
As hard as that may be to digest.
Tulips, seashells, etc....
Gold and silver outlasts those. When everything crashes down, gold and silver will come back as the method of trade.
I will bet on salt, though.
If humanity really shits itself to the point of using material representations of money again, the situation will be so dire that salt will be really more in demand than gold or silver.
Just my 2 (virtual) cents.
I buy salt and sugar in bulk...hahaha
that's THE way!
Haha, it's epigenetic!
Most people won't know that's what they need to survive. ;)
