What do you call it?

How about I pick, none of the above and call it a day?

Have at it!
That's your prerogative.

Once again, there is a world of difference between real money and that fake stuff that the government produces.

Real money has intrinsic value and cannot be manipulated by politicians or shadow governments.

"Federal Reserve" notes are not actually government property. They belong to the Federal Reserve banks, which are private companies.

Just thought I'd point that out.

And then there's this:

I'm not even talking about the gold or silver standard.
People could buy and trade even before there was a gold standard.
Even the value placed on gold and silver fluctuated.
Doesn't matter if you use a hunk of gold or the "thin air" money we use today ...... it all has a value attached to it (ie. can purchase items and services).

As far as having gold, what need does anyone really have for gold in their everyday living?
Of all the metals I've used in my lifetime, I cannot think of a single instance when I ever thought "I need gold to get this done".
But someone decided to place a great value on something I have never really needed.
Not that gold has no practical use at all, but few have a need for it in their everyday living.
And now we have a world that covets gold, something the vast majority don't even have a need for.

And now, as you say, we have "thin air" money that the world covets.
Why? Because someone placed a great value on it.

See my previous comment, the kgov link.

Gary Cooper happens to be my favorite Actor of all time. Check out one of his BEST movies, entitled; "The Hanging Tree." It was George C. Scott's first movie.

No offence intended, but, I really don't need YOUR permission, pal.

Well then, show him what's what and allow to him borrow your mower next time.

Better yet, when his grass gets tall again....mow it for him.


That'll teach 'em!

Both sound like very Christian things to do so most of the posters here will reject them out of hand.

Yes, that was my point exactly.

Real money is a commodity facilitating the exchange of other goods.

The "Federal Reserve money" is funny money that is controlled by a very small group of insiders that benefit from this scam at the expense of everyone else.
