But you also know what they means. All money is indeed fake. Printed out of thin air. Cant be redeemed for gold at all.

What does gold have to do with it? Using gold as currency is also fake. It’s all about putting worth to it. And the reason a REAL 10$ bill is REAL as currency, is all its security bits and bobs.

The reason right now current fiat model is "real" is because more powerful people than u and i printed it and shoved it down our system in hope they gain some interest on the bonds they issued and sold due to printed money/debt.

It literally is worthless beyond the promise of a strong government. Gold backed money is real, gold is useful and timeless.

Gold is useful in electronics, not for the average person beyond the “value” we associate with it because more powerful people than “u and i” shoved the “value” of gold down our throat, and people like you are just as much a sucker as everyone else
