Then you wouldn't mind giving all your fake money to me, then right?

Money is fake. Money is worth something because we say it's worth something. It's all an illusion. But if enough people put faith in the illusion, it becomes real.

You want gold? What the fuck am I supposed to do with gold? Use it to barter other goods? It's not like the next guy is going to use that gold except for currency. There is ZERO difference between gold and bank notes. None.

You'd realize that if you took an Econ101 class.

So if your hedge fund management firm isn't doing so hot, you can run to the feds and ask them to print more gold?

You can buy shit with counterfeit money. Doesn't mean anything is backing it up. But of course, you know that shit because you took an Econ101 class.
