BlueMeanie4: thats comical
BlueMeanie4: you dont have a system, all you have is a few people roughly convinced you have an alternative
BlueMeanie4: and we all know this is just a characteristic of a cult
BlueMeanie4: so to have something that is so radically new, you need to have something that is radically detailed as well
BlueMeanie4: and strangely you believe you are the position to scoff at these points when they correspond fully to how our system works right now
BlueMeanie4: youre advocating something that is not only unsupported in principle, it doesnt exist in reality either
BlueMeanie4: im not arguing for some strange mythical world- this is how it currently works

BlueMeanie4: this gold back currency people are most ppl with no real economics background who believe they have some 'fix' to our economic problems
BlueMeanie4: all major money systems today are flexible money supplies

BlueMeanie4: what is your point?

BlueMeanie4: what you fail to see is how the world would be if loans werent available
BlueMeanie4: nubbins, it absolutely does
BlueMeanie4: Mircea - because so far no one has produced any sort of cogent response to my point
BlueMeanie4: if im not mistaken, it's impossible to produce enough gold to account for all the wealth in the world
BlueMeanie4: its not a heresy, it's just a lower form of money
BlueMeanie4: seems your understanding of how money works is lacking
BlueMeanie4: if you have enough gold. these people didnt each have enough gold to buy a house, but collectively they had the skills to make houses
BlueMeanie4: decimation- try building your own house then
BlueMeanie4: its similar with mortgages, requires capital to get all the specialists together to make a house
BlueMeanie4: where there was once no houses, or even individual ability to create houses, there was not a usable house
BlueMeanie4: but the money and debt allowed them to be specialists
BlueMeanie4: of course they had to work

BlueMeanie4: with no capital

BlueMeanie4: plumbing, electrical, etc
BlueMeanie4: and they loaned it to each other to do jobs on eachothers houses
BlueMeanie4: out of nothing
BlueMeanie4: and they made their own money system, a local currency
BlueMeanie4: i was in Belgium for a while and there was a group of people out in the country side
