We will never go back to the gold standard. Ever. It won't work with a global economy. I really don't want to get deep into it. PM me if you would like to continue the convo. I'm a financial engineer. I've worked for black rock. Goldman. And now work for a private firm designing engineered investments. Dealing with Options and futures mostly. Without a doubt the gold standard cannot and will not ever work again. I'd bet my life on it with zero hedge.
Ooh, Blackrock and GS - the scummiest of the scumbags.

The only sound system is the gold standard. It's feared because it makes people [criminal governments and banks] play honestly. Ultimately, when the paper ponzi collapses, it won't be up to governments to decide. It's a confidence game, and once the rest of the world realizes they've been fleeced, nobody is going to want paper 'funny money.'
