What the fuck is this 'if' shit? Old news. The value is controlled by the banks, not the utility or inherent value of the metal.

Just in case a report from 2013 doesn't do it for you:
http://etfdailynews.com/2015/02/24/ten-b...d-rigging/

What would happen? The concentration of wealth would become even more imbalanced. You neglected to opine. Certainly you don't think that precious metal currency is more fair and equitable do you?

Men's purses would return to fashion.

Business would get slow. There would be money shortages. Without electronic transfers, theft would increase. There would be silver and gold (both of which have industrial uses) shortages. Might make the Great Depression look small.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

That's quite the fontsize there, bruh. I dunno. Maybe I'd do some bicep curls with it.
