And yet it is all based on BELIEF. All they need is for you to believe that piece of paper has a value. It has NO value whatsoever but the fact you believe (be-lie-ve) the lie is what keeps them in control.
What determines the value of a currency is what you can buy with it, nothing more
You can have all the gold in the world, if nobody accepts it as payment, it's worthless
You can eventually sell it to for industrial use yeah, and get "worthless paper" in exchange with which you can buy stuffs...
It's not for random reason if petrodollar is worth murdering millions for

I put the wikispooks links because the normal wiki links aren't straight forward enough for my taste, "you don't need to twist your ass to shit straight"

"What do you mean nobody accepts gold as payment? Everybody does! It's good money!"
Hm.
Try to pay with gold at the supermarket, the dumbass cashier will say no, because he doesn't know if he has the right to accept it, and doesn't know how to put it in his cash register, nor how much it's really worth, nor how much he's supposed to give in change
I know it's dumb but that's reality
Your best chance is that he isn't dumb, buys your gold with his cash, and then you give him the cash to pay for the goods...
And of course that's without considering a case in which .gov has banned gold ownership
If you think that can't happen think again
Tracy Twyman wrote a great book called Money Grows on the Tree of Knowledge. The history of money, the occult origin of the dollar symbol, how the Knights Templar essentially invented the banking system, the arcane magic at work in the federal reserve, the social security system and more. She was suicided a few months ago, may she haunt those who killed her relentlessly.
