Peter: Which makes my point exactly. Hence the use of the term “historically speaking”. Gold, fiat currency and other financial instruments have fluctuated wildly over the years, which removes the underpinnings from your argument that gold enjoys superior staying power versus ALL other forms of money.
And, let’s be clear: Money is not necessarily fiat currency, which furthers weakens the focal point around which your argument coheres.
