[quote=scaredycat]one icky fact; gold mining is very environmentally bad[/quote]
Good point. I personally don’t think Gold will be relevant 10 years from now. Though, I think as the old system fails people will cling to it. In the end, the only thing that really matters are things that sustain life and have utility value. Though, we are still too stupid to realize that yet.
My point was the whole monetary system is a ponzi scheme by definition, that requires constant new debt and constant resource and energy inputs. Obviously in a finite world with limits that is 100% unsustainable. It’s actually a cartoonish error, when you think about it.
