[quote=walterwhite]You say tradition like it’s a bad thing.
Money itself only has value because we respect it, it is traditionally accepted.
The substance with the longest most widely accepted tradition of acceptance is gold.[/quote]
No, I’m not saying tradition like it’s a bad thing. I’m merely stating – factually – that it’s nothing more than tradition. That the tradition has held for very long period of time doesn’t change the fact that it’s still… tradition. If it makes you happy then I’ll add that “there are far worse traditions”. At its base, however, it’s still a religion of sorts… albeit a long-tenured one.
