      The whole economy has already crashed multiple times, based on frivolous financial speculation on a massive scale with fiat currency. Gold, which is not a rock by the way, is at the very least finite so it inhibits the ability of these people to print fake money and burn it up, destroying people’s lives in the process. I’m not saying a gold standard would be preferable, but I do believe the question to be far more nuanced than “idiots wanna base money off of rocks, instead of just feels as we do currently”.

        Did you really just do an ‘um askshully’ because I called gold a rock?

          So typical for you to just ignore the whole content of the comment pointing out your asinine argument thinking you’re conveying some deep reasoning, just in order to be able to reply to a tiny shred of it like an internet smart ass. Just Squid things, it turns out it’s useless to hope for you to say anything non-pathetic, that’s just who you keep insisting on being. Good for you big guy! Merry Christmas.

            That escalated quickly.

            Just curious: was the passive-aggressive “Merry Christmas” because I’m Jewish?

              I was as unaware of your self-proclaimed Jewish heritage, just like I was of your supposed terminal illness you hid behind the last time. You sure seem to like to view yourself as a missile-seeking target it seems. With an uncanny ability to lower the bar to boot. Kudos.

                I never claimed to have a terminal illness. Why are you lying? If you want to mock my chronic illnesses, at least don’t lie about them.

                And my Jewishness is such a secret that just clicking on my profile will show you that I mod c/jewish.

                It’s just possible you know less about me than you think you do. Too late to ask me about anything though. You enjoy the imaginary person you’ve built up in your head though.
