People making false arguments are always restricted to the realm of "what would happen", or "what will happen",. They always seem to know the future, and it is always grim unless their least logical and rational course is taken.
That way, no matter how bad things are because of the current system ( i.e. fractional reserve banking based on nothing ) it will always be worse if it was changed back to the most simple and logical way.

How true. Global warming.... climate change, immigration, war, whatever meme du jour.

Claims that a gold standard has problems. Proceeds to list (as problems) the things that make it a good idea. This guy is on crack.
No it doesn't. I guess he forgot what he typed earlier:
Worked just fine until then.
Don't do that. No one should be able to loan what they don't have and charge people for the privilege of borrowing something that doesn't exist.

I agree with you.
