Cryptos are a fucking scam to sucker people out of their money who think it'll replace fiat. It has no intrinsic value
Only sound money (silver and gold) can save us from eternal debt slavery because they are real stores of value
Get off Voat and start educating people about central banking. Go tell all your friends and family. Start a grassroots campaign to lobby congress to abolish the Fed and return to the Constitution
This is something liberals and conservatives can really rally around. Nobody likes being stolen from. Tell them why they should lobby hard for this. Hell, run for office if you think you can pull it off. Even if you don't get elected, campaigning is a great way to raise awareness. Worked great for Ron Paul. He woke up millions of people to the threat of the Fed
Focus on this one thing. Fuck everything else. We can come back and fight all the other shit later. If we don't end the Fed, there won't be any point in resisting the creep of multiculturalism, feminism, surveillance, endless war, degeneracy, etc.
These are distractions created by Jews to keep us from focusing on their source of power - fiat money
Kill fiat and everything else goes away with it

If everyone mined gold, then who would cure your disease? Who would grow your food?
Each person performs the task he is best suited and most efficient. This is the foundation of free market.
The value of the doctor's labor is based on the value of the miner's labor. The value of the miner's labor is directly correlated to the amount of gold mined. Therefore, the doctor's service is valued in gold. eg, one hour of the doctor's service is equivalent to 40 hours of the miner's labor. It takes the miner 40 hours to mine 1/10 oz of gold. The doctor gets paid 1/10 oz gold for 1 hour of service.
Would you rather be a doctor or a miner?
In geographical regions devoid of gold, salt served a similar purpose. It could not be manufactured, but only harvested. Salt has intrinsic value as it kept meat from spoiling. Salt is salt and one persons salt was as good an another persons salt. It was a unit of wealth/value. Salt doesn't survive well when exposed to water.

You're assuming there is enough gold to pay a doctor more than a miner -- if all the gold is tied up in savings or other parts of the economy, you cant pay a doctor without mining more gold, and there may not be anymore gold to mine. When we run out of gold, the economy cant grow. It doesnt make any sense to back a currency exclusively by gold unless you're a gold baron, or can make gold.
I think its smart to peg a currency to gold, and other value stores simultaneously so supply chains are less manipulatable, more in tune with the whole economy as opposed to mining, and the currency has more utility than just gold exchange

Your assumption that economic growth is contingent on an ever increasing supply of currency or gold is incorrect. There is something drastically wrong with your understand of money supply. So much so that I can't possible teach you. Sorry.
You don't make sense "assuming there is enough gold to pay a doctor more than a miner." Its called supply and demand.
