    I have this feeling that digital currency is just another fiat currency and will give him a jump start to rape people again. But who knows.

    Backed by "oil reserves"? Talk about spending what he cant even get out of the ground.... Maybe I should start a digital currency backed b y what I might earn from my mechanical engineering degree , and of course spend the money I get from it now....

    " Venezuela is getting ready to release its own new digital currency, called the Petro. The government claims it will launch "in a matter of days," backed by 5.4B barrels of oil reserves valued at $267B, as well as gold and diamonds. According to President Maduro, 860K people have already registered to create Petro mining farms.

    Absolutely true. And according to one report just today, North Koreans are already hacking them.

    And I’m a 40 year computer geek, I should love the idea. But also an MA in Economics, focussing on monetary economics.

    It ain’t real, therefore it’s not money.

    cryptocurrency without any backing is as worthless as any othet fiat currency.. Money is not made by simply printing it or digitally creating it.

    Money is a receipt for something of value whose supply is not just a matter of someone arbitrarily creating it from thin air.

    Gold wouldnt even work if all of a sudden it could be created by mixing a few common chemicals by any tom, dick, or harry

    Do you mind if I use a computer entry to buy one of your computer entries and then sell it for some Federal Reserve Notes with which I will purchase some gold coin?

    How many Bobcoins can I receive in exchange for some tulip bulbs from Holland? My charts tell me that tulips have completed their 380-year consolidation phase and are due for a strong rebound any decade now!

    You might enjoy exploring the actual history of money. I trust that you have heard of "Gresham's Law." In fact, it is a mere conjecture. I can give you many counter-examples from US history. Silver 3-cent coins, nickel 3-cent coins, and paper 3-cent certificates all circulated side-by-side. So did nickel 5-cents coins, silver half dimes, and 5-cent certificates. Fully one-third of the silver dollars we have today from 1878 to 1935 are uncirculated. They sat unused in the vaults of banks. Meanwhile gold dollars also were in demand mostly as jewelry charms.

    No demand for gold dollars in Boston, May 1894

    Gold coins unfamiliar to merchants in NYC 1896

    Just so we are clear on my context for discussing the history of money.
    As they say, e pluribus unum just one out of many...

    "gold was not highly demanded in New York City "
    Right, because the thieving bankster scum could not counterfeit gold to steal from everyone else. Now they have gold indices, having convinced enough ignorant suckers to just trust Wall St will have enough gold in inventory when called for. Same as the banksters did in all bankster caused collapses prior to 1913 when they bought enough corrupt DC looters to give government sanction to bankster credit creation of all legal tender. Legitimized looting of everyone by banksters is nearly impossible with gold backed money.

    I was a small town newspaper reporter for 7 years during the 70s.
    Toward the end The Montgomery Advertiser (Montgomery the capital of Alabama) promised~and I mean big time promised!~me a job as the police beat reporter after a hiring freeze.
    Two months later I had to find out though a friend who worked there that someone fresh out of college had been hired as police reporter for far less money than I as going to make.
    Due to such writing on the wall, me dino decided there was no future in my chosen career.
    So I moved on and joined the Alabama Department of Corrections and am now retired with the cash flow of a pension I doubt I would otherwise had.

    "Our astrologers project--"? LOL!
    And all those zeroes looked pretty zero to me.
    Me the old dino would have promised all-caps "UNTOLD RICHES!!!" recalled form reading snail mail scams received during the 70s.
