I don’t see any gain in discussing this further with you. Your assumptions are based on the fallacy that the US government can default and make its currency worthless. Your lack of understanding and unwillingness to move off your misconceptions, even just long enough to consider other points, make discussion pointless. There is no option other than fiat debt-based money in any modern system so it is what we are stuck with. It offers sufficient security and flexibility to more than adequately provide for our economy if we only learn how it works and use it properly. A currency with an intrinsic value only makes it more expensive and difficult to manage.
