QUOTE(getsmart @ Sep 19 2011, 09:56 PM) I'm just guessing here, not a financial expert. You get hit the nail on its head, why gold cannot be used as medium of trade/exchange.I think the reason is because we cannot create more gold but we can create more houses, cars, grow more food. Imagine there is only 1oz of gold in the world which can buy 1 chicken ... then the chicken become 2 chicken. So now 1oz of gold can buy 2 chicken is it? Fiat currency or gold is good as long as it increases at the same rate of growth. That's why gold was ditched as medium of exchange. If there is 1oz gold, which can buy 1 chicken. Now you grow another chicken, there is no more gold, nobody can buy from you, you cannot make a sales, except 1 chicken. So you grow 10 chicken also no use, nobody has the gold to buy. If later on, 1oz of gold can buy 2 chicken, why I want to grow 2 chicken in the first place, I better of with 1 chicken, I get the same amount of gold. If my 1oz of gold can buy 2 chicken tomorrow, why I buy today? I wait for tomorrow that I can buy 2 chicken. Wait, another day I may able to buy 3 chicken, I delay further. No chicken is sold in the process. Economy died down. You hinder the growth, due to scarcity of gold. Fiat currency is good if central banks are prudent enough to control the inflation and control the money supply according to the needs of economy. As long as there is self-discipline on money supply, it serve good to all. |

QUOTE(cherroy @ Sep 19 2011, 05:40 PM) Because gold is never a medium of trade/exchange. there always silver bro. When you go to restaurant to eat, can you pay with 1g or 2g of gold? Can be pay with 1kg of gold when you buy a house time? When you make credit card payment time, can you say to the bank, I pay with 10 g of gold? any they making a smaller denomination of silver nowdays. even 5gram of silver bar is available in malaysia |
