I mean... is Ron Paul right? Should we all be using gold? Or should we try the bitcoin thing to me, which to be honest, feels insane.

Re: Can anyone tell me what money really is?
full FAITH and credit of the United States... think about that statement for a moment. Money is what you believe it is... the dictionary defines it as a medium for exchange.. but in reality, the constitution called for gold and silver to be the only money for a REASON.. they understood central banks and how they can control a people.. now our money is backed by faith.. speaking of which, how much faith do you have in your leaders and gov't?

Re: Can anyone tell me what money really is?
Best explanation I have ever found

We might think of dollars as being “certificates of performance.” The better I serve my fellow man, and the higher the value he places on that service, the more certificates of performance he gives me. The more certificates I earn, the greater my claim on the goods my fellow man produces. That’s the morality of the market. In order for one to have a claim on what his fellow man produces, he must first serve him. Contrast that moral standard to Congress’ standing offer, “Vote for me and I’ll take what your fellow man produces and give it to you.” — Walter Williams

Some good definitions above about what money should be, and a few others on what it is.

But as we know, there is nothing of value that the control freaks of the world can't corrupt and ruin. Money is the best way to control the world, so it's the favorite tool of TPTB.

It's a piece of paper that everyone agrees is worth a certain amount of goods and or services.

It looses it's value when everyone doesn't agree anymore.

Essential viewing on money and the banking system. Money As Debt is a fast-paced and highly entertaining animated feature by artist & videographer, Paul Grignon. It explains today's magically perverse DEBT-MONEY SYSTEM in terms that are easy to understand.

The poor keep getting poorer and the rich keep getting richer.

That does not surprise me.

What does surprise me is that actual american citizens don't even want the poor to earn a fair amount of money for their work. That's amazing.

Re: Can anyone tell me what money really is?
Every business deal or even every business itself is based on "an agreement" between two or more parties. Money is only a symbol of the balanced (or attempted balance) at an exchange of goods and/or services. The problem is with the forced agreement between the government and the American people where the money itself is issued as taxable debt and we are force to agree to be a party in business deals etc. without our knowledge or consent. (eg. black ops etc.).
