I’m very confused on the monetary system that suggests our currency will be eliminated.I just don’t see how that will work? There are several opinions on what will happen. I’m not sure at all what we will wind up with in the end.
One thing that looks apparent in much of the rest of the world from the Saudis to China and Russia is that many nations are now buying all the gold they can in massive quantities.I suppose some currencies will wind up being backed by gold,I hope we are one of them.

yeah.
“the full faith and credit of the USA” doesn’t count for much these days
what’s bizarre is that it wasn’t all that long ago that chyna was still using a barter system as they didn’t have a real banking system

Under Buy-Dung? Not a chance. Under Trump? Quite possible.
Currency and financial stuff is beyond my ken.
All I knows is the Constitution says it is Congress’ duty to issue coins. Seems that the Federal Reserve is totally unconstitution. Let me look...
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/section-8/clause-5/coinage-power
ArtI.S8.C5.1 Coinage Power
Article I, Section 8, Clause 5:
[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; . . .
Because Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution prohibits the States from coining money,1 the Supreme Court has recognized Congress’s coinage power to be exclusive.
2 The Supreme Court has also construed Congress’s power “to coin money” and “regulate the value thereof” to authorize Congress to regulate every phase of currency. Congress may charter banks and endow them with the right to issue circulating notes,
3 and it may restrain the circulation of notes not issued under its own authority.4 To this end it, may impose a prohibitive tax upon the circulation of notes of state banks5 or municipal corporations
.6 Inasmuch as “every contract for the payment of money, simply, is necessarily subject to the constitutional power of the government over the currency, whatever that power may be, and the obligation of the parties is, therefore, assumed with reference to that power,”
7 the Supreme Court sustained the power of Congress to make Treasury notes legal tender in satisfaction of antecedent debts.
