I would definitely be on the commodity side of that debate.

I like tangible stuff people can use.

While I am not a big fan of gold or silver at least they have some real world use.

This computer digit stuff gives me a bad case of the creeps.

One wave of somebody’s magic wand and it is gone.

My “grand vision”/”if I were King for day” scheme is to set up an electronic commodity exchange for electronic transfers of ownership for tangible goods. Be it gold, silver, barrels of oil, tons of cotton, whatever...

Base the electronic currency on that and use the block-chain to encrypt and protect the transactions.

Or... You can literally carry coinage in whatever semi-precious base metal you prefer, or warehouse recipts for the same...

Let the currency market fluctuate with supply and demand.

Seems a bit complicated at first, but is WAY better than vaporware BTC or fiat currency based on the hope that your Nation continues to produce wealth and can pay off debt.
