The answer is - there’s enough now.

...

As I said, there’s enough now provided that its use is temporary and the politicians agree to be honest while it’s in use.

But it won’t do any good if the politicians are still crooked. I gave you an example of a well known failure (Bretton Woods) and you ignored it.

Your argument is a circular one: you can’t use gold, because politicians are crooked

Are they more, or less crooked with completely printed money?

So for you, the ideal monetary system depends on having honest politicians.

Again, good luck with that.
