We're definitely not heading to gold - as much as the goldbugs would like to think.
What we need is currency issued that is not debt-based, but instead issued by our Treasury (not the Fed) based on the completed labor of our citizens.
If dollar fails, there will be not trust to any US currency, regardless of its labelling.
OK, if you don’t like gold, suggest something else.—otherwise international trade is gone totally.
mvonfr is talking about large commodity transactions, not currencies or a gold standard.
