Background

Thehistoryoffiatcurrency,alsocalledtraditionalmoney,ischaracterisedbyuncertainty,unpredictabilityandvolatility.

Overthelast100-yearsorso,governmentshavebeenabletoconvincepeoplethattheirpiecesofpaper,backedbynothingbutpromises,actuallyhave‘value’.Thisseemstrulybizarrewhenyouthinkaboutit.Governmentstendtobeuntrusted,serialfailures.Yetpeoplereadilyaccepttheirguaranteestheworldover.

Thehistoryoffiatmoneyhasproventobeanalmostuninterruptedperiodofinflation,assetbubbles,booms,busts,bailouts,panics,andothercrises.

Whenthequestionisraisedwhetherorwhethernotfiatmoneyhasanyintrinsicvalue,clarityisfoundwhenreferenceismadetotheNixonshockof1971.TheNixonshockwasaseriesofeconomicmeasuresundertakenbyUnitedStatesPresidentRichardNixonin1971,themostsignificantofwhichwastheunilateralcancellationofthedirectinternationalconvertibilityoftheUnitedStatesdollartogold.Sincethentheexchangeratesofnationalcurrencieshavebeenfreefloating.Therefore,itisnotaccuratetoclaimthatfiatmoneyhasanintrinsicvalue.Itisbackedbythegovernmentissuingit,butthatisnotintrinsicvalue.

Assuch,it’shightimeforcreative,thinkingpeopletoconsidertheiroptionsandstarttradingtheirpiecesofpaperforsomethingofvalue.

Weallknowthefamiliarstoryaboutpreciousmetals–goldandsilverhavealong-standingtraditionasstoresofvaluedatingbackthousandsofyears.

Butdidyouknow,forexample,thatintheInAmerica,whiskywasusedascurrencyduringtheAmericanRevolution;GeorgeWashingtonoperatedalargedistilleryatMountVernon.Whiskywasbothastoreofvalueandamediumofexchange.Atthetime,theUShadamongthehighestalcoholconsumptionpercapitaintheworld…andpeopleknewtheycouldalwaystradewhiskyforsomethingelse.Assuch,whiskyhadsignificantvalue.
