Also, I'm curious why money has no set unit of value, one that cannot change. Gold, while more stable, can have more mines discovered or a refinery process added to increase supply, for example. An actual unit of value would mean that a dollar has a set unit of value for all time, set by the international standards of weights and measures. We don't float the kilometre or the litre, nor peg them to gold or jugs, so why shouldn't money be treated the same with scientific measurements? Perhaps a dollar could be 1MB of data travelling through a standard fibre optic cable at speed of light?
Can you imagine floating the kilometre? One day a kilometre is equivalent to a mile, the next day everybody sells and the kilometre ilhas been devalued to 3 inches.
What are your thoughts on cigarettes as currency in prisons, or pokemon cards as currency for kids? Does the lack of gold backing take away the value the people have for it?
