>dude the government can't just print more money because the value would decrease and we'd be like zimbabweBut if currency is no longer backed by the gold standard, and backed by, essentially, "dude trust us", why can't they?
because of the jews
How much would you be willing to suck a dick for? 100k? A million? 100 billion? Now the government prints twice that amount and gives it to everyone for free. Are you still going to suck a dick for whatever your hypothetical number is? Probably not. There fiat has an inherent based on the scarcity of the currency, even if it does not have a backing.
The thing about currency is, it's used to exchange real life goods and services with real people. Lotta guys forget that, especially goldbugs and bitbabies who hate people.
it's about balancing the theft from the wagies who keep things rolling.
