  • My current feeling is it's all a massive house of cards / confidence based thing

    Fiat currencies always are. It's a house of cards propped up by optimism and collective self-delusion. Seems to work though, so fuck it. Unless you're advocating a return to the gold-standard, or making seashells or (DNA hat-tip) leaves legal tender there are remarkably few alternative workable options. Other than barter, which is kinda clunky on any sensible scale.

  • Seems to work though

    Does it though, really?

    I don't have any solutions, but the path our leaders are dragging us down isn't a good one imo.
