I missed this, I'm not a fan of commodity money as the consumer market can't be monetized like it can with fiat (not really fiat, but market dictated). Commodity money can easily manipulated by cornering the commodity. FWIW you're poorly informed on gulf currencies they've ben pegged to USD for years, the Kuwaitis use an undisclosed basket, but it's likely heavily weighted to the USD. They're currency value is lower than the dollar at 3.50-3.80 to a USD, except the Kuwati dinar which is like .3 to a dollar. Not sure what you were getting at, but the gold standard was valueless to the USA by 50's it was a smart move by Nixon and created unrestrained growth for 25 years before Jews fucked it up.Nixon shouldn’t have taken us off the gold standard. When you print money without backing it with precious material, it becomes worthless paper. Literally.
That’s why Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar’s currency is worth $3.50 American. Because they back it with oil reserves.
