I didn't watch the whole thing, but can someone explain their rationale on this:
We hope that the money as debt series has given you insights into why our money system functions the way it does. We also hope that we have demonstrated that a return to gold or a switch to any single uniform commodity as money does not solve the fundamental problems with money.
Manipulation of single commodity money has milked productive people of their life energies and prosperity for millennia.
What? I see bitcoin as a commodity money. So what are the problems they are pointing out in the video?
I'm currently of the opinion that gold could well be used as a global money (as medium of exchange and store of wealth), if only it could be transacted only without the need for a central authority. Does Bitcoin as a solution to this suffer from the same problems as gold does in the minds of the autors of "money as debt"?
