Bullshit.  Nobody is going to stand around saying "Who needs a reduction in counterparty risk!  I'll just be at the mercy of whatever the govt does!".  Gold and silver have nowhere to go but up in terms of utility for humans.  We are not going into some Star Trek utopia where nobody uses money like you and Anonymint like to make believe.  And cryptocurrency has no Nash equilibrium and doesn't solve any counter party risk problems.

Civilization also bends down towards it's average or lowest common denominator, and the dumbest people on earth like inner city rappers are reproducing the fastest.  You do not go into a Star Trek "knowledge age" with demographics like that.

Also, listen to Armstrong's new stupid idea:

He thinks the govts of the world should run on a standard of a basket of pegged currencies.  He then says the SDR is bad, but his idea basically is the SDR LOL.  We also already have a basket of pegged currencies with a bunch of trash fiats pegged to the dollar.  This guy is high on whiskey just talking bullshit.

But the most important point and why Armstrong is a lying shill, is he wants to leave control of the currency with malevolent, jewish central bankers issuing a debt based currency to enslave you by usury.  He's a shill for the jew banks.
