The whole thing is happening because people are lying faggots. (no offense to my dick loving friends) If people were honest, the gold standard would stand till to this day.
It is not just that, even if you be a honest person (or country), your competitors will cheat. Then you are forced to cheat to otherwise you will lose.
Bitcoin is happening right now. Did it solve anything? It did some but did the corruption go away? No.
Now we have a pseudo dollar tether that is 3% backed by real dollars and real dollars are getting printed out of thin air.
I think the future will be more retarded than today.
