Wow! I got the emotional talk-down tone... Looks like I spoke blasphemy against your money!
Your reply is exactly the same type of reply one would expect from someone who is defending themselves by coming up with some quotes from the bible. The points that you gave me completely ignore my point. It's like I've said that Santa doesn't exist, but you've given me reasons for why Santa only delivers presents to kids only if they were good. All you have presented are the common "memes" that are used to prop up the shared delusion of national currencies.
I can understand you - people don't like to have have their beliefs challenged, and will defend themselves vigorously if confronted.
The irony here is that I also participate in this delusion daily, I too use national currencies, including the USD quite often. Although I never pay taxes in USD, certainly never receive any welfare from the US, don't care that it's "backed by guns" or an IOU, or whatever. I use them simply because there are people all around globe who believe in them.
