I'm a modern person who has no problem with fiat currency, but I'm
still fascinated by silver and gold. They have so much value beyond
their scarcity. Perhaps a century from now they will have particle
bombarders that can transmute less functional elements into silver
and gold. The extreme ductility of gold, and the usefulness of silver
in so many applications are real.
