- the gold standard has never stopped inflation,
- nor a currency collapse.

But Gold Itself Has NOT Collapsed : Just the
worthless paper currency.

Something of Value Will Retain It Value
and Be Of Value.

Currency exists as a medium to easily and readily
Acquire Something of Value. Currency is a Means
to an End and the End is Always Something of Value.

Gold Can Be Something of Value provided that
someone has everything they need and wants
some Gold in exchange for something they wish
to sell for the Gold.
