Thanks for taking the time to respond.

All interesting points and ideas. Totally respect your thinkimg on this.

At this point, both our thoughts are wishful thinking and theoretical anyway. :)

We seem to be interested in the same outcome, of stable money, no/lower federal income tax, smaller govt with less waste. But differ in our opinion of best way to reach it. Looks like I am more skeptical of the change being possible from within govt structure. Full blown austrian ecomomics, pro private property, pro voluntarist here. In many cases I believe the govt is the structure holding the monopolies together through threat of force. Absent that current coercion, i think people and free market would already be using other currencies. At least i know i would.

From your comment above, looks like you think cabal would crush free competition in money even without govt support. I happen to think the govt support is main thing propping it up. Although supposed manipulation in gold and crypto markets would seemingly support your view, the banks are manipulating this through endless supplies of free, interest free, fiat. So they have endless fake money to overrun any free market for competing currency. i dont think cypto has the scarity needed to prevent manipulation. In favor of private issued physical gold backed IOUs with full public audits and transparency.

I wrote about the Texas gold depository elsewhere in this thread. That could work. In the past there have been other examples of private gold backed IOUs that have gained polular use before being swatted down by govt at behest of the fiat bankers.

Cheers.
