    Money is a commodity. It differs from other commodities in being demanded mainly as a medium of exchange.

    There is enough gold to go on a gold standard. Any amount of money is sufficient for trade as long as it is divisible enough. If gold became used as money its value would EXPAND to meet increased demand as a medium of exchange. It is also important to understand that a single coin of gold can be used many times in one day.

    if you have no eggs or anything to exchange how do you exchange?

    if you have nothing to sell where do you get money?

    may it cause you to be money-printer-god-man's slave as an animal?

    This might be a silly question, but why exactly is Gold more valuable than paper? isn't the value of both just a made up concept by humans in the first place, so why is one more valuable than the other, unless you're going to suggest the other is more rare, but there's rarer things than Gold.
