@magentawave Well he was and was not at the same time. I agree with almost everything you said here but the Gold Standard was not in place until 1933, it was in place until 1913. That is when we went to the Gold Bullion Standard where we only had to have 35 or so % to back our promise in gold. In 33 is when we went to Bretton Woods and in 1971 is when we went to the managed Fiat Currency Standard. This does not mean Fiat Currency did not exist prior but now it was no longer backed by gold.

who the fuck dislikes this?
@NewMzrt9369 - Hmmm, I'm pretty sure its you that needs to "do your homework" there buddy. FDR dropped the gold standard in 1933 thus creating fiat money because the USD was no longer backed by anything of intrinsic value. In 1971 Nixon stopped foreign countries from trading USD for gold. Congress made it official in 1978. The USD has lost 95% to 98% of its value since the Fed was created in 1913. So to say the USD wasn't fiat money until the 70's is ridiculous and totally untrue.
