"Electronic Assets" are risky, in many ways :
( 1 ) Every transaction is surveilled and recorded. ( No "privacy" )
( 2 ) People, "en masse" could instantly be controlled by "freezing their assets".
( 3 ) "Enemies of the State" could have all of their assets frozen or outright seized.
( 4 ) EMP could wipe it all out.
( 5 ) Clerical errors can be very problematic.
( 6 ) Hackers could "clean you out" or "siphon" funds.
"Metals / Precious Stones" are impractical :
( 1 ) As expensive as Gold, Diamonds, and even Silver have become, "making change" becomes a nightmare.
( 2 ) The "system" is not designed to work with those commodities ( especially Diamonds, etc., since each one has a different "value". )
( 3 ) Their values "fluctuate" daily and the "more there is, the less they're worth".
( 4 ) There isn't "enough to go around" for 320 million people.
( 5 ) How do people in the present system, at their present levels of income ( especially lower income ) afford to make the changeover ?
Imagine trying to buy a Big Mac meal with Gold or Diamonds . . .
How "tiny" would $7.00 worth of Gold be ? ( Almost $1250 / oz this morning )
That Big Mac meal would cost 1/178 oz. of Gold ( .0056 oz. / .159 gr )
OK . . . Silver . . . $14.65 / oz. today .
You get paid at work in Silver ( lets say $500, for example ) and are handed 2.133 lb. of Silver . . . "What's in your wallet" ? LOL !
Diamonds . . . How do you "make change" ? ( Each stone would have to be appraised for value, also )
Cash must stay . . . ( The "Fed" must go )
