Wow. Tinfoil hat moralist much?

Economics is not a morality play. Your "currency" isn't worth squat without someone to accept it as a medium of exchange.

Don't forget that gold was at times an inflationary currency that also happened to have the nasty side effect of destroying populations located in areas with good mines. Like, I dunno, most of what is now Mexico, for instance.
