You are right. If it was a gold based system. Wars wouldn't last very long.
The gold would soon be gone. The fiat system allows wars to last a lot longer than it should.
Why do we need wars anyway? We all know what is right.

If the cryptos doesn't get in place soon. It could be a bad time.
Fiat will fall. It always has. This time is no different.
My thinking anyway.
