Edit: I just realized you may interpret my reply as unresponsive to your question, because I didn't even mention money. Money, even gold, is just a means of communicating value in order to facilitate exchange. We can't transact if we can't communicate. The problem of securing financial transactions is fundamentally of securing free speech. I reckon there will always be a need for gold buried in the garden, too.
Even an American elementary school student like me was amazed by your outstanding wisdom!😄Dear @valued-customer !
I thought you were a socialist, a communist, not a capitalist!
But, I remember you were against socialists and communists. So, I thought you believed that pre-Civil War American society was an ideal world! Are you a Confederate supporter?
I was not aligned with either side of any conflict I know much about. I have always encountered people that seek to control me in some way to profit themselves, and I seek to avoid such control whenever I encounter it. Because of my understanding of human sovereignty I cannot support slavery, and neither would I support forcibly incorporating sovereign states into a union (slavery on a national scale), so I cannot say I supported either side in the Civil war. The Civil war was fought between two sides over what scale slavery was applied, and I submit slavery is unjust at every scale.
I find the polity that least limits my economic activity and personal freedom least offensive, and in theory this has been that political structure I have been born and resided in for my entire life. While I only briefly traveled outside of the USA as an adult, my experiences in Canada, the USA, and Mexico found the oppressive impositions on people in Canada and Mexico more troublesome than those in the USA, primarily because of the existential need people have to defend themselves, and the intolerable restrictions on firearms in Canada and Mexico. Even in the USA where it is unlawful to infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms, there are intolerable restrictions on firearms, and I do not find any polity blameless of tyrannical oppression of it's people.
The incessant advance of technology will enable humanity to escape geographical restrictions that today force people to submit to tyranny, and I look forward to the advent of absolute freedom and prosperity humanity will enjoy when able to create their own felicity in the vast expanse of the universe by developing the illimitable resources freely available throughout. Thos. Jefferson said "The polity of the Indians is that which I admire most, because there is the least of it." I agree with him, and find that polity that most agrees with me is that I myself impose, and none other will.
Thanks!
I agree with you!
By the way, I believe that slavery will never go away because it is so old that it is mentioned in the Bible. I think American capitalism is indentured slavery!
I think that America is so vast that Americans cannot get help from the police, so it makes sense for them to arm themselves!
The United States was created because Americans armed themselves and fought against wild beasts, criminals, and enemies.
The reason Americans won the Revolutionary War was because Americans were free to own guns.
But, Steve always advised me to use careful English sentences with Americans.
Maybe he was worried that I would get shot for using rude and barbaric English.😂
I felt that Thomas Jefferson's argument was excellent!
However, I remember the history that the Indian society was destroyed by the white people who came from Europe!
East Asians think that the US Indian political, economic, and social systems were too weak to prevent the invasion and conquest of the white people!

I respect your wonderful thoughts and life. However, East Asians' thoughts seem to be a little different from yours!😄Dear my respeted senior @valued-customer !
I hope your health and long life!
This seems to be factually correct, however it also seems to neglect that ~99% of native Americans died in the century after the Fifteenth Century explorers from Europe first made contact with the peoples of the American continents, and before the Sixteenth Century efforts to colonize them began. Were the native peoples 100x more powerful when the colonists arrived, I am confident things would have been much different, and the horrific pandemics that utterly destroyed the cultures and peoples of the Americas were what caused them to be too weak to prevent the invasion and conquest they subsequently suffered.
