One currency to end all currencies - Blockchain based / never devalues

I'm sick of currencies. Currency trading is the worst scam ever. How can a piece of paper have great value one day and zero value the next day?

So my proposal:

Golda coin based on blockchain.

1 Golda equals one gram 24 carat gold coin.

1 Golda is 100 Goldins
1 Goldin is 100 Goldies
1 Goldie is 100 Goldooks
1 Goldook is 100 Goldecks

and so on, as many as required.

From this day forward, price of one gram 24 carat gold is fixed. It will never fluctuate. Anyone who earns one golda is guaranteed to possess that fixed value of wealth FOREVER, until they spend it.

There might not be enough gold in the world for all the countries to have gold deposits against their total circulating Golda currency but they have other resources that can determine how much Golda they can have in total when the prices of those resources are calculated in terms of gold.

Yes, there will be losers in the beginning when this new standard currency is being adopted but once done, you will never have to worry about different currencies again. You can focus on work or business or trading or whatever.

Are we really going to let loan sharks (which is what bankers are) ruin our lives? The change starts now. Spread the word!

DISCLAIMER: I'm no economist. I just believe that life needs to be simple and we can all co-exist peacefully, without trying to destroy the life of someone in a far away country just so we can have some creature comforts.

My humble request to people posting in this thread: Please don't use big financial terms to bash my lack of understanding of how the financial markets work. If you see a problem with my proposal, kindly explain in a way that a 5 year old will understand. There's a simple solution to every problem. We just need to be willing to find the solution, rather than trying to keep the problem alive because the very existence of the problem and its convoluted solution serves our vested interests.

Would be simpler to just go go a gold/silver standard.

I'm ready.

Kinda hard to pay bills with that though. I don't think the postal service would enjoy 10oz bars being sent to utilities in bill return envelopes. :p Going to stick with auto pay for that stuff.

Physical currency gets lost. But you can have record of your transactions in blockchain and in case of loss, put in your wallet ID and it will tell you what balance is left. The process is compute intensive so you will pay a fee. Better that than be out of everything.

I can do that with my CC and bank accounts. Log in and see full records, plus communicate with bank employees to resolve issues. No fees and not intensive (unless you get one of those phone trees).

Any form of payment will always inherently increase and decrease in value and become speculative. You saying "Stop changing the values!!" won't change that.

this seems like it will lead to deflation if population increases faster than gold/golda supply

if i put my golda under my mattress, will it be worth more 10 years from now?

if so there is a risk of a deflation depression like the 1870s-1890s

(also "cybergold" sounds cooler than "golda")

Question is, why? Who made up this rule? Just because there are more people being born and there is more supply of a currency shouldn't mean that the currency's value has to tank. It's just rich people trying to make sure they stay rich. Coz if everyone could earn honest money and fulfill their basic needs without having to take loans or owe them interest in future, they would become normal people just like everyone else. THAT is not what they want. They want to enslave the financially clueless and illiterate.

This is a silly thread. Stop posting sensical content.

No one knew at the time that bitcoin would reach epic proportions of digital wealth. Golda or Cygola or CyberGold will happen with full transparency and with the blessing and support of all the people in the world with good hearts and intentions. The wretched can choose to stay with their fiat currency.

If my inherent laziness didn't get in the way, I would so be selling bitcoin detectors. "It detects blockchain in soils, through walls, and even in high noise environments. Sensitivity to 30Gbits/cubic meter. Mbit range professional models available."

Money is a representation of Value, much like a National Flag represents a Nation. That's why its' Value changes, the underlying things it represents change in Value/Perceived Value.

Psst: both blockchain currencies and gold fluctuate in value. Thus both will inflate in value and deflate in value. Your goal would not be met this way. Sure 1 Goldecks is always 1 Goldecks. But today 1 Goldecks might buy a cheeseburger meal at McDonalds and tomorrow 1 Goldecks might not even buy a single fry at McDonalds.

Question is why? Who is doing the valuation? Surely not the everyday people. It's the ones who amass wealth, purchase real estate/businesses etc. and magnify the values of these assets so the next sucker pays more for them and so on and so forth. This artificially magnified valuation of assets leads to devaluation of currencies.

What if one goldeck becomes synonymous with the price of a certain Mcdonalds burger and even 1000 years later, one goldeck still buys you that burger. Why should that not be within the realm of possibility? We make our own reality. We can make our own rules. We can make life easier for all of us.
