U.S., Europe have enough gold for a gold standard: 'We don't need a central bank' - Larry White
Lawrence H. White, professor of economics at George Mason University, discusses the gold standard, and falsehoods about it. He says that there is enough gold in the United States and Europe to return to a classical gold standard. Dr. White spoke with David Lin, Anchor and Producer at Kitco News.

With all the inflation going on, why isn't gold at $6k? It should at least be at $6k or more. We need to be In a gold standard, there would be more accountability and less debt. The economy we have now is artificial, not based in reality. Everything is pumped up to keep the falsehoods going. Once we open our eyes and use common sense, the whole system will be reset to real value.

I agree with Larry that CPI will stay high until the end of the year. BUT the PCE, which stupidly and conveniently for the fed, excludes food and energy, could actually go down in that time frame. The fed will of course claim victory at that point, when in fact all they have done is force people to only spend on food and energy, leaving nothing left over to spend on anything else.

Gold hasn't 'done its job'. In reality, inflation is somewhere between 16%-20% and growing, while gold is dropping. It's not a disaster for gold, but it's not fully doing its job yet. I still believe it will perform when everything falls apart, but it's not performing now.

Government is not there to control the economy. The problem is that their control efforts focus on getting re-elected, not sound management.
Great content, thank you.
If you look at the purchasing power of the USD before the Fed was created you would see that it functioned in a range of purchasing power and was stable within that range unlike since the Federal reserve has been incharge the Dollar has been stablelizing downward since its inception. IT IS THE PRINTING OF CURRENCY NOT BACKED BY ANYTHING OF REAL VALUE THAT IS INFLATION AND THE RESULTING INCREASED IN PRICES IS THE RESULT.
If only there was an OPTION that didn't require a government to manage our money supply.... Why are intellectuals still ignorantly discussing gold standards... that was fine when an analog store of value was the best option we had, but 100% of the time, gold standards get abused by the governments that implement them. Why did the governments of the past implement gold standards? Because the previous empire abused their gold standard and people stopped trusting the dominant government to manage money. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, we have an option to have a trust worthy form of money (which is always relevant in THIS phase of an empire / world reserve currency's decline) so it is obvious that the next world reserve is BITCOIN. There is no "harder" money than bitcoin and it is decentralized....on top of it being a digital store of value and having all benefits that the digital era entails, it is the clearest, best option going forward. This won't be relevant until you see the boom / bust cycles contract and become more rapid (they will be annually / monthly instead of 1-2 / decade). Eventually the dollar will fail and lose control the same way the # and the guilder did before. As an aside, its hilarious when Mr. White says landlords wont accept bitcoin. He should read some history on financial empires. When dollars start to fail, they lose money rapidly and people stop transacting with them. When one country destroys their currency, the people move to a more dominant one (Weinmar, Venezuela, etc - start using world reserves instead of their own). For example, the Canadian dollar will fail before the USD will and people will stop using canadian dollars for transactions - in preference for USD. Then USD will start to implode and people will only agree to other, more 'stable' assets (in relativity). Bitcoin is the most free money in the world ALREADY and eventually, it will be the most valuable. We are all on the titanic. Some realized the problem early and made plans immediately while others remained in denial. In the end, we will all agree on fiat being dead, but some will go down with the ship because they didn't look for the life boats earlier. The titanic always sinks and fiat always implodes.

A fixed supply of bitcoin is its advantage. People who save increase purchasing power. From the individual level, would you want greater purchasing power? The lack of supply increase means humans who hold the currency essentially participate in the increase of human productivity, rather than the cantillionnaires close to the money spigot. The guest makes it sound like we need to choose in a collective way the best money. He ignores the fact that over time THE MARKET selects the HARDEST money. And that is bitcoin.
The guy doesn't get that we had much more money printing in recent years yet inflation was much lower than today. The fact that it is a lot higher now is primarily due to the fall in supply. Of course it's easy to place the blame on money printing which of course had and is having a horrific effect but most of that inflation actually went into bonds, stocks and real estate. The inflation in the rest of the economy we are seeing now is a drop in the supply of goods. Only once the faith in central banks's ability to rescue us from this mess evaporates will the money printing inflation effect truly kick in.

Russia could be an argument with gold and commodity backed currency. Communist China won't allow world to know how much gold they hold (let alone audit it). They also want countries to use their new digital currency which has zero privacy. China also has other major headwinds like worst demographics in the world. While US is destroying itself (like all reserve currency nations throughout history have) is still the prettiest pig at the ball.
Bitcoin will be the eventual winner. The market will decide this after people realize how superior it is as a form of money. However, it is still maturing and there is a fairly steep learning curve. It will take years. The argument against it being a good medium of exchange has been debunked, as people can have it auto-exchanged for their local type, or whichever currency they prefer.

God must have missed the bitcoin lecture from the bitcoin pros. He talked an awful lot about about gold and silver being his money. I'll stick with gold and silver for the solid choices.
That's amazing! This CLUELESS interviewer thinks that money printing (i.e MMT) is needed to prevent downturns and to allow governments to spend as much as they want??
The stupidity of the questions this reporter asks this guy shows that kitco will let anyone through. Seriously, ask better questions or move on.
Stop the bitcoin idiocy!

I tend to think that money will always need a physical representation, at least in part. Otherwise u dont really have value to store which is kinda important when determining if something is money. I think it's funny that the hodlers talk about the advancement in tech and gold is antiquated yet they believe the first real iteration of digital currency, BTC, will be the one to survive.
As far as bitcoin , blockchain and all the cryptos are wonderful technology , but we don't live in a vacuum and governments are inherently evil in my opinion , they want to create their own virtual currency , and will not let bitcoin and cryptos survive through laws and shenanigans
