    Isn't it also not a great idea to use a finite commodity for an infinite popation that grows exponentially, and lives much longer due to modern medicine achievements?
     
  6. Important question-: If gold standard is introduced, will the forex trading business shut down because forex trading involves trading in USD/EUR, USD/GBP, EUR/GBP and other currency pairs.

    Forex trading also involves Gold/USD and Silver/USD trading pair.
